@duckaroosky -enjoy the music.

Mann if Mac really wanted that hat trick he probably could have had it with that empty net if he tried a bit harder or was a bit smarter. Learning moment for sure he’ll have a bunch more in his career

Things move fast in the NHL. If you would have told me two years ago that Ovechkin’s team would be retooled on the fly successfully as a dark horse cup contender and Crosby would likely be spending his final years in a long rebuild, I would have laughed in your face

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Mac hasn't been a #1 star in so long he went straight to the locker room and passed up Ally for the post-game interview as the #1 star. Hilarious that even the PA system had to call Mac back out.

Carlsson played 11:48 tonight, about a minute more than Harkins.

cronin's system, fam!!!!!!!

Trouba was somehow a +5, damn.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I think there’s a handful of us who’ve thought that MM hasn’t been nearly as bad as the general consensus but he definitely was struggling for a while. But he’s really turning it around of late, statement game.

Oh he wanted it, but carrying Rakell on his back made it 10x's more difficult. I felt bad for Mac and surprised that Rakell backchecked.

It’s about time a message gets sent his way. Sorry, but he’s sucked ass. He’s a #2 pick and more is expected of him. Period

Sophomore slump hit him hard. He needs to work on his breakways and in tight shot... He could have at least 5 to 7 goals more this year if he would be able to bury the chances he's had

He was very mean tonight too.

He's 20. I'm sure the message isn't "more is expected of you" rather than "let's ease off and reset a bit".

 

[duckaroosky]

He was very mean tonight too.

And he dropped his mouth guard on the ice and just picked it up and put it back into his mouth.

 

[LuGBuG]

Imagine we could score goals consistently!

Sure, whatever works

Glad Hazy gave props to LaCombe-Gudas for shutting down the Crosby line in the post-game show.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Told you the power of zegras

Mac suddenly pacing for his usual 17+25. Need him to keep going, but signs of life.

Poor guy just always seems depressed. You can tell in the post game the sincerity “ nothing beats winning “ when speaking to ally. Goals aside tonight. You can tell killorn vatrano and strome gudas really care a lot about the young guys and try to cheer them up and get them going. Trouba was a captian and one that his ex teammates seem to miss. Verbeek has done a good job of bringing in the right type of veterans character in. They all try hard

The best part of the win is Gibson being the X factor. I don’t know why the Penguins signed that terrible contract with Jarry when Gibson was on the trade market.

Gibby held the door close in the first when the Pens had like 6 or 7 SOG's and we had none. Glad to get great goaltending again and happy that Gibby finally got run support b/c his last three games the other teams pitched shutouts.

Random guy of the night: Helleson looked really good again
