GDT: #55 - PIT @ TBL- 7:00 PM ESt

[Coastal Kev]

Friedman is basically being given the period off. About 1 shift so far, the 1 where Gino scored.

Thought he play great tonight

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Plenty of great goaltenders have had awful first playoffs.

I named a bunch of them, but when blokes want a narrative, they will find one.

Price, Vasilevskiy, etc.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Yes. But also all out effort from the Pens in forcing them.

No doubt. The pens were in their faces all game, but there were a lot of unforced turnovers.

 

[vodeni]

Friedman entertains me but if he's in the doghouse, it would be nice to see POJ for a few games.

why would he be in the doghouse?

 

[Andy99]

L1 of course gets their EN goal lol…

 

[3ladesof5teel]

why would he be in the doghouse?

I think hes on the bench with 19 virgins

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Oh you

 

[Empoleon8771]

It may solely be because of the lower expectations coming into this year, but I feel like this year has been the most enjoyable team to watch in a good while.

Crosby, Malkin and Letang look as good as they reasonably can, they're winning a ton and there aren't any glaringly bad players anymore.

 

[orby]

Sullivan's been sitting him for most of the third. Might not mean anything beyond this game though.

 

[Sorry]

Sid will be awarded an assist there...

As if we are worried about stats. Pens crushed tonight. Bring on all comers.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

He was just out there, when Kapanen made an idiotic lateral pass that wasn't that sharp.

I love these even more after so many fans have given up on them because they are "old"

 

[66-30-33]

Why is it unasisted? thought Crosby hit it up in the air towards Jake and he controlled it at the end of some bounces and put it in?

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Yeah and plenty of bad ones have too. There was no guarantee he'd play like this so I'm giving him all the respect. Incredible performance.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

LMAO

PHI vs MIN

It went from...
PHI 4
MIN 3

To...
MIN 5
PHI 4

In 30 seconds...

did not notice, hope he is not benched for that penalty

 

[Trade]

100%. I know Quick had like an .880 in 09-10 then won the Smythe in 2012.

Philly is a barely an NHL team.

They just added the assists (Letang & Crosby)

 

[Gurglesons]

How is the hit of the game not Malkin on Bellemare?

 

[HuskerTornado]

How is the hit of the game not Malkin on Bellemare?

My thoughts exactly. That was a tooth loosener.

 

[Zirakzigil]

How is the hit of the game not Malkin on Bellemare?

Another casualty of the Russian sanctions

 

[Dessloch]

Crosby was robbed of an assist earlier this season, glad it did not happen again

 

[Empoleon8771]

Now that I live on the west coast, watching Penguins games is even nicer because they end at like 7:00 PM at the latest. Throwing on games as you finish work and watching hockey from the end of work until you go to bed is amazing.

Secondary Sid strikes again!

It's why I hate when Pens play out West.
