When the f*** did Markstrom turn into prime Roy

 

[Honour Over Glory]

0.5 goals for the last 2 games after dropping a touchdown is well….yikes.

 

[Clare2904]

Markstrom can f*** off, horseshoe up his arse all night

 

[Lemieuxfan]

Come on...that needs to be a goal..

 

[Trade]

Heinen and Jake’s chemistry has me excited for Sid to possibly join them

 

[Gurglesons]

Maybe they got tired of trying to make up for his bad passing

Rodrigues has been brilliant for us. Kapanen curling and Jake just floating around looking like a dolt has been a big part of us missing out on points.

I thought sure Friedman/Lafferty would convert the 2 v. 1.

Markstrom can f*** off, horseshoe up his arse all night

He’s been great so far this season

Pens are always like that lol

He’s been playing elite level the last 2 games vs the Rangers and Detroit. Hot goalie or not, we’re also shooting center mass, right at him which is just making his life super easy right now.

Is this sarcasm?

 

[Pancakes]

I dunno. I get being frustrated at the lack of finish but they've played a good game. What are ya gonna do. We knew the offensive wheels would fall off sooner or later with all the injuries.

 

[KIRK]

I mean I'm not giving him credit for making that kind of swap because that swap likely won't matter.

And I think in a case like this, where (a) the team is offensively challenged, (b), there's no history of success for lines or even combinations offensively, and (c) it's clear that little going offensively (and/or zero puck luck), that it's not unreasonable for a coach to mix up the lines a little, even if it's highly unlikely to work, if only because something highly unlikely to work is still more likely to work than something that isn't working.

Dude Erod has been good but tonight he has been trash

 

[Tender Rip]

There are no points for just trying, but you can't say they aren't.

Markstroem has been great, and the little breaks you need going your way... just not there.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Eh, maybe. They've been garbage all season though, independent of E-Rod's influence. Any discussion to the contrary is laden with favoritism, to be honest.

When you have a lineup missing like 40% of the cap due to injury and illness, yet guys like Jake and Kap are healthy, they can't be routinely outplayed--and badly--by the likes of Evan Rodrigues, Danton Heinen, Drew O'Connor, and Dominik Simon for the first 7 games straight. /shrug

At least PIT is actually carrying the play this 3rd.

 

[Zirakzigil]

When the f*** did Markstrom turn into prime Roy

Been that way for a few seasons.

 

[MrBurghundy]

At least PIT is actually carrying the play this 3rd.

And the 2nd, and the 1st.

I certainly like that trio's chances of clinching the cup in February.

 

[Gurglesons]

Dude Erod has been good but tonight he has been trash

He has two of our best opportunities. He is paid 5 million less than Jake.

 

[wgknestrick]

Need to get some dirty goals and pay the price in front of the net again. Just not enough crashing the net last 2 games.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

This season is the best Zucker has played in a Penguin sweater, bar none. He's forcing the issue all the time. Playing angry.
Love to see it.

Truth be told, it's not just the Pens.
