the camera guy did that poor woman 0 favors tonight

Story of her life, and really the story of anyone between the benches. It's a rough camera angle.

Blackhawks were down 2-0 gotta give them credit. I know game 1 only but playing hard.

They're going to be a very uptempo team

seems like it. Nothing to lose but I am sure Richardson will want them to play good d.
They should have a pp coming up but we shall see.

11 shot attempts for Bedard

Man Blackhawks starting where they finished last year with the pens.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

My biggest takeaway from this game is how easy the Pens are going to be to play against.

I'll say it again - I think they got EK at a bargain but it was a bad move because of what was already there. I understand the thought process of trying to kick the can while Crosby and Malkin are still around but there needed to be other things that happened (sins of the predecessor and all.)

Giving the most minutes to the teenager that just wants to shoot the puck. Some things just makes sense.

Generational talent on the mic interviewing a generational player

I am sooo shocked karlson ended -2 today, soo shocked. Going to be a mess watching him try to share the puck and play defense on a team with playoff aspirations.

When Laf can skate, stick handle, deke, and shoot like that gimme a call first.

He's basically for the pens what Kane was to/for us. Too many old cooks in the kitchen. Sure he will get his points.

Brutal loss for the Pens. Could be a long year for them. Hopefully leading to years of bottom feeding.

I'm not even sure. He prob hits 50, maybe 60 but his d is so bad is it even a net positive? And for that cap hit? People got blinded by point totals last year, he was awful and racked his points bc Quinn let him do whatever he wanted. It's not the same with a good team that has other elites that demand the puck as well. Won't be shocked if the pens miss playoffs again.

Goalie equipment in general, tbh

I always believed in Howden. Good for him. #ArrestQuinn

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Is Brett Howden elite?

Is Brett Howden elite?

better than Bedard's assist.

Like every other "misfit" from the Rangers who suddenly becomes good after leaving the team....yes.

Why are you being so soft on the guy (read: Quinn)

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

LMAO Tanev you moron

Leah Hextall had such poor performance last year when it mattered, she decided to bleach and dye the demons out of her hair.

This has been my take on the Pens since the Karlsson deal was rumored.

I’m surrounded by Pens fans and they are all super optimistic and in love with Dubas. It must be nice to have good memories and belief in your team. I understand the logic behind the move but it’s only delaying the inevitable for them.
