3 pts away from a playoff spot boys!!! Lol

Wtf why are we winning games that wasn't the plan

Still in the running for a top-5 pick. But they gotta stop this bullshit, meaningless winning, or we're gonna end up back with another 12th overall or something.

Finishing the season last in the East and 1 point from a playoff spot might be possible.

 

[Turin]

Maybe the Penguins aren’t bad. Maybe Ryan Graves is just bad.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Free Jesse Puljujarvi over Matt Nieto.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

It's amazing how good your goalie can look when his two best Dman make 1 huge defensive play each.

Didnt watch a lick of this but good job Jarry and Tomasino?

Yes. Jarry had a good game. Pens gave up a glorious chance a minute into a game that got by him, and other than that he was solid. Tomasino is hungry, trigger-happy, and looks to have good instincts generally in the offensive zone. He has some warts to his game, sure, and candidly it's an indictment on this team's prospect pool that he's far and away our most NHL-ready young player capable of playing in the Top 6.

 

[Turin]

Honestly really like Lizotte

 

[SomeDude]

Meh. Since the Oilers forced the NHL to only allow teams to be able to win the lottery twice every 5 years, I don’t want to finish too low this year with no real consensus 1st OA.

Sullivan put DOC, Geno and Tomasino on a line together in the third period which lead to the game winner by Tomasino. DOC was crashing the net and Geno set up Tomasino fo rthe goal.
Jarry looked fine and had two huge defensive goal saving stops first by Letang and second by Karlsson.
We can only hope that Nieto sits for either Pujujarvi or Glass soon. Pickering or Graves may play on Saturday night over Shea or St. Ivany.

The Penguins have an actual team here if Mike Sullivan was a coach with balls.

I didn't watch tonight, but I just see these flashes.

Instead we have to cater towards even worse versions of the Glass Vitale Adams line because Hayes and Acciari are making 5.5 mil.

I'm fine with us running one of Hayes, Acciari or Lizotte, but all three is f***ing dumb as hell.

Throw in the Bunting contract Dubas acquired. I get that Sully is at fault, but from the other perspective your GM acquired Hayes, Acciari, Lizotte, Beauvillier, Bunting, Glass, etc. You have to play these guys right?

Dubas is becoming even more extreme of a problem than Sully. It's insane....

So, this part of the Dubas Plan?

Yeah, again, rebuild or not, it's criminal we have done everything possible to avoid changing coaches because simply, "what if it isn't quite the time to start the rebuild" is a question that you should answer before you begin to tank.
