GDT: Buff In The Afternoon - 15:00EST

[KIRK]

Tanev the missing Geno winger?

He won't be back when the playoffs start, but Tanev-Malkin-Kapanen with ALL legit healthy (and skating fine) would work.

Of course, McCann-Carter-Zucker isn't really a keeper anyway.

That PP was beautiful

*That's what she said*

 

[PhilThrillPill]

If they lose. And Janko is benched. It was the necessary evil.

 

[Tom Hanks]

So, we're trying to figure out your random appearances. I think you're in US witness protection, and you just can't help yourself by blowing your cover to post here. Then, they get you a new ID, start watching you, so you have to disappear for a bit, until they leave you alone to blow your cover again.

Am I warm?

or ..... work

 

[Trade]

Actually a crazy call. I was sure the penalty was on Buffalo

 

[GregR]

The PK was somehow even worse than that penalty call.

 

[Darren McCord]

Rust
McCann
Tb
Zar

And you start with Carter and sceviour

 

[KIRK]

or ..... work

I like my theory better.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

To get through the division? Without a 2016 HBK equivalent? You're gonna need him to be damn good. Him and Kapanen to pick up where they left off?

Don't fall too hard for the 'borderline guys step up in the regular season' trap.

EDIT: ****

We score at the same clip as back then. Even better tbh. They're just coming from less sexy places.

Borderline guys contributing in the playoffs is how you win championships. The fact that we've been seeing it almost all year is very encouraging. Don't think it's a trap. It's a trend.

 

[vodeni]

That’s bad...PK blows as usual...it’ll be very hard to win in the POs without any improvement there

its unreal

Sully cares more about TOI totals than winning the game

Big difference between Rust in 2016 and Sceviour now, but I certainly hope you're right.

Just don't take penalties. Problem solved.

Oh yeah--forgot refs will make them up

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Can ZAR be moved to L4?

that one is on sully

 

[KIRK]

Just find a way to get the 2 points.

 

[Gurglesons]

Hopefully we don't play have to play Tokarski tomorrow lol.

 

[GregR]

Another terrible goalie having the best game of his season against the black and gold

 

[HandshakeLine]

Has anyone lol’d yet? I did.

 

[KIRK]

that one is on sully

His whole view of the PK threatens to get them into trouble when the games really count.

 

[Andy99]

it happens so often you can only say it’s the Pens...not the goalie

 

[Hockeygod66]

Decent sequence for zucker

 

[Night Shift]

Nice shift Zucker

 

[The Sodfather]

Terrific effort by both Carter and McCann there.
