GDT: Can We Make It Six In A Row ? Boston Are In Town @ 19:00 EST

[KIRK]

He's been a freaking rock.

Total 180 from earlier in the season.

EDIT: And hockey gods forgive me for saying so, but it's only right . . . Matheson has played a smart game in his own zone tonight.

 

[wgknestrick]

Pens are giving up way too many shots to make anyone comfortable.

 

[vodeni]

And with Kapanen, there's a real opportunity for Hextall here. The East has strong teams but there's no prohibitive cup favorite among them. You find the right 3rd piece, and it's a matchup nightmare to complement tonight's GCR.

As I said, let McCann, EROD, and Zucker trickle down into your other bottom 6 line,

a poster a few posts before complaining about geno's cross ice pass to seemingly no one...you know what that means...he trusts that Kappy is flying that line...I like it...I don't want to pile on ERod, i just wish he is step faster on forechck or half a stick longer, that's all it would take to make major difference

 

[Ugene Magic]

Jarry giving me Stone Cold Murray vibes

 

[ownal]

Malkin is such a treat to watch.

 

[HandshakeLine]

If Geno and Sid are playing like this we can beat any team. I wouldn't say we're favored against a lot of them, but we'd have a chance.

This is the first time this season where I've felt a bit of that old magic watching the Pens.

 

[Tender Rip]

Awesome period (and game so far) from Jarry.
The Bergeron line is ridiculous. Marchand makes me scared whenever he is even close to the puck.

This game is not at all over yet.

What a goal that would have been for 71.

Let’s get this. LGP!

Flyers tie game on PP.

Just tying to help Jarry boost his save percentage numbers.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Does this group ever tire of being wrong about everything?

"Erod sucks"....goal, penalty drawn
"PP is embarrassing"....PPG

Did you see the power play right after?

That Bruins top line is thier whole team, one of the best in the NHL. Not many can shut em down. Jarry has been a rock so far

Yeah but Jarry has barely had to move on most

Yes, but you still have Malkin fighting with one arm tied behind his back. Instead of handicapping him, fully leverage the advantage that he and Kapanen on a 2nd line create.

(I just think that makes a lot more sense than a '4th line fix' . . . make L2 as strong as L1 and let the others just matriculate into your bottom 6)

Flyers tie game on PP.

Washington beating up on Buffalo. The COVID divisions have just made it the good teams beating up on the bad teams.

 

[Trade]

why does sully insist putting Jankowski in the game late in games and now the end of the second period. Hextall do something.

Didn’t you see!? Jank scored the ENG last game, mainly cause he was rewarded by Sully for his warrior spirit and commitment to playing the right way.

 

[ncm7772]

Like 4-5 diving plays today. Pens are playing with that urgency.

That's great to hear. Based on the shots I wasn't expecting that.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Bruins crew wondering why the Pens powerplay sucks...

Can't wait until schedule is back to normal.

To me it felt like a way to get the top guys off the ice and if something does happen bad like a fight or something it isn't our top line.

 

[vodeni]

I swear to god if that powerplay loses us this game I’ll be furious.

Refs never call that shit on Boston and we pissed it away.

sully should have learned by now that PP1 will come flat after that goal...so mix it up,

Makes sense, you add one piece to that line and everyone bumps down and you have depth. Then if by chance Zuck comes back your looking pretty nice.

There are times Geno puts passes to places he thinks EROD should be and you wonder what would if it were another guy like Kapanen.

And that's the kicker. People hear me say 'leverage L2' and think it has to be some super all star who will break the bank, and the truth is it just needs to be the right guy.

I mean, look at Kapanen. He's not a super all star. But, he's right for Malkin, and those two together are better than the sum of parts as a result.

Find a third guy to similarly enhance that dynamic, and this team is golden.

Yeah, I was wondering why not start PP2, there for 30-45 seconds?

Farabee is incredible...what a shooter...wish we had him

 

[Dewey Eye]

I'll take 33%
