Good news: the Pens aren’t losing after one period

bad news: we don’t look better than the Jackets who are going to take up the bottom
of the Metro this season…

Well we played half of the period short handed, wait for the second

Good news: Our three best players aren't playing tonight. And as much as it pains me to say, Zar is wayyyy better than Boyle right now and would be a big boost to the 4th line.

Boyle getting a contract is just embarrassing…he’s not a NHL player atm and may not be again….

What the rat is going on when Ruh has the best snipe of pre-season? He's having a pretty solid game in general.

Those penalties. I don't love the consistency. I don't think it's a surprise that the refs call that when there's been so much talk about dirty play, you spear a guy like that and you're handing the refs a blank cheque to do with as they will. Like good on them for sticking up for Jarry, that's a piece of shit move to begin with, but maybe not like that.

I'm more bothered by what Marino and McGinn were doing on their goal than anything else apart.

Feel like Heinen and ERod have had some nice moments.

Finally, I can see myself eventually hating Brian Boyle even more than HandshakeLine does at this rate.

I agree, but that penalty was kind of bullshit.

It is always funny to me to see us acquire these tough big guys and then suddenly they are completely neutered by the refs here while on other teams they just run buck wild.

I was a little surprised by that penalty for sure. Just everything else.

McGinn has been underwhelming

Yeah but nice pass for Ruh's goal (if the NHL site is right).
