This puck and positional movement is so sweet. Very very pleasing to watch.
 
Dumoulin is transitioning himself into an all out offensive force. I think he’s spent more time in front of the opposing net tonight than his entire career combined.
 
I feel like Petry today has been better than any of Matheson's best games from last year.

It's just a noticeable difference. Matheson "playing well" is him making some nice rushes and having a nice impact offensively at 5v5. Petry "playing well" is him having an impact in all areas of the game.
That second pair just feels stable with him out there. He has a ton of poise, and he's very strong.

I think the offense will come with our ability to find the point. We might actually get some goals from d this year.

I get Paul Martin vibes from Petry. Not flashy, just gets the job done.
 
I'll be looking for how we play in the third. Last two years we had a lot of trouble playing full games. Let's see if we can start good habits playing a solid game for three periods and keeping pressure

I think he's a huge reason that Pettersson has mostly been unnoticeable tonight. He's absolutely anchoring that pair.

Speaking of Pettersson, he had a really nice play defensively there to take the body on the Coyotes forward and get the puck up the ice.

Petts being unnoticeable is not a bad thing. Last year he was noticed for the wrong reasons.

Carter and Kap just need to play better for that to happen. Combinations aren't the problem.

I think Carter looks solid but Kapanen looks confused. His thing is that he looks like he skates really fast but doesn't really accomplish anything with that skating.

You see him when he gets a break and can use his speed, but I genuinely do not remember anything happening with him using his speed.
 
Arizona doesn’t look as bad this period as people were making them out to look in Period One
 
A super ill-advised pinch by POJ led to that penalty.

Although I think the Penguins defensemen are told to play like that, but still. That was a dumb pinch.

Carter looks slower than last year and its only game one lol. He looks ok but I still think he should be on wing
