[Tacitus Kilgore]

Slick goal by Hayes btw

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Blomqvist looks to be all of 14 years old.

.... I will Google it, but who the hell is Mikita?

Edit.. Good lord, dude was killer for the stupid blackhawks in the 60s. I have never once heard that name or seen any highlights of stanley mikita. Damn. Why have the nhl buried that?

You never heard of Stan Mikita?? Interesting

Not a Wayne's World fan, eh

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Like I've been saying all summer, I bet Beauvillier lights it up on Sid's line.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

How much cap space do we gain if we waive Jarry when Ned is back lol

1.3 million I believe is the number.

The Pens couldn't literally score on Shesterkin to gain any ground any momentum. They were behind the 8-ball from the outset to the games final horn.

Yep if you can't score a single goal well your losing plain and simple. If your goalie let's 1 in or 2.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Sullivan wanted nothing to do with hugging Geno lol…

I think it was more of it was the last thing he expected.

 

[Headshot77]

+ Blomqvist is an NHL goaltender.

+ Detroit isn't good at clearing their crease / Beauvillier is kind of a net front killer like the old #72

The NHL didn't bury shit, Mikita's been a legend for decades.

 

[Giskard]

That's how it feel to have a solid goaltender performance, huh.

Jarry has been the biggest let down of this team in the last seasons.

Jarry has been the biggest let down of this team in the last seasons.

He for sure loses them 5 games a season with poor starts. Basically the difference between a playoff spot and golfing super early.

 

[K Fleur]

That disqualified goal by DOC was nice.

Didn’t know he had it in him to lift the puck like that in close.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

How would they bury it anyway?

It's not like the media is being inundated with highlight packages and dedications to other hockey superstars from the 1960s.

 

[Gold Diamond]

Good bounce back against a team that's just as mediocre as us.

Blom was good.
Sid and Geno getting points.

D still blows and Sully is a loser.

Lol I missed these takes from you!

In all seriousness, though, I agree with everything you said here.

 

[K Fleur]

I would love if this team could get Debrincat just so I could stop seeing him score against us all the time.

 

[Ogelthorpe]

You can’t be mentally weak and make it to the NHL as a regular, as well as be voted an all star (twice?).

It’s more like he is Un-clutch. He has decent stats at the end of the year. He makes some great saves, but those are usually when we don’t need it.
When the games tied with 3 minutes left and we give up a 2 on 1, that’s when he doesn’t make the great save.
It’s not that he can’t be great, it’s just that he’s rarely great when we need it most.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

I thought it was interesting that Pettersson played the most minutes of anyone, by far - but then I saw the shorthanded icetime distribution and it made sense why he played so much.

I believe we're 10-3-0 in 2nd nights of B2B's going back to last year? It's weird.

Trying to make up for the fact that we didn't win a single one of them against a rested opponent in 2022-23.

 

[End of Line]

The Team plays better in front of a goalie they hardly know.

Interesting

Just like 2016 lol

 

[AjaxTelamon]

It's become pretty clear we're not winning anything with Jarry. I understand their plan might be to let him have his usual good run in the middle of the season then trade him. But this team can't be playing games like that, they're just not good enough.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

That whole sequence which he made that beauty of a pass to Acciari. I've liked the adition of Hayes all along and happy he came with picks on top of that!! Hopefully he keeps it up and we flip him at the TD.

Like I've been saying all summer, I bet Beauvillier lights it up on Sid's line.

So far so good, he will hopefully bring us back at least a 2nd!!

 

[eXile3]

Happy to see we aren’t THAT bad.

Sullivan really needs to bench Bryce Young…oops, I mean Tristan Jarry. It’s obvious he’s a big part of the problem and drags the entire team down.

 

[PaulD]

Goaltending was solid.
Trade Jarry if possible

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

They just don’t like playing in front of Jarry. Every goal, even if it’s not on the goalie, deflates them.

A lot more resolve in front of Ned and now Blom.

 

[Pens1566]

NGL, Beauv has looked pretty decent.
