GDT: Game II Pens vs Caps Oct 13th 1930hrs: Friday the 13th

What good shot? Is he even getting in places to use it?

Yeah my disappointment with him is that he's not getting in a position to use that shot enough. If he was doing that, I'd be fully happy with him.

But like I said, I have more of an issue with O'Connor than Harkins right now. Harkins is just an energy guy struggling to get open in the offensive zone, but he's still doing something. I think O'Connor looks invisible.

Lars Eller is a plant

 

[Turin]

Didn't miss the reffing the score thing all summer, weird.

 

[ColePens]

Great block

 

[Empoleon8771]

Eller has been terrific for the Penguins

 

[Zirakzigil]

Dumb offensive zone penalties. Be better guys.

 

[cygnus47]

DOC held the stick right after too. Dumb penalty

That like cardboard Orpik?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I don't think that's the issue, they need a net front guy for that line. Rakell is definitely a goal scorer there IMO

Maybe. I would love ANY netfront guy on this team so I'd take it. It just seems that they are creating plenty but can't quite put it away. If this team's identity is going to be "offense" then it would be nice to have another pure shooter on this team, though.

Too bad Yager is a couple years off eh?

Bro don't get mad at my joke because you looked a fool calling Geno out. Don't take it out on me. It was a silly hehe joke.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Rust's skating is pretty great so far this year.

 

[ColePens]

GREAT job Smith tracking Ovy and not getting sucked in and then also getting the clear.

 

[WickedWrister]

Great blocks by Nieto on that PK

Cringe

For some reason I wiki'd Tanner Glass the other day. Was playing some puckdoku and needed a reminder of how bad it can get.

I suspect part of it is he's [DOC] used to playing center for almost all of his pro career. Regardless, he's gotta figure it out soon in the NHL.

Yeah I'm definitely not ready to throw him aside, especially with how dominant he was in the pre-season. But I'd be lying if I said I was satisfied with him so far in the regular season.

Atleast the PK is good. You'd think it would be after getting all those defensive players though.

Gladams for life!

 

[WickedWrister]

Feel like Letang is quietly having a great game. No brain farts

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Malkin is playing a surprisingly tough game along the boards in this one.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Im shocked weve held the Caps to 18 shots so far. Thats impressive.

Maybe he's not a third liner but I'll take him as a league minimum fourth liner.

It's pretty often that in reality, Geno got up for these "Sid v Ovi" matchups better than either of the guys on the marquee.

settle down now, ...anyways, joining the group with a slight dissapointment with DOC, I think we all thought he would finally break out...he just had a shift on L2 and had a chance to force the play he just stopped skating and defered to Geno and Rakell, maybe he just needs change of scenery
