Old man Hayes and Eller coming up clutch. Geno with some magic. Didnt think our defense could get worse than last year, but here we are...

Fly Penguins Fly!

  • Jarry let in a bad goal or two but looked more dialled in for the third and he really needed that, I hope that's a change in the tides for him as much as blokes here really want to keep seeing him fail
  • Malkin is everything
  • Amazon sucks
  • Messier might be having a stroke during the broadcast
  • Pens defense still sucks ass
  • Better effort in the third after getting their ass handed to them in the second period

+ Geno and the bottom-6 came to play

--- Sids line is a disaster
Eller was fantastic but that line is still not feeling it like they should. I really think I would swap Bunting with Doc or something. Geno is fine with Raks but Bunting isn't on the same page with them and Doc is a far better fit for Geno than he is with Sid.

We have some forward depth this year. . . If we could get Sid a competent winger and shape up the defense, this team could go back to being fun to watch.

+ Hayes. One of the keys to this team having any level of success this year was going to be the bottom six scoring an occasional f-ing goal. Hayes has done that so far.

+ Geno. Been our best player so far this season. Dominant.

+ Rakell. He's supporting Geno well and finishing when he needs to. This is the player the Pens need him to be.

+ Jarry. Settled in and got the W. He needed this for his confidence. We'll see if he can build off of it.

+ Eller. Two huge goals

+ Letang. The past two games he's been starting to get his game going a bit and not just offensively but in general he's looked sharper.

+ EK. I thought he was very solid defensively which isn't usually his calling card but it was the d-zone play by EK that stood out to me in this more than anything he did offensively

+ Poolparty. Shouldn't have sat to begin with. Played well tonight.

- Sid. Woof. Awful game. Didn't look engaged and was turning pucks over left and right.

- Bunting. He's just a non factor right now. Needs to be the shit disturber and pesky net front guy like last year.

- MP. Looks off so far this year.

- Acciari. I dunno I'm just not a fan. He does nothing. I guess he pks. Anyone can learn to pk.

Jarry really shut the doors in the third. Good for him.

Even if it wasn’t for that goal, I like 24, I was told he sucks so he way exceeded my expectations.

If Bunting is better and Racks a little bit luckier, L2 would have had like 10 points tonight.
Take it easy on Sid, Rust needs a few games to get in shape, they will be cooking

L3 and L4 were much better

And Karl is quietly having a good start

I hesitate to being too reactionary with Bunting. He made a difference last year and will take some of the pressure off of Geno in terms of puck pursuit and physicality; I’d like to give these guys more of a chance to gel.
