Post-Game Talk: Game VII Pens win vs Avs: I dreamed a dream

[Trade]

Really great game all around. Jarry was spectacular.

Love this new third line. They look hungry.

The second line continues to play great. Rakell didn’t get a point, but he was net-front on Smith’s first goal.

Ryan Shea is awesome?

 

[vodeni]

Avs generated more high danger chances - Pens had just 4 at 5 on 5 - but it seems like those chances were largely ones that Jarry could track. Couple above the line saves that I saw, too, tuning in late.

something was wrong with NSTtonight ...Sid 0 HDCF 7 HDCA no way no how...

 

[Rudy Russo]

Zohorna has been a nice little shot in the arm. Third line looks great.

God please fix the fourth line.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Carter played just 8:14, all of it at either 5 on 5 or the second power play. He's no longer killing penalties. With Hinostroza up, I wonder if we'll see Carter scratched at some point in the next week or two.

 

[vodeni]

I honestly don't remember whan was the last time I saw Letang playing like this, flawless, he was battling infront of our goal, skating out with puck, excellent on PK, just awesome game

God please fix the fourth line.

won't do after their best game of the season

 

[Ugene Magic]

Where are all the people that said the Pens would get steamrolled tonight?

We have to give them amo, or they would have laid an egg....

 

[Zirakzigil]

That’s what it looks like when they put in a 60 minute effort. They can do it, this team is absolutely better than what we’ve seen so far. They’re good when they want to be.

Great win. Gotta keep it going on Saturday.

That’s what’s so frustrating….

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Don't get the Graves hate,,.. then again, I never got the Jack Johnson hate either.

I like Graves. I just don’t think that playing him with Letang works. He def needs to be tried on another pair. He needs to slow down a bit, feels like he’s trying way too much.

The issue is that it can’t be done with the current roster.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

I mean, it's possible. I didn't see the whole game, but if that line gave up chances in close, it's possible. Sid's goal wasn't a high danger chance. He was still above the slot before he let it go.

Where is all the HC needs fired People

 

[OnMyOwn]

Man when you have a third line that can generate, it sure makes a difference.

I thought graves and shea looked good. Letang had a phenomenal game. Jarry was all-star Jarry tonight.

 

[Gurglesons]

Carter played just 8:14, all of it at either 5 on 5 or the second power play. He's no longer killing penalties. With Hinostroza up, I wonder if we'll see Carter scratched at some point in the next week or two.

They should scratch both him and Chad. I wish we had a C to come up and move Acciari to the wing.

Where is all the HC needs fired People

Still needs to be fired.

 

[Andy99]

They better play this same way against OTT, not just the SC contender on a heater…keep the defensive adjustment, play defense first and be opportunistic…that’s the way this team is going to win, not with all the aggressive offensive pinching…

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Ryan Shea is awesome?

Yeah I’m on the Shea bandwagon.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Shea was a +3. That'll do...

I would have called up White instead of Hinostroza for that exact reason. But I guess Hinostroza has played really well, one of the more consistent players so far for WBS.

I'd run POJ-Shea on the third pairing, too.

 

[cygnus47]

So did HC Shithead get through to them or did the Players win in spite of HC Shithead? asking for some friends

HC Shithead finally made a defensive adjustment that I've been bitching about since 2018.

he had eror after error in the first 30 minutes, than all of a sudden he turned it around and was solid the rest of the way

 

[Turin]

When’s the last time a bottom six line actually looked good? Replace Carter with Hinostroza now.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Carter played just 8:14, all of it at either 5 on 5 or the second power play. He's no longer killing penalties. With Hinostroza up, I wonder if we'll see Carter scratched at some point in the next week or two.

Has Hinostroza ever played center because I would like to see Acciari play right wing?

 

[farscape1]

HC Shithead finally made a defensive adjustment that I've been bitching about since 2018.

And probably the last time we see it this season.

 

[TNT87]

Right here.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Has Hinostroza ever played center because I would like to see Acciari play right wing?

Earlier in his career he played some, but he wasn't great. Much more useful on the wing.
