GDT: Game XI Pens vs Quacks 2200hrs EST: Round II of duck hunt'n

[vodeni]

I got here. Already saw Rakell with hid Tyler Kennedy impression.

that was an embarassingly bad shot

 

[Jobeycool]

Good luck, go 10-2 it's ass!

With Gibson's rebound control it could be possible.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm just ecstatic that he's finally getting his shot. I've beat his drum for 4 years. Everyone always put the big man down calling him fodder.

His analytics, skill and physical nature have always had me screeching for a shot.

The dude has a near 65 CF% with a 60% DZone start.

Honestly I think he looks better now than he did in the past. In the past I think you could see the hockey IQ, but it didn't stand out notably. But he looks like a legitimate play driver this year.

He went from "he knows where to be on the ice" to "he knows where to be on the ice and can drive play to get the puck there". At least for the standards of a 3rd liner that is.

 

[Pancakes]

It's an issue Pancakes. It is. But there are ways to coach around it with a guy of Geno's caliber. Our coach doesn't seem to care to try though.

I do agree overall as a team that we'd be better served with a more passive forecheck. But it's not happening while Sully is the coach sadly.

Rakell will never score

Lost confidence. If both L! and L2 are killing it, you change nothing. But when both lines seem to be struggling for legit chances....maybe try something ese? Maybe.

 

[Gurglesons]

L2 looks like a wet fart because Geno is Mario circa 2003 levels of slow. We all need to admit that as fans first though.


I will never give you the satisfaction of the like.

Bizarre take. Malkin has been great.

Sending Rakell up to L1 for a spell to get well is so obvious that Sullivan will never do it lol

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Sharks gonna win before Raks scores.

 

[canadianguy77]

We're going to lose this and the next few. This is similar to what DB did at the end. Strong win with guys you dont really want to play then you switch back for whatever reason and you lose a few. Didn't it go something like that?

 

[66-30-33]

Officials drunk?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Officials

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Huge slewfoot on Graves uncalled somehow.

 

[canadianguy77]

Bizarre take. Malkin has been great.

He has been. But his line is slower than the rest. It shouldn't be expected to play like the rest.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

We could use a PP.

 

[Zirakzigil]

We could use a PP.

 

[Andy99]

I guess the Ducks never do anything wrong and we won’t get a single PP this game

 

[DesertedPenguin]

No flow. Puck constantly bouncing. Constant stoppages.

Just a forgettable November hockey game.

 

[Andy99]

I love how absolutely boring this game is…that’s the only way the Pens will ever win lol

Weird. Penguins have looked great.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

How the f*** isn't that interference on DOC?

 

[Zirakzigil]

I love how absolutely boring this game is…that’s the only way the Pens will ever win lol

Ducks right now

 

[canadianguy77]

Geno got that shit off in no time tho...

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Weird. Penguins have looked great.

Oh, not taking anything away from their play. Actually nice to see that they can play one of those games.

But it's not a scintillating viewing experience.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Malkin gets that up 6 more inches, it's 2-0

 

[canadianguy77]

Geno got that shit off in no time tho...

We need that no fear, every time one-timer.
