GDT: GDT#4| Penguins vs. Redwings | Wed, Oct. 18 2023 7:30 PM EST|LCA| Hey, it's My B-Day, all I want is a Karlsson good game...

[Ugene Magic]

Happy Birthday!

Having flashbacks today to other early season matches between the Pens/Red Wings. X-Generation when Marty Straka and Rico Fata scored late to run all the Wings fans out of the building sad. Another was after the 08 Cup Final. Jordan Staal went off. Pens came from behind late. Prolly one of the best regular season games in team history.

Let's hope we're equally as entertained tonight.

Good to see you around, and many thanks..!

Entertainment is really all it is about. I think we get that aspect, but ultimately it is about wins/losses. That adds to the entertainment level just knowing they at least have it in them to provide both.

I also don’t know what to take from the fact that Geno is not out for the morning skate per usual…already feeling the legs three games in lol?

“The Penguins are holding an optional morning skate at Little Caesars Arena. Taking part: Nedeljkovic, Shea, Ludvig, Carter, Smith, Joseph, Nieto, Eller, O’Connor.”

reverse jinx

Have some heart for the victims of the hand shake line skip massacre

Detroit still hasn't recovered

Det went toe to toe with a good NJ team a few days ago. Should be a good test for this slow Pens team

Gotta beat other bubble teams like this or this team has no chance

Winning against the Flames while trailing after two on the 2hd of a B2B gives me some hope that things might be different. We should have a good showing tonight, let's hope so.

3-1-0 would feel nice after the stench of the opener.

Feels sorta like a sleepy, letdown road game to me though. Might need a few random great efforts from individuals.
Maybe a DOC carry? He's due...

Really? Absolutely no one in the bottom six looks like they’ve been close to scoring a goal to me lol

Weird ass schedule for sure. No game for 4 days? Could be some rust

As a person who is out of shape but back into his soccer indoor league.

I use to do the jogging / intensive for warm up.

Now I just stick to stretching. I would rather Geno who knows how to skate back and forth conserve some energy and rest any bruises that he may have already received.

I'm more concerned Harkins is not out there. Him and O Conner are both bringing line 4A down and should be out there getting more reps with Eller.

I seriously can't see Eller staying super good and someone needs to pick some slack up for the old man.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Damn, now you guys are the old team.

No shots in 2 games. I could see him landing one on net tonight. Stay tuned.

Think we win today, lose Saturday.

I think last I looked, only Acciari had a respectable number of shots in the bottom 6 so I think he scores soon. (Edit: Eller has 7. Acciari 4, everyone else fewer).

I think TONIGHT is the night Harkins scores an NHL goal for the first time since Christmas week 2022.

Take it to the bank.

It's gonna need to be a double-deflection type at this rate

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I dunno about the bottom six but I think a defenseman will finally get on the board, tonight.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Thanks for the head's up. I was getting warmed up to rage on ESPN+ for not having my game, I'll happily redirect that bile at Perron and Spring.

How is year, what is it 8, of the rebuild going?

I think the bottom six finally scores this fine evening.
