Post-Game Talk: Ice Pigeon

LOL 7.46!!!!!

This was one of those that got out of hand, but it didn't immediately get out of hand, so you didn't get that weird effect on the analytics where the team up by 6 stops playing.

It's a rare and beautiful sight.

The Pens actually produced a decent amount of chances, but based on my eye test, and period-by-period reporting from NST, they were all early.

We basically just ragdolled them halfway through the first to the end of the game. They did absolutely nothing and we put up almost 6 xG.

Think the 81-19 from MoneyPuck is actually underselling it. That was an ASS WHOOPIN'.

Pretty satisfying result to wake up to

Uhoh, we scored about half a season’s worth of 5 on 5 goals last night

Just need a few more votes for Igor to get it to 88%

This kind of satisfying?

HFDevils on Rangers game 1: Igor bailed them out.

Gotta give it to the losers from Jersey. They are in mid season form. Impressive.

"He's 90% of that team". That's why Quick had a better win percentage last year I'm pretty sure.

I only saw half the goals b/c we were switching between the heart attack Yankees and ass
whooping Rangers! Great game! Now if the Niners win tonight my week will be complete! As always LGR!

Solid win after the first 10 minutes. But the game did have a opening night Penguins delay, so maybe they were just standing around cold.. Either way, too many good chances early in the game but we bounced back after that.

Edstrom seemed to be letting his teammates do most of the work early on in the game. Maybe because he's the rookie on the team, but we saw him take more control in preseason. This is just 1 game so hopefully he doesn't feel like a complimentary piece on that line where the other 2 should have the puck more.

He'll reject it.

Trouba snow angels in the Dzone are a fact of life at this point but if he can actually get shots through this year, his underlying numbers are going to look a lot more manageable. I give him credit for not making a scene regarding the offseason rumors.

His shot has always been the ignored portion of his game but it’s always been a good one except when he’s on the pp.

Agreed, we just havent seen it enough. He's been really miscast as a defensive defenseman for this team imo. Hopefully with better health and some added motivation he can have a solid season.

He could never defend but he used to be a very good offensive play-driver. I'd like to see him and Miller stay apart as much as possible. I think they make each other worse. It's just not a fit for me.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I’d be more than fine with Lindgren sitting out the year to preserve his body.

This is a better team without him.

GM Drury needs to fire himself for having a hand in bringing in David Quinn. Then President Drury can rehire Drury once the point has been made.
