I peek into the Pens future. Very satisfying.
Reminder that the Pens system was ranked #20 while the Capitals were ranked #9 by Scott Wheeler over at the Athletic.
Further, Pens don't have any core players in the NHL under the age of 29 (except for Pettersson who they just traded) except for the goalie Blomqvist. For the purposes of measuring 'core', I looked at top 10 in points and top 10 in average TOI. [For comparison, Caps have 6 of their top 10 in points 28 or younger and 4 by TOI]
You love to see it.

While the Pitt collapse is satisfying, let us not forget the lengths that Uncle Gary went to on their behalf the last time they were the suck. Middling is the goal. Think the past 60 years of the Leafs.

Crosby do not want to play at the gimmick tournament? That's why he's missing the game tonight?
I don’t see it and hope they miss. I’m speaking of the Rangers lol.

Great result IMO. Trash ass Rongos need to miss and the Pens need to stay in no man's land.
No Sid, no Geno. Pens didn’t have a shot attempt let alone a shot on goal in the third period. Rangers still lose, at home, in regulation.

I don't follow the Preds, but have to think that at some point, the GM will have to answer for the team's performance.

The feared Rangers. They look like a heartless team.
At some point, sure. I'd say this is more on the coach though. I didn't love the build off that roster like most did in the summer but looking at their line-up, it's still a team that should be capable of making the Playoffs. That kind of roster has no business being 18 points away from Playoff spot, but they are, and deservedly so because they have been playing like crap the entire season so far.
I kind of get the Trotz's decision to not pull the trigger on the coach early because he knows how tough that is on a coach but at the same time it's getting to a point where people are going to start pointing the finger at you too if you can't do what's best for the team.
I think Brunette is going to get fired shortly. This was their 6th loss in a row and against a team that's right there with you on the basement. There's 4N break coming up and no light at the end of the tunnel in sight. I think they'll have a new coach after the break.

If they aren’t already pointing the finger at him already they haven’t been paying attention. He’s made some absolutely baffling moves

He jacked up his arm/shoulder a few games ago, looked like maybe a shoulder separation?
Ironically he’s probably one of the guys most excited about the 4 nations thing. If he misses it will be interesting to see who replaces him.
