Which one? The one where Kapanen was holding on to Panarin on a scoring chance?
The egregious slash by Rodrigues? What a joke

I really liked Braun’s game tonight

I thought he looked uncomfortable at first, perhaps because he’s RH playing on the left, but he adapted nicely. He positioned himself well, didn’t commit to huge hits, and covered passing lanes and shooting lanes. Would have liked to see him be more physical in front of the crease, though.

Damn losing Goodrow really sucks. I guess Hunt-Rooney-Reaves it is for now.

That Reaves hit on Malkin in the 2nd was a thing of beauty btw. And of course he gets up mad and tries to go knee on knee with Hunt. Typical Shrek right there.

I haven't looked at the numbers yet but from the eye test I thought Fox was looking really Foxy tonight, especially with the puck. Miller also looked really good. Trouba seems to really be struggling, I wonder if he's hurt.

Even if Igor embellished that, I do worry about him considering his groin injuries in the past. Contact like that resulting in an awkward fall could be extra dangerous for him.

Someone mentioned the kid line's corsi was good?
They were invisible in the o zone
Got pinned many times in the d zone
Im rooting for them but every shift i became more and more disappointed
I thought they were better last game
And it seemed every shift of their's was only 30 seconds..

Vatrano was all over the place
Sam had to speak his name 20 times or more
Great game
Pan was much better but still handed them their first goal and shesty bailed him out another minute later
Fox and miller were great
Trouba was better
Braun and nemeth..meh
Schneider much better
Need more from mika
I know he's not sid but he is our 1c and needs to step up
Kreider too
We were suppose to have the best 4th line in the playoffs
Motte goody will be missed 5v5 and on pk
Hope lindgren injury isnt serious

Regarding kid line: I saw one decent hit from Laf. Kakko possessed the puck reasonably well. Chytil was ultimately the catalyst, but he has neither the talent to finish, the vision to create, or the puck support to promote possession. Reminds me of the fast skater on the Mighty Ducks who couldn’t stop.

Kid line some how had a good Corsi and also got pinned in their own end.

It happened like once in the third period lol.

They barely played. The Top 6 ate most of the minutes as they should have

We’re gonna need to stay healthy the rest of the way, for Dumoulin to be out, likely for Rakell to be out, and definitely for DeSmith to be out, to win this one. Still don’t like our odds, but I’m certainly more confident than I was after Tuesday.

Eddie O was brutal tonight - no way Igor tried to ram into Carter (Igor whiplashed back which indicated he wasn’t expecting contact). For koharski to then come on and agree 100% was ridiculous.

After the Vatrano goal, Eddie says “Pens need to find a goalie fast!!” Was Domingue really that bad tonight? Other than the Vatrano goal it’s hard to blame him on any of the others.

Just piss poor analysis - no wonder Eddie got benched in 94

He didn't play bad at all. 3 of the goals against were deflections including one off of his defenseman's skate.

Eddie O was definitely having a fierce battle with the bottle of Tito's tonight

Glad to see we’re not hearing much from the disappointingly large contingent of posters that were throwing in the white flag after Tuesday.

The team did what they had to do tonight. Still not excuse not to win this series even as the injuries mount. PIT has it worse for sure and really don’t have much to offer after their top line.

Also, agree with the “Shesty needs to stop diving” crowd. We like to pile on Stutzle for being a bitch. Things are a little different for a keeper, but there is zero reason for the best goalie in the world to play that way. Fatso was an egregious flopper and I hated him for it. Not going to turn a blind eye because he’s our guy.

Hoping Motte starts skating soon to offset the loss of Goodrow.

Win the next one and get back in the driver’s seat.

If he spent more time talking to his players instead of whining to the refs, and if Penguins spent more time on their feet instead of on the ice, Pittsburgh would be unstoppable.
