He saved money by switching to Geico.I also want to know what the hell Kessel did differently this summer.
I sure didn't expect this. He's playing like he could have a career year at 30.

Sucks we're gonna lose Jarry eventually but I'm going to enjoy the ride while he's here.
"Easy" would not be the word to describe Kessel's off-season training routine. He spent part of his summer working with Gary Roberts, who is considered ground zero when it comes to summertime workouts.
"Gary's a great trainer, and we have a great group," said Kessel, 30. "We have a lot of fun and we train hard."
"I think everybody in general is seeing, at 30, a decline in players' performances if they're not doing the right things off the ice," Roberts said. "I think Phil recognizes he needs to do a little more off the ice in order to keep him healthy and to give him [a chance] to be an elite player for a long period of time."
Well there was that hush hush Sully/Phil meeting in the summer. Other than that I assume it was a normal summer for Phil. Probably worked a little with Gary Roberts like he did the year before.
ETA: He did...
I'm sure there will be speed bumps at some point with Jarry but it's good to see him have some early success so that he knows he can do it.
It's puzzling why he wasn't on the team from the start. Kid had a 925 save percentage last season, and it was his second year in the AHL. It's easy to use hindsight of course but imo there was no reason not to pencil him in coming into this year. Two seasons in the AHL with his second being very good. He was ready.
Can someone confirm...i heard he started using Listerine?
So, now that Jarry's stringing together some good games, why are people still talking about packaging him for mediocre trades? I'd think that as of right now, neither Murray nor Jarry would be available, outside of being insane overpayments.
Honestly, of all the places to look for tweaking, I'd say the goalie situation is as untouchable as the top 6 center situation.
Add in Kessel to make it work cap wise. Get it done, JR!
Pens have won 4 in a row, but the last 3 wins have come against the worst team in the league and a team on a 10 game losing streak.
We will get a better idea how the pens are playing after this week when they play NYR Isles and Leafs.
Jarry has looked good, but teams don't have a book on him yet.
It took teams a while to realize Murray's glove wasn't great.
nobody, but Murray will look good in SeattleSo when Houston or Quebec get a team, who do we expose in the expansion draft?
But..I mean..like..they were still wins, right?
They could have been losses. But. They..were..wins..maaaaan.
Spoiler alert: glove side on any goalie is a good choice for a shot. Although the hand is fast, it doesn't cover as much as a blocker and stick to start with.
And people were targeting high glove on Murray by the playoffs..after what, 15 games? Maybe Jarry will fall apart in ten more, though...
Be positive when the team gives us something positive....we'll have a chance to complain soon enough, I'm sure.

I get what you're saying, and it's good to have as a reminder.
Any goalie's going to fall down to earth, and any goalie is beatable. But that's also why I'm advocating on evaluating Jarry before making any decisions about who is the franchise goalie going forward. Keep him around, he's cheap, it's a good time to figure out what you have, and it looks like he's ready to make a name for himself in the NHL.
Even a bad NHL team is better than a good AHL team, you know? Might as well evaluate him here now while we need 'im.
It would be extremely nice for Hagelin to start turning it around and for Sheahan to continue playing how well he has played. I think if your 4th line is Hagelin-Sheahan-Rowney, you're well set going into the playoffs. And even if it isn't and either Hagelin or Sheahan are in the top-9, I think just having one of those guys on the 4th line is a big help for that line.
