Awesome game. Good to see two real strong back to back performances by the team.

+ Kapanen is alive
+ Rust is alive
+ Zucker needed that goal
+ Sid with the empty net (lol)
+ Biddington for.. Inciting..???

Anyone taking bets on if Sully will move Rust back to pp1 next game?

Really nice to see the 2nd line and Kapanen have great games. If those two are clicking, this team definitely has a great forward group. Everyone knows that the Guentzel-Crosby-Rakell line is terrific and the 4th line keeps getting the job done.

How has McGinn been? Any chance you guys try him in Zuckers spot on the second unit

Fun Saturday night of watching the Pens win.

McGinn started off the year poorly but has really settled in nicely on the 3rd line. And no, Zucker has been great this year. He's not someone who will get bumped off of the powerplay unit.

 

[Tender Rip]

That was enjoyable in a multitude of ways!

Let this be the turning point for Rusty, thanks.

And to all us resident experts… switch Rust and Rakell and the PP comes alive. Like clockwork .

Hell yeah. Nice win.

To be fair, it was the 2nd PP unit that came alive, not the 1st PP unit.

What happened to the blues? Our guys thoroughly dominated possession against them which I totally didn’t expect. Heck of a game by all 4 lines.

 

[Turin]

Weird game basically dominated by this years whipping boys and last years whipping boy. If Rust stops being a husk and actually plays like Rust then that solves a good many issues. Kapanen at the very least is driving his value way up.

Nice to hear about Brocky. Hopefully he can keep that up.

Also fair enough, thanks.

Did I really have to do more to make the irony apparent?

Cheeks Klapanen strikes again!

Blues have been as hot and cold as the pens

I feel like PP1 had a few decent looks at least. Rakell took a few shots. There's the barest signs of life there.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Kap had a game....

Still looked better with Rust off the first unit. If he continues to help pp2 then great.

Too bad it didn't fix PP1

PP1 is still abysmal

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Unsure if Secondary Sid or EN Sid is my favorite Spite!Sid, but both sure are fun. Once again unsure why any coach pulls the goalie with a three-goal deficit, but since it wasn't Sully this time I'm not mad about it.

Good for Kappy, and Rust finally waking up, and Zucker breaking through. Even when he's struggled since coming from the Wild, he's always working his tail off.

That Blues goalie tandem are seriously dueling for least likeable players, and that's stiff competition they're up against. Yikes. Real glad Greiss was a short-lived experiment with the Pens.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

That was great

f*** the blues

 

[Flying Dego]

This game is a magnified example of why I harped that the key to us having any success this year is if Zucker and Kapanen put together good seasons.

Zucker has been absolutely stellar 18 points in 23 games while playing awesome all around hockey.

Kapenen. Last game he got the monkey off his back. Tonight looked like a confident player. If he can harness this we become a hard team to knock out with that depth.

Kap is an easy scapegoat but I'm rooting for him. Him failing just puts us further away from a long shot cup run.

I did not watch the game, had something going on, looks like great effort, how come Geno got the point on PP2, did he refules to leave the ice?
