Post-Game Talk: Pens/Caps - Joel Blomqvist is the real deal

[Pancakes]

Blomqvist is awesome.

Good to see the team play hard. Still some heinous f-ing gaffes, but the effort was there and I thought they were at least trying to be good defensively.

3 points on this road trip was frankly 2 more than I thought we'd get lol

Repost from the GDT

Always fun to beat the Caps, but knowing this buys Sullivan another 6 months of grace period and further jeopardizes this team's shot at an absolute stud like Martone or Misa sucks shit.

Anyway, Geno always gets up for these Sid v Ovy matchups. Heck of a game from Blomqvist, gonna be a shame to see him sent down.

Pens winning tonight only means we ALL LOSE at the draft.

If we lose, we ultimately win! Stop playing for pride, you're not fooling anyone! You're a bad team, LOSE LIKE IT!

Blomqvist is looking like the real deal. Hope he doesn't mess up our tank the next couple years.

Saw this from Taylor in the postgame article…very true…we’re going to find out soon if Dubas has any interest in trying to contend this season by what he does with Blom lol….and more than just have a spot in the lineup, he should probably platoon as the 1B goalie…

“To this point, Blomqvist has been the goaltender that gives them the best chance to win. The only reasons to not keep him would be that he probably hurts their chances of getting a good lottery pick in the draft, and if the defensive issues aren't solved you don't want the rookie goaltender getting shelled most nights. But if they really want to try to contend for a playoff spot, Blomqvist should have a spot on the roster.”
