GDT: Pens @ Face Painters / 1900EDT

I am shocked that the PK can function without that all time great penalty killer Noel Acciari. Shocked!

Good to see Geno playing well even though his line somehow failed to score at even strength despite dominating the play. But such a strong sense of deja vu with the Pens suddenly showing "character" when there is nothing to play for. You just know that if this were a must win game they would have crumbled like a house of cards after the terrible start.

Rakell really takes a step down in his play when he’s on L2 with Geno…if we’re going to play a kid and Rust with Sid next season, that’s even more reason to trade Rakell, which should have happened already!

Bruins absolutely tanked after the deadline. Barely tried and got badly outscored in ten straight regulation losses.

Pastrnak is 4th in points and they are even worse than Pittsburgh.

Boston was in the playoffs until the injuries and sell off. Pasta is good, great even, but the bulk of his points came on a better team with higher aspirations. They were just way better at bottoming out

I didn’t watch this game but I saw that Pono had only 10 minutes of ice time and like barely anything in the third period…wasn’t good on FOs but Sullivan is up to his old tricks lol…I mean was it more important to win that game or give young players, particularly one who will not be waiver exempt next season, a good look and some experience? So what if the coach doesn’t trust him atm…this is why I’ll probably have a stroke if Sullivan is back next season lol

Put down the 100-proof bottle... and join us in the real world.

A good coach would notice this. You know who generally looks really good with Geno? Superstar Bryan Rust... who apparently can't be demoted from the top line nowadays.

Funny story - when Cody Glass seemingly scored with a one-timer from near the blue line my jaw was literally hanging open. Then on replay I saw that his shot was going well wide until it hit a teammate and everything was right with the world again.

I think it’s good when my hockey team wins games

I think it's better when the coach has to pay for the consequences of his ignorant actions over the course of 8 seasons where failure has become the Penguins Identity.

7pts in 11 games though mate. That’s more than enough to also show another player that was liberated from the dipshit Sullivan usage and thrived. A tale as old as time at this point.
