Post-Game Talk: Pens/Flyers - Sid gives himself a Christmas present by dropping 4 on the Flyers

[Andy99]

Since Thanksgiving, the Penguins goalies are 9-3-1 with both putting up league average-ish or better numbers (Jarry at a .895 save%, Nedjelkovic at a .916 save%). Not sure why you'd conclude that goaltending is a problem for them right now.

Over that window, Jarry is at a -0.4 GSAA while Nedjelkovic is at a +1.76 GSAA. They're getting pretty much average goaltending from those two.

And, as others have noted, that’s been against a lot of backups or outright bad goalies…our best goalie is not even playing for the team…DK on his morning podcast believes Dubas is showcasing Jarry to trade him and is sacrificing potentially winning to do that…everyone knows our best goalie is in Wilkes lol

Blomqvist has a .903 save% in WBS, he's getting significantly outplayed in WBS by Larsson with a .923 save%.

I even like Blomqvist but take a step back with him. Jarry's playing fine right now and Blomqvist isn't lighting it up in WBS.

If you want to compare all of their NHL and AHL goalies since Thanksgiving:

Jarry: .895 save% in 10 games in the NHL
Nedjelkovic: .916 save% in 3 games in the NHL

Blomqvist: .892 save% in 7 games in the AHL
Larsson: .912 save% in 3 games in the AHL
Murashov: .882 save% in 1 game in the AHL

If they remain within five points of playoffs at TDL, they may not be buyers, but they also won't be sellers.

That would be a huge mistake. Fans need to accept reality. This glory era ended in 2018. They need to tank so they move up I the draft. They have 10 picks in the upcoming draft. If you draft high in each round, you can infuse a lot of good talent faster into the organization.

We don't have to worry about it. Dubas is going to sell.

As he should.

There's not a lot to sell other than Marcus Pettersson. Anyone else worth dealing has term.

The other ufas we have aren't gonna have much value.

Pens are playing with a speed and intensity i haven't seen from them in a while, and it seemingly came out of nowhere. Not sure what to make of what is going on.

It's not about us, dude. It's about dubas and FSG. These idiots haven't shown they will do the tank properly.

Because they were under the delusion this team was still competitive. We haven’t been in this position since before the lockout.
