This is going to be tough game for the Pens, playing less than 24 hours after a road game...FLA has an advantage and if anything suffers in these b2bs, it’s usually defensive structure/details which requires the most work...FLA has a killer offense...very worried about this game and the work it’ll take to control them...not sure we have it today...have to hope Jarry is stellar...

also rookie no-name goaltender and all...bad news

As depleted as we are all, games are likely gonna be difficult.

So we have been told we are the fastest team in the NHL and now the harest working in the NHL. Thanks JR, thanks Sully.

As for the goalie we are facing, he's played 5 games and his save% is

1.000
.880
.955
.897
1.000

Soo...he's due for an under .900 now.

Rust hattrick please.

Thank you for the kind words. I enjoy doing them and feel fortunate for getting to know you folks. It all started with a simple post acknowledging the greatness of Malkin after the Pens came back against the Canucks in that insane game end of November. It seems a lot longer but it's only been a month. But what a month for the Pens!

 

[Ogrezilla]

I love it.
