GDT: Pens vs Blues (8PM EST)

[Empoleon8771]

Dewar is super obviously not top-6 caliber but I've liked him every time I've watched him. Really hope they keep him around as a bottom-6 guy for next year.

 

[vodeni]

Dewar may be the only guy that came to Pens and exceed my expectations

 

[canadianguy77]

Really nice stick my McGroarty on that PK to break up a chance.

He definitely looks bottom-6 ready but I wonder if it's better for his development to be dominating in the AHL over a depth guy in the NHL.

Can’t get a much better teacher than Sidney Crosby. Even if it’s only for a few games.

 

[SEALBound]

Pretty decent period for McGroarty and Koivunen all things considered. That line of Dewar-Rakell-Koivunen is so awkward but they're doing okay.

I'd almost say run Rakell-Lizotte-Koivunen.

 

[SEALBound]

Letang, you dick.

 

[Andy99]

The Bruins have really figured out the art of tanking…I don’t know why we’re so stupid

 

[canadianguy77]

Letang, you dick.

He always misses the guy coming on the left side of him when he’s on his backhand side. I honestly think his peripheral vision has been messed up since his stroke issues.

 

[canadianguy77]

I could try what Sid just did to clear the zone 100 times and I’d be lucky to hit the puck once lol.

 

[PamBallam]

Letang, you dick.

He is so, so bad now. Not saying we shouldn't trade EK65, but without him we'd have literally zero transition lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

Both Koivunen and McGroarty look good out here. I'm really excited to see Malkin on that L2, I think Rakell-Malkin-Koivunen will be really good.

 

[End of Line]

Game has been surprisingly physical so far

 

[SEALBound]

He is so, so bad now. Not saying we shouldn't trade EK65, but without him we'd have literally zero transition lol

He actually made a really good play to nullify a 3 on 1. I wanted STL to score there.

sounds like a good thing to me. Sullivan will keep playing Letang 25 mins a game which is good for the tank

 

[canadianguy77]

Rutger sort of gave up on his guy there.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Ugh Jarry, first 5 shots again! Sure it’s in the second period, but nonetheless.

 

[Empoleon8771]

They probably should pay to get out of Letang's deal this off-season. I get sick imagining what his deal is going to look like in 3 years once this team wants to start its turnaround.

Considering all his legitimate past health issues, I'm betting he just LTIR retires.

 

[vodeni]

Rutger sort of gave up on his guy there.

He wasn’t the best entire sequence, slow skating back, and kind of lost, but that’s pretty much standard for a Pen

 

[vodeni]

Tanger is getting abused

 

[canadianguy77]

Getzoff really has to get our own guys names right.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Dewar getting rewarded there, nice goal for him.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

[Ignatius]

Shot of Dewar's

Bottoms up

 

[Jared Grayden]

No Holloway or Thomas is probably game over for STL.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Because I like dunking on Toronto:

Laughton: 1 goal and 2 points in 13 games, -5
Carlo: 0 goals and 1 points in 13 games, +2

Dewar: 4 goals and 5 points in 11 games, +1
Timmins: 1 goal and 5 point in 11 games, +7

Even including that crappy turnover from Timmins leading to a goal against there
