GDT: | Pens vs Flames | Nov 23rd 1900hrs EST | And the Pens go marching on

[Trade]

Nice job Weegar ya dumbass

And he still lost the battle

 

[crosby87]

was the ref hoping archibald would retaliate or something? how many times are you going to let him blatantly break the rules

 

[Andy99]

Do people still hate the Archibald signing?

Nope..he’s been awesome at drawing penalties…too bad our PP is shit

 

[WickedWrister]

I kinda like having Petry there to feed one timers to Letang and Geno

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

In Weegar’s defense he was boarded

 

[Trade]

Lmao was that Petry shouting “f*** off” when that puck jumped over his stick?

 

[Pancakes]

Not a terrible pp at least. Some shots

 

[BobCole]

Pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass

 

[Turin]

The last time a powerplay that used two defensemen worked that didn’t include Shea Weber was like 2010.

 

[vodeni]

the PP was OK, wish we have someone other than Jake, not sure why he is there since he is not screening, he does not get to any of the rebounds

 

[Hotep Numminen]

i don't get the 2 dmen on the pp thing if you aren't going to have them both up top as a safety measure for all the sh chances they give up. but if geno is still showing up at the left point, seems like a waste of time. not that i need to see rust out there

 

[Tender Rip]

Should have had a couple more goals in this one. Looks good when are in the offensive zone. L2 dangerous almost every shift. L1 also sniffed. Paging Mr. Blueger though...

Didn't connect on that PP after the bungled shortened one, but I rather liked what I saw in terms of the movement/positioning on it.

 

[Andy99]

Watching Flyers-Caps and the Caps PP looks so easy…they get a rebound, Ovie makes a move around outstretched goalie skate and put it in the net and we make scoring a PP goal look like finding the Holy Grail

thats what I just said about Guentzel...if we had a guy to pick up the rebounds and those loose pucks around the net plus screening it would be totally different story...but he is not taking Jake off so its a moot point

Kappy for Horny @50% who says no

Caps PP has always just automatically worked because of Ovechkin. That threat is just always there. If you overplay him, the rest of the guys have time to make plays and Oshie, Carlson, and Backstrom (when healthy) can still burn you. And Carlson in particular has a bomb so Ovie isn't the only threat there.

The problem with our PP is everyone knows Sid isn't gonna shoot, and that Letang isn't gonna shoot. So just play Malkin tight and all of our one-timer options are gone. The only thing you really have to worry about with our pp is leaving a lot of east-west space open in the box as we do have guys who can make those plays but if you just let us pass it around on the perimeter we'll do it until we inevitably turn it over.

 

[vodeni]

Sully checking these boards again...L2 almost 2 minutes more than other three lines

 

[Andy99]

Kappy for Horny @50% who says no

Probably FLA who has to take on an additional year of Kappy’s crappy contract

 

[K Fleur]

After Lemieux; Ovechkin is the best power play player I’ve ever seen.

Caps powerplay is always gonna look easier than ours because of just that.

 

[dogthateats]

I wondered the same haha

This wasn’t a blast by Ovie though..it was a flubbed shot by another player, goalie gave up a rebound and Ovie just happened to be on that side lol

 

[K Fleur]

I‘m glad the Pens gave a healthy scratch level player multiple millions of dollars over multiple years.

it helps when you have a good set up QB

I'm just commenting in general on how the Caps PP works. Ignore Ovie and he burns you. Play him tight and then other things open up. It's kinda win/win for them. Always been a very tough PP to deal with.

Ours should be that given the talent on it but welp

It's crazy that Letang still can't put the puck in Malkin's wheelhouse.
