87 over a point per. Yezzir.

Glad to see the Pens playing better as of late. Still dead last in the league in GA. This infuriates me because defense is fixable, a philosophy.

But whatever, they won.

Hey, I hate to bitch, but Accari and Nieto played twice the minutes of DOC and Beauvillier only played 5 minutes.

Beauvillier taking that cross-checking penalty like 8 seconds after the Pens tied is probably the end for him. Never mind that if Acciari or Nieto had done it, it would be praised as gritty leadership, but either way, he barely touched the ice after that. Maybe it'll get Pool party back in for Saturday.

Two bad teams trying really hard to outbad each other, it was fitting that the game ended in a comedy of errors fashion. I lost count of dumb turnovers and weak clears, especially by the Pens. But of course, we were carried by our top line while the Predators found a way to lose. We sure tried to lose too by practically begging for a shortie in the final minutes of regulation, among other things. And that Geno drop pass seconds before the winner... talk about a mood swing from a literal facepalm to "Yay, we scored!" moments later.

Seems like we are finally allowing EK65 to do his thing in attack.... a pre-Christmas miracle! Another miracle is Sullivan tolerating the rookie mistakes that Pickering is inevitably making rather than move him down the pairings.

Only six Penguins registered shots, pretty crazy stat in a game where we scored 5 on one of the best goalies in the league. And the Preds have only 1.95 expected goals at 5 on 5 which seems way too low considering our shambolic defending.

See what happens when you threaten them about being "Mid", they are only Mid every other game.

When you beat really bad teams it means you're secretly really good.

Everybody knows that.
