GDT: Rags In The House @ 15.00 EST

[Clare2904]

(33-13-5) @ (31-14-8)

ABC / ESPN+ / SN / NHL Live

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sooooo, moving on from Thursday night when I checked out after 20 minutes, and I'm still certain I lasted longer than the players!

Rags have 1 OT loss and 5 wins in their last 6 games
We have 2 wins, 1 OT win and 3 losses in the same timeframe

Rags have also overtaken us in the Metro and lead us by a single point along with having two games in hand over us.

I have zero confidence in any changes happening, unless forced by injury. PO Joseph has been recalled as Matheson is now kaput.

We still need someone for the next GDT and I've updated the list with the games in March.

Go Pens, don't suck donkey **** like the last 3 games please !

Shesterkin has been pretty bad against us so far in his career. Hoping that continues.

 

[Ryder71]

Gotta manage the puck better, start on time and play sound brand of hockey. Oh and win the damn game!

 

[Andy99]

Afternoon game, young goalie who hasn’t seen us this year, coach whose brilliant idea to get things moving in the right direction is to bench a fourth line player — what could go wrong?

 

[Pens x]

Will Mikey Bylsma continue to play chess and bench his ECHL forward in the third period and sit the goalie after it’s 5-1 for his big in game adjustments again?

I’m worried they abuse us physically. I suspect sleepy making the team even less physical this summer will be a glaring issue in this game.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Hard to take hockey too seriously at the moment.

Not feeling well physically and going to sort of a dark place mentally, with what's going on in the world.

Normally I'd be excited for this matchup but I can't generate the energy right now.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Let's Go Pens!

Where do you live? Hopefully the game is at least a distraction for a couple of hours for you.

 

[TooManyHumans]

I don't see this going well. They'll probably goon it up too. Ugh.

 

[Pens x]

How many penguins get injured today and nothing will be done about it? Games like today is why Burke preached we were going to get more physical over the summer. The only issue is that they failed miserably in getting more physical - somehow getting even less physical, which is impressive.

 

[Rakell67]

I predict a 3-2 win, but injuries take their toll since Pens have very little physicality and that they do have isn't very effective. Pens play their system, get the win, but get banged up in the process. If things don't change, they will be out in the first round again or limping into the second.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I've got plans to be day drinking with some friends. No clue if the game'll be on at any of the bars. Go Pens!

Also, I hope Pojo plays and does well.

 

[Andy99]

I would like to watch this game, but I think they get stoned by Shesterkin…maybe one goal…I think this will be like a 2-1 or 3-1 game for NYR, who are miles above the Pens defensively…maybe Pens play better than they have been, but still lose…the old Pens’ bones don’t get moving in afternoon games…after they lose, Sully will come out again and praise to high heavens the number of shots and chances the team had but didn’t convert lol (“our analytics looked great!”)…rinse and repeat

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Team is stale. Forwards need a shake-up in the worst way.

 

[Shearypwnskunitz]

One of either Guentzel or Rust needs to move down with Geno. This is really getting ridiculous.

 

[Icarium]

The bookies think the Penguins are the favourites in this game. How?!

I think one team is going to annihilate the other, no sure which team it will be, though.

After the last 3 games you'd think they'd be extra motivated. I'll go with a OT game and flip a coin.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Why would Bjorkqvist get a call up instead of Zohorna?

 

[HandshakeLine]

Well, I hope we get to our game and accept our face punching gracefully as is the Pittsburgh way.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Why would Bjorkqvist get a call up instead of Zohorna?

Because our couch is a mini-Boomer and can’t take any admission of wrongdoing?

I got a good feeling about this one

 

[HandshakeLine]

I had a good feeling about diplomacy too a week ago.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Everything is awful. **** Russia. Arby's exists. Let's Go Pens.

well, I did not been there, seen that before, wash, rinse, repeat,
