Dug a hole in the first that they couldn't come back from. Can't win them all.

You could see Crosby really wanted this one too.

You can't win them all

Unless you're Vegas, for some fcking reason

Bad team effort. McDrai good when together. Hyman with heart and hustle. No line otherwise had much going. Good for Nuge to get a goal. Arvy and Podz fought it unusually for their standards so far. Janmark might need to sit one out, or Perry if he's nursing an injury. D core should probably feature less Joshes (did he see the ice in the second and third), but he was just one of many poor performances. Skinner probably wants a couple back.

Evan Bouchard fighting the Phil Housley accusations real hard right now.
 
Meh probably were the better team after the 5-1 goal but alas

Skinner not great but neither was anybody really until it was out of reach
 
Will give Skinner a freebie because he’s been great lately. If we pulled him after 3-0 we might have won this though.

If anyone says Skinner had no chance on any of those goals, you must not have watched Nedel steal this one.

Goals saved above expected:
Nedeljkovic 1.38, Skinner -2.46.
 
That better have been fatigue. Normally I would shred the team for that, but I can’t help but wonder if this is when the gas ran out with the travel and volume of games. We got outworked again badly in the third again, and I feel like that’s fatigue and I would almost never issue that excuse.

Having said that - know who finds a way to not float into games against bad teams even when tired? Vegas. Games like this and games like the Ducks a week ago and games like we played in Montreal and Columbus this year are why we never win the division if anyone is wondering. Our disrespect for opponents that we deem not worthy of our presence ultimately just costs us.
 
Sure am glad I’m not the poster who made a dozen posts mocking the Pens as ‘the worst team in the league’, and calling for Crosby to retire already. Talk about embarrassing yourself.
 
I love the clean look of the board and with less features loads immediately, no funky problems the other was having. I'd take less features for a board that runs flawlessly. The last few mths of the last build was pretty glitzing.

Nothing much to say about the game. Oilers outplayed Pens for two periods, had more HDSC, more shots, more everything but we got goalied again.

Skinner couldn't keep us in it for one period. Nedz kept the Pens in it for final two periods where we were just dominating. He made 10 stops of a quality that we just didn't get.

Team can't play perfect 60 every night. But this is what happens when they don't.

Still need a goalie.
