GDT: The Penguin(s) vs. The Dynamic Duo: Game 8 - Pittsburg @ Edmonton 7 PM - SN1

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Emberson has played well tonight, might win out as 3RD.

Also Janmark has been excellent on the forechek tonight

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Lots of really solid forward backtrack support in this game. Detail work in helping to clean up the slot. Skinner's had really good support in front of him. And he's reciprocated making big stops on poor decisions.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

A team with Malkin, Crosby, and Karlsson should be dominant.

 

[rboomercat90]

What exactly is the Dubas plan in Pittsburgh? They look like a lottery team and most of their core is signed for years.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Ekholm is doing good for daddy in his pool today

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Dare I say it. Skinner has been very good 2 games in a row now...

The work ethic in all the areas has been much higher tonight, they look like that really good team I was expecting to see more often

easy Skinner, trying to get on the Sportsnet top 10 nearly walking half Pens team on that last rush.

Which makes it more outrageous that earlier in the week someone suggested our bottom 6 was still trash.

My guy, jeffery skinner is your 3LW. We've probably never had that calibre of player there.

 

[Ibanez]

Turning this thing around after tonight

Get Hyman a goal and all will be well

He's either really good or really bad. No in between.

They are a weird team. Look like absolute dog sh**. Signed aging stars for a retirement tour. They are going absolutely nowhere

A team with Malkin, Crosby, and Karlsson should be dominant.

All three are good 10 yrs past their prime.

Father time is creeping up

 

[Garbo Man]

All three are good 10 yrs past their prime.

Crosby is still a 90 point 40 goal scorer though

 

[oobga]

Good try Hyman.

[OfCorsiDid]

definetly the most complete game they've played so far, but every game this season they've shown this style of game. the luck is just evening out now and Skinner seems to have found his mojo.

 

[LTIR]

Good try Hyman.

Try high blocker perhaps!

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Makes another strong play. Also Erik Karlsson is looking like he's close to done.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

After seeing EK65 in SJ, I thought he was going to just tear it up in PITT

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

They've worked hard in all zones. Even heavily tilting the ice Skinner's made some big saves when tested. And much greater detail in all zones. Nice to see the work rate pay off.

Happy for Arvy. Didn't think he was as bad as portrayed but Line 2 clicked in tonight and drove this result.

 

[McTedi]

All three are good 10 yrs past their prime.

Crosby could likely get 100 pts on a better team

 

[Cloned]

Pens are completely cooked. You want to see what a slow team looks like lol.

Agreed, but I can’t decide if Pit is just awful as well.
