Naw it looked like an innocuous play but hitting a rut like that is one of those classic acl/mcl thingies.

Funny that before the game, someone said they wanted Rakel, and the guy scored almost all the goals tonight. Kicked one in (waived off), kicked in Jack's goal, scored on the wraparound, scored one of the two shootout goals.
One of the best things of this pretty embarrassing win was that it might push the Pens into seller territory.
I could see Rakel or Rust as nice, annoying, playoff-type triggerman/netfront to move someone in our top six down... And not too pricey for the goalscoring...

That defensive play on the 3-on-1 to save a goal was one of the best defensive things I've seen by a forward not named Bratt in a long time.

No win is "pretty embarrassing", especially at this point in the year. Bank points any way you can and get to the break.

No, I'm not serious.
yeah, we're down our 2nd most important player and our (very good) starting goalie limping into an extended layoff.
points are points and points are nice. i'll worry about form around deadline time.

We also played the whole game down our best defensive player. We needed 30 minutes from Luke and 26 from Dillon.

Two points is two points but all the same, I want a move done before the 4 Nations break. The forward depth is nonexistent and it isn't like other teams are sitting on their thumbs right now.

its the point how its decided. the nhl certainly didn't make this change thinking they are going to slow grind out victories in whats supposed to be a super exciting skill show off for an extra point. its slowly gotten worse from the first year and will continue to do so. 3on3 is pretty gimmicky but its exciting at least teams ragging the puck playing keep away willingly is even more gimmicky then the shootout imo

A little under the weather so missed most of this. Very surprised by the shootout win!
For as much as I don't like it, it is pretty exciting.
And I hate it a lot less when we win it.

i hate the shootout as much as everyone else but last night was exciting partly because it went on a while usually its over in 3 rounds or less and you dont build up any excitement. you can't start with a 5 rounds but i think if the shootouts went naturally to say round 7/8 a lot more people would like it.
So another example of bad ice from that game.
Bouncing pucks is one thing, but when guys are falling all over the place that should initiate some measures to get that ice up to standards.
Is there any talk on Pitt's board regarding the ice?

It was definitely the most exciting shootout we've had in some time. Not even just because we won, but to see goals matched in each round, especially from guys like Cotter and Dougie while both goalies made some excellent saves.
Daws definitely has the swagger to be a good shootout goalie. He seems very confident in that situation.

Seigs confirmed dead yet? Will he start as day to day and shift to week to week after a month of day to day?
From the moment that arena opened the terrible ice in Pittsburgh has been an issue. I remember there being some press about at that time, many years ago, and there was even an official effort to improve it. Maybe they did but it's never been resolved to the point that they are not one of the worst surfaces in hockey. When it results, as it did last night in a potentially catastrophic injury to a player who's just skating along the boards, it's scandalous. I don't know why the NHL can't have some minimum standards and a way of enforcing them.
Ice shouldn't be that difficult. Especially in Pitt. Cold temps. No NBA. Does a college play ball there?
