Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Dallas is in a must win situation now. Don't want to go to Vegas down 0-2 after losing home ice. McDavid with 5 assists in one game. Avalanche scored 12 goals in 2 games against the team that gave up the fewest regular season goals. Turned off the Isle/Cane game after it went 3-0. Big mistake. I jus...

Pens Off Season

Might as well have a place to post/discuss the happenings now that golf season is underway. The first news is the retirement of BFJC. Had a great career. Hell of a player. Hex did this team a bad by extending him but that is water under the bridge. Carter said is going to be a 'dad' for the foreseea...

Re: Tuesday 4-16 games for the Pens playoff hopes thread

What really killed them was how poorly they’ve played 3 on 3 OT. 18 games went to OT and only 6 of them did they collect 2 points. IDK, starting 3 on 3 OT without either of your two best players on the ice seems like a good strategy. Lars Eller to start OTs and them moving away from feeding Malkin'...

What really killed them was how poorly they’ve played 3 on 3 OT. 18 games went to OT and only 6 of them did they collect 2 points. This has been discussed here for the past few weeks. Big issue and if it is true that they don't really practice 3 on 3 then that is another mark against the HC. 12 sho...

This team needs all the goals it can get and the three blind mice took away 2 of them. The second call was complete bullshit.

Re: Pens vs Bruins (4/13/24)

Two things stood out to me in that period. One good, one not so. On PP the Pens are running 65 at the top middle point(normal) with a floating point player to either side. There is no gap between them and no depth so Boston is pressuring the player with the puck. From that you saw the Pens toss the ...

Re: Pens vs Bruins (4/13/24)

I’m not normally a fan of leagues manipulating schedules for ratings, but backloading schedules with mostly divisional games is one my favorite trends in sports right now. It basically makes the playoffs start a few weeks sooner. It’s extending the playoffs without actually extending the playoffs. ...

Re: Pens vs Red Wings (4/11/24)

Better tighten up the defensive game. Last night the Pens got sucked into the kind of game Detroit wants to play. Luckily it didn't come back to bit them in the ass but against a team like Boston(tomorrow) if they are loose in their DZ it will get ugly. Top line was on the ice for 4 of 5 of Detroit'...

Certainly the Rangers over the Islanders but no idea about Washington/Detroit. A tie after regulation is the worst case scenario, right?

Re: Pens v. Leafs

Pens are 3-9 in OT this year. Oddly Crosby has been on the ice for 5 of those losses. Supposedly they don't practice it very often. Not enough speed on the roster to shine 3 on 3.
