Puusty extended 2 more years. Yay!
Sound move. Much more excited about this extension then Poulins.

I know, the Pens Are still invested in the former 1 pick.

Re: Pens Off Season

If it’s going to work with Karlson, they need to move him to PP2, where he can shoot the puck with impunity while the other 4 guys crowd the bet and look for rebounds/tips. Let PP1 go back to Letang at the point, feeding either Malkin one timers or feeding tic tac toe with Crosby. Karlsson isn’t a ...

Re: Pens Off Season

Am I alone in thinking the price paid for Karlsson makes it a loser trade? Nathan Legare, Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith, Mikael Granlund, Jan Ruuta and the No. 14 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft for Karlsson. I'll betcha the Pens' power play and GA would have been better with Petry and the #14 pick ...

Re: Pens Off Season

Lottery draft tonight. Odds are we are losing our first rounder this year. Would be great to have a shot at Macklin Celebrini. If you haven't seen his highlights go check them out. He is a wickedly good player. I think is some ways he is better than Bedard. Now go watch Chicago land him. One more th...

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

I've watched the condensed version of just about every playoff game so far. the net round is going to be pretty interesting, because there was some dead weight in the first round but those teams are getting shown the door. Guentel's return to PIT is inevitable if he doesn't elevate his play with Ca...

Where the fuck have the puckheads gone? The Bruins didn't show up last night. Just didn't want to play which is sad when you consider what those chumps in the seats paid to watch them flop around. No Matthews either. It looks like the Avalanche are not going to need top end goaltending the way they ...

In a million years, I could never see Tomlin going OL the first two picks , let alone OL the first round in both drafts. That's not Tomlin's style nor ever has been. They took OL back to back in 2012. They also spent 4/6 picks in Rounds 1 & 2 OL between 2010-2012 (Pouncey, Gilbert, Decastro, Adams)...

Just wanted to point out this is the player we got with the trade for Kenny Pickett. Would rather have a LB with no ACL than a QB with no heart or balls. Great trade! KP, in his short Steeler stint, mastered falling into the fetal position at the first hint of pressure. Great swing for the fence pi...

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'...

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 ...

Better tighten up the defensive game. Last night the Pens got sucked into the kind of game Detroit wants to play.
