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...

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...

Fuck you Montreal for last night but I will be cheering you on tonight. Ditto to the Flyers. Groundhog day. Fuckin' Habs blow a 3-goal lead, and two goal in last half of 3rd. I would've been a bit optimistic heading into tonight where Flyers, at home, are still alive for a playoff spot. Just have t...

Ditto to the Flyers.

Groundhog day.

Sid bought that one. The Greats buy discount.

The Pens had no idea how to setup on the DZ FO a few seconds ago(13 minutes to go) and lost the draw and gave up a good scoring g chance. HTF does that happ3n?

Karlsson has been really good tonight.

Great response Smith

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. If that one was called strictly in the NHL then goals would be reversed on a regular basis night in and night out in the NHL. Trottier asked if that had been Ned in net would...

Preds 20-4-3 since late February.

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 ...

Adding to this, why are cancer rates skyrocketing (statistically) among younger people? Wouldn't be at all surprised if it turns out forever chemicals and things like microplastics enter the reasons. Possibly. But a simpler explanation might be all the processed foods and preservatives in what we e...

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. ...

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'...

Another goal surrendered by the top line.
I don't give a fuck how they drive play, they have been terrible in the most important part of the ic3

Top line again

If the Pens have a great period in them this is the one

I love prime numbers

3-2

Nice goal great pass 17 but the Pens were awful/ terrible that entire period until the go ahead. Wings owned their asses.

makes up for his blunder

...then right back into the doghouse for playing picklestabber instead of bodying up his guy.

Yup

At least DOC battled on the play until the end. Top line on the ice for both Wings goals.

FIgures

Last second goal to end the period.
Deflated.

Letang getting cute in his own end. Caught on a long shift no one covered the net.

Hopefully, not very. Hopefully lsles lose at MSG on Saturday. Otherwise, their other two are very winnable. And caps toughest two are at home. And…that’s assuming pens win out, or at least go 3-0-1. I have a bone to pick with Washington. There are 5 teams still in contention: Pittsburgh, NYI, Phill...

Rooting for which teams tonight?

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

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.

The one flaw in Sid's game. His choice of skates. Doesn't use what the rest of the league uses. Likes old school skates.

I might be off base here but Sully doesn't like to push the envelope in OT. Plays it safe.

I just hate how Eller and O’Connor were the only forwards to see ice time there in OT. Maybe one other but if you miss the playoffs by a hair don’t you want someone named Crosby on the ice ASAP? Sully has been doing such since the Winter thaw and before. The Pens are a terrible OT team, talent asid...
