Wife is at a baby shower and I'm trying to corral a pair of toddlers.

Go Pens

Go Pens
Hellions or just rambunctious? Are you the third kid with them?



As to hockey, it was about 3 games ago that Sully went to back to Crosby taking FOs on the PP. Still waiting why such a big change early in the season.

The Kracken are terrible on the PK but the Pens looked very bad on the PP. Nearly gave up an odd break and never established time in the OZ.

I'm not sure what to make after 40 minutes.
The Pens with the better play but Jones has been good.
Offensively the Pens are getting it done but...overall team defense still has too many breakdowns.
Letang is either hit or miss so far and his mistakes have been very apparent. He looks slower so I'm hoping he is playing thru injury.
Completely unimpressed with Rutta. Bad fit.

I like the play of POJ and Poebling so far for such young players. They make a mistake and don't seem to let it linger into their next shift.

0-3 on the PP and Im hoping it doesn't come back to bite the team in the ass.

Nice kill only to see a break go the Kraken way.
1-2

Angry Sid
Leads to a tie though he won't be on the stat sheet, maybe?

Dumb, shitty hockey. Looks like the football team.

Getting close to being disinterested in the Pens.

They are old and fucking terrible.

And sure, fire Sullivan, who gives a shit at this point.

This team is fucked.
Not sure why but they have found every way to lose the past half month.

Oh yeah, 2 more goals allowed in the 3rd period.

Clutch, they ain't.

I'm ever the optimist, so i won't say this team is fucked....yet. But massive changes are needed.

Teddy Blueger can't get healthy fast enough.
Break up the Dumo/Letang pairing for the love of all that is Holy. They are a train wreck.

They are good enough to make a playoff run but it seems to me that Sully is slow to make the necessary changes.
He is cutting Kaps minutes but he should take a seat.
Dumo needs to get ass splinters as well.

I will say it again, I like what I have seen from POJ and Poebling.
