  1. hnglmkrnglbrry

    Did the Russian line get broken up or did I miss something?

  2. Fabresque_

    Wtf is Bean doing. You’re supposed to be fucking shit not one of our best players 😭😭😭

  3. What a wonderful play, usually we’re quite dead in the first, or we’re really good and die later, hopefully we can keep our flow decent and finish the game, under a bit of pressure but not too bad.

  4. Fabresque_

    I know it’s 4 minutes but can’t we deny it? We’re so bad on the PP.

  5. I’m not asking for a lot, just please convert on a 4 minute PP

  6. Dick_O_The_North

    Good read by Boqy telling Kent to get in there for the one time opportunity off the faceoff

  7. FormerlyBeautiful

    My section has all the little kids, and they’re hilarious.

  8. hnglmkrnglbrry

    Fantilli clearly says, “Fuck that noise,” and just skates the puck in on the powerplay instead of dropping it back and (gasp!) actually gains the zone.

  9. Tune in just to hear “2 shots on the 4 minute Powerplay”, sounds about right. At least we’re up, I guess?

  10. I like Olivier’s energy, been kinda missing him from the last few games I’ve seen without him.

  11. iamelloyello

    I’m sure one time in the next 5-10 years we will have an okay powerplay

  12. Fabresque_

    Olivier is gonna fight someone before this one ends lel

  13. sixinchitalian

    I bet that’s not even in the top 5 quickest PP goals against in team history

  14. LostMonster0

    Wait. Are you allowed to score with an extra person on the ice? I thought you were only allowed to fumble it around the ice the whole time…

  15. Fabresque_

    So we have a 4 minute powerplay and can barely get a fucking shot strung together, but they can score 4 SECONDS within their first one?!

    God fucking bless.

  16. lifeandhowtoliveit

    The people wearing the penguins jerseys to a jackets/wild game disgust me

  17. Grew into that period and then promptly fell out of it again

  18. We looked way worse against Philly and came back to win. Feeling good about tonight.

  19. Fabresque_

    HOLY FUCK MARCHY TO SILLI THIS LINE IS COOKING

  20. What a play by Marchenko and what a finish, lets go boys.

  21. mickeyhause

    I think Silli has earned the Cole Train title, black or not

  22. Fabresque_

    That pass omg I can’t contain my EXCITEMENT IM ABOUT TO BUST

  23. millysoilly

    Jesus Christ Marchy is magical. Good finish Cole!
