The Pens are a frustrating team because we all can see glimpses of how good they can be. Then, for whatever reason, they lose their discipline and it’s just maddening. Sid is having an insane season for someone 36-years-old, and it makes you want to scream at the entire team when they lose their focus. But, in the last few weeks they seem to have found a groove and I can only hope it continues. Let’s Go Pens!
The crazy thing is even with all these bad starts where we have to claw back to force overtime or even just the games we should’ve won such as the buffalo game. If the power play was working the way it should be we would’ve won those games despite sloppy starts or efforts. If this power play operated as it should this team would be up there with the rangers in the metro. Maybe it would work better to take a top guy off the top power play and put him on PP2 and add in someone like a DOC to the first PP. Hell even put Acciari on the top unit and see what happens maybe just throw him in front of the other teams net

The only sport I really care about is hockey, but I have to say, the most fun media product you put out is the Ramon Foster Steelers Show. If you could choose any Penguin, past or present, to do a hockey show with you, who would it be?
I. Do. Not. Care. Carolina is a REAL problem for us. It revealed a big problem. They are bigger and more physical and mark people man-on-man. Until we deal with that, I do not care about a 9-game win streak we ended. We looked woeful against the Canes and I dont think this games outcome changes that issue at all
DK, they have figured it out the problem is they just dont do it for whatever the reason, maybe they dont like boring hockey
"Urgency and attitude." I have beaten this drum early and often. Yet Pens fans are obsessed with pinning the team's problems on individual players. So what is Jarry today? Elite? Hot garbage? Is he a pendulum that swings between the two? Or maybe…just maybe…he's an above average goalie who can be elite when the team actually defends in front of him, but isn't good enough to save the team when it doesn't?
I hate when the fans shit on our goaltending our defence is notoriously bad has been for years. Fleury was left out to dry multiple times in the playoffs , Matt Murray was an elite goaltender and the pens left him out to dry so bad in the 2019 islander series he lost his confidence and never gained it back. It’s what the pens do they play like shit in front of the tendy they’re comfortable with and once their backups in net they start playing 90s devils
If we would quit spotting teams the 1st period, we could be a really good team.
Pens will never win anything they are far too soft, tired of watching our players being hurt and nothing done too stop it .God forbid one day we will throw a real body check in our end zone !
