We win this in regulation and we are going to the tournament.
Karlsson sucks he was scoreless and pointless in lime 20+ games and always taking penalties.. and let jarry walk because he's been trash Ned's better.
Pens mentality towards this game is a game 7 Stanly Cup game!!! Get a winner and see where this "seasons ride" takes all of us in Pens Nation!! 👍🏻🤙🏻👌🏻
Ride Ned to the end of the season. Period. Jarry has had years to choke. Lets see what Ned's got.
I love finding corelations in nonsense!
To add to the Pirates hypothesis; in the last 6 games that the Penguins and Panthers have played on the same night, their W/L have been opposite. The only Panthers win in their last 6 games was March 30th, when the Penguins lost to the Jackets.
R Smith’s remaining skill is only on the rush and pk. And he was demoted to third 3rd line last year and remained there. No business being on Pens L1. Can’t cycle at all. Having him on 71’s line was a gamble and it only worked for a few games.
Can he play on 4th line? That way his minutes are low and he can thrive on pk. Idk. I’m grasping at straws
Three certainties in life…death….taxes…and the Pens and Caps in the spring!
Your monumental matchup part was good. And then you had a section on Reilly Smith. Bye Felecia!
Smith and Graves shouldnt see the ice again this year
This is a must win. No doubt about it. They have given themselves no margin for error. They cant win it in OT either. It must be a regulation win.
Accomplishments in range: Geno is 6 goals from 500, is 6 assists from 800, and is 12 points from 1,300. Sid is 3 assists shy of 1,000 and is 4 points from tying esposito for 10th all time in points. Sid is 1 goal away from 40 goals this season. Would only be his 3rd time hitting the 40 goal mark. The other 2 seasons were 2009 and 2016.
