It's just fun to have these kind of conversations again. These new vibes and hopes are also exactly what Crosby/Malkin/Letang deserve entering their last seasons.
I feel like we almost always control the middles of periods but we get caught up at starts and ends and would like to see us flip the table in that area. Idk where we ranked last year in period start/finish vs middle performances and vs leaguewide but it seems like a problem we really need to figure out the answer for. Do guys get too tight to the gameplan to start and need to flow into it more or do they need to just overwhelm more to set tones? I just know that area is really important and it can be different for different groups
I want to see Carter gone and the bottom six be a mix of Eller, Acciari, Pitlik, O’Conner, Nieto, Nylander, Johnson and Hinostroza
DK: "healthy" is key for this "experienced" team, for the Core + Karlsson and Jarry.
Thanks DK – Listening this sent both hope and a cautionary warning about having pieces and the need for everything to "gel." It is an intangible and what exactly is it? Do we need an "energy" piece or a young player (what about Nylander) – as your commentary suggested? Could there even be some freshness from behind the bench. Intangibles are called just that and it may take some time for everything to come together.
spot on. dubas gets y'all excited and anyone who assessed the team realistically is blamed for not being a real fan but then truth hits come playoff time.
Whats this i hear that thomas tattar..may want to come hear ?
As excited as I am that we got EK and the upside that I believe he brings, I agree they’ll likely need more. My biggest fear is goal tending will be what holds the penguins back from a serious run this year.
I agree with you DK. I do believe that the team as a whole is better. My concern has been/still is……Jarry. I'm NOT comfortable with the goaltending. Could very well be the Pens aquilles heel?? Time will tell.
same lunacy dubas did in toronto.
murray. 😂

mrazek😂😂😂😂
sparks?😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Mckelheinny. bye bye.
freddy? who needs ya?
Hey DK, love the content. Question, how much of a chance do the pens have of getting Tatar and do you think he's worth getting?
Not a contender? Are you nuts? They just added a hundred point player to their roster! You dont think thatll pay important dividends?😂
So……is the 4th line still a bunch of plugs??? Then nothing will change smh
