    They have looked good except for a lack of screens on the opposite Goalie. They're due for a Big game and let it be Saturday. Let's Open up the Eyes of the Puck and find the back of the net 🥅… DK Great Show.

    I did some math yesterday.
    Jarry has played 7/9 games, and has a 2-5 record within those games. Multiplying his stats by 9, which is 63 games Jarry's stats would be the following.

    63 GP
    18-45
    162 goals allowed
    18 shutouts.

    Yes this is silly and certainly not going to happen, but I just thought some of y'all would appreciate this math.

    Graves is fine and a good player. The only patience needed is of this team which is and has been progressively wearing thinner and thinner.

    You're not helping your argument of things will be fine when you need 90+ shot attempts to net 3 goals and are somehow geeked about that. So far this season the Pens have a 8.1 shooting percentage, last season it was 9.3 (25th in the league), so not much better and yet they still missed the playoffs. The only team to make the playoffs with a worse S% was the Hurricanes, but they are built on defense, led the league in shots against, and had one out of every 9 games for them being a shutout. The Ducks game had the Penguins shooting at 3.15 percent which is almost impossible even for blind hockey, but that said; 95 shots a game is unsustainable, so people saying the 95 shots don't matter has more merit than you want to concede. What ultimately matters is the ones that go in and what matters more than quantity is a much better shooting percentage so that when you are only able to have 34 shot attempts per game (like they averaged last season), they can score more than 1 goal a game. This season so far, just like last season, they just can't finish.

    I know Sullivan was good for a while, but with how this league changes coaches so often, the other teams just learned how the Pens play & handle different situations because it's stayed the same for a long time now? It seems like the teams just know how to block the shots we put up & how to attack our defense, like they've seen it a thousand times.
