This team just keeps floundering. They look horrible...I'm chalking it up to the 2 Stanley hangover. Crosby, maybe you can find your offensive game again...

Happy Thanksgiving to all..including LeTang!

The total lack of secondary scoring is killing this team. Also the fact Letang is not right and Hagelin's cap hit vs production puts them in a tough spot.

As for the goalies Jarry should stick around to get a 70/30 split if less then he needs to be in the AHL. But that means they need to find a competent backup. Not sure one is easy to get right now?

I say you flip it...Jarry gets the call in net. Seems like with Murray, you need the Pens to score 5 goals to get him a win these days. It's not his fault explicitly, but he has been meh in goal this year. The D and the associated penalty kill is pathetic. Letang headlines that list...

5 on 5 production is a severe issue. Not sure what can be done to rectify that barring some player movement/trades.

My only concern if you play Jarry too much now, with the horrible defense in front of him, will that ruin his development? Murray at least has the experience of getting destroyed with a patchwork D in front of him. If Jarry plays well every 3 to 4 games that will bode well next year and after when that switch can occur. Murray's contract is very favorable to go to that 50/50 split or more come next season.

That was the one great quality MAF had and Murray seems to have taken that on. I say give Jarry some time to learn that trait since he didn't need it in WBS.

It took OT but they got the 2 points. It shouldn’t be that hard against a last place team!

This schedule is maddening. Play Monday then back-to back Fri and Sat. Why not play the Fri game on Wednesday and spread the games out more?????? It's not like they need to compress the schedule so players can play in the Olympics this season. It's almost like they scheduled all the back-to backs before the decision was made to not play in the Olympics and it was never adjusted.

Sabres would have played a back to back then...
Seems they love sticking it to the Pens on back to backs.

Regardless...they need to suck it up and win both. Lets go Jarry and DeSmith.

Heard Pens are shopping Cole...

Yes, they need to win both for a change.

Wonder what they're looking to get back for Cole?

Looking for scoring depth is the rumor!

LOL...They need a strong d man and some of these pukes to start scoring 5 on 5

Man, I wished they'd move Letang....please Santa?

Or start scoring 5 goals/game. Both would be great but that ain’t happening any time soon.
