2017/18 Regular Season Game Thread

Shitty D and scoring 5 on 5 is the death knell for this team unless it gets corrected. Get rid of Gonchar...please.

I did like the scoring line from the first game of the year, against Filly...Like seeing some goals from the D, but lordy they suck on D...

Lets keep rolling, and hope other teams catch up to the 44 games the Pens have played, so we can see where they stand!

Letang named to NHL All-Star game roster. Really, really, I think we all agree his play has not been at an all-star level this year, so this selection is baffling to me.

 

[scoutyjones2]

That's freaking unbelievable! Letang an All Star...holy shit...

 

[thedddd]

^ Yeah all based on some belief he is a healthy top defenseman in the league? Sort of like JJ Watt getting 1st team defensive awards for sitting in the press box every year.

Time for the Pens to make their second half move to the playoffs! Lets go Pens! Beat the freaking Wings!

Mmmmmm....wings. Gonna have to make some today!

 

[scoutyjones2]

Nice job boys. Keep it rolling. Taking over the wild card today. Suck it Rag's and Carolina...

In Jarry I trust!!!

How'd Kessel not make the All Star game over Letang or Crosby????

 

[scoutyjones2]

Kiss our ass Rags!!!! How's the view back there???

Jarry, Jarry, Jarry...

We're coming for you Lumbus...

 

[thedddd]

That was another good outing. Sprong and Simon seem to have that chemistry with Crosby.

 

[scoutyjones2]

Tough game tonight. Need this win.

Thoughts and prayers to Matt Murray and his family. So sorry to hear about the passing of his father...

Great win over the Kings and first NHL win for Smith!!!

 

[scoutyjones2]

Gotta lock down these next 4 at home with wins...

 

[scoutyjones2]

Man, the Pens are loaded with goalies. DeSmith and Jarry!

I just wish they had actual defensemen. I cringe whenever Olli is on the ice and handling/shooting the puck... Letang seems to have not been the complete mess he usually is

Disagree on Maatta. He's been by and large very solid this year, perhaps their most consistently solid performer on the blue line. He's been more confident in the offensive zone, in particular.

He may be more confident, but he never hits the freaking net...

Great game...Good for Matt to be back in nets. Well done Penguins.

Lets take the next one against Washington and then the NHL will be on notice that the Pens are back!
