After 2 games, the Pens are 2-0 and averaging 5.5 goals per game. Sid has been on fire scoring 3 goals and registering 3 assists for 6 points in those 2 games. Dup, Geno, & Hornqvist also have 4 points each in those 2 games.
Our defense needs to get better however, gave up a lot of goals (including a hat trick to Corey Perry) against the Ducks, and looked lethargic at times against the Maple Leafs. Still tho, gotta be happy the way the Pens have played so far under a new coach, new system, and with a lot of new faces.
Here's the Pens' schedule this week (2 home games)...
October 16th: vs Dallas Stars (0-1-1): played well against the Chicago Blackhawks in a shootout loss, but then got creamed by the Nashville Predators the 2nd game. Look out for guys like Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, Jason Spezza, etc who are all due to break out this season.
October 18th: vs New York Islanders (2-0-0): have looked really good in their 2 games against the Carolina Hurricanes. Lot of talent on this team this year with John Tavares, Kyle Okposo, Brock Nelson, Mikhail Grabovski, Nikolai Kulemin, & Johnny Boychuk (who leads all NHL dmen with 5 points). They also got goaltending with Jaroslav Halak. I expect this to be a very good game.
Hopefully the Pens could continue their scoring tear and tighten up on defense. Will be tough, going up against 2 teams with a lot of good young talent.
