2017-2018 Pittsburgh Penguins

CBJ got away with a couple penalties on that. BS goal
 
Not sure we're getting the W tonight.
Liked the effort though.

I can live with this one
 
OT!

Glad I stayed around.
That hit by Olesiak was sweet
 
Sid with the game winner!

Edit: no game winner

Nice to pick up 2 points. I hope that they can find the mojo to keep this going.

Any updates on Rust or Ruedhl? Can't spell the dude's name.
 
Now that felt good !

I kinda wish we played the Blue Jackets every night.

The Pens looked hungry for much of the game. Good effort, Good Win !

No updates as of yet that I saw.
Bob Errey was saying Rust was probably the mid section or his wrist --- ???
Ruhwedal: I'm gonna assume concussion? Don't take me on that. Just speculating.

Hope these rivalry games wake them up. They looked real good last night.
The talent is there. Just gotta stay hungry
 
The Jackets sure bring out the best in the Pens. I thought they were dead in the water after the 4th goal from CBJ. Good to see they kept coming and didn't let up. I think Sid's goal in OT was a good goal, but glad they still got the W in the shootout.

They have some very winnable games coming up. Need to start stacking some wins together. Murray needs to relax and find his game. He has been shaky lately.
 
I think the Holiday roster freeze ends at midnight. After a well earned win and with Letang being injured. I think we will be waiting to see any trade action. Times like this make me glad I'm not JR.

Murray has looked off all season. Very slow reaction.

His facial expressions let off that rock solid attitude though. I think this team will be fine when they finally hit stride.
I still think mid january/February is when they kick it up.

Rotoworld has Rust out indefinitely. Not great news. Didn't know Murray was hurt again ? Shultz is skating but not practicing.

Damn, Murray must be worse than reported earlier.
 
Pedan is no little guy, 6'5" 220. I hope his game has improved since his last NHL shot.

I'm looking forward to seeing Jarry. His play has won me over.

PP is going to be rough,. Maata is a decent QB but after that....

Not really missing Letang but Shultz needs to get healthy.

Jarry is confident. He holds up more and more.
Pedan's size is wow.
Maatta needs to gel with the PP unit, but it's noticeable he's not afraid to blast shots. If he gels in soon, I'd consider him over Shultz at 1st team PP
 
All of a sudden, the Pens are a MASH unit. Going to be tough to get point out of CAR and DET this weekend. Hoping for the best.
 
Pens bias aside, was Hornqvist offside?
Lol.

It was close.
Good shot by Dumo though.
Pens strike first 1-0
 
The Pens disappeared after the 1st period.
Their pic is on a milk carton I think.

Bad game
