Congrats to JSD.
Simon's laser shot on the first goal though was fire!

Wife wants to watch her Dukies, I'll have to change the game. Ugh...
Super excited about our goalie situation. Great game tonight. Have to wonder when Sid gets #400
Yeah they need someone they can count on to fill in or take over If need be....big plus.
No Reeves. Did the team look a little quicker? Not that Reeves is quicksand, but there seemed some hop in their skating on all four lines. Like seeing the young guys contribute. Got to keep riding DeSmith. He looks pretty decent out there. I'm not feeling Hunwick and still think Ian Cole is better.
DeSmith has a hot hand ! He's playing better than I ever expected.
Ayep. I think he looks better than Jarry, who crawls around on his knees too much and can't ever move and find the puck behind the net
Reaves is a waste of a roster spot. Gave up a 1st round pick and Sudqvist for a guy that plays 6-7 minutes a game. Stupid.
Reaves has had his moments this year. He can change the flow of the game. The 4th line has saved the Pens a few times. Reaves does get the puck out of the corners. I agree that we gave up too much. It was a first round pick but the Pens dropped only 20 slots, 31 to 51. Sudqvist was a nothing, he never developed and hasn't done much for the Blues either. I would have traded Sudqvist even up.
Pens are rumored to be interested in trading for JG Pageau. Interesting. Gonna have to give up something to get him. Ian Cole perhaps? Still think trading Cole is a bad idea, especially when your team is starved for competent defense.
I like Cole. Gritty guy and does a heck of a job blocking shots. If they don't trade him he will be a Cap causality. I'd like to see the Pen's hold onto him.
I think one of our Goaltenders are going to be moved by the deadline. Maybe a package with Cole ?
I honestly can't see them trading one of the young goalies. Both Jarry and Murray will be needed down the stretch and in the PO. A two-headed monster is better than riding one guy. DeSmith is playing well, but how long will that last? I'd trade Hunwick and keep Cole, but Sully doesn't like Cole, for some reason. A move or two will be coming. GMJR is waiting for the right one.
