2018-19 Penguins and NHL Offseason

I don't think they are that good either. However the Pens make mistakes. And mistakes kill you in the playoffs.

Way to kill my optimistic outlook into a reality post. lol You are correct, though. The Pens do make timely mistakes and can cost them.
 
Read where Mike Lange had/has pneumonia but is back home. He will be on the radio for a few minutes tomorrow during the first intermission. Hope he gets well soon. Listening to the game isn't close to being the same without him.
 
I'm with ya. Not once during the season did I see a cup winning team, but glad they got to the post season. Maybe they gel next year and get it done.

I don't know about that. There have been a few times they have looked pretty damn good. In 16 when they won the first cup there were times when they completely overwhelmed teams and sometimes even toyed with them at the end of games. We maybe have not seen that this year but I can remember a few times they opened up a can of whoop *** on the Caps and even the Lightning.

They can be a cup contender if they put it all together and play complete games with 100 percent effort. WAY too much talent on this team to say they don't have a chance.
 


The core of this group remains. So while I don't expect it this year. I know they can do it. I'm pumped .

Check back with my demeanor in 3 games..haha..

Anyone know why Jarry was called up? Can't find anything on DeSmith being injured, etc.

Everything I have read is that the news media is calling it a strange move, considering both Murray and DeSmith are healthy, and WBS is not officially eliminated from playoff contention. Doesn't make much sense and the Pens haven't said anything.

Also, looking at the schedule, I see the Pens are playing at noon on Sunday. Pretty ****** for their first home playoff game this year. Hope they win both on Long Island, because they have been horrible in early start games.

I was surprised by this as well. Basically throwing in the towel on the WBS playoff hope, not it really mattered. I'm hoping there is not an injury to Murray that we haven't heard about.
 
They both practiced yesterday. Is there maybe something about the timing? Like maybe if they call him up now instead after the start of the playoffs, they can call up an extra skater later? Not sure how any of that stuff works, just trying to understand the move.
 
Doesn't really matter if I'm worried about it or not. Hopefully, the Pens are worried about it.
 
Has anyone heard what time actual puck drop is tonight?

I have something going on early evening and wondered if I needed to set the VCR.

You still have a VCR? I thought I was the only one. I don't use it, but I have one.
 
Don't they get to add extra people to the roster for the playoffs?

Anyway. Good luck tonight boys and girls. I ain't gonna be watching the Pens game.

Gonna watch the first 20-30 minutes of the Tampa game as they are first up @ 7. Good luck to your guys, not that they really need it for this round, anyway.

You got an indoor or outdoor terlet? ;)

LETS GO PENS!!
 
WTF was Dubinski’s problem? Dude got hammered twice, clean hits both, and he goes after Girardi? Gonna be a long series for Columbus, I think.
 
Well, that didn’t take long. Kunhackl to boot.
 
Offside. No doubt. No goal.
 
Thank God. I'm not sure why they're still looking. **** is really clear and beyond any doubt.
