I have a much better feeling about the start of this year than last. I hope they can sustain and stay way ahead of the curve.
JMM?
Wake up….pens win..

Sorry. Had some family stuff to do and missed it. Great to see them continue rolling on.
The defense is much better than we thought it would be and the goaltending is freaking amazing.....Jarry playing like we thought he would have the last few years. Silovs is really good too. I mean, when is the last time they could roll 2 goaltenders and not have a drop off?
And these guys are just a pain in the *** to play against. Always getting to the puck and making it hard for the other teams in transition. That is what I love about this team.
And look what happens when they give up a goal? They just keep grinding, and overwhelm the other team. That 3rd period last night was awesome.

I think "freaking amazing" is a bit of a stretch for the goal tending, but it is definitely doing well enough. Some things need work by those two. Not complaining, except for Silvos and shoot outs, but it's working well so far!
Its freaking amazing compared to what we have had to put up with the last few years. A lot of it is the guys playing better defense in front of them. Amazing how that works lol. What is their combined save percentage right now? It has to be pretty good. Jarry kept them in that game last night the first two periods.
All's well. Thanks. I give you all permission to post the photo and do the Elvis call in my absence.

I agree on the defense. From the looks of things, the blue liners are primarily defense again, not forwards. It makes a difference.
Well the next 5 games coming up will tell us a lot about what exactly we have here. Definitely the toughest stretch so far.

There's a lot of time for things to go sideways for sure. All I know is the more they win now on the front side the less they'll need later to make the playoffs.
Of course we want them playing great hockey later in the year as well. Not backing in and getting swept in round one.
Yeah but after the past few years I'll take it. Opposed to the Stillers, this looks like progress to me.

Hockey has more people playing it who truly love the game. I see more dedicated and a willingness to go above and beyond than pro football.
These guys will play all ****** up in the playoffs just for a shot to win a Stanley Cup,and to not let their teammates down.
The character and sportsmanship is exceptional. The selflessness is admirable to say the least.
I tip my hat to any team who can win 16 games playing at that kind of level.
The Steelers haven't had any champions characteristics in a very,very long time. They have no real leadership on that team. I just don't see anyone who cares enough from coaches to players. There's no push for excellence. No fire.
Anyhow,done ranting..lol.
Let's Go Pens!
