I hope the team can get some momentum going and start playing collectively strong as a team like they did leading up to them clinching the playoff spot with all 4 lines scoring goals. I really want to see Mantha and the Kid get on the score sheet tomorrow.

Well,every game is win or go home. You can't get any more desperate than that.

It could also be the last time the Big 3 all play together. Of course they're going all out to extend that.

Chinakhov, too. He's been invisible.

Agreed. I hope the Pens can string 3 more wins together. It's not like the Flyers are the Hurricanes or Ava. It's definitely doable if the Pens work hard and don't get caught up in the scrums after the whistle has blown

This is probably the first playoff experience for many and I bet several have hit the wall. No matter what happens, this season is a lot better than anyone could have expected.

Yep, I agree. It’s a long season JMM…
But you would think this would affect the flyers more than the penguins being their level of inexperience compared to ours

Hope that not-Stu starts for Pens tonight.

There’s no way does muse start skinner tonight?

I don’t know why he started him in game three to be honest with you..
In fact, I think he’s mismanaged the goaltending situation he should’ve kept with the rotation that he had all season..
It seemed to work OK so why change it?

Swapping poor goaltenders with the Oilers was never gonna be the solution. Both teams are on the brink of golf season.

So far in POs,

Skinner + Jarry = 0 wins, 4 losses

Not-Stu + Not-Tristan = 2 wins, 2 losses

For whatever reason, those two goalies simply are not PO winners. The backup is better for the team, regardless of who the backup is......

Don't forget Muse. This is his first time in the playoffs as a HC too. There is a big difference between playoff hockey and regular season hockey. Even for the HC.

Before the season started, if someone said, the Pens OR Rangers will be in playoffs this year, my money would have been on Sully and the Rangers, no doubt about it.
