like I said when the matchup was decided, they were the team I didn't want to see them play. maybe the best defensive team, great goaltending, and recently added a top line winger

series is being played way more evenly than people are suggesting... it's far from over IMO

thought you were on Tiny Desk for a second

I think they'll probably leave him in for the experience, but he's offering very little and his ice time is way down

way too soon to be writing obituaries. Skinner has been excellent and the Pens are mostly outplaying them. just need the PP to look better than awful & limit mistakes

personnel adjustments I'd make/consider:

IN: Brazeau, St Ivany
OUT: one of Dewar/Soderblom/Kindel, Clifton

Dewar's lack of speed noticeable, Soderblom lacks too much for top 9 role, Kindel has been depleted for weeks, Clifton is a dummy and is exposed playing a sheltered 11 minutes

I'm not knowledgeable about arena construction but in terms of hockey enjoyment, it was a big miss. had season tix at the old arena and this one and gave them up after the first year

reminded yet again that the atmosphere in that arena is like a mall food court compared to the igloo

that sucked

Philly had nothing that period outside of the goals, need more shots and good bounces

need Sid to step up this period

team full of artists and musicians, the aesthetics were 75% of the experience

I have a solid rotation of random braces to sleep in despite doing nothing of note to earn a single injury, let alone many

even putting aside hockey, I met him at a playground while he was still with the Pens and we chatted for a while as our daughters played. he later donated to my wife's cancer fund, well after leaving pittsburgh. really great guy

I will always root for stat_sam

that Sabres PP zone entry attempt was the worst I've ever seen

a fine choice

love Zucker, glad he's still healthy & very good

Vaclav Varada

based on every ruling in Pens game this year, that's goalie interference

Girard's 18 minutes felt like 30 (derogatory)

I worry about Kindel making it through a full series. he was only noticeable (in limited ice time) getting tossed around

i know it's too early to say but he seems like their best forward already

tough knowing that even an average performane gets the win

guessing Crosby will want Rakell back next game. zero forecheck with Chinakhov there and Sid hates that

feels like Karlsson has had the puck maybe twice all game
