The captain can't be taking frustration penalties and then expecting some of these other meat heads not to.

Yep, I hope that will become reviewable play soon. Glad it's not tonight though.

He's made some plays with his speed the past few weeks, but the puck has rolled off his stick like 5 times in this game. He's having a rough game for sure.

the last couple of games he has missed great oppurtunities... I understand they used him on 1st line bc his speed was equivalent to dupes but i guess its bc they share the same hands as well

what a great line glass adams sid

That's a nice shot. Trouba missed the play. Can't give that room.

Martin is such a difference maker at both ends of the rink.

Everytime I watch Winnipeg play, I shake my head. There is some pretty good talent on that roster. Trouba, Enstrom, Bogo are pretty good Dmen and Montoya is a solid backup goalie. They aren't that far off.

Yup. Bennett really looks good on Sid's line too. Let's not break anymore players.

That'll do it. Keep it going. Some positives to take out of it. Martin especially.

Thank God he's back.

I had a feeling Zach Redmond would get his first of the year for the Jets too. This game had that type of feel.

So... The Flyers lose tonight and are only one point ahead of the wings and two points in front of the jackets. Anyone want to bet who the Pens will play?

They can only play the Flyers if the Jackets pass them...I'm thinking its going to be the Wings.

It was better, because #5 wasn't on the ice playing defense.

Amen to that.

However, Dan should think about giving Maatta a couple of these upcoming games off. Whether it's Engo or Despres. Kid looks like he's barely hanging on at times.

Great to see Paul Mart back on the ice. It was night and day on the breakout and I was super psyched to see 2 actual NHL defensemen on the Pens power play at the same time. Martin & Niskanen on the top unit together only got like 10 seconds because of Martin's goal, but still... I loved seeing 2 actual defensemen on the ice together that play similar styles.
