Right. His first games were rough because he couldn't skate. Way better now.

No way to know if they sat him because of his play or because he was having some issue with the surgically repaired hip. He's mostly looked like a solid bottom-6 NHLer when in there.

Looking good right now but somehow 2 goal leads mean nothing to the Pens

Sid having a hell of a game. Another great pass by Puusty.

This game is insane! What a goal! Ned has some kinda force field up

I want the better draft pick, but I cant argue with the Captain putting on a show in front of his buddy, MacKinnon.

Definitely, plus time for Sid to get a hatty too. 7-6 Avs.

Blood in the water now. Pens aren't winning this. We've seen this game at least 10 times this year.

PP failure where the best chance went to the Avs....check.

Penguins only get 1 point after a 4-0 lead and Crosby gets 4 points.

Mission Accomplished.

Jesus.

Hahaha

Sid was +4 through the first 36 mins, and ended up even. Pens 2024 hockey.

This game was perfect outside of losing in reg lol

That's the script of the season right there lol.

PP could have made it a 2 goal lead in the 3rd and the best chance went to the Avs. Then they proceed to leak oil the rest of the period until they lose.

Haha this is all look forward to. Crosby gets points and we lose. Kind of disappointed they got a point.

New DEPTHS of FUTILITY Time for a lot of changes BURN IT DOWN

So Crosby needs 9 points in 12 games to hit his 1 PPG streak. Certainly feel a lot better about that than the 13 points in 13 games he needed coming in.

My other random thought about these last few games... I really like Michael Bunting and he's exactly what we've been asking for since Horny left.

Otherwise, good goaltending masked a lot of these problems in the 1st half. Credit to Ned and Jarry, but they were always outperforming. Sooner or later they were going to come back down to earth and reveal just how bad this team is defensively.
