Pens gotta start taking any shot they can. They aren't taking enough.

Makes sense. Our puck carrier is only going half speed most of the time too. It’s just not enough to push anyone back.

Credit to the PK though they usually press pretty hard on the forecheck (at least against the Pens) which forces the drop pass earlier. The problem is the lens usually have 2 forwards near the opposite blue line to stretch the PK but the 5th PP guy is never in a position to give the initial puck carrier a safety valve so the PK guy forces the drop pass way ahead of time.

The more Panarin refuses to shoot the better

Pens gotta get something going. They keep getting hemmed in.

Man, the last five minutes have just been awful.

Kessel looking alive... on offense at least

Penguins are not a good team going into the third period being down.

Aaaand the Canes are up 2-0 on NSH.

If the Pens can tie this up and get at least one point out of this game it would be a win.

Islanders down 5-1... Canes won't matter is the Islanders collapse with their poop offense.

First 5 will be telling. Either they’re gonna bring it or pack it in. It’d be a real waste of Murray’s night if it’s the latter.

The Pens haven't been sustaining any real pressure in the Jackets' zone, nor making life hell for Bobs; he's been well protected. They need to get in his face.

So many fumbles tonight

Pens have to stop the dump and chase. They're not good at it even a little.

Time for Simon to go down. This is the least effective that 1st line has been in a long time.

I'm a fan of Simon, but he hasn't looked good tonight.

Not sure he'd fare much better. Pens are starting to miss Rust.

When McCann was there they had 30 points in 5 or something. Sully Just leave shït alone for a bit.

He thinks he’s a genius but he’s really just got a pretty good group of star players that make him look good until he thinks too hard

I think he was trying to beef up the 3rd line thinking the first line can still be good with others.

You can feel CBJ gonna make something happens. Pens are just not swarming.

I think so too. Still kinda dumb to break up that production. Just like last years playoffs.

Well (frank) me

This is the time you put Sid on the PK
