McCaan subbing has looked good. This is twice now he’s looked good at center filling in
- Thorny87

Could he have the same results playing C on the 3rd line instead of Bjugstad?

That was just what they needed. Get some confidence. Hopefully Geno is good.

I find it hilarious Simon Richards around on the first line all game and Horny ends up getting setup by Sid. That’s just what happens when you suck I guess.

Gotta say Tanev looked great. He does seem to be exactly what we were missing. Lots of hate for the signing this offseason. I’m gonna sit back and watch him become one of my favorite players.

He reminds me of a young speedy Kunitz...

Same, I really didn't like him at center last year, but he's looked great in limited time there so far.

Other thoughts, until they track net front screens tat lead to goals, we aren't measuring Hornqvist's full value. Two of those already plus 2 goals, great start for him.

Worth his contract or not, Tanev is fun to watch and he's creating chances.

Little shout out to Blueger who's played well.

Same. If he keeps bringing that every game his contract is gonna be worth it. People often forget there are other ways to bring value to your team other than scoring.

IMO Hornqvist came back way too early after that concussion last season. Took him at least a month or so to look "right" after he returned. Eventually he looked fine but got zero puck luck. Just like Kessel who went through a long drought last year. Couldn't buy a goal even though their games were the same.

My only fear is the concussion issues. A net front pest is going to draw fire. The Pens will miss his attributes if he gets traded or hurt.

Agree on Tanev. I think he's worth the money, but the term is rough.

My random thought... Kahun looked solid. Looked more confident and skated better.

im sad for this goalie

I know they played last night, but how heartless is Torts to make him finish that game on his debut?

Some goalies are too proud to want to come out. I know Torts asked Luongo if he wanted to come out and ally said hell no

I’m digging the love for Tanev and Chucky. I truly believe that we’ll like them more and more

These D pairs may look better if we give them some time

How about Murrrrr

For anyone who cares: Phil looks good in AZ he’s just not getting quality touches and there’s no goal support from the other lines. Case and point in game 1 only one forward played more than 14 minutes and that was Schmaltz. Any offensive player knows it’s hard to get into a rhythm with kind of ice time

Let’s keep this rolling! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RINO

I saw it. The movie is great. Weather or not I like that version of the joker? Probably not.

Total team effort last night. The good news is, the whipping boys (JJ, Guds, Hornqvist, Tanev & Galchenyuk) led the way. That is just not going to happen every night and it shouldn't. But they do need to play this way to balance the team out.

The bad news is the injuries to Malkin and Bjugstad. Hopefully both are just minor injuries and they return Tuesday.
