How about Eberle against the Pens? What's up with that??

Penguins need to figure out how to clear the front of the net. Opposing players are just standing there completely uncontested.

Yeah it’s a joke. Like I get the first shot getting through after trying to stop the bouncing puck but how is no one within 5 feet of eberle

That stupid little turnover at the blue line lead to that whole sequence.

The team really has an issue with that. They get caught flat footed and watching too often when there's a turnover.

Feel like that guy was tied to the Penguins multiple times with trade rumors when he was with the Oilers.

Good player, good hands and good skater.

It's just so frustrating to watch the Pens go to work sometimes. They gain the zone and have possession, but instead of getting to the net they keep trying to spread out like they're on the PP.

Don’t k ow if this is a part of a new defensive scheme but I’ve noticed a couple times tonite they completely cède the neutral zone and have 4 standing at the blue line. Not liking it.

Was it after a turnover? They seem to go brain dead after a turnover.

And they had the puck right by the net. Just get pucks on the net with those bodies around. I don't get it.

I mean generally every play is after a turnover in one way or another. I don’t recall specifically but I saw them do that 3-4 times I think.

Based on what I'm reading, looks like the Penguins are considering Kevin Weekes and Dee Rizzo for the GM job, both pretty unconventional candidates.

Neither have NHL executive experience with Rizzo being a player agent and Weekes being an analyst.

I'm interested to see how this goes. You can make an argument for either, but still think the Penguins play it safe and go get an established guy who used to be a GM like Hextall.

Pens make it seem like there's a force field in front of other teams nets. Can't get anything through from the point but they keep making the play back there like it's the only thing they know
