I’m going to go with it was an anomaly. Hate to say it but I would be lying if I said otherwise. I want to be wrong but this team has not built on anything in two seasons now.

I mean, that SHOULD be a big win to build off of, right? A huge regulation 2 points, I HOPE we can.

Who knows with this team? With the next game less than 24 hours later I don't have my hopes up.

Maybe they pulled Bailey for trade related reasons???

Nah, he’s supposedly hurt. Team makes a great comeback literally from the minute he’s off the ice. Lol

Ok, so either chiefs or Vukota were at the game tonight.

Agree.
They got dominated through most of this game yet found a way. That doesn't erase the fact that they're terrible in their own zone and slooooooow

They came back and won without giving the Pens any points. That’s pretty awesome but if the Pens got even average goaltending in that game we would’ve lost by at least two.

Desmith is terrible.

Tried to watch driving and lost the 2nd period, seemed like a great game as I caught the last 6 minutes

Have to give both Lee and Nelson a ton of credit. They led yesterday. Nelson on a 12 game point streak trying to pull this team across the finish line. Need Horvat and Barzal to have big games today along with everyone else. Damn it. This team has me interested again.

Gonna be a much tougher go tonight.

I’d even settle for a loser point, so long as Pittsburgh and Washington poop the bed.

I would not be disappointed with a point. Pens and Caps don’t exactly have easy matchups either. I believe ovechkin will still be out as well.

Big character win as many said on here.
If and that’s a big if, they can play the way they did in the third period consistently then they have a very good chance to make the POs. Problem is they just lack consistency under Lane imho. I hope this gives the team a kick in the ass and they start a nice run of wins. Today will be a good test. Tough game to win, however I want to see the effort we saw in the third.

Even without Barry, I did not think the defense would be like this. I did not see the entire game, but Aho looked bad.

The defense is atrocious. Mayfield and Romanov are other level bad.
