First 2 periods were great. 3rd....not so much.

The game just seems to get away from them a bit. All the sudden they’re scrambling or caught flat

Move Vinistroza to Sids line

Fücking Powerplay will NEVER score

I'd like to see it. Not sure why when theres injuries that DOC just has a top 6 spot no matter what hahah

This has a been a pretty hard fought battle by both sides. Great pace most of game. Their PP scoring and Pens PP not scoring will probably be the story again haha ffs

Those 3 won’t shoot. You’re doubling down on the problem. On top of that they’re the 3 most blocked shooters in the team.

I don't know what the stats are, but I can't remember a Pens team that consistently has their shots blocked like this. It's insane.

Shut up Rupp. There was nothing good about that game. Same fuking problems. They got trounced as soon as FLA started skating.

When will heads roll? What an embarrassment.

Well. Kyle got his 2 games in Florida to see where we’re at.

✌🏻sully

I bet Hextall is somewhere laughing at all this

Again the best chance on the power play was a breakaway by florida How can you be so stupid I think that have contracted Steeler Syndrom No creativity no imagination
Cannot score in a red light district and just Really bad coaching

We know the window is closed. We just want to see entertaining hockey until Sid/Geno retire. The hockey lately has not been entertaining. No cup aspirations here or from most Pens fans.

Being in chicago i know the hawks waited a ovout three years too late before moving on from kane and toews. I think the goal should always be to win the cup. The sooner a team moves toward that goal the sooner the pain stops. We are paying right now in chicago for the delay but we have some terrific takent in the pipeline. I say good lick to the pens.. have always liked the franchise.

Our rebuild began two years ago when we quit trading our first-round pick. True, we traded this year's away for Karlson. It is top ten protected, so we have the option of keeping or sending it to San Jose.

We're solid at goaltender. Jarry is a top ten goalie, when healthy. We have a youngster coming up thru the ranks. Of course, nothing is guaranteed.

We're getting younger on defense, Shea and Ludvig look like keepers. Owen Pickering was our first from '22. We're just waiting for him to age out of juniors. His development seems to have stagnated playing against younger, weaker competition.

Forwards, last year's number one, Brandon Yeager looks good and may get a chance at the end of this season.

We aren't as bad as people think.

Is it possible for a player to opt-out/retire from juniors mid season?

Shut up Rupp. There was nothing good about that game. Same fuking problems. They got trounced as soon as FLA started skating.

It’s not just Rupp… Caufield and Armstrong are the same. It gets annoying. (I don’t think) Errey would have painted the Alice in Wonderland picture like them… then again he’s not here.

They had but 5 shots on goal in the third period… what could they possibly see that they liked about that?

We may have seen the last of Todd Rear-end in panic, clown mode explaining what they should do on a 6 on 4 power play.

In the *Adventures in Wonderland* they painted the white roses red to avoid the Queen of Hearts ordering their heads cut off. They tried to cover up mistakes in a slapdash, foolish way. That's the broadcasting team.

Right now, however, the Queen of Hearts might be welcomed addition.

Honestly. I bet he and Shanny have had a few laughs at Dubas’s expense. EK was not what this team needed at all.

Why don't these kids choose college over returning to juniors?

Be careful what you wish for, it may come true. We wanted Errey gone, now we complain about Rupp. We wanted Dumo gone, we get Graves. We got almost everything we wanted this past off season and somehow, we have gone in the wrong direction.

The only wish we didn't get was ridding ourselves of Jarry. Maybe we don't know what's best after all.

Hex traded Matheson for Petry, Marino for Ty Smith, a 2nd for Granlund, McCann for nothing, ... no matter how bad this team does in the next few years, he doesn't have the high ground.

And Dubas succeeded in completely deleting the PP from the pens arsenal.

How does that make what Hextall did good? Whataboutism logic cannot save Hextall.

Idk if Pitt’s broadcast showed the pregame ceremony for Horny

I’d rather see Sid/Geno/Letang retire as lifers in the black and gold then kick start a rebuild that has no definitive timeline.
