Game Thread: Penguins GNT/GDT week 24 (Mar 14 - Mar 20)

[Darkstone42]

Doubt if we'll beat the Caps today (we played just yesterday & we're due for a loss). Still tho, the most optimistic predictions had the Pens at 2-2, and 3-1 is the worst we could do. 4-0 would be HUGE, especially when you figure it was against 4 division rivals.

Yup, the week's already a success. A win today would be gravy. Delicious, delicious gravy.

Oh baby! Sweet pass by Kuhnhackel & a spectacular finish by Rust!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

This is the fastest Pens team I've seen since the 1990s.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Sid 2 Daley, OMG, Pens are back baby!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

We're making Holtby look like a rented mule like we used to do with Kolzig & Berube!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

2-0 Pens, great start

Hope the keep this up!

Freaking awesome!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Mike Sullivan seems so much smarter than Mike Johnston in the interviews. You could tell Sullivan knows what he doing while Johnston was just hoping something would work.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

That was a terrible power play, let's hope that's not a momentum changer.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Caps are gonna come at us hard going forward, let's hope we could withhold the storm

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Another power play, hope they look sharper this time.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Way better power play this time, too bad we couldn't get it past Holtby, we had some good chances.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Another great job in transition, lucky bounce but great goal for Cullen!

4-2 Pens, should be 5-2.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Kunitz!

5-2 Pens!

Should be 6-2 tho

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Ugh, Dumoulin looks hurt, hope it isn't serious.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Schultz!

6-2 Pens!

Should be 7-2

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

What a win!

Dominated the Flyers yesterday then dominated the Capitals today.

6 in a row & now tied with the Rangers for 2nd in the division.

Hottest team in the East, maybe the hottest in the NHL (us or the Kings)

Great time to be a Pens fan!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Game over, Pens win 6-2, what a statement!

 

[Darkstone42]

Outstanding hockey game for the Pens today. Mike Weber will likely be suspended for that terrible hit on Rust, who someone didn't get hurt, but hopefully Dumoulin is fine after that perfectly reasonable (if a bit late) hit by OV.

It seemed like the Pens saw an edge in speed and decided to make that their focus. Really took advantage of their superior skating.
