Pens beat the best team last time, can they beat the worst one now?

Rob Scuderi made a bad decision and caused a 2 on 1 from the blue line. Penguins can not exit the zone worth a poo poo so far. Fire Johnson.

Kind of weird to see a Pens-Jackets game where the BJs come out the gate trying to play hockey instead of going for hits hits hits

Yeah Mike Johnston's system is just horrible to watch, and I'm not even convinced it's all that effective.

I keep typing Johnson. Sorry about that. I do not believe it is all that effective. Lots of breakdowns and relying on high SV %.

They might just do it anyways just because the roster is talented enough to maybe survive his Carlyle like coaching

Brandon Dubinsky is hurt and they couldn't get a forward from Cleveland in time, so Dalton Prout is in as a forward because God hates us all.

At least that means you don't have to see Dalton Prout as a defenseman, eh?

I can think of 3 PP goals that occurred this year immediately after the pens gave up golden shorthanded chances. So it sounds plausible.

you know, i realized just now what bothers me so much about the pens broadcasters (other than being loving stupid)... every time something happens, they use penalty names (and then mention that there's nothing called). Instead of "tied up on the boards" it's "and he's held along the boards... no penalty on the play". "Run into each other" -> "is interfered with... no penalty on the play"... "stumbles/steps on his stick" -> "is tripped up... no penalty on the play"
