Teams continue to embellish far more against the Pens than any other team, and the refs continue to happily reward them for it

Making the playoffs is cool but I've watched them lose in the first round enough times the past few years. I want that draft pick. I'm still optimistic about a 100% Johnston-free season next year.

While this is reasonable, rooting for the Flyers is a sin against God and man :colbert:

I loving hate the whole "grab the stick to draw a call" thing. I mean that's a penalty anyway but it's one of my least favorite types of "veteran moves". Especially when a stick is barely around a player's hip and they pull it up and tuck it under their armpit.

They're typical recent vintage Penguins forwards: really good possession players (well Rust and Wilson are anyway) but can't find the net with a map and a helicopter searchlight.

This is fine, possession is all you really want out of your bottom six. The Kessel trade is a failure and is unfortunately going to make it even harder for the Pens to finally come up with a couple of top six forwards who can actually turn scoring chances into goals.

Carl Hagelin is cool and good. Dude works.

He's basically Perron only much faster and not a shithead. Good trade for both teams, Perron is a great fit for the Ducks.

gently caress the Ducks

Kessel is a good player when the team works out that all he can do is skate fast and launch nasty wrist shots.

The Penguins have gotten real good at deflecting the puck into the net? ALSO gently caress Johnston because that shot likely would never have happened under his "system"

It's possible that he can backcheck or win a puck battle, but he's never tried so there's no way to be sure
