speaking of high powered teams with bad PPs, the Pens reaaaaaaaaally need to figure their poo poo out. IIRC the PP is under Tocchet's purview and my guess is that he's buddy buddy with Mario so probably isn't going anywhere, but it would be really nice if Sullivan stepped in and figured things out a bit the first thing I'd like to see is actually more of a chip n chase zone entry strategy. right now, almost every time, one of the pens stars will basically try to carry the puck through the neutral zone singlehandedly, while the other 4 guys stand still on the blueline. it's way too easy for the D to break up this type of entry by just putting a lot of pressure on the blueline, and lo and behold, the pens are doing a poo poo job at getting possession in the offensive zone on the PP i know chip n chase is kind of anathema around here, but i think it's a necessary adjustment when the D is clogging up the neutral zone to prevent controlled entries. the key is that you need 2-3 guys skating hard into the offensive zone to actually retrieve the puck instead of just standing at the blue line. the pens have scored sooooo many ES goals from aggressive forechecks causing turnovers, i don't see why they couldn't do it on the PP too. and once they've deployed this entry strategy a bit, it will back the D up and open more room in the neutral zone, and they can go back to trying more controlled entries i don't know, this feels like zone entry 101, and i'm probably waaaaaaaay oversimplifying the types of offensive systems they try to run on a PP, but the pens PP has been an area that has been pretty consistently mediocre through the johnston-sullivan regime change, so they need to adjust SOMETHING

double post but i just watched the highlights of the pens stars game man, i really feel like this is some of crosby's best hockey in his career. really incredible to watch. with how mcdavid has been playing it wouldn't be hard to say there's a new #1 and maybe this is the homer talking, but i really think crosby is clinging onto the title

Good Soldier Svejk posted:So with that game last now, Fleury finds himself at 38th out of all goalies with more than 8 starts, with a whopping .904 save percentage. He "won" with a .903 While I'm totally on board with Murray being the #1, I actually do think that MAF has been off to a somewhat unlucky start. Bad numbers, yeah, and a fair number of stinkers that he should have had, but he's also been in games where he hasn't gotten much help. All signs point to Murray being the real deal, but I don't mind having a bit of a platoon situation given how Murray still doesn't have a big book of experience. If I'm wrong and MAF doesn't bounce back at all, then I'll eat my words, but for right now I think the Pens should stick with a 1a/1b strategy so long as Murray is the 1a that they play in the big games. Which it kind of seems like they're doing...

Jamwad Hilder posted:I thought Pouliot was decent and considered a good prospect, and that Pens fans liked him. He's gotten a few looks over the past couple years, and I've never been very impressed. Probably partly because he was over-hyped as the next Letang or something like that during the Shero years. But also the Pens just don't have much more room on the roster to shelter another D. That said, he's only 22 so I don't think he's a bust yet.
