It strikes me as the smoking gun that Sid's wrist is hosed.

His shot metrics are wonky, but I would say his wrist has likely been a problem going back to '19-20 and definitely appears to continue to be an issue. Maybe it's Geno/Carter as centers and Sid on the wing....

Yeah the fact that he isn't taking every faceoff he can makes it seem like there must be something going on there. And also the fact that he seems to be avoiding holding onto pucks almost like he's afraid of contact. That's pretty far from what his normal game is. Right now he is mostly getting the puck and immediately flinging it somewhere on low percentage plays. Can only count a handful of times where he's held onto a puck in the corner for more than a few seconds at a time.

This guy scored:


Jack Johnson knocked Stutzle down, Stutzle ran into Johannson which pushed the net off the moorings, and the puck crossed the line afterwards.

It is really agonizingly obvious that Sid can't bear being slashed and is avoiding it at all costs

N: in a week where we’re still missing Barkov, Duclair, Forsling and 4 others that we’d happily start on most nights the Panthers still went 3-0, including over 2 teams who were in the top 10, and put a ridiculous 147 shots on goal in those games.

You're neglecting to mention that all three were comeback wins, two of them being comebacks from down 4-1 to win in regulation. The Panthers are so fun.

I’ve learned to not even stress about the score going into the third these days. It’s nice that we can pull out the old style cardiac cats wins we used to have to do at full strength, when we’ve got a team that should in theory be eating a bunch of losses right now.

Wow, who would've thought that two wins over equally lovely teams wouldn't be enough to calm an angry fanbase of a capped out team with zero prospects that was promised the playoffs but two months into the season are 29th overall?

The 'new' look lines for the Pens definitely provided a better visual balance. Carter/Zucker on the spreadsheet had a goal against and were the 2 worst xGF players, however this gets a decent * caveat with them taking on the JT Miller and Boeser for the majority of the night. Something to keep an eye on then if opponents keep trying to take advantage of those 2. They also combined to create a breakaway and I thought their d zone work was pretty solid...Zucker made an excellent play when covering for Dumo early in the 2nd.

Obv I'm going to be mega biased...and it's also 'only' Vancouver anddddddd both 5v5 goals were from Jake and Sid, but I thought Kapanen with Blueger looked good. I'd probably swap ZAR and McGinn tbh though it doesn't matter too much. O'Conner with Simon was pretty good...the coaching staff seems to be doing something extremely specific with Matheson lately and *for now* have managed to make him not do insanely stupid things constantly. Jarry rolls on. Would like very much for Sullivan to stick with these lines for Monday's game and moving forward for a bit. Just missing the 5v5 finish.
