It's... it's everything I ever dreamed of :unsmith:

They're going to blow this lead and I don't even care! I never thought I could be so excited to have the Bylsma era back :toot:

Kevin Porter tries hard but he can't quite keep up with the speed of the NHL game

20 shots in the first period, I think I like these Pens

You may not like the second period Pens so much

Just a feeling

I really have no idea who he is or why he's with the team, i dont even know what to complain with about him

far as I know he's a no-talent guy the team likes because he's high effort, so basically Craig Adams

Kris Letang may be the most important player on the Penguins

I don't mean that like it's a ~hot take~ but due to how the defense falls apart without him stabilizing them for 28 minutes a game they're a totally different and far worse team without him

Islanders' color guy right now: "Bonino hasn't been nearly the offensive threat they thought he was when they signed him, got him from Anaheim."

Unless I misheard and he was talking about someone on the Islanders, I dunno

Hard to be as offensive on the ice as Brandon Sutter, that's for sure.


Also Daley's back.
Hoo-rah.

It's just an amazing clusterfuck of cluelessness because

(a) no one has ever mistaken Bonino for someone who provides offense,
(b) he was traded for, not signed, and
(c) from Vancouver, not Anaheim

See that was the exact thing I've been wanting the Pens to do on the PP for years, just put Sid on the faceoff dot and feed him the puck and let him rip it

It's what the Caps have done with great success for many years, even though everyone knows exactly what they are doing it still works

It's 3-0 in an NHL game, so it's time for the refs to repeatedly call penalties on the leading team until the game has been tied

I do worry that the Penguins are encouraging Isles management to fire their coach, which will do the Penguins no favors

Yeah, whatever the change is... I'm down with it.

It's Letang being back plus the team finally shaking off the Johnston doldrums, it was not something that was going to happen instantly

Crushing the souls of the Caps and then spectacularly flaming out in the second round is going to be glorious

Isles saying "eh, gently caress it" and taking runs at Crosby now because why not.

I still don't understand why any coach continues to play his stars in 5-1 games in the 3rd period.
