2018-19 Penguins and NHL Offseason

Rask is horrible, about as horrible as JJ. Rutherford drafted Rask in Carolina and we all have seen how much he likes to dip in his old well. I agree, Kessel is all but gone.

I'm glad they have figured out that JJ needs to go but don't sell the farm to do it.

Watched Malkin in the World's and he has looked great. He's playing with confidence and his passing has been sharp. He's only committed a few dumb turnovers. Playing like he has got something to prove and I hope this carries over to the NHL season.
 
Finland beat the insanely talented Russia in World's play. Malkin like the rest of the Russian team, was lazy. For some reason, he's just isn't shooting the puck.
 
Finland beat Canada for the Gold at Worlds. Finland kinda reminds me of the Canes in a bunch of ways.

Murray was strong early but as we have seen, couldn't Finnish. In fairness 2 of the 3 that got past him were through traffic. He made the usual mistake, pressure comes and he backs in too deep. McCann looked good. He set Turris up twice in the 3rd and Turris didn't Finnish.

Murray is a good goalie but he isn't great nor elite by any means. The Pens are going to need to score goals because Murray isn't going to shut a team with any offensive talent down on a regular basis.
 
2-2 entering into the 3rd. Blues had a 2-0 and let it get away from them. Bruins just seem destined to win it this year.
 
Blues hurt themselves in the 2nd.
I’m convinced this is gonna be a fun series
 
This is gonna be a quick series. Once Boston got rolling in the second, it looked like men against boys. Boston is just too fast, too skilled. They play physical, and can take the Blues' game and shove a better version of it back in their faces. This is over in 5 at most.
 
I haven't counted the Blues out yet,but they need to win game 2 or it's going to be a tall task.
 
I WANT the Blues to win. But watching last night from the 2nd period on, it wasn't fair.
 
I want the Blues to win as well. But the Bruins layoff was evident in the 1st period. After they got their legs back it was all over. I doubt this series goes to 5 games. The blues have to play an almost perfect game to win or the goalie has to play perfect. I just don't see them having a chance but I hope I'm wrong.
 
The series has sweep written all over it. I hope the Blues find a way but they were seriously over powered last night.
 
The Blues dominated the last half of the 3rd and OT. That's when I turned it on, atleast. The Bruins might be faster and more skilled, but the Blues showed something last night. If they could take both games in STL, that would be monumental, but I'll take one, for sure. Brad the Rat looked like Malkin with his TOs and lazy play. Striking how it leads to goals and odd-man breaks when they play with the puck too much.

The Bruins were down to 5 defenseman so for most of the 3rd and going into OT they were wearing out. You almost see that coming in OT.

Yes, good call. I fotgot about that. They seemed to be wearing down and STL took advantage of it.

Didn't watch last night. Actually, I forgot it was on. Probably a good thing. I might have been bad luck.
