Penguins 23-24

[Djfan]

Let's kick this season off the right way - with it's own thread.

I am as excited for the Pens as I am for the Steelers. Both teams made significant moves, and it's not unreasonable to hope that they pay off. Definitely in a "win now" mode in Pittsburgh.

 

[Djfan]

Sucks about Zucker. That one and Tanev will haunt us.

All the changes give us some hope. Excited to see the new look but the 800lb gorilla with this teams success is in the net.

Agreed. Better defense looks to be in front of that net now. Maybe when they realized they couldn't upgrade the goalie, they decided to upgrade the defense in front of the goalie.

Hopefully they have a few guys who, when things get chippy out there and the other team targets Sid or Malkin then there's going to be some retribution. There's still an unpaid debt from the Rangers playoff game a couple years ago that's still open.

It truly bugs me that we don't hit back. Cutting Reaves was stupid.

Especially since he was brought in by Rutherford to deal with that.

It's Sullivans stubbornness to "play the right way."

It might have come from above too. Will be interesting to see how new ownership takes to it's stars getting constantly targeted with no pushback.

I’m confident in Dubas

I’m confident in Dubas

Hextall was constantly saying he was limited by cap space, Dubas found a way to bring in new talent. Hopefully it works out on the ice.

 

[Djfan]

Man, that game tonight sucked. We were just outplayed.

 

[Steelr4evr]

So glad the season is starting. I hope it's better than the Steelers.


Last preseason game tonight on NHL network. Up 5-3 after 2 periods.

 

[Sarge]

Watched the game tonight. That PP is going to be sick. Top unit was Sid, Geno, Rackell, Karlsson and Letang. 2-3 tonight, and they made the two they scored look easy.

Glad to hear it. I was hunting, so I missed it. We have a good team. We can do this.

Both PP goals were scored in the first 30 seconds of the PP. The first PP goal took about 10 seconds.

The fight in your video changed the game. The Pens were down 2-1. Letang took a hit and Sid held the guy accountable. The team never looked back after that, out scoring Buffalo 6-2 from that point on.

Great to see Sid standing up for his teammate but for the love of God, Allah, and Dick Butkus, can't we get an enforcer on our team?

 

[Steelersreign]

Game on tonightat 8pm on ESPN.
I can’t wait to see the new lineup.
Chicago is playing rookie number 1 pick Conner Bernard. He is supposed to be a generational player.

 

[Djfan]

I have heard that he is in the lines of Gretzky, Mario, etc. Hopefully not tonight
LGP!!!!

He has 5 points in 5 pre season games.

I am watching the pregame and Barry Melrose has Parkinsons disease and will be out of the studio all season.

We had one but the Pens got rid of him

Sorry to hear that. I was just wondering how Stan Savran was doing and read where he passed away last summer. He was one of my favorite announcers/commentators and so knowledgeable in all things Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. RIP Stan....Loved the show!

 

[Steelmann]

Lots of hype for this game in Vancouver! King Syd vs the apprentice Connor. Triple header on Tv to start the season. Nice to see the Penguins on here. The hype for Connor Bedard is huge. The kid just turned 18. Too bad Chicago got him. Hate the Hawks.

Rusty!!!

These refs suck
