Official GDT: Pens vs Nucks 1/11/24

[lemieuxReturns]

Pustinen definitely has some skills to play on this team.

[Maestro]

I still like the days when Darius Kasparaitis would hip check the dude who boarded Smith and take out his knee.

[E-Ramone]

Jarry is keeping them alive.They are hanging him out to dry here.
How was that not a Penalty for knocking the stick out of Pettersson's hand??

Yeah, Jarry has been strong. D has been awful, slot has been a cruising zone for the Canucks.

They let the other team enter the zone uncontested and set up everytime like they’re on the PK. I guess that’s how the want to run their team defense? Seems idiotic to be that passive.

Agreed.All 3 Goals allowed was due to that approach.

[DelPen]

Nice slow motion replay of Hughes seeing he played the puck over the glass.

You mean “de soff”?

[DelPen]

Pustinen definitely has some skills to play on this team.

He would be effective on any line kind of how DOC can be too. There are not 12 forwards who deserve to play over him in the entire organization.

[KG]

Strange one of the top teams in the league, in Vancouver, is 23rd in the league in PK.

[Dynasty1970]

Is it too early in the season to lock up Reirden for another 4-5 years?

[DelPen]

Might be they don’t take many penalties so the % is scewed?

[E-Ramone]

With a decent PP, we could be tied given their below avg PK.

We would also be comfortably near the top of the Metro

[Zalapski33]

Jarry kept this game in reach with his play,the Goalie change worked.
Letting the Canucks fly into the zone is a disaster,just some terrible breakdowns early in that Period.
Sid once again with greatness on display.He had a strong finish to that session.
Whatever words to use to describe the PP and its damage to this team are beyond anything used on this Planet.
Vancouver looked like they had less energy late in the 2nd.Pens need to keep getting on loose pucks and taking advantage of the lack if agility of those bigger D.

You mean with a chance for parole in 3?

[Zalapski33]

Sid got hammered twice.Cheap Shot by Miller.

[KG]

Stupid unnecessary crosscheck by Miller. Stick one here PP!

[Zalapski33]

Malkin can't miss the net with that open look

[KG]

Vancouver's 3rd game in 4 nights. Grind them down hopefully.

[DelPen]

2nd unit wasted a lot of time there.

[KG]

Another blown PP. Copy and paste that in the next GDT...

[MRR]

unfortunately, Jarry is the best on the ice during our power play

[IntangibleBeer]

Another blown PP. Copy and paste that in the next GDT...

Pathetic. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Less passing, more shooting!!!!

[Zalapski33]

2nd unit wasted a lot of time there.

Kept sending back to Letang who tries the same method of trying to draw the defender in to him.Too cute.Just doesn't work.

[KG]

Puustinen with a team low in ice time so far (besides injured Smith). 8 minutes. It's like Sully doesn't want him to produce. We need a goal. Play an offensive depth player.

The only thing the powerplay has done that worked is to put Puusty out there, and put Malkin down low.

Neither of these things have you seen tonight.
