Big save by Ned at the end. PK’rs need to be better.

I thought the horn at the end of the period was another malfunction.

PK wasn't the same last time Acciari was hurt either.

The usual ineffective,no intensity,zero effort and lethargic start to a game from the Sullivan coached 2023-24 Penguins.
Ned with a terrific save at the buzzer,can't game him on Boldy's Goal,that was all on Rust and Pettersson giving him an easy zone entry.
To give Harkins and White a sweater instead of Puustinen and Poulin is just wrong.Nothing from either of these guys that make a difference.
Another couple of PP chances with tunovers,clueless zone entries and zero structure.Will regret this again if it costs them but its beyond reasoning.
Minnesota did very little that Period but the Pens managed to do even less.

Think the boys are gift-wrapping MAF with a shutout to send him off. Might be the easiest period he's ever faced.

Will need just one more to get into a tie for 10th with 76 because he’s getting #75 tonight.

And then we see three horrendous setups by different people after that.

Just awful and hard to watch that.
And to watch Graves defend in space is even worse.

Puljujarvi looking solid. Like that he takes the body. Hopefully Sullivan doesn’t coach the physicality out of his game….
