Let the record also show that this is why I tend to not do GDTs. Things don’t end well.

They keep bringing up Marc Methot in the TSN/NHLN broadcast. I’m sure there’s a reason, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Zohorna robbed but good to see him in the right spot and putting a good shot on net.

2nd line picking up their play. Big Z definitely deserves the spot.

Shea has had a solid camp, I think he is making the team and playing over Chad. Would be great if he can develop to be a good PK guy.

EK just needs to take over the power play. They are going to pass it around looking for the perfect play.

Here’s the thing. I like Zohorna. I’m happy for him. I’m also not sure that he has the hands nor the consistent play to be what we want him to be. Other teams wanted to see this from him last year and it never happened. I’m also not sure that Malkin is at the point where he can float Zohorna for any significant time.

From what I've seen, I would definitely favor Shea over Ruh for 6D. Nothing flashy, obviously, but he's done several little things very well.

Ottawa without a power play this game, yet the Pens have had four and are down 2-0... freaking embarrassing.

The Pens look like their in mid season form on the PP. Maybe a little less Globetrotter and more shooting. I do like Karlsson’s confidence with the puck which will be very beneficial as he settles in more and gets to know his team.

In a surprise twist... their offense with the goalie pulled is almost a mirror to their power play futility... who knew?

Frustrating to see Korpisalo making a great save on every decent chance we have had.

Seeing Geno try to hustle back in a preseason game to not give up an EN is at least something positive.

Giving the Halifax crowd a taste of Penguins Playoff hockey.

The team was definitely checked out after a nice vacation.
