Official GDT: Pens vs Utah 11/23/24

Post by DelPen »



Forward lines are what they are. Good to see Pickering given a chance to see what he can do and if he can babysit Letang. That third pair though is trash, Shea-St. Ivany is better.

Third pair is scary yep, happy for Owen.

But that 2nd line is weird as well, why just not try Puljujarvi as RW with Geno? Oh yeah, Sullivan lol

Penguins versus the Hockey Clubs!

Here's Pickering's chance to become Owen Peterrson. Rooting for him.

Grzelcyk about time he got demoted, but in honesty, he should sit for St Ivany or Shea. Graves I don't mind so much, he's been in and out and not as terrible as advertised.

Switching the top lines around and keeping the third line, okay! The fourth line is trash though.

Sid has not officially scored against Utah, another team for him to need a goal against and then also now needs to score on the road later this season there to cross that building off his list to complete them all again. But he’s never scoring again so…

The 3rd D-Pair,SMH.Why not give Shea-St.Ivany the nod?
Shuffling the Wings on Lines 1 and 2 has guys playing in spots they normally don't,wonder how that will work.

Would you rather Shea-St Ivany is the third pair, Pickering sits and Grzelcyk-Letang is the top pair?

It's progress, of a kind.

I'm for whatever keeps Graves off the ice. If that's 5 D and 13 F so be it.

No,I definitely want Pickering playing,his game has looked decent,promising and composed. Grzelyck getting the Long Overdue Scratch needs to happen.

Just checked out what the 6 possible names are for Utah. They should just stick with Coyotes.

Graves chasing a guy behind the net when Gryz was waiting for him on the other side was awesome

I swear every team in the league has a player that looks like Brian Doyle Murray in Caddyshack.

Graves deciding to chase a guy behind the net just another terrible play to leave that side open and its a Goal for Utah.

Sully and Quinn already having that choice of Graves-Grzelyck as a D-9air backfire.

Who would have thought that 3rd pairing wouldn't do well.

Certainly not a top 2-3 coach in the league.

This is where Sullivan should get tossed for berating the officials where Puljujarvi was clearly hauled down and then they give up a goal.
