Official GDT: Pens vs Nucks 11/27/24

[DelPen]

Defense was ready to the best it can be, Pickering sick seems like a joke. Bottom 6 is still a dumpster fire.

[Admin]

So the third line BLOs?

[Zalapski33]

Unfortunate for Pickering being sick and unable to go.
Puljujarvi should be screaming to get away from this Organization.Hasn't done a thing to warrant being scratched.Poulin and Puustinen need to be asking to get out as well.
The Bottom 6 outside of DOC gives them zero chance of anything that can force the Opposition to even waste a Second on Defending.

[thehockeyguru]

No points in 5 and a minus 2. Can't sit that kind of production

If Poulin and Puustinen want out then they need to go on a crazy tear in WBS to have trade value. They haven’t really done that and in fact no one has for a really long time it seems. I haven’t been impressed with the coaching down there either for the last several seasons.

Nope. 1-0!

[KG]

Good job Lizotte.

I despise this old 4th line though. Puljujarvi should ask for a trade.

The list of Forwards with similsr numbers on this Team is probably crowded.His overall play every night was decent but You are correct,the lack of scoring puts him in a vulnerable place there.

Yes,their lack of Offensive Production doesn't give them any leverage.The WBS Coaching is definitely a concern for the development of McGroarty,Broz,Ponomorev and Kouivenen.

[Crash66]

That was unfortunate

[thehockeyguru]

Bad giveaway by Pettersson you can't do that

[Zalapski33]

Good job Lizotte.

Lizotte leaves it out there every shift.He has a ton of Heart.

[KG]

Raty, future Pen.

Don’t help that the experienced vets of Acciari and Hayes just stood around and watched the Nuck take two shot attempts.

Wasn’t the worst we have seen Jarry give up but certainly not a good goal, seemed stoppable if he was focused.

[Zalapski33]

Bad break for Jarry on the flubbed shot.MP with a poor play to give it away.The 4th Line not exactly being tight checking as well.

Have you watched them play?

[FLPensFan]

Is it just me, or are teams finally starting to realize this team is Charmin soft, and starting to take some extra liberties, dangerous hits, etc...because they know there's little fight or pushback from this team?

Couple of shots on Lizotte, big hit on Tomasino, and a few other overly aggressive whacks early in this game.

Why wouldn't you? This team is soft mentally and physically. What's the worst that can happen? Pens get a power play? LOL!

Rakell 2-0

[IntangibleBeer]

Teams and players know this. I remember Tyler Kennedy years ago talking about how, at one point, Detroit was generally a soft team with the exception of one or two players, and Kennedy, Cooke, and others knew that they could run guns and be aggressive with little push back.

Not every night but about 5-7 Games this Year.Broz has had a good run scoring.Kouivenen can skate and is a decent passer.Ponomorev is good at reading the play and McGroarty is struggling with his confidence so far.Small Sample Size but thats how I've seen it.

[Zalapski33]

Rakell gets it from the right place to find the net.Good Play.
