Geno off a terrific pass from Tomasino.DOC with good forechecking there.

Tomasino is a Difference maker with his Offensive Skills.

Wow, what a nice sequence of scoring! Pickering is so much better to see than freaking Graves too. Bonus, I thought it was 2-1, then looked at the score and saw it’s 2-0 because of the overturned goal. Sweet!

The 4th Line cannot defend with the way that Line is structured, a liability every shift.

Grzelyck and Letang are an accident waiting to happen with their awful turnovers as well.

And he passes to Nieto in the defensive zone. What a formula for success.

That shift was brutal. Hard to believe that’s the best fourth line we can put together.

We all know it’s not which makes it so frustrating.

That 1st Period could not end soon enough,Florida dominated nearly every shift.
Add in that the Pens had only 4 shots its stunning they are up 2-1 now.

I remember games like this where the Pens looked like Florida, and we’d somehow be down like this on a couple lucky shots. Times sure have changed.

DOC looked like he had no clue where he was on the ice there when hitting the cage.

Listening to Matt Cullen is such a reminder of what he brought to those 2 Cup Winning Pens Teams he was on.
A true role player in every sense of the word.

I'd put in Dreiger at this point if I were Florida. Knight has not been good, really since he returned from Player Assistance program (believe he was out for mental health issues...OCD).

Florida is playing their game, high shot volume, limit opponent shot volume. 3 goals on 7 shots isn't going to work for their system.

Are the Pens the only team that won’t send a defenseman over the boards to replace a forward on the long change so the defense on the ice doesn't get stuck out there like Pettersson did? It’s OK to have 4 defensemen on the ice at once so the two tired one can go up ice to come off then.

He shut the Canes out in the Panthers last game on Saturday, made sense to start him again.

Im guessing Bobrovsky would have been in net if not for Paternity Leave.
Sad that Knight was dealing with that issue,maybe he wasn't ready to get back in there.
Florida has definitely been dominant this game.
