The Pens PK at Home continues to be awful,27th in the NHL.
No one covering anyone or tying up sticks giving NJ so much room on this last PP Goal.
Thank god the top 2 or 3 coach obsesses over marginal barely nhl players solely for their defense and pk ability and forces them into the lineup for those irreplaceable skills that have given us this excellent defense and pk

Acciari turning it over in his own end for no reason.
Rust has spent the majority of this game making poor decisions with reckless passes.

Hayes gets a beauty of a pass from Sid and throws a weak effort on a wide open look.

Karlsson decides to do what the PP hasn't been doing and shoots it and its a Perfect one for the PP tally.What a shot by EK.

Big goal there on the PP after Devils get caught with the retaliation cross check.

Lizotte tenacious effort to get it out of the zone and the unselfish pass to Dewar for the ENG Goal.

Hayes gets the late one off a nice effort and pass from Bemstrom.
7 Goals against the Devils who they haven't beaten in forever.

Kevin Hayes scores 7-3, anyone had that on their predictions, they'd be off to the looney bin

4 Wins in a Row.Jarry in Net(and plays well)for all of them.This Team knows how to drive its Fans Crazy.
Sid was outstanding,set up so many chances.Rakell had a strong game.
Geno,Letang and Acciari were terrible.All 3 with boneheaded or downright awful plays.The PP was a joke until EK stepped it up late.
Dewar,Timmins and Kolyachonok with productive and steady play.
Blake Lizotte with another tremendous effort all game.He puts it all out there every night.

Sidney Crosby was on another level tonight. The level of passing and hustle, unreal. Almost scored that empty netter, that crazy backhand pass...

Another game winner for Tomasino! I believe that's six out of his 10 goals.

I have become resigned to the fact that the Penguins will miss the playoffs and screw up their lottery chances. Sullivan will exhort them to play hard and Jarry will do so now that the pressure is off. :evil:

Really enjoying this win streak and Sid scoring !! I don't care much about getting lower draft picks BUT, I'm afraid if this continues Sully will be going nowhere for a long time. I would like to see what a new coach and system can do with these new younger talents.

Sully wasn't going anywhere until after next season and the Olympics anyways

Yeah, you're probably right considering he is the top 2 or 3 coach in the league. Oh well, keep wining Pens and keep scoring Sid.

This Penguins win streak isn't sustainable. Saw a stat that since the trade deadline (4-0 record) their PDO is 113, shooting % of 20.5% and save percentage of .931.

The Penguins shooting percentage on the year is 10.27, and their save percentage is .882, for a PDO of .985. They won't be able to sustain their current rate much longer.

Most Jekyll and Hyde team ever but yes, it really shouldn't be sustainable.

When the pressure is off they're world beaters, when it's on they fold up like deck chairs. Still, this run will end soon.
