You can tell McG has “it.” He’s a smart player. Always in good position and around the puck. Definitely has a high hockey IQ.
He gets to places that are going to give him chances to score.And his passing is sharp.

So he’s going to be scratched or sent to WBS?

Shorties lead to high draft picks so I'm told.

Now that Sid’s PPG record is ensured I just want Koivunen to get a goal and is really the only reason I keep watching.

Rooting for him as well.He has been close,those wheels get him on a lot of loose pucks.

Timmins gets beat wide and not much of a reaction from Ned on this Chicago Goal.

Malkins line, where wingers go to die.

A lot if action, not much results.

Terrific work from Koivunen and Rust to set Rakell up for the PP Goal.Ville had it figured out there.

Kids looked good. Rakell ties career high in goals. No reason to win this game otherwise.

Pens might be the worst Team in the NHL when their Goaltender is pulled.The minute Ned was off the Ice they looked completely lost and another ENG given up.

Letang and EK on the ice together is pure gold. Legitimately hilarious.

McGroarty and Koivunen continue to show their skill and energy.Good games from both.Many chances generated again.
Would like to see Ponomorev brought up for these last 4 Games.Sit Hayes,he brings nothing at all.Try Pono with Dewar and Tomasino if he is healthy.
The other obvious move is to Scratching Graves and playing Kolyachonok but Sully isn't going to do this.
