Official GDT: Pens vs Hawks 4/8/25

[DelPen]

Sitting with the 6th and 11th picks right now, let's get this to #4.

[KG]

Ridiculous that Sully keeps trotting Graves out there instead of getting a good look at young Koly. Bleh

[KG]

Sitting with the 6th and 11th picks right now, let's get this to #4.

Rangers will keep their pick if it’s 11th. If we want the pick this year it needs to be 13+ most likely.

[Victor]

Rakell and Rust are each 1 goal away from new career highs. Rakell tied his 34 goals from the 2017-18 season when was with Anaheim and Rust equalled the 28 goals he scored last season. Rust already has a new career high in points with 59.

Rakell’s also just 3 assists away from setting a new career high.

[Victor]

I hope we don't see Nieto and Grzelcyk anywhere in the lineup next season. Also don't see the point in bringing back Dewar.

Add Heinen,Hayes and Acciari to this list.Doubtful that Hayes and Acciari get moved until the 2025-26 gets started.

All 3 of them are still under contract next season, so I'm resigned to see them on opening night. Hopefully they're gone by the deadline.

[KG]

I’m not seeing any reason for us to win this game. And for some reason Chicago always owns us.

Yeah,there is nothing to gain. Sid already got his Point a Game Streak.Want to see Koivunen get his 1st Goal and continue to witness his and McGroarty development.

[Zalapski33]

Letang continues to go through the motions.His play is evidence of a guy who clearly has zero concern for his On Ice play.

[Zalapski33]

Sid with the terrific shot for the PP Goal.
87 Point Season,31 Goals 20 Years in.He continues to show why his career is a gift for us Fans to witness.

He's on the brink of having 3 consecutive seasons of 30+ goals, 90+ points after turning 35. Freaking awesome!

[Crash66]

Perhaps they should trade for Knight.

Amazing.He's on a list with Gordie Howe and Mario for putting up those numbers.

[Zalapski33]

Karlsson with the wicked shot off a terrific feed from Koivunen and strong work from Rust.
Koivunen's passing has been outstanding this Period.

[DelPen]

Nieto a BU alum, that explains a lot now.

[FLPensFan]

I've been cautious to get overly excited after a handful of games, but, you can really see the skill level of both McGroarty and Koivunen. Watch closely enough, and you can see it isn't just adrenaline...they are both very smart players in terms of passing, defensive positioning, board work, etc.

Really been fun to watch these last few games. Hoping Koivunen can get his 1st in the NHL before the season ends.

Agreed. As Sully used to describe Bonino, they are cerebral players. They make the right decisions and are in good positioning. Definitely promising indeed.

Those two can replace Guentzel in the aggregate.

Their skating ability and awareness gets them into places that will yield results.Koivunen has been good at LW and RW.McGroarty has been active physically and forechecking.
You can see that MacDonald had a positive influence on their game down at WBS.

[KG]

We have a million bottom six scrubs that can PK. We don’t need McG out there getting hurt blocking shots.

Bad news that McGroarty isn't on the bench going into the 3rd.
Sully puts him out on the PK and this happens.

Which means Nieto is here to stay for the last 3 games. Increases odds of getting #7 pick. Hurts the AHL playoffs

[Zalapski33]

Letang goes back in time using the legs and getting a pretty Goal off the nice pass from Geno.Great shot by #58.

[KG]

Both Buffalo and Boston are winning their games at least.
