Official GDT: Pens vs Panthers 12/3/24

4th line is saved by a broken stick

[KG]

Getting outshot 40-15. Only reason this is even a game is Knight has been garbage.

[Zalapski33]

4th Line out late,gets worked again then we see EK force a pass to Acciari at Center Red which gets swallowed up and nearly costs a Goal.

[maopens]

This team should intentionally give up 2 goals in the first minute of a game to protect against having to play with a lead.

[brwi]

the 4th line was out with a little over 2mins to go and amazingly FL did NOT score!

[Crash66]

That's the problem with having a coach who was a borderline NHLer. He sees himself in those guys. They'll always get a sweater.

[stonewizard51]

There is no such thing as a safe lead with this team.

Bylsma 2.0 in that regard.

This!

Definitely. If someone in the media would ask what Sullivan sees in Nieto he will say himself as a player. Ridiculous.

For a 4th line that’s supposed to be defensive they are rather offensive when it comes to giving up goals against!

And that's why WonderKid should go all Billy Beane on his ass.

[KG]

Thank you Spencer Knight

[BurghThing]

Thank God he didn't pass that to 65

[Zalapski33]

Somehow Rust puts frosting on this manure of a game.Nice shot Bryan!!

[Crash66]

They won. Everyone will forget about the blown lead again. It's got to be addressed / corrected.

[Pruezy11881]

Atta boy Rusty

[stonewizard51]

Nice snipe RUSTY !!!!

[E-Ramone]

4 in a row is awesome, but clearly lots to work on/clean up.

[FLPensFan]

A lot of luck against 4 good teams. You'll take those wins, they are playing better overall, but they also got below average backup goalies in 2 of the 4 games.

[Pitts]

Who is this team? And, why are they screwing up our draft position?

[Admin]

I’m pretty sure the Pens won’t lose again this season.

[Zalapski33]

Despite the 4 Goals Allowed Jarry was the Pens #1 Star.Had a terrific night in net.
3rd Line was outstanding and deserve credit for a huge reason they had a chance in this contest.Their Intensity was a Difference again.
Letang played well the 2nd and 3rd Periods.Grzelyck should be scratched,incompetent all night.And EK late basically gave the game away,awful.
To put that 4th Line out there was a level of Coaching Stupidity that is high on the Imbecile Chart.
Beating Florida is a Tall Mountain to Climb.Will have to look at it from that angle or it will be too aggravating.

Unfortunately I have "Italian Alzheimer's Disease"

I forget everything but the Grudges.

[Pens4Life]

Another blown 3 goal lead, but somehow they pulled out a win by superb Rusty's shot. Jarry vs Knight was game winning difference.

4th line and Gryz, yikes!

Glass, Puljuarvi should get at least line spots now instead of Nieto and Acciari. We should try with ;
Bunting - Lizotte - Puljujarvi
Beauvillier - Hayes - Glass

[largegarlic]

I could only the first two periods, but based on that, I'm pleasantly surprised they got the 2 points. I know it's another blown lead, but this felt like a game where they should be have been down 3-1 after 2 instead of up 3-1. Florida was clearly a superior team, and sometimes you've got to find a way to steal some points against better teams if you're a mediocre team scrounging for a playoff spot, something the Pens haven't done much of in the last couple years.

Grzelcyk sure looks bad in his own end, but I noticed he's somewhat quietly up to 11 assists already on the season. If he keeps up this pace, he'll have over 30 assists on the year. I wonder if a better team would have a use for him as a sheltered 3rd-pair/PP2 sort of guy and would give the Pens something for him.
