Official GDT: Pens vs Bolts 11/19/24

[DelPen]

Pickering seems like he has some good vision and a plan of what to do as soon as he gets the puck. Reminds me of Goligoski a bit in that regard. Gonchar was great at it. Letang still hasn’t figured it out.

[Puck-Lurker]

St Ivany got blown past twice in a row there.

[DelPen]

Hagel held Stvany’s stick to pull himself around to force a penalty. Pens should be on the PP first because of the stick hold.

[DelPen]

And Lightning do more than anything Rust did for a solid 10 seconds on multiple Pens and no call. Great consistency.

Good read on Pickering.He also looks like an agile skater who can get in position to defend with deceptive skill.

The dude looks comfortable if nothing else. I'd keep him on the roster, just take your pick for who gets to sit for him.

Blue collar period, got an opportunistic goal. Can't complain.

[brwi]

Good start. Pens pretty clean in their own end and Jarry has done fine on the few quality chances TB got. Killing off 2 penalties was big.

[Admin]

Definitely a nice defensive effort in the first.

[Zalapski33]

The overall attention to defending was solid that 1st Period.
Jarry with his best effort in a long time.

[Crash66]

2 inches from 600

[Pens4Life]

Okay.. sit Puljujärvi! You're not allowed to score in Sullivan's system!

Suck it Sully! happy for Jesse!

And that’s kind of the issue, him and Brunicke looked better than almost every other defenseman in preseason and I don’t think anyone could say they weren’t among the 6 best who played while omitting Karlsson who was injured. But I don’t know what’s going on in WBS because it seems players aren’t developing there so I’m all for sending him back down if he will get better while also having Graves and Gryz continue the tanking. But if he’s going to not progress then I’d keep him up but then we have Sullivan making young players look worse too.

[Zalapski33]

Sid putting it on the table for Rakell,perfect setup and shot for the PP Goal.

[Admin]

Any chance we hold a 2-0 lead?

[Maestro]

Big saves, limited defensive pinching, power play goal… bizarro Penguins

[Crash66]

2 goal lead. Things have got to change. Right?

[DelPen]

Okay.. sit Puljujärvi! You're not allowed to score in Sullivan's system!

Suck it Sully! happy for Jesse!

Puljujarvi if he likes it here and resigns is a player that would be good to have in a rebuild. He can play any line you need him to and will score when he gets ice time. But seeing as how he’s dirt cheap and a pending UFA he could actually get a decent return at the deadline from someone looking for that depth now for 4th line scoring in the playoffs under a better coach.

[DelPen]

Big saves, limited defensive pinching, power play goal… bizarro Penguins

So maybe Vellucci has been the problem?

[Crash66]

A pretty good 40 minutes. I'm concerned they've shot the proverbial wad.

[Zalapski33]

Overall 2 Solid and Effective Periods tonight.No Odd Man Rushes,Good Back Checking from the Forwards,timely saves from Jarry.Complete Team Effort so far.

Likely no but maybe they are actually adapting? One can hope.

[Pens4Life]

So why has Jesse the 2nd lowest even strenght TOI? Just Ponomarev has lower..

[Southern Fan]

Don’t like the first minute of the third. It’s like Sully told them it’s blow the lead time.

[stonewizard51]

Any chance we hold a 2-0 lead?

I don't want to jinx it with a response but I hear ya

[DelPen]

That’s not high sticking, first, it’s not the requisite height and second, it’s literally stationary and the Bolt tries to kiss it or something dumb. Bad call.
