Kolyachonok's shifts this 3rd Period gave been solid.Created Offensive Pressure by jumping in on one,had a strong take out in the Corner in his Defensive Zone on this last one.

This has been far more entertaining than that boring presidential speech which is STILL going on.

Re: Official GDT: Pens @ Avs 3/4/25
Letang throws a useless pass in the Offensive Zone,gets back on his heels and nearly beat by MacKinnon then is on the verge on taking a dumb Penalty when these Officials are dying to get the Avs a PP.
Still a mental midget 19 Years into his Career.

Re: Official GDT: Pens @ Avs 3/4/25
Not only that, when he gets in the offensive zone and has 6 feet of clearance around him, he's raising his stick and calling for a pass, cocked and loaded. He wants to rip the puck. I had flashbacks to my early dek-hockey days of doing the same thing...forgetting your can't call for a pass that way in dek-hockey, automatic high-sticking penalty. I learned after the 4th or 5th time.

That’s a trip. Unfortunate but fair call.

You knew the Avs were going to get a call.Beauvillier has to be aware of it but he does that anyway.

I don’t mind the high angle but for the love of god don’t move the camera around for no reason.

Not a great read by Ned. Shot might had gone across the crease had he ducked there.

Predictable Result.Bad Teams do this.Not sure what EK was trying to do on this PK but it was an easy Goal to put the Avs up.

Also not mad it’s 2-1 now. Sid got his point and no one has done anything egregious enough more than normal to make me mad so this isn’t a bad result of it holds.

Looked like a bad shot that surprised Ned because he was expecting it further towards the corner and it worked against him.DelPen wrote: Tue Mar 04, 2025 11:25 pmNot a great read by Ned. Shot might had gone across the crease had he ducked there.

Very well played game up until the Avs got their second goal. Pens forgot how to play after that.

Good thing Sullivan called timeout with 1:08 left and 2 goals down.

Re: Official GDT: Pens @ Avs 3/4/25
2 Easy ENG's against off the the usual ineffective play with the Goaltender pulled ended it.Wasn't really a blowout loss
Ned had a solid game.A little slow reacting on the Losing Goal.
Kolyachonok played well all game.In All Areas.Keep him in the Lineup.
Beauvilier takes the dumb Penalty,passed up shots all game..Gryz was terrible Defensively and Offensively. 2 Guys they should move at the Trade Deadline.
Agree with the thinking of many here.Need the result to go like this.Sid got a Point.Pens weren't terrible.

Rakell with four goals in his last three games. 29 so far. His stock couldn't be any higher!DelPen wrote: Tue Mar 04, 2025 11:26 pmAlso not mad it’s 2-1 now. Sid got his point and no one has done anything egregious enough more than normal to make me mad so this isn’t a bad result of it holds.

Thos is where I am - my first hope for each game is points for Sid. Beyond that it's simply the hope of long term good for the team.DelPen wrote: Tue Mar 04, 2025 11:26 pmAlso not mad it’s 2-1 now.

Sullivan proves how much of a top 2-3 talent coach he is. Plays his "best" defenseman the lowest # of minutes on the team.
