It gives Tage a week to get healthy.

The absolutely horrible o line may be our Achilles heel to our window. We pretty much need 3 maybe 4 new starters. Big set back.

This might be the worst offensive line I’ve ever seen.

With this oline we will be lucky Josh makes 3 drives my goodness.

We had our chance and could not finish. This is where we need more scoring talent. But… this is progress. Subban looked really good tonight.

Yes!!!!!

Subban keeps us in again. Take away the power plays and we are winning. I think this team is starting to grasp Granatos philosophy. With some decent goaltending we can make progress and win games with a lower skilled roster.

Girgs!!!!!

Hayden has to put that rebound in. Wow.

Going to have to stay disciplined and stay out of the box. The Pens power play is deadly.

Sticking up for your teammates are always good penalties. Sir, I have not spent much time on my past posts questioning their physical toughness at all. It’s certainly not “all I do”. I think you are reading in something that’s not the case. I simply stand on my opinion: that was not a smart penalty to take. There are times when a cross check or fight is good. Yet another instance of a dumb penalty of unnecessary physicality makes it 2-0.

Give credit where credit is due: Subban kept this a game. Definitely need to press more next period. 21-5 in shots is not good.

“All I do is complain they are not tough enough”???? I haven’t said a thing about toughness. I’ve made some complains about bad passing but haven’t we all. Not sure where you are getting that from. the Tage penalty was a good penalty. cross checking someone blatantly on a low danger play was probably not a good idea. You have to be smart on the penalties you take.

Holy Subban save! Wow!

It led directly to a power play goal. Did it not? You think the Pens are scared now? There are ways to be tough and take that penalty the right way if you do it. Like in a scrum in front of the net and making that guy feel it. Giving the Pens free power plays is not a good idea.

And then there is option 3: being careless to be “tough”. It wasn’t a smart way to do it. Thus the Penguins scored.

No it wasn’t. It made it 1-0 bad guys. The Penguins will take that all day.

Dumb penalty Mr Dahlin. Dumb.

I know it’s a small sample size but UPL looks ready. If this continues it will force some tough decisions. Granato had basically said a few interviews back that it’s a shorter call up he can use to get experience to make the most of and he didn’t want to get into the temptation to use too many Rochester players this year. This may get interesting.

The bottom line is UPL is giving us decent goaltending. He gave up a few softies but boy has he made some incredible saves. You can win a lot of games only giving up 2. KA has a dilemma on his hands if this keeps up.

Yes!!!!!!!! 2 in a row!

Nice goal!

Only truly soft goal UPL has given up.

I think a more reasonable goal would to go .500 the back end of the season

Great road win. They looked solid for most of the game. Didn’t panic and solid goaltending.
