This was funny. Good job on Coleman to sneak in the helper

Lindy is doing a good job and getting buy in. The focus on blocked shots being something I don’t think we’ve had since he left. I think his change in age has come from being more calm about communication this expectation of the little stuff and that being what gets his approval. The prior approaches of giving players confidence and hoping it all would just come together missed the centralizing tenet needed to get players to go the extra mile for each other. They were just doing it for themselves before. Lindy simply commands respect and the players seem to be falling in line. Does this style of coaching have a timeline? Maybe, but who cares, get results Still surprised to see Samuelsson play as much as he has with the amount of bone headed plays. Cozens is lost, but there’s a glimmer of finding himself. Quinn is totally lost, who knows there. But I’ll take those two losses over the rest of the team stepping up. And this is with our fourth line being injured and rotating. Tage and Tuch took a few games, but they’re in full confidence mode now and playing aggressive and that’s the only way they can play well. Whenever they get passive they overthink and fall apart and it’s great to see that disappear. This is tricky because Lindy loves the Alamo, but I don’t think these players can do that well. We need to adjust. Giving Lindy til Thanksgiving until truly drawing any opinions, but I like what I see so far and I think it would’ve been naive to expect it overnight. He was a little defensive when asked about their pre season, but regardless it’s coming together and we aren’t miles out of the standings.

They finally looked in sync and competent until the empty net. Hope this isn’t a fluke and is a trend of the new coaching. the veteran line got the most minutes. And they deserved it. Folks need to start calling them the second line. Maybe less paranoia if we think of Cozens as a really expensive 3C surprised how little the 4th line got

Top line looking like a top line against the other teams top line.

McLeod for 2C

They look alright against a top team. Dahlin did a highlight play, he must read the message boards

He’s been asked to carry the load of 1D with Jokiharju as his partner when Jokiharju was a player many were willing to kick off the roster last year plus he’s hurt

But the Pens are a team that needs to drop out of playoffs if we’re getting in

Cool that they woke up but that first half was still extremely worrying. High expectations At least cooper rebounded phew

The collapse has just been so drastic for Allen. He can’t throw anything anymore

lol cooper drops perfect pass on first throw C ursed

Levi hasn’t looked great so far this year. Okay but not great. Just keep rotating them til one decided to show up

Quinn still looks awful. Something is wrong but he doesn’t deserve to be gifted minutes figuring it out Thimpson and Tuch woke up. Thankfully Samuelsson needs benched I don’t care how much I hate Bryson

***** period but they clawed back. First line showed signs of life for once. PP making baby steps

It’s mostly Samuelson who has looked like ***** so he gets no benefit of the doubt. He needs benched

4th goal was 100% Samuelsson deflection and not Levi’s fault

I want Dahlin to skate one down the ice and cut across the zone with a spin move to show these forwards what mojo is again. Also so he can find his own he needs it

If we had an average PP right now everyone would be overjoyed with our progress Cozens ain’t right since that fight gave him a concussion. No idea if he ever recovers. Sometimes concussions just screw you royally

Peterka good Overall 5v5 team play was decent actually Cozens extremely bad. Multiple goals were caused by his solo dumb plays. He needs benched. That fight concussion ruined him years back Zebras completely ruined this game. They made the wrong call on the challenge. They called everything and then once Pittsburgh caught up they put their whistles away until OT. Just ***** infuriating every Pittsburgh game the refs come into play like this and our special teams is atrocious which makes the ref problem even worse. Special teams can be coached and give it time UPL is just below average. Not terrible but not good.

***** the refs. ***** the penguins. ***** the refs. ***** this *****

Power got his man. The goal was scored by someone else UPL just isn’t good

REMEMBER THE AlAMO

***** homer piece of ***** refs I can’t ***** stand the pens

They can’t jump the ice like that I don’t care what the ***** it is

If it’s goalie interference it’s a ***** penalty what the *****
