More confident then not but it’s going to be a battle tonight so who knows? Trotz having last change and the crowd are big positives for us so I like our chances but I wouldn’t be overly shocked if this went to seven games.

Yeah hard for me to be that confident with Sorokin and Jarry looking like they have haha but you never know...

I mean, Jarry hasn't really looked entirely terrible since Game 1. Yeah, his gaff in overtime the other night was absolutely atrocious, but otherwise there wasn't much he could do on the other two goals. Beauvillier got a forward turned around while he was trying to play D on the first one and Pageau forced a turnover and Eberle was able to fire one home. Obviously the OT blunder cost them the game and, rightfully so, got him skewered in the court of public opinion...but he strung together an adequate game otherwise.

It should be a good one, the Coliseum is going to be bananas for sure.

Jarry’s overall game has been pretty good imo. Varlamov directly cost us one game and arguably another. We’re on the right side of things because Sorokin is outplaying them both.

Agreed on all of this. Jarry has gotten some heat but other then that obvious gaff last game I think he has been pretty good overall. I especially like his glove hand.

I'd say jarry blew game 1 and Varley game 3 for sure so that's even in my eyes

This. Jarry cost the Pens game 1 and 5 so far but he was pretty good in the middle 3 games. The Pens skaters really sh!t the bed in game 4. Still though, when your goalie has cost the team 2 playoff loses it's hard to be overly confident in him, especially when there's no other playoffs for him to compare to or reflect on...

Yea varly stunk in game three as well. Odd the pens got dominated in game 4 and the isles in game 5 otherwise the stats are actually pretty even

I don’t think he even disliked Sorokin as much as he wanted to be an antagonist 😆😆😆. That’s just 7.
