How is Sully OK with this 2nd line?
- Thorny87

Erod, heinen, kap all get benched mid game for performances like carter is having. Carter just keeps going out there.

Different rules for different players is why sully is so frustrating as a fan and is just an average coach.

Swap Carter and Rod

Haha. No.

This is more to be expected. It’s not reasonable to think Pitt can compete with teams like the avalanche. If all the stars align sure but this is about right.

They looked pretty good last game and early on. Can't make a mistake against these guys for sure.

Pens only have one line that's on the same page

It'd be different if it was just him struggling but that whole line is off. Geno cannot play wing

Pettersson making a great argument for putting Friedman back in.

I've seen MacKinnon's line out against our 4th line a couple of times. That is NOT going to work out well for us.

Carter is just getting in the way and fumbling passes. He could of had a 2 on 1 with geno and his pass was 5 feet behind geno. How is that genos fault?

Too much passing again

Toews put it in

I really love Rakell's game.

I would love to have Zuck and McGinn for this game.

Dude, you don’t know what you’re watching.

Kuemper flinging elbows...Pens in his head a little maybe?

I really love Rakell's game.
- Rinosaur

Me too. He's hard on the puck and goes to the net. He obviously knows how to get open for shots too. A really good pickup.

He's jumped out when the 4th line has been stuck in their own end. Should be less of an issue in the 3rd period where is easier to get off of the ice.

Definitely, he's got a lot more grit than I would have thought.

They took advantage of a late change on that 3rd goal for sure. Most of this game has been line 1 against line 1

Agreed

Pens need to ship out Kap and use that salary to keep Rak.

Game over.

(frank) you dumb Kap

They could just let him walk.

I mean, if they can get any kind of asset for his rights they should try, but yeah, they could do that as well.

Kapanen so (frank)ing useless. He pulls up CONSTANTLY. Get the puck deep you anus tart!

Chances are there for the first line but they can't connect
