Let’s break it down though. DOC gets extended on a shift, Bolts score. DOC over commits on the PK, Bolts score. Malkin banks it in off DOC’s stick. Then Jeff Carters just a (frank)ing legend. Oh and the goalie scores.

Yeah, going straight to the net with haste and burying a fast pass that went through Victor Hedman should be looked down on....

It was a great play and finish by DOC.

Tied with Carter for goals on the season!

Yes, but in Carter's defense...I got nothin.

Nothing about DOC on that play should be looked down upon. However the body of work from DOC last night isn’t great. 9 or 10 goals in 100 games. Dudes on fire.

I missed the first period (as always, one of my kids had hockey practice), but looks like Shea was close to benched in the 2nd and 3rd. He must have been bad in the first. Maybe POJ will return to the lineup when healthy?

On the flip side, Ludvig was getting some prime ice time and continued to look good.

I agree that his teammates do seem to love him. They looked genuinely happy for him when he scored his first goal of the season after 20 games.

Nobody comes close to loving DOC as much as you hate him around here hahaha its not even close. Im pretty sure everyone here thinks he should be in bottom 6. However, he hasnt really looked out of place in top 6 that much when asked to be there.


Of the 15 forwards to play for the Pens so far this season at 5 on 5 DOC is:

2nd in CF% (higher than anyone not named Sidney)
6th in xGF% (higher than Geno, Smith, Eller, Harkins, etc)
8th in HDSC% (higher than Geno and Smith) Harkins is 1st in this.
9th in points per 60 mins (higher than Rak, Harkins, Carter)

Solid seats to see some Pens history in the making.

"Yeah but how many of those goals was he directly responsible for? How many was he way away from the play from? This number means nothing."

A knack for scoring big goals? I mean I guess 100% of his goals on the season are game winners!

All our bad players for Boeser I presume?

I'm starting to believe Hextall signed him to help the tank. He's been effective.
