I wouldn't be surprised to see the Penguins come out strong for 10 minutes because they're pissed about their situation. Play the perfect boring road game, then slip a goal past us... and the rest if history. They'll be in a haze and fall completely apart.

Subbing Peeke for a "struggling" Marchenko ?? You better check that. Peeke is bad at D, and even weaker at O.
Plus, benching the #3 scorer on the team ?? Maybe Vincent didn't like Kiril's no-look pass to Chinakhov for the goal a couple of nights ago. Too much Harlem Globetrotter-ish. Kiril has 3 pts in the last 5 games. Not Nylander red-hot, but still getting on the score sheet.

Jackets are clearly trying to showcase and sell Peeke, only plausible explanation.

Yes - showcasing Peeke for a trade is plausible. But - There are plenty of other, less qualified, candidates Vincent could have chosen to sit out. That was a "winnable" game if we'd have given it our best shot - but sitting the #3 scorer on the team, with "tired legs" as he said, was not a prudent decision.

I really question some of Vincent's assest management in the last couple of months.
It makes me wonder if he's the right coach to take this team forward.
