Pens 2025 over/under: 90.5

The power play wasn't just ineffective at scoring. They allowed far too many shorthanded goals. I would expect a small improvement in both the former and the latter. Plus, I believe a couple of teams in the conference will take a step back this season. I predict they will finish with 96 points.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Now isn't the time to trade Jarry. I think if Blomqvist proves he's NHL ready next season and the team doesn't make the playoffs, I would look to move one of the goalies at the deadline, but even so, we saw how little market value there was for goalies at this past season's deadline. Now, next seaso...

Randomness Dos

There was somehow still a GameStop open in the mall long after nearly every other store left. It was definitely eerie going in there. Plenty of buckets to catch the dripping water from the ceiling too. I live a mile from the Pittsburgh Mills mall. There's a small handful of stores still open, but i...

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

There will be changes. There's no need to fire Flat Stanley because his contract runs out anyway. I like the fact that Dubas acknowledged Graves's play and called him out, but he claimed that he was a very good player for NJ and COL, which I believe to be stretching the truth a little. Graves was ne...

Bunting finished with 19 points in 21 games as a Penguin. He's certainly found a home here.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Smith will find a new home somewhere. He's a good hockey player, but not ideal for this team. I believe EK will have a better season next year. I don't know what the hell you do with Graves. It wouldn't be that bad to buy him out a year from now, but they're stuck with him next season unless someone...

A great third liner and a defenseman who can take the #4 spot with 58, 65, and 28

Dubas should be able to obtain players such as this... but Smith and Graves were bad acquisitions, so who knows.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

The Pens have had the best record in the NHL for a significant stretch of games, so that's something to build on. I think a few of the players who stepped up during this time (DOC, POJ) have solidified roles for next season. Bunting proved to be a valuable acquisition who has fit in nicely here. 87,...

They still have a shot. Going into tonight, they had very little margin for error, and they spent that. Now, there is no margin. Gotta go 2 for 2.

I like Karlsson, and I expect him to be better on the power play next season after some changes are made. I think one year from now we'll like that acquisition a little more.

I agree with the assessment of JSI. While he doesn't have a high ceiling, he could become a solid bottom pair defenseman. Ruhwedel carved out a niche for himself in a similar fashion. Maybe JSI can become the new Chad.

Take the Win. They're not all pretty. The goal was 2 points Absolutely. Both teams played a sloppy game, and in games like that you just hope to sneak out of there with the deuce, which they did. The big takeaway for me was that they finally won a game 3 on 3. We all said that EK can look atrocious...

He should have also played some of the four pucks that went through him tonight...
Two in particular.

If I'm coaching hockey at any level, I am not losing in sudden death with Sidney F'n Crosby sitting on the bench.
