Hat trick might be fun that night though

I wish we could score 3 goals.

I think alts have to be used for at least 3 years so definitely not before that. With FSG in charge then, it’s possible.

Reverse retros lasted one year

I can't seem to find the "rules" but every team is allowed a home, away, and an alt jersey. There are special exceptions made for special event jerseys such as Winter Classic, Stadium Series, anniversary jerseys, etc. Since RR was a league-wide initiative, it didn't fall under the alt jersey rules.

Ahh interesting

In 4 of the first 5 games, pens scored 4 or more goals (6, 4, 5, 7)

In the 19 games since, they've done it 3 times (4, 6, 4)

On the season:
0 goals: 1x (0-1-0)
1 goal: 6x (1-3-2)
2 goals: 5x (2-2-1)
3 goals: 4x (2-2-0)
4+ goals: 7x (5-0-2)

Interesting that over half of the games are 2 or less goals... not a winning recipe.

[MR25]

Is interesting that they still managed 3 wins and 3 loser points in those games though. Jarry (and to a lesser extent, the D) have been doing a pretty great job, but obviously not ideal circumstances.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Roster seems pretty weak of all the Sid era teams but I still maintain that we’re a dangerous team in the playoffs due to our star power at the top. Also while he hasnt shown it in the playoffs, I do think Jarry is capable of a 2016-2018 Murray type run

I think the challenge is making sure we make the playoffs but I think we at least have a punchers chance if we get in

Evan Rodrigues' goal Saturday was the 13850th in the history of the Pens. His 16 goals represent 0.11% of the 13852 total goals.

For comparison, Crosby's 488th (team 13852nd) puts him at 3.52% of team goals. Mario's 690 is 4.98%. (10026 was the total goals as of Mario's final game, or 6.88% at the time - Mario's final goal was the 9991st in team history - the 2nd goal in the Crosby shootout winner against Montreal on 11-10-2005)

Assuming a full season this year, someone will score the 14000th goal in team history this season. 148 to go, with 61 games to go, at 2.905 goals for per game - would be 177 more goals expected.

Love stuff like this. Thanks rel

[Gaucho]

Nice bonus opportunity, @Orlando Penguin. My pick for #1400 is Geno.

Remember: Pens - Caps is only on Hulu/ESPN+. No local broadcast available.

https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/2021 ... v-feed-tlh

Friday's game will be the first NHL on ESPN broadcast with a "Megacast," the ability to choose between different ESPN-produced feeds. In addition to the main, standard broadcast, viewers have the option to choose a "Star Watch" alternate feed that will have isolated cameras and stats on Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin all game.

Bob Wischusen will be the play-by-play broadcaster for the game, along with analyst Ray Ferraro. Emily Kaplan will be the rinkside reporter. Arda Ocal, Rick DiPietro, and John Tortorella will be the in-studio analysts.

[NTP66]

I'll finally be able to watch a game live. Tired of this 10pm bullshit.

[Lelldorin]

Time to sell high on Rodriguez? Or perhaps other GM's are not fooled by his numbers and he would net a bag of pucks in return He seems kind of useful so far...

[NTP66]

I swear I'm not being held hostage, but I wouldn't trade him right now.

[mikey]

Yeah, I mean, I would listen obviously...but on a roster like this, I don't mess with what's reasonably working. His game is hollow and incomplete, but the devil you know...

We didn't keep Andy Hilbert either...

[Gaucho]

No trade value imo.

So does this mean ESPN+ only or do we have the option of watching on ESPN?

[bhflyhigh]

Been pretty disappointed with ESPN+ app thus far.
Biggest Gripes
- There's no option to start at the beginning of a game easily.
- The layout of the main screen is horrendous. Why can't I have a tailored page with only what I want on it?

The NHL tv app was far superior. IDK why it was abandoned.

Video quality is still an issue, as well.

online ONLY. you cannot watch this on cable or satellite ESPN. I hate this because I like to surf around during commercials and the streaming thing makes that harder.

[faftorial]

That blows. I'll miss this game then.

[the wicked child]

First game I ever attended.

[Gaucho]

Spoiled for life.

I had no idea that Kings fans call Carter "Dad."

**** kill me.

[shafnutz05]

I had no idea that Kings fans call Carter "Dad."

Why does it only have to be Kings fans?

He can be our Dad too. And he's a productive dad!
