Official GDT: Game 16 - Pens vs Devils - 11/13/18 7:08pm EST

on goals 1 and 3 Letang hung his D partner out to dry. on both goals all I thought was, "where the hell was 58??"
Letang was -4. I think overall Letang's been better this season but lately he's taking chances at all the wrong times.

Letang has gone from having a pretty heady partner in Dumo - who would stand in the crease if the coaches let him - to being the brains of the operation with Johnson. That's.....not good.

I've actually liked the Wilson - Cullen - ZAR line.

Yeah, they get to the cycle game...they finish shifts in the attack zone...Wilson is one of the few bullies we have...I'm pretty good with it...

Wasn't one of those caused by Jack Johnson having an open pass to Kessel streaking, but instead threw it back into his own corner?

Kind of telling that Letang, who has played well with Dumoulin this year, suddenly looks terrible when he has to play with the **** idiot Jack Johnson.

Get rid of Johnson and I think you solve most of this team's issues.

Yeah he's really good at hitting a guy that just had a puck. Really helps with that black hole of a bottom 6 in terms of scoring.

[mikey]

You're not wrong in your point either...

Johnson leaves Letang out to dry on goal 1...Letang bites off more than he can chew trying to keep a play alive and no one covers for him...Dumo thinks he can jump it and couldn't against a much higher skill player...I would hang the scarlet letter on Letang for goal 3...not so sure that he gets that big of a dart from me on goal 1 just going from memory...

[Gaucho]

Sullivan seems to really like Johnson, which, sadly, and I hate to say it, makes him part of the problem.

[the wicked child]

So the Pens own the Western Conference, but suck vs their own Division. Not a great tradeoff.
