GDT #56: Pens @ Canucks

[shoeshine boy]

Lol Geno

Was that legit holding? It didn’t look like it in arena. I was trying to see the replay but a couple of hammered dudes in front of me made that difficult.

Stat question - my dad is wondering if there’s a stat out there that compares Pens offensive zone time vs opponents offensive zone time. Where would I find that?

It wasn't gonna be, but he followed through a pulled him down on his way down. Fistful of jersey.

Tell the Green Men to go elsewhere.

NHL Edge has that I believe. There are team stats, not who can skate 22 MPH as opposed to 21.5...

They didn’t show up until the start of the 2nd. They left at the end of the period and I’m hoping they’ll stay at the bar for the 3rd.

Also, I know - graphically (?) - Letang looks at fault for that Miller shorthanded goal...but that's a tough play all around. Letang actually is going to win the puck battle, but Miller knocks it down with almost a high stick behind Letang's back and it lands perfectly for him.

Ideally, Lars Eller identifies that there's a potential problem brewing there and helps to provide some support.

Gracias. Even strength, Pens have it 41.6% in zone vs 39.8% for opponents.

[mikey]

Yeah, not surprised...by basically every metric, we're one of the better teams in the NHL. Except, ya know, the power play...

[mikey]

Second decent hands play from Acciari in this one...

[The U]

The Risk/Reward meter is broken on a few Penguins.

[Orlando Penguin]

I really dislike Karlsson

[mikey]

Now that's a bad power play...

[shoeshine boy]

I really dislike Karlsson

Welcome to the club. I’m going to have jackets made…..

[crusherstasiak]

yay

[mikey]

What an interesting sequence that turned out to be. Nice setup from Puustinen who continues to play well except for - ironically - his ability to finish chances...

[Orlando Penguin]

Superb puck pursuit by DOC and then such good puck possession. We deserved that one.

[crusherstasiak]

just send sids line out with petey and letang

At this point just swap him with Smith so he can set up the only goal-scorers on the team in Sid and Raks

[nocera]

I expected 0 points. I’m happy with 1. 2 would be well. This team is battling.

[King Colby]

Bigtime point there
