GDT #71: Pens vs Canes

:: Hockey sense issues This is an interesting subject to me. I think often we say this, but it’s pretty black and white you know? Player either has hockey sense or doesn’t. But in reality it’s a spectrum of hockey sense. It seems like a lot of guys with crappy hockey sense are able to carve out dece...

Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

Anyone else concerned about the Center situation? Looking around, they have to draft a C in the 1st or 2nd round, don't they? The free agents all look very meh (except Connor Williams, who tore his ACL late last year), and we've currently got, who, Herbig? on the roster. Problem with drafting one i...

Puljujarvi gotta realize that he’s really big …and the only way he stays in the league is to play big. He played that way last night. If he makes it a habit, he’s a good find

Rust is moving into his old house. I don’t think there was ever any intention of coming back.

Also, that quote is sort of annoying from Jake. He intention was to stay if he was paid what he wanted.

I'll be honest, I didn't see Poulin one time in this game...
He, Gruden, and Puuljarvi had some good shifts early in the game then he didn’t see the ice I think for at least the last 28 minutes

I don’t think they pouted. I just think they realized the season was essentially over and then just backed off a half a gear. And since with this team everything is always on a knife’s edge, not playing near 100 percent effort is gonna lead to chunks of losses

Also, jfc Ryan Graves is two years older than I thought he was.
Yes, he will be 33 I believe in the last year of his contract. At this pace though, he’s gonna be a buyout after next season

This isn't a "gotcha" because our PP is fundamentally bad. That exact combination was tried for over 12 minutes (6+ power plays) and generated: You guessed it...0 goals. (And "narrowly" outshot opponents 11 to 4 in that time) Bunting has not been tried in that combination. That combination of playe...

I still don’t understand why the staff has never thought about going with Sid, Ek, Geno, Letang, and Jake (Bunting) on the 1st unit. Letang in the Kessel spot just makes way too much sense to me

It still all comes back to the PP for me. Not being able to figure out a way to get your top players out there together in a well functioning group was the death knell for the team, both standing wise and emotionally

There is literally no point in hoping to lose...I understand our pick is top 10 protected. But if that's the case, then it's our 2025 pick that goes. And we can't guarantee that will be better for us. Basically, without total control of your first round picks, you can't even root for that video gam...

Geno hasn’t played well but keeping him on the second PP for half of the season seems to have destroyed any spirit he has. It’s a failure of coaching not to get that powerplay at least semi resembling anything good

It’s still a laughable concept that the coaching staff has had the PPs split for the second half of the season. Just poor player management and inability to create a structured powerplay over the course of an entire season
