But like in the salary cap era, what star center has had a better linemate? McDavid has had Drai on and off. Bergeron had Marchand. Stammer never really played with Kuch. Prime Toews didn’t really play with Kane. I’m struggling to come up with many examples.

How's the WT 70th? I heard it was really good for the price, like a high-end 101 at Rare Breed price.

That’s exactly what it is. I love me some rare bread and I really enjoyed the 70th if you can find it at MSRP it’s a definite buy. I’ll probably try to snag a few more bottles as backup. I’m also a big WT fan too though. Probably my second favorite distillery after BT.

Not to go all Grinder, but it sucks this team has zero players that are hard to play against other than Crosby. No one in games like tonight that you can send out to hit some guys and just keep a pulse on the team. Teams need to be skilled, big, or fast. We are none of them.

If I can find it I'll definitely buy it. Not sure how rare it'll be.

Can't wait to hear Sully talk about "playing the right way" after his team bleeds a dozen odd-man breaks.

Hey, at least we're only 0-2 on the PP.

So of course they get another PP and give up a shorty after I post this.

OK, 0-3 with a shorty against is just as bad as last year.

When your arrogance tells you you can still go toe-to-toe with teams like the Rangers, this is the result you will get more times than not.

I am too hard on Jarry. This defense, especially in terms of odd man rushes and front of net defense is absolutely horrible.

Nowhere to go but up.

Let's see what Bloomquist can do tomorrow.

I said a month, or so, ago a slaughtering by the Rags was very possible for opening night...

Started the night strong, got stone walled by Igor, Jarry let in crap, the D was loose and their heads folded in around the 3-0 deficit.

I think this is the most appropriate perspective. Welcome to the 02-03 penguins from here on out.

This was an inch away from being 7-0. Everything for the rags was crisp while we were missing passes, missing the net, and falling all over the ice. The 3rd line was definitely the best tonight. The PP is a carbon copy from last year… maybe worse?

Where did everyone’s preseason positivity go?

It’s only 1 game. Give them a chance.

Sully’s system is just ass and is not working with this team. Stretched so thin with no legs to recover.

Been saying this for four years. It's not just tending. It's systematic. They try to play like it's 8 years ago and the coach doesn't see a problem.
