Especially when you're known to blow leads regularly, anyway hahah

A 4-1 blown lead isn’t as bad as Buffalo at least, and they’re 15 years into their rebuild.

Really glad we had the goalless in a hundred games Drew O Connor out there on the last shift of regulation.

They flipped the script hahaha unreal

Not a work of art, but fun game. Some great goals by the Pens.

Good entertainment, yup.

Gryz is so bad. Shelter him in the 3rd pair or scratch him.

And what is nieto doing to keep a spot?

Pickering and tomasino (young guys) giving this roster a little boost. Learn from it instead of playing washed up vets.

It's fun for once to get a young guy somebody else buried and actually play them. Early, but Tomasino looking like a nice little pick-up.

He is an old vet. That is all.

This is why I would just prefer they win, try to win, and always want them to win hahaha....no f'n guarantee in rebuilds and the Pens have been super lucky with drafts after bottoming out. Chances of them lucking out again are probably slim, but who knows. They're currently in the playoff mix with 5 months of regular season left haha

It's crazy that with how bad this team has played, we are just one point out from a playoff spot (albeit with games in hand). Still a league worst goal differential at -27!?!?!

It's nice seeing some wins. Happy that Jarry has regained some level of competency.

I recall getting chirped here for being so high on Pickering after we drafted him... They are really sheltering him but he is looking like an NHL player right now. Hopefully they keep sitting Graves.

Both my boys had hockey practice last night. We got home just as OT started, put that on, saw Rusty score -- then I said "wait, they outshot us 41-16 and we made it to OT?"

WTF happened in that game? I watched the 5-min recap but mostly that just showed the goals.

Pickering and Tomasino provides a blueprint for Dubas - keep giving chances to young guys in WBS and hope they run with it and keep looking at the trade market for young players that are struggling with their current team. I'd rather spend a draft pick on one of those guys than taking our chances in the draft.

As much as I joke about the Penguins getting a lottery pick, we are right there in the wild card race (granted teams above us have played less games) so we cannot just mail it in.

Pens beat the Stanley Cup champs and are now in the true contenders conversation....jk

They were majorly outplayed, Jarry was dialed the F in. Knight wasn't very good but also the Pens had some traffic around net and made it hard on him on two of their goals and the other two regulation goals, by Geno and Petts, were beauty plays.

Weird game. I didn't think FLA brought their "typical" game in the first two periods. They weren't real physical and didn't camp out in front of the net much. Not looking at the stats, but I thought most of their shots were long range. Not taking away from Jarry, he definitely made some good saves. Third period was a different story. FLA was dominant. If that game had 5 more minutes of 5v5, they would have won. Rusty with a nice snipe in OT.

Go find a replay of the Petts goal.

Panthers were definitely pretty perimeter last night, especially first two periods.

I think they took the game lightly while the Pens got some great goals. Then they had to play catch-up in the third. Penguins followed that same script in years past.

Yeah, I watched the 5-min recap with all the goals. Once per year Petts gets a goal like that, then never tries anything like it again all year.

they had 17 scoring chances, and 13 high danger chances in the first 2 periods -- which would beg the differ that they were perimeter, I thought the Pens were in the game largely because Jarry played well until they broke him in the 3rd.

Well I watched and it didn't seem they had that many HD's in the first 2 periods...also the shot heat map kinda aligns with not a whole a lot of chances right on doorstep or in slot, more so a lot of shots from all over the place.

Sid’s line got hemmed in the zone 3 different times by Florida’s 4th line. Panthers were definitely the better team all night.
