@AricoDX @Ndhehehjshshsh @_j_a_k_e_d Way softer players than him. Either way he's a 4C probably plays like 10min

@BlogPenguins @Ndhehehjshshsh @_j_a_k_e_d Hayes is the softest player in the league

Chinakhov is better than every forward on the Flyers😭

@DabbyDuck5 @Ndhehehjshshsh @_j_a_k_e_d No one said he's good just he's able to throw his body around lol

@BlogPenguins @Ndhehehjshshsh @_j_a_k_e_d Hayes 😭😭😭😭😭

@Ndhehehjshshsh @_j_a_k_e_d We have have Soberblom 6"8, Mantha 6"6, Brazreau 6"6, St-Ivany 6"4, Hayes 6"3. Most of our roster is all 6"+

@_j_a_k_e_d Flyers are a good team I’m afraid they are going to be super physical

@gpelvin If you exclude shootouts the pens are 2-0 vs the flyers. We suck at shootouts 3-10 but if we count reg time + OT we are 2-0-2. Flyers haven't won without a SO this szn vs the Pens

Have to make the playoffs first, and that is far from done. But if Flyers get third in the Metro, I'd like them against the Penguins. Crosby aside, I'd give the Flyers the advantage in net and from a depth perspective, and I think the Pens have too many guys having anomaly years

@gpelvin @Kaden_Toombs87 Vladar has 2 playoff games. Skinner has played in 2 finals lol. He might not be the best goalie but he knows what it takes to get there and will feel less pressure. Vladar has to come in and play out of his mind every game vs one of the best offensive teams in the league

@Kaden_Toombs87 Yeah, I think it is a tight series and Pens would have best player, home ice, and an advantage on special teams. Just unsure about the goaltending and some of the players having good years in the playoffs. Vladar has been a rock.

@JoshYohe_PGH Remove the WC system lol. Boston should be ahead of us. Anyways to your point we're only competing with NYI, CBJ and Ottawa really. Rn we're at 71% chance to make the playoffs while CBJ and Ott are at 50%

We have never seen anything like this.

That 2nd goal allowed by Jarry is just... He's out of position not hugging the post. Just watching Nylander skate around with the puck. Slow reaction just as always.

@SlappyOBrien @THEToddRose @bobgrove91 The numbers don't lie. He let in 3 goals on 14 shots. I mean 14 shots allowed is not a lot.

@THEToddRose @bobgrove91 Blaming the goalie entirely for a total team collapse is like blaming the QB for a loss when the offense puts up 35 and the defense gives up 42

40 terrific minutes wasted by a complete defensive meltdown in the third.

@JoshYohe_PGH Time to send him down again. We have 3 better goalies

Jarry allows a soft one, and now the game has completely changed. 3-2 with 15:13 remaining.

3 goals allowed on 14 shots. Jarry just can't make a save when needed. Getting tired of seeing the same thing with him year after year

@JoshYohe_PGH I said it before the season started. I can see this team push for WC 2

The Penguins:

@_bdool @nhlpens @DidPengWin They have Igor bailing them out. With Jarry we would have been worse

@nhlpens @DidPengWin Whatever the Rangers record is right now 😂

What would the Penguins record be right now if it was last year's coaching staff still behind the bench?

@nhlpens Like 2-4-2 or something

@Flux_cc @_j_a_k_e_d How bout them Penguins 😂

@_j_a_k_e_d If we can take down Florida on Thursday, or even keep it close, I might start to get delusional and believe.

Not only are the Penguins 7th in the NHL, they have won all 5 games in Regulation which could be big for tiebreakers down the road should they actually somehow keep this up

Happy for Jarry but also happy we don't have to rely on him. He can help us right now but once he starts being bad again, we no longer have to play him. Silvos being the starter and Blomq being able to comeback once healthy gives us that flexibility.

@DaddieTechno @TweetenSteven @soIoucity There's so much talent in the NHL. Even the bad teams like Buffalo have lots of talent. Just mismanaged by ownership

@TweetenSteven @soIoucity 24 teams and there is no “Bottom 6”, you’d have talent up and down the lineup and even the worst teams would have entertaining games. …but a bunch of billionaires would make a little less money so CAN’T HAVE THAT!

Counterpoint. Does the nhl really need 36 teams?

Good passing but gotta shoot the puck at a certain point especially with a tired ducks group out there. Don't want to do too much

I'm not sure about that call. Looked like Mantha jumped the gun there

@NikitaBlyatsev @Partyforparlay @FBGreatMoments It's just cause you gotta pay so much to get all the right packages, channels and all that which costs 300$+ when you can just watch for free online. The NHL just needs to remove restrictions and make it cheaper. More ppl would pay to watch

@Partyforparlay @FBGreatMoments 44% because they have small TV deals by comparison to the other sports. That and it makes no sense for people to get TV packages like Sportsnet. If Canada has NHL.tv it'd be tempting. Love hockey but the tickets are more expensive than MLB or other sports too.

How each sports league makes money.

@jetscap @Partyforparlay @FBGreatMoments I disagree. Playoff hockey on TV is a better product than any other sport. It's just the NHL sucks at marketing it's sport

@Partyforparlay @FBGreatMoments The love isn't because ticket sales are 44%. The 44% ticket sales means the sport itself is a better live product than television. That's not a bad thing. It just is.
