PGH Pens

Told my self I’d keep this pinned until the pens made the playoffs again…let’s just say I thought it’d be up much much longer #flipthescript #believe #letsgopens

@MolinariPGH Not sure about this Crosby guy

For the first time in years I don’t think the Bruins will be taking over KeyBank Center

@HunterHodies They’re gonna score 3 goals in the opening period and 6+ total this weekend

At the end of the day, this is basically a meaningless preseason game. I'd be surprised if this team doesn't come out revved up on Saturday/Sunday.

Nightmare matchups for Utah in their first postseason appearance. Vegas seems to have found it and has a pretty good lineup on paper. Then you have the Oilers who have been to two straight cup finals…

This game is making me feel a little better about A. Hayes. I’d love to see him in a game against the Flyers

You know what give me Oilers-Kings why not 😭

@_j_a_k_e_d You know I hate how honest you are…it kinda makes me mad bc I know it’s true

The Penguins have given up more goals than every team in the east besides Toronto and Floida. If the Penguins get this type of goaltending, they are losing to Philly.

@Cory_Tucek Dream scenario: pens go down 2-1 because of bad goaltending…enter Murashov and becomes the next Matt Murray except his career ends like Vasy

If you’re trying to give Crosby a real shot at a Stanley Cup, Murashov is your starter. It’s too late now, but they should have made the move in March.

Yeah this game is not helping my confidence on the goaltending situation

@TheDanKingerski Eh I don’t like splitting up Braz and Mantha

Saturday, keep Elmer with Kindel. Doooo it. That was a sick move

@JoshYohe_PGH opinion on this goaltending change? This doesn’t change anything does it?

Uhhhhhhhh

@DKPghSports Sure I’d be fine with him playing in a series against the flyers but when it comes to the Canes or Bolts you just can’t have him out there

Kevin Hayes' fingerprints are all over this game so far. He's 6-0 in draws, two assists, seems to have the puck on his stick every time he's out there. He was great in the Capitals games too. How do you take him out? -- From Taylor Haase in St. Louis

My lines for game 1: 59-87-17 18-67-71 39-81-16 25-46-55 (Alt 4th line w/o Lizzo: 25-55-85) 28-65 49-58 5-75 74 39 Offensive depth (when healthy): 1. Dewar 2. A. Hayes 3. McGroarty 4. K. Hayes Defensive depth: 1. Solovyov 2. St. Ivany 3. Graves

Holy shit Elmer…you CANNOT take this guy out on Saturday

@_j_a_k_e_d If I’m being honest home ice isn’t all that important to me. Pens are a better away team and being able to steal one in the first two games to come home with the opportunity to go up 3-1 is better. Obviously if it gets to game 7 that’s the disadvantage

The kids are out tonight!

With the Final Guess the First Goal Scorer we have a sole 1st place winner!! Congratulations to @josh_jorajuria Everyone please give him a follow. There will be a completely new leaderboard starting Game 1 of the playoffs. Thank you all for participating! Hope to see you in playoffs. #LetsGoPens
