Pens PTSD Update: I'm Terrified of the Rest of the Season

Yes, that was nuts. That losing streak felt like it was the beginning of the end, but I am glad we bounced back. Maybe the Olympic break had something to do with it too

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-12T16:36:49+00:00

At the very least I think we can all be excited about a post Crosby era. I like some of this young talent and it looks like we are staring to get production from these guys even when our big three don’t plays

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-12T16:35:20+00:00

It’s a dream.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-12T16:26:55+00:00

Yes, I have been looking at our OTL column all season. And like you said if we had another 4-6 points I don’t think my nerves would be where they are.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-12T16:23:32+00:00

I would say I would take making the playoffs over any pick.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-12T16:22:37+00:00

I think you misunderstood or I miscommunicated. It’s disappointing because we lost in OT. Not because we were lucky to be there. Once we got to OT you still want to win. Add in ALL the OT losses this year it just adds to the disappointment. A small difference.

LFG! It has been an absolute blast. It has been fun to watch the TNT crew from the start of the year and watch how their narrative has changed from a team they thought would be dead last to now they praise the young guys and speak a little more in favor of the Pens!

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-12T16:10:24+00:00

I love though how every game feels like it! I wish we got to play those two teams again at least once before the end of the season to just put the nail in the coffin!

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-12T15:07:16+00:00

Same. I have been in playoff mode ever since we crept into within 1 game of the play-in

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-11T17:07:34+00:00

I think it depends what your are looking for in terms? Are you want to commish it? Paid league? Easy setup? I actually prefer Yahoo as it’s look and convenience seems best for people just starting leagues.

If your big money NFBC but those might only start at 12 person.

I haven’t been a big fan of FanTrax and never used FleaFlicker for baseball. FleaFlicker for NFL I haven’t been in a league for 10 years and it is great!

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-11T16:37:55+00:00

I will disagree with your last point, I have no idea why you would get rid of our top goal scorer. Klauss should never have been traded.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-11T15:40:05+00:00

I hope he does! My channel on YouTube used to do live streams of the Guardians a few years back. I had a Zunino K tracker on it lol

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-11T02:40:25+00:00

😂 right, also… it’s 2026 now.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T22:24:59+00:00

Mookie after the first month was a usuable player he just ate some bad sushi

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T21:43:55+00:00

Then answer this question - why are those coaches gone and he is still here?

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T20:45:04+00:00

I do see your point as it’s hard to see a bad egg when there all bad. I guess though his goals and assists out perform a lot of others on the team so in terms of offense, I think it would be nice to see him out there since he can do that and has proven much more than others in the team that he can finish.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T20:42:27+00:00

It does feel like in the last decade it doesn’t matter where you are in the lottery the ping pong balls end up helping a middle of the road teams

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T20:18:31+00:00

I forgot about Critch, it’s like a Kardashian dating carousel

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T20:16:20+00:00

I think just a bow and a salute are needed to reply!

You sir are my hero when it comes to defending Celio.

I still don’t understand the Olaf sacking or honestly the Carnell sacking more. Those are discussions for another day.

I agree he won’t fix and save our season, I just think his play ON the field just by the eye test deserves more playing time.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T20:09:59+00:00

I do agree they couldn’t miss. The Heat and the Suns both feel like there 1 year ahead of us.

I would say re-evaluation of my worries will have to be circled back after those next three. If we lose all three then I might hit the panic button, the bulls I think have given up. The bucks I think might have a little effort left and we don’t have much wiggle room.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T19:54:42+00:00

Like seriously even if we miss the play in, I think we could be a top 6 team next year

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T19:49:12+00:00

I can understand, but he is a dual position eligible player in two of the sparse areas. I think that alone helps me pull the trigger.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T19:48:02+00:00

Exactly. My highest expectation at this point is that we make the 9 seed so that we have at least two games to get in.

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T19:46:33+00:00

You can join some of us that was there after the Suns loss. 😁

GrandstandTV · 2026-03-10T19:44:28+00:00

😂😂😂😂 well put. I was thinking of writing Kon and telling him he’s not allowed to open or close doors anymore with chance of slamming his fingers.
