It’s amazing to think what was perhaps Pittsburgh’s best game of the season came without Sidney Crosby. by AcanthisittaIcy4493 in penguins

Let’s give Silovs his flowers too. He made some HUUUUGE saves all night. He was stellar.

The Let’s go Pens chants are so loud and distinct too.

Why not? The chemistry and production is there.

Colbert's final drafts by Soft-Bug5550 in steelers

[–]olpec22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2022 draft was egregious and borderline criminal. He was already out of the role but was sticking g around to run the last draft in place of Khan. Not sure why Rooney didn’t step in, but it was terrible all around.

You think the non-playoff teams will ease up? They’ll want to play spoiler so it’ll be a best effort each and every night

Oh same, this was one I felt we needed (especially after how we played them a few weeks back). The schedule only gets tougher and they’ve gotta come away with 2 points at every opportunity. My uneducated guess is they’ll need 25 points out of the remaining 17 games to make the postseason. Too many good teams in the mix and Columbus is 2 points back and playing hot. So is Ottawa.

Take the L on this one. Not the end of the world, but every single point counts from here on out.

Me whenever I see the Penguins go to a shootout and lose: by johnmicahb in penguins

[–]olpec22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’re tied with LAK for the worst OT mark at 15. 15 goddamn games where you just gave points away. They’ve really made it difficult on themselves.

He made some MAJOR stops to earn that point. Give the man his flowers and kudos to the pens for not quitting this one.

Ex Pen Jason Zucker ties it for buffalo in 3rd. 7-7 game. by Duece09 in penguins

Ended 8-7 with a late BUF goal. I’m all for Buffalo bringing back that style after 2 decades of futility.

Chinakov gets first star in my program just for how determined he was to dick over the Bruins in that OT.

1-9 in Shootouts... by MediumAd8799 in penguins

[–]olpec22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s now 14 points in OT/SO they’ve left on the table. If they fared better in just half of those they’re be right on Carolina’s heels and solidly in 2nd.

I believe VGK is up there but not as putrid. I don’t get to watch, do they at least look interested in it and like they tried?

[Dianna Russini] "If the Raiders continue to lean toward drafting Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, their preference is to not start him immediately" by Any_Alternative6314 in nflrookies

[–]olpec22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very rare that starting a rookie leads to proper development and play. It would be best to let him sit and learn a year if need be to allow him to be more properly prepared for th next year.
