I don’t know if is sustainable, but damn. I sure didn’t see this coming. Kindel walks into the NHL and looks like a 5 year vet at 18.

Me and Feds were talking about that today. Pens and Red Wings both in 1st place in their division. What is it, 2009?
I think their are aspects of this play that are sustainable but in my opinion it’s going to come down to goaltending and the special teams. PP and PK are clicking right now and both goalies are playing really well and doing a great job of making the first save, and not having to make that second save because our D is clearing it from the front.
Honestly, the last few games have reminded me of the 2015-16 Pens where they would just trade chances with the other teams and normally come out on top. Their shot share is usually on the wrong side of where you want to be, but their quality chances are exactly where we want to be.
I’ve only seen a couple games but their team play has looked much better, which obviously helps stop hanging out the goalies. And kudos to black Jarry, he’s doing his part. The kindel line has been dominating.
These next 5 games will be a good test though. I don’t think a 106 pdo is sustainable.

The process right now is quite good and there’s no quit. Even if we’re generally outplayed, we’ll turn it up and absolutely dominate for a stretch and get on the board. As you say, high danger chances are where you want them to be so it’s not like we’re getting buried and then lucking into cheap goals that are inflating our win percentage. We aren’t dominant and susceptible to losing the flow of momentum, but we are resilient as hell and playing good system hockey. That should generally be sustainable.
What I’m not sure is sustainable is the conditioning. Our stars and core are super old and Kindle is 18 and brand new to the grueling pace of the nhl season, as the geezers and the kid start to get miles on their tires, play could seriously drop

I’m not worried about PDO right now. Goaltending could take a bit of a dip and we’d still be perfectly fine.
One thing that I think will benefit a team of old guys and rookies is that fact muse is actually rolling 4 lines. That’s a lot of miles over the course of the year not on sod and Geno.

Sully was notorious for rolling 4 lines, even in the most inopportune times — but Muse actually has 4 lines playing well. It’s the D/Goalies we have to worry about.
I’m honestly surprised by where we are in the standings considering the D we have and Jarry is still playing half the games. Pleasant surprise though.
Hope Geno plays another year, provided he keeps up solid play. Even old Gemini’s gonna be a massive hole to fill. Ovi seems to have fell off a cliff this year.
I wish Grinder was here to tell me why Ben Kindel sucks.
Hahaha there’s definitely some interesting takes we are missing out on
I wish Grinder was here to tell me why Ben Kindel sucks.
This kid is the real deal. Dubas stole him in the draft. Get him a real winger.
I wish Grinder was here to tell me why Ben Kindel sucks.
Lol…just reuse any of the plethora of reasons why Geno or Jake suck.
I’m overjoyed to admit I was dead f’n wrong about that pick. Whoever scouted Kindel and talked us into taking him absolutely nailed it. Kid is gonna be special.
Anyone else feel like we’re playing last year’s Pens in Blue jerseys tonight. Man the Leafs look dead and buried.

Yes! Although they haven’t given us 10 odd-man breaks. They look like a team whose window has closed.
Spoke too soon. The Pens from last season showed up.
Yeah, I jinxed the hell out of that. Just glad Matt’s not around to yell at me for it lol.
Despite the horrible 3rd period, still came away with one small positive…the absolute attitude adjustment. For way too many years in games like that needed a goal in the 3rd it was:
Sully “you kids might as well hit the showers now because you ain’t sniffing the ice again tonight”Now it’s:
Muse “you kids keep taking your regular shifts and in fact, let’s double shift the 18 year old with Sid or Geno and send him out there when we pull the goalie”.
