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.
I’m not worried about PDO right now. Goaltending could take a bit of a dip and we’d still be perfectly fine.
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.
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
