    Enjoyable game from start to finish. Unlike the past few seasons, at no point was I waiting for the inevitable choke and loss. 81 More like that winning close to half and I think it would be a successful season.

    Still not sold on the pick, but Kindel definitely has a high hockey IQ. If he puts in the work on his skating, we might have something there. 2nd line looked great, although they didn’t have to do much back checking.

    And I almost feel bad for Rags fans…tonight they will experience their inaugural “I thought we played well, just have to get to our game” presser. Hopefully one of many lol.

    Pens played one of their best games in years. Every phase was just better. Puck support was amazing. I don’t even remember the last time they played like that. The breakouts were tremendous. I don’t think they gave up one odd-man break the whole game….wow. Eff Sully. He got 5 years more than he should. Looks like the Rangers caught the Sully flu…..’cause they sucked. That teams window has slammed shut.

    Somewhere Grinder is drinking Busch light and smiling ear to ear after beating Sullivan like that to open the season

    It’s only one game but if they can play like that they will be a team that’s a pain in the ass. Even if they end up last in the conference it feels like they are working toward an identity and certain way of playing. Basically doing what sully preached.

    I think putting graves in the A and starting Silovs if anything is showing people have to earn a spot. Letang is my boy but I would say anyone other than Sid should be benched for a night if they deserve it. Some of those old dogs could honestly probably use an extra break in the second half of the season.

    Hopefully we put some of those righty’s on the left side or find something to shore it up a bit as the season goes on.

    As much as I want the best chance at mckenna and DuPont I love seeing the pens win! If we do suck all year hopefully we can at least go undefeated in the metro and lose everywhere else haha

    Enjoyed the game. Silovs… was composed and calm the whole time. I was super impressed with him.

    Koivunens little 3 feet passes aren’t working.

    I saw good th Bra and bad things from Brunickie

    Kindle looks great with a high IQ, but he needs a bit more muscle. I was impressed with his playmaking.

    Karlsson seems definitely motivated. Seemed to have played good Defense.

    Geno’s line is huge. It makes sense since none of them are fast… so lean in to being big and slow at least.

    Only one game, of course, but that was one of the most complete games I’ve seen them play in the last handful of years hahaha, I mean like full 60 mins of effort. Nice youthful energy to it all. Good tempo. Great puck support in their own zone a lot of the game. Most of the younger guys look like they will get man handled a lot of nights, though. Need to beef up a bit.
