Nice guy, tries hard, loves the Pens

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Obviously not the result anyone wanted. Weirdly enough this is only the 3rd multi goal loss for the pens since Christmas. They’ve been battling all year so there’s room for optimism.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Obviously would’ve been very sweet to steal the extra point and the SO struggles are extra frustrating, but if you would’ve told me we would be 1-0-2 without Sid and Geno I’d gladly take that.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

While I get the debate about the trade deadline, I don’t believe we need to overthink it. There was no one player we could have traded for that would have wildly changed the outcome of the last few games.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Obviously have no reason to doubt him given the year he’s had, but if Dubas does move Skinner he might as well move Mantha. Either move UFAs at the expense of the playoff run or just let it ride. Don’t want any half measures.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

I understand Dubas doesn’t HAVE to do the Geno extension immediately, but if the reports are true that he’s good for a 1 year deal, what’s the hold up? Cap space isn’t an issue, Geno willing to play wing (so won’t block Kindel), and could be a nice confidence boost with Sid out.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Dewar on a 20 goal pace, just like we all expected.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

@Steelersdepot Ngl that line about Mercy hospital goes hard, but I’m still upset about the hiring 😭

[Joe @Joe04187891]

@CanadianPens The guy who hasn’t won a playoff series ever.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Kinddyyyyy

[Joe @Joe04187891]

@ARayfor3 Like the fight. Not going to win any games with Lewis and Lindsay shooting a combined 1/21

[Joe @Joe04187891]

@AlertsNova Night and day difference in half time adjustments from last season to this year.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Have to wonder if they try to extend Dewer to lock in the 4th line for the next few seasons. Easily the best 4th line since the cup runs.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

@TheOllefan @ChrisMuellerPGH He’s not the reason they lost but idk how you watch this game and think it’s a good idea to bring him back another year older

[Joe @Joe04187891]

I don’t like throwing one guy under the bus, but the fact that we have to throw our lines in a blender one game after Hayes is back in the lineup is telling.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Couldn’t watch the game, any early thoughts on Chinakhov?

[Joe @Joe04187891]

I’m still good with the trade but seeing the Blues get crushed makes me wish we had that 2nd rounder 😭

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Agreed that trade is an overpay although I am not upset about it as long as they give Chinakhov a lot of runway. Can’t be yanking him from the lineup in a few games if he doesn’t start well.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Trades within the division just cost more. There’s a reason we got a 2nd round pick for Anthony Beauvillier.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Don’t want to hear one peep out of the locker room when guys like Rakell and Rust get traded at the deadline. No one to blame but themselves.

[Joe @Joe04187891]

Obvious win by Dubas. Got draft capital, cap flexibility and a goaltender who you can’t convince me is much worse than Jarry.
