Did we really think Sid would let the Pens start anything but 8-7 this year? Cup confirmed. #LetsGoPens

@nhlpens Zegras was giving him shots to each shoulder in earlier scrum. Looked like he kept asking “is it this one?”

Acciari with an absolutely pathetic shift

Biz is spot on man, such a shame

@kelsey_surmacz4 Would love to buy one of those jerseys!! Karlsson was always my favorite non-pen before the trade, love the guy

Really cant see a world where Sully survives this one. Seems just like the nail in the coffin. Its time. Every day he stays behind the bench is just negligence

[Pens Sphere @PITPensSphere]

My god letang has been absolutely brutal this year. I’ve never seen him look this lost. Better hope he can find his game really quick

[Pens Sphere @PITPensSphere]

If anyone grew up watching 58, 71 & 87 play hockey, looking back at last night, this was personally the greatest moment since the Penguins won back to back cups. What an absolute privilege to witness this core still tackle these milestones, together 🥹🐧

Sid has earned a blank check, period. But to predict Sid’s Contract Extension, if he elects for a hometown discount and to try to free cap and make another run at it:
3x2.9M = $8.7M

or, he stays at his current cap hit:
3x8.7M

Either way, he gets an increase in true $

@NHL_Bouchard And if the oilers won it would be even more irrelevant 💀

@spittinchiclets Definitely a penalty but nowhere near a 5… smh

[Pens Sphere @PITPensSphere]

Can see Jake get sent to Boston for debrusk rights and a 6th.

DeBrusk signs 5x4.75M with CAR
Jake signs 8x10.25M with BOS

On Jake Guentzel: Elliotte says "It sounds like he is available for a mid round pick." #CauseChaos #NHL
