Anyway game falling apart, zero surprise.

I mean, if the Panthers want to win with only two goals I’m starting to think keeping the Pens on the PP for the rest of the night might be the way to do it

For a good chunk of this season we’ve had better offense on our PK than our PP, so this might be the plan.

Damnit it’s 2am and I didn’t even mean to tune into the whole game, but I feel like it’s gonna be a late one.

the pens certainly feel like they give up more goals than they score on the PP so it'd not a bad gamble, really

Eh, if there's a time of the year to get your suck on it's the midway.
They'll have a chance to course correct during the all star break, maybe pick up a few pieces by the deadline to shake themselves loose

It's a long season, even good teams will have ice cold stretches


Granted these naive beliefs may be bolstered by the fact that 2 of the 3 cups I've seen the penguins win came after firing a coach in the middle of a dreadful season but I'm just inclined not to take the regular season as anything more than a very, very long preamble to what may as well be a different sport with no correlation of success between the two

Early season is always a bit of nonsense tbh, players and coaches still figuring things out and getting up to speed

I’m sure it doesn’t help that everyone on the team is pointing fingers at each other lately though

It isn't. It's part of the problem. Currently at 5v5 the bottom 6 is literally unplayable. They are insanely bad. Currently 9 of the 12 forwards are getting caved in xG wise. Ryan Graves is an awful fit in with the D core and the 3rd pairing, regardless of who is on it, is bad. Everything having to do with the powerplay is bad. This is where Dubas has 100% completely and utterly failed. Fire Reirden. It was clear last year this was a problem. You changed the players and it got worse.........change a coach you dumb mother fucker. Otherwise though there are giant issues with players too. Jensen Harkins really sucks. I wish they would by Vinnie back in for him. Colin White really sucks. He barely lasted 6 minutes tonight. At this point why not give double no hips a shot again. Whatever. Everyone else in the bottom 6 sucks.

Edit: Some of the players in the bottom 6 are so bad I barely notice Carter doing bad things (other than when he blows his d coverage like against Arizona) and Carter, somehow, still generates a vague amount of offense.

Did anyone else's ESPN+ feed not go to commercial break right away at the end of the period and have someone on the Altitude feed ask who the player interview was and Katie Gauss reply "we're getting Josh Manson"?

The old DirecTV package was awesome for this. Just banter instead of commercials since they grabbed the feed from the remote before it hit the local broadcast mix.

I have a memory of Razor even chiming in one evening that he knew we could hear them talking during the breaks. Mostly just procedural stuff and the occasional attractive fan.

Back years ago, one of NFLs backend services for Gamepass or similar was worked out - if you knew the algorithm you’d know the direct URL for every game that was going to be played, so you didn’t have to deal with pirate feeds you could just watch it from the source. Even better was you’d get a bunch of footage before the game as they tested the graphics, camera sweeps etc.

Reminds me of years ago when they’d bounce programming around satellites and people who knew the coordinates could jump on and grab clear copies from these ‘wild feeds’, so you could get episodes of The Simpsons a day early, or more fun - copies of WWE events with an hour of extra stuff. Commentary test runs, dark matches etc. Fun times.
