Whats up with Lucas Raymond and why is he stinking up my fantasy team. I can see he's getting like 20 minutes a night but he's not doing anything.

Kubalik and Perron have staked out the top line/top powerplay, and I guess it turns out that Andrew Copp and Joe Veleno are not ideal linemates. Plus Bertuzzi drove a lot of the play for the Wings last year and he’s out, so there’s a dearth of guys who can push possession for a guy like Raymond who’s pretty one-dimensional.

Mete's easily the second-best skating defenseman on the team, which, lol, lmao. Shame about, uh, everything else.

I guess he thought he was more of a driver of play than he is. Detroit has been playing pretty well too, so it's kind of surprising.

I'll be interested to see your indepth analysis but a cursory look at the Pens analytical numbers indicates they're fine.

Completely agree. I was going to look at per period basis because I have it in my head already that the Pens either play astonishingly good periods or utter trash with 3 corsi for events and want to see if I'm just imagining it or if there's some funny/interesting nuggets there. Wasn't planning on singling out players yet...and took a swipe at that a bit in the GDT against Calgary.

Still having trouble parsing in my brain that the Pens were overall good in the Calgary game but it's hard sometimes to get those bad periods out of my head.

I don't know what the solution is but this doesn't seem like it.

Keefe putting Kerfoot back at 2LW before the month was out was incredibly predictable. The guy has no ideas, and any time he’s convinced to significantly switch the lines up he can’t even give it a full game before getting nervous and going back to his safety blankets.

Also putting Simmonds higher up the lineup in 2022 is reason enough to fire the guy already, just put him out of his misery.

I would rather get a look at Rydhal at this point than keep running carpenter out there but that might take awhile to convince the coach

Agreed on both. I'd even take Rydahl and Carpenter together with Reaves in the press box, that might be the best way to go.

Was at the Devils game tonight. Incredible performance for them. I can't remember a better win in the near past other than beating the Rangers a few times. The Bratt pass to Jack for the goal was a thing of beauty.

Pens doing that thing again where they put some points on the board then play disaster hockey like they've stopped listening to the coach completely and don't know how to execute the system then execute the system from Jan to mid Feb locking in playoffs before reverting to stupid loving bullshit hockey and then dumping out in the first round.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson
Tyler Myers
Luke Schenn
Guillaume Brisebois
Kyle Burroughs
Jack Rathbone

....and beat the loving Penguins 5-1

I agree except that they deserved to beat the Islanders and Rangers and lost due to goaltending.

Their playoff performances the two years before that were disastrous though

Also the Canucks winning ruled, and the fact that a Huggy-Bear pairing is a real possibility warms my cold heart.

My favorite thing about watching Caps games is the way the two or three times a period Ovechkin plays a little defense, their broadcasters lavish him with praise in exactly the same tone parents use to praise their two year old for going potty all by himself.

So far they've played Washington, Arizona, Florida, Ottawa, Anaheim, Minnesota, Dallas, Detroit and Columbus.

They've been pretty fortunate schedule wise getting to play mostly trash tier losers during the major injuries. Now Marchand came back, but McAvoy is still out.
