I respect the grind dan its almost 1 am
Safe travels coming home, Dan! See you tomorrow! Cheers! 😉💯🐧🏒
Big boys gotta eat
Yinz a trooper! LOVE your grit and passion for our PENS
All I gotta say is “EFFFFF YEAHHH!!!!” you just gotta love the grit of this team !
& based on what everyone says about that arena & how awful it is to go to … that background imagery says a whole lot ! 😂
Be careful on your drive back. So many emotions this whole game. I looked at the lineup to see which of the kids was playing-just the name. It took me to the 5 min mark to say umm these lines are odd… so I went back and looked. I was shocked but also it made sense Novak has been off lately and Rakell got better at face offs again. Okay safe travels can’t wait to see what tonight brings.
Been a Pens fan since the 90s. I've seen too many lost playoff series and blown 3rd period leads against this NY Islanders franchise (the only team I dislike more is the Flyers). This one felt really, really good, particularly against this opponent, in a big game, with a dominant result.
Good Lord! 😊❤ supersonic game, nice report, thanks , Dan ❤🎉
Loving the depth, the drive, the backhand shots (instead of messing around for perfect shots) and finally having the size to make a statement. Reminded me of that old saying – A champion team will always beat a team of champions. One of the most entertaining games of the season. Thanks for your recap Dan!
It was a great game! Pens are like Avis….they're #2 but they try harder! Incredible season, Incredible game. High motor and constant gas. They're all in. 🏒🐧🏒 Drive safe!
Good win. Total team effort!
I really enjoy your game summaries. Nobody does it better.
Im enjoying this ride with the Penguins since our Stu was sent to you guys. The fight in this team is something. I also like the after game commentaries by Dan and DK. Good luck Pens! Let’s go Stuuuuuuuuuu 🧡💙
Go Pens ‘ A Mantha is a beast
Ben Kindel played like an absolute lunatic. He won a puck along the boards in the opposing ice against 3 Islanders. With a 4th lying in wait. Unreal
I'm starting to really like Soderblom. He's been ramping up the physicality the past few games and if he keeps it up he will be a menace.
For the first time in years, the depth players are carrying this team…that's a great sign…Kindel's best game of the year, Soderblom continues to be a great find, Rakell ramping it up as we go down the stretch… PP1 is starting to be a big concern… Girard and his "aloof" play is really making Letang work harder than he should…that's a problem…Skinner needs to take the net, Silvos can't be trusted…Muse was on point tonight, the reason why we one
H8 dan!
Soderblom is a cheat code with his size 😂😂 i think Skinner needs the net going forward
Great recap as usal. Already looking forward for the next one.
Awesome how good this team can look when we don't have to play against the refs huh?
Best game of the season and I couldn't watch because it was on NHL network. GRRRR! I'm glad it all came together for them.
he is good 👆
Yinz keep it up Go pens
I was there – my face still hurts from smiling. Islanders fans were leaving with ten minutes to go, no loyalty. We had a small contingent chanting Let's Go Pens. I'm so happy right now
Rack's first shorie ever was a HUGE one!
I had to listen on The X, my wife was startled several times as I yelled expletives. Now, can these Pens show up for the next few games and not switch out like after the Avs pounding? Keep going boys, look what happens when you move the puck like you know eachother.
Crosby has to be stoked to have players like Hayes and Kindel
