DK’s Daily Shot of Penguins: What a team, huh?

29 comments

1. First

2. What would happen if Muse just packed up the boys and left the arena after yet another instance of hazing being done, and really made a statement? Has this ever happened? What will it take for the officials or “Toronto” to finally get some accountability? Or at least some eyes on what’s actually going on so the national media can actually has a conversation about it? Cuz something is seriously going on and has been going on with the league against the penguins, and I just don’t know what has to happen for it to stop…

3. I do have to question Muse on one thing though. When Sid went down he moved Kindel to the top line. They scored a goal. Then Kindel never saw another shift on the top line. Why?

4. This is why your entire last video against the Avs is absolute nonsense and of course only blaming the goaltending as usual (there were many more reasons why we lost that game) to me you don’t think the Avs wanted revenge against us? Like come on man. You just move on and get the next one. And we did.

5. 👻🐧👻

6. Such a great game!
   Pens should stick with Stu for the rest of the season. An unrestricted free agent has every reason to be locked in and play his best every single night. Give him the crease, give him the rhythm, and let him run with it.

7. The penguins have won exactly 50% of their games. Which means they have the lowest number of wins of any team in the running for the playoffs. That is not good! This team better try to go 7 and 3 their last 10 games

8. Great stuff. Thanks. I was sitting there in the 3rd period thinking there was no way they were going to win. Phil Borque said this was going to be Kindel‘s chance to step up and shine. He was right.

9. I can't tell you how many times I've been watching and thought they had no chance and somehow they somehow pull it out.

10. One thing to is the sens and blue jackets have the 2nd and 3rd hardest remaining matchup, pens are now the 19th hardest after that really hard stretch

11. Game on Monday against the Islanders is gonna be huge!!!

12. Hey DK, I have been ragging on Rakell for quite sometime, last night he made me eat crow and that's good! Last night doesn't mean I'm back on his bandwagon, but am I making a stretch by saying last night was his most dominant game perhaps ever in a Penguin uniform? Where has that game been all year, what about that one timer, that should be seen and used more often. If last night was the first time you saw him play you'd be tuning into seeing more of him……great game!
    Obvious props to Karlsson, he's playing on a different level……he'd in a win now game mode! I still can't believe a team saw nothing in Chinakhov, he's getting his chance and his game will continue to grow! Let's give Skinner some love too, he came up huge when the defense was suspect. One more pat on the back, the composure of Kindle, smiling as he grabs the puck on the break away…….same as Chinakhov, there's no ceiling with this kid. Huge win!

13. Letang is scary in OT. Another other worldly botched pass. Please bench him in OT.

14. I was at the game last night and it was absolutely electric! Great win from the team.

15. Would love to see Skinner go again Saturday but with Monday being NYI, they will probably give Silovs Dallas. Gotta tighten up the D in front of them tho. Too soft on zone entries, teams just walk right in and create shots

16. All these goaltender interference calls going against us is really ridiculous. It's starting to feel intentional by the league at this point.

17. At this point in the season there is no room for the goalie to throw up another stinker, so you gotta ride Stu to get into the promised land especially when you only have one viable D line.

18. This Penguin team, more than any Penguin team I have seen in quite a while (maybe ever), have heart, BIG TIME HEART.

    The refs, clearly, are putting them at a disadvantage.

    The league, clearly, are putting them at a disadvantage.

    Despite all of the excuses they could make, their two twin towers (Crosby and Malkin being out), their heart and soul (Lizotte) being out, the Penguins continue to persevere.

    Will they make the playoffs? I don't know but, I'm committed to seeing this year through with the boys because they, clearly, are giving us, as fans, everything they have to get there. Win or lose, as I see it, that's all I can ask for and, frankly, I'm proud of them. This is one hell of a hockey TEAM the Penguins have this year. Very special, win or lose.

19. We can't hear you over the music at the start.

20. Let’s Go PENS 🚀🚀🚀

21. Anyone struggling i would suggest looking into getting into the construction union. Has to be one of the best ways to make good money without needing schooling but u can also get into the higher losing ones like electrical or plumbing fields but u will have to do a apprenticeship but u still make money working while doing ur apprenticeship. Even as a laborer i make around 95k year. I have 2 kids and a stay start gone wife we don't live beyond our means and it's enough for us.

22. Rakell 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

23. I feel good about this game we got our goals in againts a hot Linus Ullmark even injured to hell and back the injury situation could be really tough here but we already dealt with this at a much more difficult time in the schedule. If we get cbj instead of nyi in the first round thatd be incredible I think cbj has a better overall roster but they dont have Ilya Sorokin so Id rather play them.

24. Kindle hell yeah!

25. we just need to start having some fun with this goalie interference thing… Muse needs to ask the fans at the arena with a thumbs up to challenge or thumbs down for no challenge. That might get the media involved even more and then maybe just maybe nhl execs will take notice to the whole mockery of goalie interference.

26. Benny the Kid strikes again! 😎

27. Thank you DK. It was a huge win for sure. Against all odds and the shootout. Great stuff DK and show.

28. Great commentary, as usual. I have loved following this season through your perspective. Outstanding coverage.

29. kindel is going to be something very soon ! as much as Id love to see the pens make the playoffs it would not surprise me if they get swept , primarily due to no real goal tending .
