The Pittsburgh Penguins played nice for a few minutes after the game, speaking with the media, but they didn\u2019t hide their true feelings for long, and the team was otherwise furious with themselves for letting a big win slip away. The team will also thin the herd of the organization\u2019s goaltending depth. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the Daily, it seems teams are backing away from an Artemi Panarin trade, the first Olympic replacements due to injury are being made, there\u2019s more noise around the Edmonton Oilers after an ugly homestand \u2026 and I\u2019m still somewhere in the Finger Lakes region. <\/p>\n
I might never cover a game at UBS Arena again. I\u2019m late publishing the Daily because of ridiculous travel limitations. I left the arena at 11 p.m., didn\u2019t get to my car in Secaucus until 1 a.m., tried to snag a hotel when I got tired around 3 a.m., only to find both hotels on I-81 in Wilkes-Barre were closed up for the night. So I drove on. <\/p>\n
UBS is a nightmare. Fans are intense (but they treat Penguins fans well, in a good-natured way), but getting there and out just sucks. I won\u2019t even bother telling you where I slept. Sometimes, this job\u2026<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Hockey Now: You don\u2019t want the losing recap as the Penguins fell to the Islanders 5-4 in OT, so we\u2019ll skip right to the report card\u2013Inside the intense frustration after a Penguins big win slips away<\/a>.<\/p>\n Shelly was minding the store, and thankfully, she was\u2013Filip Larsson finally had enough of being the third goalie in Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton and asked out. He\u2019s on waivers today, and the\u00a0Penguins will terminate his contract<\/a>.<\/p>\n NHL Trade Talk, News, & National Hockey Now<\/p>\n TSN: No takers for Panarin under his current demands, and the New York Rangers ask. Uh oh. Gee, perhaps $50 million for a soon-to-be 35-year-old was too much, eh<\/a>?<\/p>\n Sportsnet: I find the Edmonton Oilers an endlessly fascinating team. Two straight Final losses, the weight of the world on Connor McDavid, and yet their biggest move this season was acquiring Tristan Jarry. Mark Spector put it bluntly: They no longer look like contenders<\/a>.<\/p>\n Philly Hockey Now: Rick Tocchet was also blunt in discussing why he\u2019s not playing electric young player Matvei Michkov. Fans are angry that he\u2019s not, despite the good reason. The Flyers president seemed to disagree with Tocchet, and now general manager Daniel Briere held a little press conference before fans chanted \u201cFire Tocchet.\u201d We\u2019ve got ourselves a mess with the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sportsnet video: Anthony Cirelli out, Sam Bennett in for Team Canada, but more injuries are unresolved, and all eyes are on who could be replacements and who will need to be replaced for Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Athletic ($): Tough decisions in Columbus. They\u2019ve won nine of 10 games and are making a run back into the playoff hunt. But they\u2019re not there yet, and have three big free agents. Do they start trading away their pending UFAs<\/a>?<\/p>\n Detroit Hockey Now: You remember Olli Maatta. He\u2019s carved out a nice second act in his career after winning two Stanley Cups with the Penguins, but things are not going well right now. It\u2019s been a Mammoth disappointment this season, so what\u2019s up with Olli Maatta<\/a>?<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTags: nhl news<\/a> nhl trade<\/a> Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> <\/p>\n Categorized:Links<\/a> NHL Trade Rumors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Penguins played nice for a few minutes after the game, speaking with the media, but they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445175,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5113],"tags":[5,4,106,4433,118,1469,100,5216],"class_list":{"0":"post-445174","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-penguins","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-nhl-news","11":"tag-nhl-trade","12":"tag-penguins","13":"tag-pittsburgh","14":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","15":"tag-pittsburghpenguins"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116012750429231990","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
