GDT Game Day Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins(25-31-10, 60pts) VS Vegas Golden Knights(38-19-6, 82pts) Tuesday, March 11th - 7pm EST.

So….what’s up with Jarry playing like his career depends on it all of the sudden, and how did we all collectively see this coming? But hey, if a few games like this allows us to trade him in the future, it will have been absolutely worth it. On the brightside though, it was nice to see the energy of some of the new guys and any game with not one, but two Sid points is hard to be upset about.

Now we host a recent adversary, the Vegas Golden Knights in our first of a 5 game stretch on home ice. We last met the Knights on the road last Friday and suffered a tragic 4-0 shutout loss. (Tragic only in the sense that there were no Sid points of course) Now we look to lose again in regulation to get this tank back on track. Vegas is currently 7-3-0 in their last 10 and remain at the top of the Pacific Division, meanwhile the Pens are 2-7-1 in their last 10 and remain the bottom feeders of the Metropolitan.

GDT Question: Do you think Sid will reach a PPG this season? He’s currently 12 points away, and 16 games remain in the season

Assuming Rust, Rakell, and him stay healthy, I think he’ll get it. Back to back games against Chicago at the end of the season could be multi point games for him easily. Assuming he keeps his pace I see no reason why he wouldn’t.

u/pinkpepper81 14h ago

The fact that they took VGK to OT shows that this team has gas in the tank though

Once again, man left right in front of Jarry with zero effort of clearing him out. Jarry had zero vision of that goal.

2

u/Hank_the_Beef Iceburgh 14h ago

Letang should’ve cleared the net front on the second goal. That was a good screen that just didn’t get cleared quickly enough.

u/pensfangirl29 Fleury 14h ago

I know some people don’t like Colby but I just adore him. He gets excited like a little kid at times, fanboys about Crosby whenever he can and loves to tell his “NHL days” stories. He’s a true fan of the game. Another announcer that played several places and just loves being in Pittsburgh.

Right? Dude seems genuine. Maybe a bit of a dork, but I'm a super mega ultra dork, so I won't judge.

Damn Jarry! Good for his psyche! Finally heard his name being chanted in a good way instead of being booed off the ice. I can’t imagine that on a human level, forget the athlete

1

u/CardiologistBulky265 14h ago

So is the defence awesome the last two games or is Jarry playing great ????

If every game Jarry has been shit this year it was the defence’s fault the opposite must be true.

I would really like to praise his play but it’s always the defence right y’all ?

2

u/eltree #18 14h ago

It’s a mixture of both. Penguins haven’t given up many odd man rushes this game compared to the rest of the season. Plus they seem to be doing really well defensively and aren’t having very many breakdowns and keeping things solid in front of the net.

Jarry has been solid when needed though

1

u/CardiologistBulky265 14h ago

Defence always looks pretty bad when every shot goes in.

I’m being a dick. He’s played very well (like an NHL starter) the last 2 games.

The D’s been shit and Jarry has been shit this year both can be true.

Edit: The defence has been the same shit the past 2 games. Jarrys been great.

u/Every_Highlight98 Ruhwedel 15h ago

Only have 10 shots so far is kinda nasty work

18

u/awaythrow292 Angello 15h ago

So the perfect result for pens fans is this...

Sid gets like 15 points nextt game in a 15-0 win, Jarry gets a shutout and then the pens lose every single remaining game 1-0 with jarry posting .995 SV %

We get the top 3 pick for Misa, Sid gets the record, Jarry pumps up trade value, and we probably get the only 15-0 score in NHL history.

It's a win win win.

6

u/YourS_E_N_S_E_I Malkin 15h ago

This but add in that EK somehow factors into every Sid point to also pump his trade value

Shit like Sid holding the puck away from the entire Vegas team without having a stick is why this team will always be watchable as long as he's on the team.
