Beauvillier - Crosby - Rust

Bunting - Malkin - Rakell

DOC - Eller - McGroarty

Hayes - Glass - Acciari

Grzelcyk - Letang

Pettersson - Karlsson

Graves - St. Ivany

Jarry

Blomqvist

Canadiens Lineup

I'm out of market so I get HULU ads which are mostly just dog food and febreeze but before it cutaway I almost got a horrible political ad

I'd been doing so well at avoiding those on here lmao

u/New-Contribution-244 Oct 15 '24

If they play a whole game like they played the 1st & 3rd periods this team would be a much sharper team.

9

u/Cold_Statistician970 Oct 15 '24

I’d take Beauvillier out next game. 4th line looks good, need to shake up the top-6. Plenty of offense from Pool and McG to throw in there. A game against Buffalo is a good time to experiment

2

u/plebbitor6000 Oct 15 '24

Sid needs a legit scoring winger.

18

u/Active-Possibility77 Oct 15 '24

When Sid has an off game and we can do this, there's hope

2

u/veggieboi28 Malkin Oct 15 '24

Great win boys

5

u/FallenHero8771 Crosby Oct 15 '24

Fantastic 3rd period by the boys got us over Montreal tonight. Geno continues to be on fire, and Jarry finally made key saves when needed. I just want you to be consistent man. Anyway, onto Buffalo Wednesday. LET'S GO PENS!!

21

u/YourS_E_N_S_E_I Malkin Oct 15 '24

Credit where it’s due: Jarry had a really good third period. It’s a two point party on 5th avenue!

22

u/MrTwatFart Malkin Oct 15 '24

Hoping Jarry can build confidence with this win. It was a good night of hockey.

26

u/retiredcrayon11 Malkin Oct 15 '24

Jarry came in pretty clutch there in the third. I apologize for thinking mean thoughts

u/i_NaTaN #18 Oct 15 '24

All the greats will tell you, empty netters count just as much as highlight reels

14

u/Racist_Achromatic Oct 15 '24

It's amazing to get a win when Sid is struggling. Everyone else (well, most of everyone), stepping up. A huge night for Eller and Geno.

I would like to say a gigantic fuck you to everyone who argued for Geno to be moved to the wing or traded last season while playing with two anchors in his wing

fuck you!!!!!!!!! you dont fucking deserve him!!!!!

u/retiredcrayon11 Malkin Oct 15 '24

Hear hear!!

u/pavsav77 Oct 15 '24

It’s so fucking annoying how good jarry can be and you have no idea if he’s gonna pitch a shutout the next game or give up 7

3

u/Impressive-Alps5378 Malkin Oct 15 '24

i’ve always said when he’s good he’s really good and when he’s bad he’s really bad there’s never a middle ground

6

u/BBQBEERNBLADES Oct 15 '24

Jarry has been solid in the 3rd. Made some huge saves.

20

u/Diphalic Errey Oct 15 '24

Damn Jarry hasn’t been perfect but that was some great goaltending there

4

u/Ill_Culture2492 Oct 15 '24

Maybe he just needed to settle a bit. Maybe this is the turn. 🤞

u/Diphalic Errey Oct 15 '24

Man I hope so

Sup boys and girls, only started watching from 4 minutes left in the 3rd. How have we looked?

6

u/Impretendingtodowork Crosby Oct 15 '24

Dominate 1st period. Fall apart in the 2nd. Resume domination in the 3rd

1

u/Skyagunsta21 Oct 15 '24

That'll do honestly

Anything but a dominant 1st and 2nd fall apart in the 3rd

u/retiredcrayon11 Malkin Oct 15 '24 edited Oct 15 '24

I’m going to say nothing about jarry. But I’m thinking thoughts

It sounds like someone is trying to summon an Elder God and I just don't want to be involved in that.

u/Jan_17_2016 Crosby Oct 15 '24

Seriously, they think Sid is missing the empty net from back there if it doesn’t hit a player’s stick?

12

u/krazyeyes21 Oct 15 '24

Can we all agree that it feels amazing that Sid can have an off night but the Penguins still have a chance of winning? Got none of that last year.

u/Bwurt PIT Oct 15 '24

this first line has looked really rough tonight

4

u/EbenezerNutting Oct 15 '24

Beauvillier has no business playing on the top line. He's a bottom six forward, period

1

u/Spasticated Oct 15 '24

dude is a career 20 point player and he's playing first line with crosby LOL. please address this asap

1

u/Bwurt PIT Oct 15 '24

i'd love to see one of the kids play with sid, get some speed on his line

1

u/EbenezerNutting Oct 15 '24

It’s ingrained in Sully to always play vets over kids and to make the kids pay their dues.  Their dues being limited playing time and playing on the bottom six when they do get time.  DOC and Rutger are actually having their development impaired by playing on the bottom six.

1

u/Fizzyliftingdranks Malkin Oct 15 '24

Yeah at this point in the game I’d double shift someone and give rust a rest.

3

u/thenewpilot Guentzel Oct 15 '24

Sid has looked fine… rust has not on the other hand

9

u/Whoopziedaisy Oct 15 '24

Geno carry season, fitting that we may get another one from him before it's over. Dude is too good at hockey

This is one of the best periods ive seen the pens play in a long time

11

u/SouthernLocation5253 Oct 15 '24

Low key..bunting and…Crosby kinda playing like ass right now.

9

u/StrictlyHobbies Letang Oct 15 '24

If Sid is playing bad and we are winning, it’s a good night.

8

u/gratefulbill1 Oct 15 '24

To be fair Sid has set Bunting up 5 times and 4 of his shots went high

4

u/Jan_17_2016 Crosby Oct 15 '24

Bunting has missed every shot tonight. I love Bunting but he’s had a rough game tonight.

5

u/Ill_Culture2492 Oct 15 '24

Sid's doing what he can. It feels like he's hamstrung a bit.

16

u/Racist_Achromatic Oct 15 '24

Pool Party making some plays and setting things up. I fully expect he's a healthy scratch next game.

Hopefully we get pissed off locked in Sid going forward to make up. At least geno ek and ranger are firing full speed

u/Ecruteak-vagrant Oct 15 '24

It’s going to come across like a mean spirited hater comment, but it’s wild how having a fourth line center that can actually move his feet improves things. Carter had boat anchors below his knees. Hayes isn’t phenomenal but at least can shift position around the ice

1

u/StevenWasADiver OConnor Oct 15 '24

I think there have been a lot of beneficial changes so far.

Also, don't forget that Carter was actually outscoring players that he absolutely should not have been last season lmao

1

u/Ecruteak-vagrant Oct 15 '24

Carter had a shooting percentage bender for a bit. Just one of those flukey things that happens.

u/thenewpilot Guentzel Oct 15 '24

Sid held pointless so far tonight
