Somehow I seem to see more of that from Kulak like previous game when he blocked Skinner's view of shot. Graves used to drive me mad screening our goalie - wanted to put a collar on him & invisible fence under the ice.

Gorgeous!

Avery Hayes scoring twice in his first NHL game is the perfect illustration of how Pens’ depth has factored into their season. On a night without Letang, Rakell and 2/3 of their fourth line, on a night without points for 87, they go on road and beat Buffalo by 3 goals.

Game No. 56: Penguins 5, Sabres 2 Avery Hayes scores twice in NHL debut to lead the way

I loved Zubov & hated when Mario didn't & got him shipped out. And championed Kevin Hatcher as replacement. Bleeech!

We must have picked up in 3d as 45.5 - 54.5%

Pens have won only 33% of their draws through 2 periods against the NHL's worst faceoff team in Buffalo (44.5% for the season). McLeod has won 11 of 14.

Power play just letting Pens down again tonight.

I like Clifton.
I think new 77 (Kulak) is mostly adequate but not gifted. (The way earth in Hitchhiker is labeled mostly harmless.)
Solovyov has also been ok.
I think both are a slight step up from what we had before on D.
Missing St. Ivany --was great w/Shea. Missing Letang.
Not missing Graves.

Four goals from rookies tonight, and first career SHG for Kindel.

ANOTher penalty on pens - mantha - hooking. 1:29 left.
i hate when it becomes "exciting'
Dueling rookies - Kindel scores empty netter! Rookies Hayes-Kindel 2-2!

Novak 7 points in his last 8 games.

Sid has won 50+% of his draws in 18 of his last 19 GP against Buffalo (249-168, 59.7%).

Novak goal, deflected shot from blueline by chinakhov!

Had it - loved it. But mine didn't look like this. Likely mine older. Early 1960s..

Pens PP powerless lately.

Pissed away this pp - but better than giving up shortie.

they crash our net AGAIN. No call last time. Crap on that!
(Fight after crash. Waiting on call.)

Missing Lizotte -- out as wife delivering. 4th line not the same w/o him.

We NEED to win this game. LOST previous 2. Long break coming. Sid & Malkin need to NOT take penalties. Some goals would be nice too.

“I know they would do anything, that they would hurt people, that they’ve murdered people... I know that intellectually. But I still did not expect them to gas a chill, friendly protest full of nurses and teachers and children and the elderly.”

PP not so much lately.

Republicans love Trump's ICE agenda—unless it's in their state Republican lawmakers have defended President Donald Trump's lawless ...

When are Sid & Malkin going to score instead of taking penalties. Not happy w/negative contributions.

Isn't that 2 on Malkin?
THEY SCORE. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR MALKIN!

Glad to see Kindel take the offered shot. He loves to pass, but that was the play.

Tuck runs down Shiloth behind his net. Pens pp. NOT looking forward to this. w/a lead, Pens take chances & do not want short-handed goal.

SID needs to stop taking penalties. Malkin too.

ANOTHER Pens penalty?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SID???????????

Shea & Kulak not a good pairing.
