Pens seem to play well against the ML's.
I'm not looking to too much out of the Pens this season, although as Crosby continues to round into shape they should at least be a little more exciting to watch.
Good thing they were able to get Carter last season. He's a gem....

It's always nice t have an ex-Flyer playing on your side rather than against you.
Pens battle back from a 3-0 deficit to Vegas after the first period to take a 4-3 lead with 6 minutes to go. 5-3 final score.
5 unanswered goals.
Pens have really developed nice team chemistry, which I was afraid Mulkin coming back might mess up, and are getting through their west coast trip nicely.

Have overcome a number of injuries and COVID issues-playing well this season. Nice improvement in penalty killing-with Malkin back, hopefully we can see some improvement in the power play.
The Metro has a number of really good teams this year. Pens are currently in the final playoff spot. they cant have any lapses and Gino needs to play within the system for them to have a legit shot to make a run into the playoffs. I think they are a good team, how good is yet to be determined.
Incorrect. The Bruins are in the final playoff spot.
Boston is not in the Metro. I was referring to the Metro….no biggie..
Agreed, no biggie. I will point out however, that playoff spots are not determined by division, they are determined by conference.
Hey Glov, the Cryiers, I mean Flyers, are pretty bad this season and about out of the playoffs already, getting blown out again today. Surely they'll be sellers at the trade deadline.Pens up on the Maple Loafs 2 - 0 after 1 period tonight!
Let's go Pens!
Wonder if there is any possibility they would want to help out their old friends the Pens?? Do they have any players that could help bring another Cup to Pittsburgh??
Let me think about that. I know many Flyers of the past and fans blame Hextal (our current GM) for their draft woes!
MJG90 might have some good intel on this.
Does he still post on this board?
I do like and appreciate his info.
Another very nice comeback by the Pens yesterday.
Even during stretches of games where their defense falls asleep, Jarry almost always bails them out. Just hope they don't burn out Jarry. Might be better to send Smith down an let the young guy (when he's healthy) back up Jarry.
Another nice comeback for sure tonight!
6 - 3 victory!!
we owned the in the 3rd period!!
Crosby scores #500 against the Flyers!
Pens win game in OT; came from 4 - 2 down to win 5 - 4!!

50 of Crosby's 500 goals have come against the Flyers. That's 10% of his career output. They interviewed him after the game and he did not know that. Lemeiux and Jagr are the only players in Flyers history who have scored more points against them than Crosby, and he's only a few points behind.
The Flyers truly are a skating example of "the land of misfit toys" ....a GM & a coach need to agree on a system & style of hockey they want to play ( north / south vs East / West ) and then assemble the players that can play that system & style
Then, starting in net, find a great goalie - the Flyers have one in Hart
Two really top defensemen - not one top 50 defenseman according to NHL.com plays fir the Flyers
A couple of top 150 forwards - 3 is preferable and common on most Stanley Cup conference final bound ( top 4 teams) - Giroux ??? Old but cagey, Couturier???talented but gives a rather lackluster effort 1/2 of his games, not much after those 2...Hayes in a pinch???
The Flyers top 2 lines of forwards and defensemen would be 3rd and 4th line players on most teams
So unless you feel Carter Hart is available, the Flyers 3rd and 4th line players are so non descript it's unlikely
Giroux would be a great power play addition but he and Crosby don't like each other - tough to see who on the Flyers would be a good add for the Pens
I think Farabee is a pretty good looking young player with a lot of upside.
He is, but at 21 and "only" $5M a year and on a long term - 6 year contract - I can't see the Flyers trading him
He is a north / south, very good skater on an east / west, play along the boards, try to slow the game down team - he doesn't fit the Flyers, but supposedly Fletcher wants more like him on the Flyers
Anybody get the plate number off that New Jersey truck that ran over my Penguins tonight? At home yet!!!
Who's going to be first to post something complimentary about MAF?
Oh hell no!
Maybe IF he is traded to Minnesota I'll post something when he loses his first game in goa for them!
