NHL 2023-2024

Arizona up 5-0 on Caps after 1st… 5 goals on 10 shots, Keumper let the 3 in on 4 shots. The absolute most embarrassing period of hockey I have witnessed since the memorable 12 goal stomping the Sens handed them in the early 2000’s. A showing more embarrassing than Mullet Arena itself.

If its any consolation, Arizona was on a 4 game win streak that includes VGK, Lightning and Avs. I wonder if they can carry that momentum to Saturday night vs the Bruins...

Anderson just made the scoring race vs Jarry interesting with his 1st (empty netter) of the year!

Now 6-0 (6 on 14 shots). The last one was the ever elusive 2-0 SHG goal.

Well, Anderson just scored his first, and he basically copied Jarry with a shot from the Habs end to an empty net covering the full ice.

When you can't play like a forward, you copy a goalie I guess

I don't even know what to say about the Pens anymore. Inconsistent play, sloppy mistakes, complete failure to have a net front presence in any meaningful way, it's ridiculous. What's worse is they've shown that when they actually focus they can beat the better teams in the league.

The lack of net front is so bad that they've even made Karlsson ineffective offensively

Dallas went from beating Tampa 8-1 Saturday to being getting shut out by Tampa 4-0 on Monday. Dallas has been ridiculously inconsistent, despite their record. They've been awful a lot of the time against the best teams too. Don't know what their problem is but they gotta figure it out soon.

I'd take 14-6-3 inconsistent over the Pens 11-10-3 inconsistent any day

Someday the coaching staff will realize that standing in front of the net and then moving out of the way to the side to hope for a tip in or rebound as soon as it looks like somebody might shoot doesn't work. They need to take the goalie's eyes for the shot THEN worry about follow up opportunities.

But hey analytics show they're generating lots of chances so let's keep doing the same thing because sooner or later they HAVE to go in, right?

Just over a quarter into the season and it looks as though the Pacific division playoff picture is already settled

^ Wow

My poor Sharks, alas, a cool name can't make up for a dumpster fire organization

 

[AxeHappy]

Been a wild season all around. Leafs have (as of tonight) the same amount of regulation wins as the Sharks and yet are ahead of Tampa.

The Hurricanes are in Wild Card spot 2.

The way things are going I could see Edmonton going on an insane tear and Vancouver just shitting the bed. Who knows.

Vinnie Hinostroza is now on the top power play unit, all the Pens problems are over

Aaaaaand Jesse Puljujarvi is now a Penguin (on a tryout)

I got real tired of seeing his name in the trade rumor mills, seems like he's got the whole package and just hasn't been able to put it together. Good luck.

P.Kane scored in his first game back, clean shot from the circle and assisted by DeBrincat. Scary moment for Larkin, motionless on the ice after a crosscheck to the head, glad to see he was able to eventually get up.

Yeah curious to see if he does anything

That Larkin deal was definitely scary, hopefully he's ok long term.

It's the apocalypse: the Pens power play scored and Jeff Carter scored on a shorthanded breakaway

I really hope EDM can keep the pace going. 8 straight wins is a hell of a high to be riding.
