Bemstrom with a one timer and a curl n drag. Skills he obviously learned in Columbus.

Bemstrom is playing well.He has a good shot,can skate and doesn't shy away from contact.

We can retain some salary too to get a better return. Ned could get us a 2nd as well, there are enough teams looking for a goalie for the playoffs and he fits under everyone’s cap.
Someone the other day mentioned that you are limited to three of those. I think we will need one for Jake, and I think we are using one for someone now too.

Outside of the 2 on 1 due to EK's terrible pinch the Pens actually weren't awful defending.
Ned had a couple of good stops,did spit out some rebounds but was decent.
Rakell offering no offensive threat at all.Looked invisible that entire period.Smith is even worse.He knows he will be relocating this week.
Bemstrom with the only 2 offensive chances.He can play,would like to have seen Puljujarvi dressed to go on that line but Sully has buried him.
Watching Malkin play this way is rough to watch.If he's hurt that explains it,if not then its just hard to have this from him every game.

Dubas has said he would seriously be reevaluating or taking a close look at this team and the decision making about 3 times since the Christmas Break.SMH.

You would figure Harkins of all people would not be skating with his head down that long against the Oilers.

This is one of many things getting tiresome from this team. KD talking out his ass about evaluating, making changes and nothing changes. He’s going to ride this **** show out to the end of the season. Same coaching staff, same players. A waste of a season and a year of Sid’s excellence

Pens have to be the easiest team to play against physically/mentally in the league.

I've liked the look of Ryan McLeod tonight, #71. Wouldn't mind him coming back in a potential Guentzel trade. Send Eller with Guentzel to replace McLeod in Edmonton's lineup.

I think Dubas is waiting for Keefe to get fired from Toronto after they lose in the first round, then he’ll move on from Sullivan.

POJ with a terrible pinch and another Goal off an odd man rush.Way too easy for the Oil to get that.

Their forwards eyes lit up watching him back there trying to defend that.

Why the **** is a 4th liner trying to pass a puck across the entire offensive zone?

In basketball terms, Graves just gave up a back door layup

Was just thinking the same thing. Behind the back too. Must think he’s Sidney Crosby with that type of move, but instead it ended up being a breakout pass for the Oilers.
