They still have 2 periods so anything is possible.

My mind is just so blown that they continually do the same tired, static crap on the PP.

One guy who skates a little bit while the rest stand mostly still, creating no angles, forcing no uncomfortable movement from the short handed team, followed by low-percentage shots from distance (those go in way less often in the current NHL than in decades prior) or a prayer/hail-mary redirect attempt from the slot/net-front. Usually resulting in loss of possession and clear. Rinse and repeat, for multiple seasons. How in the wide world of sports can these professionals not see a need to change?!?

Last minute goal was huge.All 3 guys with some good stuff.
Letang deciding to attempt that keep on the PP was just idiotic.A unit with zero confidence and risk a shorthanded breakaway?
Ned with some solid stops.He didn't give them much to shoot at,sound positionally.
Too many turnovers that entire period,just asking for trouble.
Flyers gave the Pens a few good chances in transition,might see more of this going forward.

They need to bring back the Foodland Hot Shot contest for the power play.

Jay Woodcroft coached the Oilers to like a 40% power play the last 2 seasons, he’s now available…

Not sure someone who made McDavid look average is the right coach for us at this point.

God - Ryan graves might be the worst D-man on the Pens of all the 8 or 9 eligible d-men. So painful to watch.

I had no idea he was from Ohio until I saw his interview wearing a Browns jersey a few weeks ago.

He's managed to fix Karlsson to look real mediocre on the PP, which is quite a feat.
