7 total shots between the two teams in 17 minutes. Mmm stimulating.

Rather POJ than Graves at this point.

I like DOC’s hustle. His hands are for **** but he gives it 100%.

I’m regretting not resigning Dumo for 3 years/$10 million if Graves was the only alternative.

2 PP opportunities generating zero offensive pressure,anything uncomfortable for Sorokin nor difficulty to defend.
Graves with about 3-4 turnovers,every shift on the ice gives the Isles their best looks.
No energy for about 15 minutes that period,some better effort late but just not going to get it done playing this way.
Isles top 3 Defensive D-Men are out but the Pens did nothing to rattle or confuse their group.No physical play or forecheck at all.
Jarry had 2-3 decent stops,the Isles seemed to get their chances down low going at the Pens Defensemen.

Have to specify. That quote applies to more than one.

Graves was supposed to be an upgrade.

If their powerplay can't score against the Isles every member of the coaching staff should be fired tonight

A number of acquisitions were supposed to be upgraded. I think many of us were optimistic after KD’s changes this past summer. The new boys seem to have sunk to same level of mediocrity.

If I had to take a shot every Graves turnover I’d be hammered 4mins into the first.

Seems like Rupper has fallen into the trap of making excuses for the players.

I heard from someone that the visiting locker room shower is nasty and mold filled. Must be why none of the Pens want to break a sweat.

He’s still a nationwide broadcaster outside his limited Pens appearances. He’s never going to criticize any players directly.
