Pens controlled the entire Period and were able to get rewarded with the 2 Goals.
Nice for Gruden to get his 1st career goal to get them the lead..He knew where he was going with that shot.
Smith looked as invisible as any player on the ice for this Team.Rakell gets chances and can't even get close to scoring.
DOC had the motor going all period,his intensity and effort show every game.
Jarry had an easy time of it,expect him to get much more action right away.

Smith and Rakell have been robbing the pens all season. Hopefully they are both gone in a week.

Did you know that ESPN is the home for the complete 30 for 30 library?

It doesn’t matter how that shot ended up happening, that’s a brutal goal for Jarry to allow.

Hate that for Pusty because Sullivan is going to make him sit even more.

Puustinen with a tough turnover and Letang with a weak effort didn't help as well.
Jarry wasn't good on that one.

He was about 20% responsible for that mess.

Maybe the turnover was the last part of Sullivan’s initiation for Puustinen that he has forgotten all good hockey sense and embraced his system? He keeps getting his regular shifts.

I think it’s time to admit that the Erik Karlsson experiment has not worked. Dubas needs to look into trading him this off-season.

I think you’re right. Neither have Smith or Graves.

It gets an incomplete because the coach has no **** clue what to do with him.

Post makes a save on Smith then Markstrom catches a puck a foot behind the net from Letang and the crowd goes wild.
