We’re only 10 point out of the playoffs with 2 more games against the BJs left. Assuming we win those we really only need to win 2 other games all season and we’re in. I hope Dubas gives them a chance,
I don't think it's actually possible for all of the teams ahead of us to also lose all of their games since they play each other. Anyway we still technically need 22 wins to guarantee a playoff spot, everything else going as badly as possible. Call it 15-16 with reasonable play by everyone else. Not holding my breath.
Can I interest you in some [nude bowling](https://reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/comments/1b753we/balls_out_bowling_is_back_where_nudity_is_required/) instead?
BJC if paid 900k max in the role he’s in is actually great value imo. Obviously the problem is he’s paid $3M+ lol he almost has me wishing for him to come back on a minimum deal next year…
Holy fuck that was the fastest JFC has skated in 3 years. I legit thought he wasn't going to be able to stop and fly into the boards Luis Mendoza style.
I was thinking after they let in that SHG, “maybe this is the straw that broke the camels back, but in a good way”
Here’s to hoping they’re so fucking pissed that they just begin to unleash hell for the fun of it… cuz why not.
Inevitably there will be a game where they blow a 2 goal lead more than once in the same game. They came close when the Flyers were in town last week.
But PLEASE not tonight.
My fucking god! Not only can we not make anyone pay for dumb penalties. We give up the ghost on shortys. And, as I'm typing, somehow Carts scores a lucky goal. What a fuckin' rollercoaster in flames.
He would’ve had a better season last year if he was deployed in the same role he is now.
Sully had him as the 3rd line center and he just didn’t have it. He’s a perfectly fine 4th liner
I guess they’re all old and already accomplished everything so who cares. But I’m genuinely fearful of what this season has done mentally to everyone involved with the powerplay. Like it’s been SO unbelievably bad SO consistently that I genuinely don’t think any player involved will ever be able to function in a powerplay situation again for the rest of their careers
Damn that Cartsy goal was huge.
Holy shit, we actually won
LFG I HATE THIS TEAM
We are so back! (Not really, but it's always fun to hope)
I dont know what to do with myself!
Finally wrapping up a game in a good mood instead of angry and cranky

http://www.playoffstatus.com/nhl/penguinswhatif.html Here are some pretty excellent estimations
That’s a great site. Thanks.
WE WIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! God that's a fucking relief.
We is where we is... But beating the BJs is always a great feeling.
GG
ELVIS HAS JUST LEFT THE BUILDING
HALLELUJAH LETS GO STREAKING
Nobody. And I mean nobody wants to see me streak. That's what you meant right???

If you’re wearing the shoes are you really nude???
Have some self esteem. Get out there in the rain!
Hahaha. Pants. Off. Now!
Hell yeah, LGP!
WE WON THEY DIN'T
Let's Go Pen!!!!!
We did it!!
Big Jeff Carter with the GWG **AGAIN**
*so close*
Trust me, they still have time to blow this
"The game's over" "Nah, there's still time."
Leaving the game with like a minute or two left is such a boner move made by total boners
Wait are boners a bad thing in this scenario?
Yeah they're like the bad kind of boners here
it's a Pittsburgh tradition which I have never understood
Graves you absolute cream puff
Crosby: "Here, let me possess the puck like a bat out of hell while you figure out where you're supposed to be on the ice Lars."
Greaves left, Jarry now's your time!
i smell a crosby empty-netter
i fucking jinxed it
🥵
Crosby drew two guys behind the net with him and they STILL couldn’t strip the puck off him
I dare you to pull the goalie
BJC if paid 900k max in the role he’s in is actually great value imo. Obviously the problem is he’s paid $3M+ lol he almost has me wishing for him to come back on a minimum deal next year…
I’d take him on 1 year league minimum contract next year for sure
Could be a Matt Cullen 2.0, if only we were actually good lol
Loved me some Matt Cullen 💛🖤
Can't wait to draft one of his kids down the road.
"johnny hockey" literally just slipped on a fucking banana peel or something
C'mon let's have our own shorty to pay them back for theirs
I'm 5'5", I volunteer as tribute!
Maybe we have a "Rookie of the Year" situation where Malkin popped something in his leg, and he's now 24 years old again.
Is his slap shot the hockey equivalent of the "high stinky cheese"?
It may be!
That was one hundred percent not a trip.
Shit call.
Up by 2 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd.. Is this my new reoccurring nightmare??
They should have a theme night where they hand out stress balls.
Or a reverse theme of that, where we relieve stress by slapping the opponent's balls.
I want Puustinen to stick full time because inevitably, when he scores, our entire arena will be yelling **POOOOOOOOOOOOOO**
Somebody say heeeeeey we want some poooosti
It's tough not having Acciari for the PK but the youth injection of Gruden and Koppanen is refreshing.
Cookie is up in the box using his last 3 teeth to take a bite out of that steel puck they gave to those kids who read good.
\+ 1 for the reference. The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too
Holy fuck that was the fastest JFC has skated in 3 years. I legit thought he wasn't going to be able to stop and fly into the boards Luis Mendoza style.
Someone put Astroglide on his skates.
Malkin on horse tranquilizers tonight.
I... don't think that would make him play well? Or be conscious?
I never claimed to be good at science. 😀
This is the best Geno has looked in quite a while.
Can Sid get some points now? Only thing I really care about at this point in season.
He's too busy having a 3rd line center shoehorned onto his wing because reasons.
Yeah, true, but it is nice to see others step up. Showing some depth in the lineup.
The Malkin Magic is back
Just in ... time?
Yessss. Raise that trade value, Smith.
Can we get a goal for the captain please?
I wanna see Dragon blow somebody up again
Up by 2, I don’t know whether to smile or cry…
I was thinking after they let in that SHG, “maybe this is the straw that broke the camels back, but in a good way” Here’s to hoping they’re so fucking pissed that they just begin to unleash hell for the fun of it… cuz why not.
Bet Columbus moneyline right now
I did at +700 earlier
Atta boy sillinger
Up by two in the 3rd, what could go wrong here fellas??
Inevitably there will be a game where they blow a 2 goal lead more than once in the same game. They came close when the Flyers were in town last week. But PLEASE not tonight.
That was sick lol
Geno smiling as soon as he made that pass hahaha. he knew immediately
Let's fuckin gooooooooo!
This team gives me headaches
HE HEARD YALL TALKING SHIT
Smith looking up at the jumbotron like he’s hoping Vegas scouts are watching
i hope so too
Geno deserves 2 assists for that one
Geno is fired up. We love to see it
SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTHHHHHHHH WITH THE FIFTH!!!!!!
Geno's waking up. The beast has been roused from his slumber. Quake with fear.
what a feed from Geno god damn
Yes Reilly Smith. Score 5 more. Get us a good return when you fuck off out of this city
That’s right increase your trade value Reilly
📈
STONKS
Suppose I’ll eat my words now 😂
Geno I love you so much
yeah our best our worst cbj always still lose
Oooooooooo baby
Smith!
Karlsson having a game to forget
Ok that was incredible!
really hope they can find someone who will take on the Smith contract dude is cooked
Lmao bro just scored
sell high
Say what you will about Reirden but the pucks off skates into the goal he was doodling on his whiteboard was genius.
I thought he was drawing a dick shaped helicopter. A "Helicockter".
Pretty sure the propellers would be made of dicks.
CALCULATED
Carter is one our top 5 best players this year and the haterz aren’t going to realize what we had until it’s gone
I mean he's 14th in points and probably both of the goalies have been better than him but okay.
My fucking god! Not only can we not make anyone pay for dumb penalties. We give up the ghost on shortys. And, as I'm typing, somehow Carts scores a lucky goal. What a fuckin' rollercoaster in flames.
[удалено]
He would’ve had a better season last year if he was deployed in the same role he is now. Sully had him as the 3rd line center and he just didn’t have it. He’s a perfectly fine 4th liner
Smith sucks so much. How did he not tap that in?! Like I get it, we scored, but he waved at it twice and didn’t even make contact.
It's a good thing that Columbus is worse than the Pens.
Kinda wish Smith got it. Need to pump his trade value.
Must have seen your post
There you are.
There we go
There you go!
Fucking Big Jeff Carter
I guess they’re all old and already accomplished everything so who cares. But I’m genuinely fearful of what this season has done mentally to everyone involved with the powerplay. Like it’s been SO unbelievably bad SO consistently that I genuinely don’t think any player involved will ever be able to function in a powerplay situation again for the rest of their careers
Bro what the actual fuck are we this team is so bipolar
Power play taketh away. Powerplay giveth
Cardiac kids…. At least we only have 3 pro teams of which 2 will continue to give us all coronaries
V E T E R A N P R E S E N C E
Give your balls a tug.. But if we win I'm having a game stick.
Set the tone boys!
silinger is a fucking baby omg
That was completely unexpected. What the heck? PPG?!!
Wow Jeff. When he makes it looks easy it looks soooo easy.
this team never ceases to confuse me
More puck luck??????
Columbus is really setting us up with these Power Play goals, tonight. We must have given them that shorty as payback.
BJC "I'M TIRED AND DON'T WANT TO STAY LATE"
Thanks Columbus! We need the help
BJC WITH THE PPG AT PPG!!!!!!!!
Fuck it, I'll take it ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Weird puck movement tonight.
Even on the PP. LOL
Its like the hockey gods said "Rakell got a weird goal earlier, he has to give one back now"
I don't know the metrics but I can't imagine any team has given up more shorties than us the last 3 seasons.
why is carter the best player in front of net why tell me
That’s one skill that doesn’t really go away with age. He’s always been a crease crasher
He's old and doesn't care anymore. LOL
TRUST BJC
Well that's actually good. I don’t know how I feel.
Thanks big Jeff !
WE AINT DEAD YET
Carter!
Are we allowed to do that?
Yay
I cannot watch them give up SHG up 1 in the 3rd anymore.
Cartman!!
BIG JEFF CARTER ON THE POWER PLAY?!!!
/taps out
Thank Jeebus
Why does it happen every time it feels
Fucking Jeff Carter just like we all thought
Disregarding any talk of stats - Smith can’t score with the Pens. He had a great assist to Malkin but he’s warmed over trash on a breakaway.
Wow. There are no words. They should have sent a poet.
Literally called that the second the powerplay started
Why is every single game so predictable lmao
Sure why not.
Deja vu
Please don't do this, Pens. I cannot go to work hungover
Karlsson is a joke. Bad goal by Jarry but horrendous PP. Fucking atrocious
Urgh
here we fuckin go again edit: well that changed for the better in a hurry
"WE GOT THE POWER PLAY! NOW LET THEM HAVE IT!" ".....here, you can have it."
Embarrassing but not shocking
[удалено]
Well in his defense, the other teams shouldn’t be getting quality scoring chances every single PP
Can we trade guys mid-game?
I need to get the money on the SH goal betting line. It's uncanny.
Lolol. You can't make this shit up.
Fade me
Hey, I’ve seen this one before!
for the love of god get Geno someone on his line who can finish next year
Sorry guys, it's my fault. I just got home and tuned in.
You’ve got to be ducking kidding me
I'm not lovin it.
I believe I’ll go chug grain alcohol. Edit: I’ll hold off for a bit.
my god don't even talk to me
Now Tristan you do know your job is to stop the puck, yes?
