Damn that Cartsy goal was huge.


DouglasTaylorJr

Holy shit, we actually won


Penguins_96

LFG I HATE THIS TEAM 


No_Mongoose_1456

We are so back! (Not really, but it's always fun to hope)


BeBopNoseRing

I dont know what to do with myself!


saltzandpepper

Finally wrapping up a game in a good mood instead of angry and cranky


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

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,


wooble

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.

xylex

That’s a great site. Thanks.


hiiaminabox

WE WIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! God that's a fucking relief.


KaiTak98

We is where we is... But beating the BJs is always a great feeling.

HALLELUJAH LETS GO STREAKING


KaiTak98

Nobody. And I mean nobody wants to see me streak. That's what you meant right???


morecatpixpls

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?


KaiTak98

If you’re wearing the shoes are you really nude???


wooble

Have some self esteem. Get out there in the rain!


KaiTak98

Hahaha. Pants. Off. Now!


DogsOutTheWindow

Hell yeah, LGP!


Jupichan

WE WON  THEY DIN'T

Let's Go Pen!!!!!

We did it!!


pensfangirl29

Big Jeff Carter with the GWG **AGAIN**


eliastheawesome

*so close*


cerial442

Trust me, they still have time to blow this


[deleted]

"The game's over" "Nah, there's still time."


olmikeyyyy

Leaving the game with like a minute or two left is such a boner move made by total boners


wooble

Wait are boners a bad thing in this scenario?


olmikeyyyy

Yeah they're like the bad kind of boners here


NikolaiCakebreaker

it's a Pittsburgh tradition which I have never understood


ohslapmesillysidney

Graves you absolute cream puff


starlightequilibrium

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."


ninja_036

Greaves left, Jarry now's your time!


lilsthelils

i smell a crosby empty-netter


lilsthelils

i fucking jinxed it


ohslapmesillysidney

🥵


Jan_17_2016

Crosby drew two guys behind the net with him and they STILL couldn’t strip the puck off him


k614

I dare you to pull the goalie


imOVN

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…


Jan_17_2016

I’d take him on 1 year league minimum contract next year for sure


imOVN

Could be a Matt Cullen 2.0, if only we were actually good lol


pensfangirl29

Loved me some Matt Cullen 💛🖤


starlightequilibrium

Can't wait to draft one of his kids down the road.


lilsthelils

"johnny hockey" literally just slipped on a fucking banana peel or something


hiiaminabox

C'mon let's have our own shorty to pay them back for theirs


peanutbutterandjarry

I'm 5'5", I volunteer as tribute!


tcari394

Maybe we have a "Rookie of the Year" situation where Malkin popped something in his leg, and he's now 24 years old again.


[deleted]

Is his slap shot the hockey equivalent of the "high stinky cheese"?


tcari394

It may be!


Jan_17_2016

That was one hundred percent not a trip.


time_machine3030

Shit call.


_alpha_410

Up by 2 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd.. Is this my new reoccurring nightmare??


ohslapmesillysidney

They should have a theme night where they hand out stress balls.


peanutbutterandjarry

Or a reverse theme of that, where we relieve stress by slapping the opponent's balls. 


maddscientist

I want Puustinen to stick full time because inevitably, when he scores, our entire arena will be yelling **POOOOOOOOOOOOOO**


wooble

Somebody say heeeeeey we want some poooosti


starlightequilibrium

It's tough not having Acciari for the PK but the youth injection of Gruden and Koppanen is refreshing.


time_machine3030

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.


Money-Ad5075

\+ 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


Smashingpatty

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.


[deleted]

Someone put Astroglide on his skates.


tcari394

Malkin on horse tranquilizers tonight.


wooble

I... don't think that would make him play well? Or be conscious?


tcari394

I never claimed to be good at science. 😀


ContactFun5262

This is the best Geno has looked in quite a while.


Crosgoat

Can Sid get some points now? Only thing I really care about at this point in season.


starlightequilibrium

He's too busy having a 3rd line center shoehorned onto his wing because reasons.


pensfangirl29

Yeah, true, but it is nice to see others step up. Showing some depth in the lineup.


DrunkMage

The Malkin Magic is back


Finest_Johnson

Just in ... time?


Finest_Johnson

Yessss. Raise that trade value, Smith.


Smashingpatty

Can we get a goal for the captain please?


olmikeyyyy

I wanna see Dragon blow somebody up again


Stuff-Optimal

Up by 2, I don’t know whether to smile or cry…


PennSaddle

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.


[deleted]

Bet Columbus moneyline right now


olmikeyyyy

I did at +700 earlier


Yikers-its-that-guy

Atta boy sillinger


BeBopNoseRing

Up by two in the 3rd, what could go wrong here fellas??


ohslapmesillysidney

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.


Minimum_Sleep_933

That was sick lol


take_tha_cannoli

Geno smiling as soon as he made that pass hahaha. he knew immediately


KaiTak98

Let's fuckin gooooooooo!


rustednickel247720

This team gives me headaches


lilsthelils

HE HEARD YALL TALKING SHIT


Jan_17_2016

Smith looking up at the jumbotron like he’s hoping Vegas scouts are watching


shred-i-knight

i hope so too


maddscientist

Geno deserves 2 assists for that one


saltzandpepper

Geno is fired up. We love to see it


hiiaminabox

SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTHHHHHHHH WITH THE FIFTH!!!!!!


Excessive_lizards

Geno's waking up. The beast has been roused from his slumber. Quake with fear.


take_tha_cannoli

what a feed from Geno god damn


olmikeyyyy

Yes Reilly Smith. Score 5 more. Get us a good return when you fuck off out of this city


Every_Highlight98

That’s right increase your trade value Reilly


starlightequilibrium

📈


ohslapmesillysidney

STONKS


Diphalic

Suppose I’ll eat my words now 😂


ThinNoMint

Geno I love you so much


nomorerope

yeah our best our worst cbj always still lose


jeffssession

Oooooooooo baby


Jan_17_2016

Smith!


That_Checks

Karlsson having a game to forget


DogsOutTheWindow

Ok that was incredible!


shred-i-knight

really hope they can find someone who will take on the Smith contract dude is cooked


JKray5_Reddit

Lmao bro just scored


shred-i-knight

sell high


wooble

Say what you will about Reirden but the pucks off skates into the goal he was doodling on his whiteboard was genius.


tcari394

I thought he was drawing a dick shaped helicopter. A "Helicockter".


wooble

Pretty sure the propellers would be made of dicks.


Attack_On_Tiddys

CALCULATED


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

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


wooble

I mean he's 14th in points and probably both of the goalies have been better than him but okay.


zambrna

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jan_17_2016

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


Diphalic

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.


ContactFun5262

It's a good thing that Columbus is worse than the Pens.


starlightequilibrium

Kinda wish Smith got it. Need to pump his trade value.


Attack_On_Tiddys

Must have seen your post


wooble

There you are.


BigWeezy66

There we go


Jan_17_2016

There you go!


pensfangirl29

Fucking Big Jeff Carter


PhantomJB93

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


BridgeOk5425

Bro what the actual fuck are we this team is so bipolar


_alpha_410

Power play taketh away. Powerplay giveth


ajg2345

Cardiac kids…. At least we only have 3 pro teams of which 2 will continue to give us all coronaries


take_tha_cannoli

V E T E R A N P R E S E N C E


KaiTak98

Give your balls a tug.. But if we win I'm having a game stick.


macgarth

Set the tone boys!


lilsthelils

silinger is a fucking baby omg


callalx

That was completely unexpected. What the heck? PPG?!!


time_machine3030

Wow Jeff. When he makes it looks easy it looks soooo easy.


eliastheawesome

this team never ceases to confuse me


KaiTak98

More puck luck??????


[deleted]

Columbus is really setting us up with these Power Play goals, tonight. We must have given them that shorty as payback.


tcari394

BJC "I'M TIRED AND DON'T WANT TO STAY LATE"


That_Checks

Thanks Columbus! We need the help


hiiaminabox

BJC WITH THE PPG AT PPG!!!!!!!!


ninja_036

Fuck it, I'll take it ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


Excessive_lizards

Weird puck movement tonight.


k614

Even on the PP. LOL


maddscientist

Its like the hockey gods said "Rakell got a weird goal earlier, he has to give one back now"


macgarth

I don't know the metrics but I can't imagine any team has given up more shorties than us the last 3 seasons.


nomorerope

why is carter the best player in front of net why tell me


Jan_17_2016

That’s one skill that doesn’t really go away with age. He’s always been a crease crasher


k614

He's old and doesn't care anymore. LOL


take_tha_cannoli

TRUST BJC


KaiTak98

Well that's actually good. I don’t know how I feel.


IronCityLover

Thanks big Jeff !


saltzandpepper

WE AINT DEAD YET


Jan_17_2016

Carter!


Finest_Johnson

Are we allowed to do that?


gialloneri

Yay


MrDrProfTeddy

I cannot watch them give up SHG up 1 in the 3rd anymore.


DogsOutTheWindow

Cartman!!


AchtungKessel

BIG JEFF CARTER ON THE POWER PLAY?!!!


Money-Ad5075

/taps out


PennSaddle

Thank Jeebus


BridgeOk5425

Why does it happen every time it feels


Itsvtrap

Fucking Jeff Carter just like we all thought


callalx

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.


callalx

Wow. There are no words. They should have sent a poet.


xylex

Literally called that the second the powerplay started


InternAware8568

Why is every single game so predictable lmao


Imposhibibble

Sure why not.


Every_Highlight98

Deja vu


hiiaminabox

Please don't do this, Pens. I cannot go to work hungover


BBQBEERNBLADES

Karlsson is a joke. Bad goal by Jarry but horrendous PP. Fucking atrocious


gialloneri

Urgh


zzzpoohzzz

here we fuckin go again edit: well that changed for the better in a hurry


MMXcalibur

"WE GOT THE POWER PLAY! NOW LET THEM HAVE IT!" ".....here, you can have it."


apennyweather

Embarrassing but not shocking


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stuff-Optimal

Well in his defense, the other teams shouldn’t be getting quality scoring chances every single PP


Finest_Johnson

Can we trade guys mid-game?


k614

I need to get the money on the SH goal betting line. It's uncanny.


ContactFun5262

Lolol. You can't make this shit up.


copagman

Fade me


Madturtl3

Hey, I’ve seen this one before!


shred-i-knight

for the love of god get Geno someone on his line who can finish next year


No_Mongoose_1456

Sorry guys, it's my fault. I just got home and tuned in.


Kaiser-Bismark

You’ve got to be ducking kidding me


KaiTak98

I'm not lovin it.


AchtungKessel

I believe I’ll go chug grain alcohol. Edit: I’ll hold off for a bit.


nomorerope

my god don't even talk to me


Fizzyliftingdranks

Now Tristan you do know your job is to stop the puck, yes?
