DK's Daily Shot of Penguins: Whatever, just keep it up

[@jerryyeager1307]

Thank you DK. They keep playing well, Those rebounds, happen so fast at times if you don't blink we miss them. Stay on the puck and keep the pressure on. Lets go Pens ! Awesome DK.

41 games into this season, the Pens are looking like they have a legitimate shot to make the playoffs, that will be a positive result!

The Penguins record in overtime games over the past few seasons is mind-boggling bad.

[@davehedges4250]

Was at the game, it was clear Brind'amour has a plan and a strategy and the Pens just chase. Just doesn't seem like Sully has a cohesive strategic plan to execute. All the Canes goals were a third player following the play and getting a clear shot. Without the first 2 minutes, this would have been a blow out.

[@danharshman]

If pens didn't have to play second periods they would be undefeated

[@militant_daisies]

everytime i see Matt Nieto in penguins jersey i get angry.

[@Wolfe2001]

Don’t get the purpose of him they say Penalty killing. But we got Acciari Doc, Rusty, Glass. That can do just that Nieto is just doing cardio

[@SuccessIsYourDestiny]

Its time to upgrade the mindset - The penguins ARE the Team t9 beat. --- time to start playing with some swag.

[@westwest1029]

seems like we haven’t beat the rags in awhile either i’ll be at the game february 23rd against those goons. disappointing but not that upset with the outcome the wildcard spots will be tight no matter what there isn’t 1 clear front runner for it as of now

The Penguins ran into two teams that I don't see them beating in a series. Carolina has their number and they do a great job exploiting what is wrong with this squad. Watching the game, line one was on the ice for a lot of goals, while they are the teams offense most nights, they've become easy to play against, especially in the defensive zone. Rust did not have a good game last night, both him and Rakell were cheating. With that said, the way Crosby was serving it up in the first, and frankly over the last two games, if finished could"ve been the difference of a win or lose. I do have issues with Sullivan, Hayes had two great scoring opportunities and cashed in on one, yet there was no reward with more ice time? Why would any player want to come to Pittsburgh only to be buried on the third and fourth lines no matter how well you are playing, he refuses to change anything with the top six whether they are going or not, or are defensively weak. Personally I think Sid with Rakell & Bunting, Geno with Rust & Hayes, and the bottom six do whatever, they don't contribute much. As a team they have improved greatly, but avering 10 shots a game after 30, or shut down Sid and they lose, says they still need some help, big time.

[@SiimViisut]

Carolina goals were scored sou accurately so that Nedeljkovic had no change. Aho and Co is good now, no questions. Columbus vs Pittsburgh will come 4points game:)

[@purrsnickety8269]

What is up with Malkin? Sure, Crosby isn't scoring goals like he should but he's still over a PPG. Malkin is playing shitty compared to last year...hell even at the beginning of the seqson when everyone else was playing shitty, Malkin was the only one scoring.

[@maczed31]

The Pens don't have top line wingers...they have two second line wingers, rust and rakell...and neither is on Malkin's line....Who has skill to score aside from Rakell (great shot and offensive instincts, Rust is a grinding goal scorer)...no one....definitely non on second line...I think Malkin and Crosby are old they need supportive wingers...and if they put both the top wingers on Sid's line, then Malkin doesn't get any of them

[@bobearthquakepumpkinfarm7455]

Another oh no, 2-0. I still count this OT as a loss. Just seems they can never win when they score the first 2. It does seem to be an attitude. The attitude is to expect to win every game. The only thing I like about this one is that we didn't get blown out.

[@edom4080]

I think the Overtime rules need to be changed. Anyone agree? The 3 on 3 just isnt very interesting as it is now. Whoever wins the faceoff can just control the play until they;ve ground down the D..Just score when the D is tired...or bored. Dont even have to do much. Like last night. I think once you enter the opponents zone you should have to stay there. This would make OT a lot more exciting...and fair

[@GaryRogers-jk1ob]

Close doesn’t count except in horseshoes! Old saying huh? Even older is the Pens lose again even if it was close!!!

[@brandonrickner1321]

Am I taking crazy pills? McGroarty captained team USA to a world Juniors championship. Does this fanbase have the selective memory of a goldfish? The crying over Yager is insane. He looked mid at best in the tournament.

[@Koshea69]

I guess I'll just turn the show off, I came here based on the title thinking someone else had lost the anger at loosing and given into apathy like me. Keep trying to hold their feet to the fire and maybe, just maybe I'll see a couple final scores that tell me it's ok to feel again at some point.

[@blutomindpretzel1735]

stop blowing leads. Simple as that. But Carolina is just one of those teams that are unbeatable on the road I was at that 2018 game. Stopped going since.

[@andrewkmac3507]

I'm sorry but I admit I'm needlessly annoyed with your face comment everyday.

[@christopherweir6445]

Man , every beat writer protects Rutger like he’s their own child . Why can’t anyone criticize this kid like they destroy any CANADIAN kid in the system “underperforming “ ? Kids American , so guess he’s the media darling ……doesn’t matter if he’s a solid talent …or not..

[@andrewkmac3507]

No I don't agree. Rutger led US to gold last yr... Canada at world JR'S doesn't always pick a "star" as Captain but someone that is a great leader or locker guy... I watched every second of canada at world juniors and I'm not impressed with what the Jets are getting... I'm happy with the trade. We got more skill in return.

[@brandonrickner1321]

He has like 12 points in his last 14 games. I think the disconnect for you is that you have no clue how development for a prospect works therefore you're angry for no reason. I've watched nearly every Wilkes-Barre game this season and his early deployment was intentional and aimed at exactly what DK highlighted in the latter half of this video. He was working on his defensive game and penalty kills. In the last few weeks, he has been largely on a line that has been offensive minded. That's how development works.

[@hockeyfreak043]

Cant wait till this season is over mabe we can sell the so called starter an back up .thats all we need someone to keep the puck out when we need it...
