GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Avalanche (02.07.23) | DeSmith Earns .976 SV% On the Night

[@natemiller1392]

What a comeback!!!! This is what we needed all season!!!

[@natemillergaming]

I like you

[@hootie5903]

so many OT games D:

[@WilliamSchmidNetwork]

Well done boys! Especially you Casey. You really stood on your head tonight.

[@SammieScotia]

Huge 2 points boys. You all played unreal.

[@BurghFinsFan]

What a great win! Proud of how they battled tonight

[@Krank01]

Man I wish I could see a game in Pittsburgh sometime! A big dream of mine, good job on the win boys! love from Sweden :)

[@vladi.polovtsev]

We need at least 2 victories on the upcoming road trip. Let's see how Casey will look there. THis one really looks like it was an exceptional performance, but , hey, maybe this is going to be the turning point when he gets that stable confidence. Geno line took over big time in clutch time, and so good to see the Big 3 capitalizing for the OT winner! Cheers, Pens!

[@ikemarkle6057]

Well they get the Anaheim (unl)ucks first on Friday which will be easy and then LA the very next day which will not be easy then San Jose next week which will be kind of mid.

[@jonpenguin303]

Penalty kill was great tonight and DeSmith was on his game! Defense still needs work but the Pens didn't quit! If this team can play with even half of the intensity Zucker brings each game....they might just find a playoff spot. Keep fighting boys!! GO PENS GO!!

[@Dandinskij26]

Casey!!!! What a performance. Without him, we would not have any points. Both goalies performed greatly. Brilliant!

[@coltoncarson_UKR-RUS]

Now keep the wins coming! LGP!!! 🖤💛 Great night for Tanger!

[@juniorjr4815]

Man, if the Pens don't start playing some solid defense we can forget about a playoff run. Thank goodness for great goaltending.

[@phillipsal57]

The last 7 mins of the game was pretty instense. Another Overtime goal from kris letang! What a win! Let’s go Pens!!

[@daybydaylet]

It’s a game like this that makes the Penguins synonymous with the word “relentless”

[@TheAvsFanatic]

In a good way or a bad way..?

[@reaper2r]

@@TheAvsFanatic do you consider winning good?

[@TheAvsFanatic]

@@reaper2r winning is a win-lose case. You can win and make the sc playoffs, but it also hurts u draft picks in the process

[@KrackerJack5586]

One of the best games I've seen in a long time man Colorado is one great team Casey was rocking tonight without him we don't get this win

[@kylebaker5982]

Without desmith ehh maybe but if it wasn't for desmith and jarry in net for the past month or however long its been we'd be in the 3rd seat right now and not hanging on to a wild card for dear life. 1 good game does not excuse all the other horrific games but we'll c if he can build something of this or if he's going to have more games like most of the ones he's had this season

[@fredd4320]

Casey absolutely stood on his head

[@SunShine-pr1gz]

DeSmith Clutch insane WIN versus the CHAMPS great comeback in third periods boys

[@Ando2k10]

Definitely not Casey DeSwiss, tonight. Hope he stays as sharp the rest of the season.

[@DarkHorse902]

Desmith finally out there looking like an NHL caliber goalie. Great seeing Tanger get the OT winner!

[@adamg7984]

He looked better than his pay grade in this one. Remember, he's a back up and not a starter and this level of tending is as good as anyone. If only he showed up like that more, but that's why he's not the starter. I just hope he can either find his best consistently or the Penguins can find another goalie to help ease the burden on DeSmith until Jarry is back. I don't get why they've not gotten someone off waivers just to throw in and try during one of DeSmith and the team's many down times.

[@captainskeletor7783]

LET'S GO!!! 🐧🏒🥅🚨🚨

[@tamasalborov574]

Bravo Pen's!!!!

[@chasrock68]

Look at the fans and their reactions to the game winning shot. Priceless!!

[@chucky2pucky]

Letang straight up just said "hold my beer" this game

[@staglione79]

LET'S GO BOYS!!!!

[@Tequilll]

Отличный результат! Спасибо команде! Пожалуйста, пожестче и повнимательнее в защите.

[@Chilly_Billy]

Well played, boys. Keep it up. Good seeing ERod again.

[@MrFreeth26]

Solid character win from the boys vs a really good team. Something to build off down the stretch. Let’s go pens.

[@joeinc1236]

Desmith had enough

[@bonehead2768]

I'm just happy they got this win on my birthday!!!!!!

[@musicluvr70]

Amazing, De Smith actually resembled a goalie last night.

[@tuckersdadnb]

That was electrifying!! Playoff atmosphere..I'd be extremely disappointed if the Pens dont clinch a spot this year. Over 3 decades of loyalty. GO PENS GO 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

[@cherylgessner109]

There was no way that this could be a better game. Ot penalty kill goal with 3 minutes left in the third, Crosby extends his point streak😃😄😀

[@robbyers7614]

Awesome

[@gideonplays814]

Desmith MVP

[@HippieP629]

Incredible game!!

[@maikelvandebovenkamp]

Yes...good job guy's

[@boolikethebear]

this recap "they're calling it a goal on the ice". *cuts to avs PP* huh? what?

[@andrex8888]

It’s very obvious that DeSmith had plenty of spicy pork and broccoli before this game great win pens

[@livetotell100]

Let's see if they can win the next 8 games.

[@ikemarkle6057]

Prob not but they could if they can win against especially LA, San Jose, and Edmonton.

[@nabhannbn]

Lets go pens, this is what we need

[@zaxterdeep6757]

Jeffy wasn’t watching the puck on MacKinnon’s goal. What is he doing?? Sully putting him first line in overtime: see he can win face offs he needs to be in the lineup! Regardless, great game!!

[@crimsonhawk4478]

Carter has the best faceoff percentage on the team. He goes out to win the faceoff and heads to the bench for Guentzel once the Pens have possession. They've been doing it the last few games that went to OT. Avs tried to match the tactic tonight with Nate coming on after the faceoff.

[@ikemarkle6057]

This game should have been 7-6 again.

[@karlerrickson9725]

Nice😜 I'll take it

[@kylebaker5982]

Pens were absolutely just dominated tonight and was NOT a pretty win at all but fortunately for the pens we did have 1 player show up who has pretty much not shown up in any of his games lately, desmith, that said we'll c if he can keep this going or goes back to coin flip casey

[@hemihead001]

Can't the Pens win in Regulation anymore ?

[@markroberts9577]

Penguins had no business winning this game let alone getting a point to take it into overtime! penguins defense is really atrocious
