GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Blue Jackets (03.07.23) | Zucker Reaches 20-Goal Milestone

[@jonpenguin303]

Zucker is DEFINITELY the motivation behind this team.

[@ihavenomindandimustthink]

They needed a new one ever since we gave away fleury.

He kinda reminds me of Patrick Hornquist

I'm happy when we have somebody playing like this for us because you're right, the issue is that Lord Stanley's Cup doesn't seem to be enough sometimes. #LGP

[@JekitySnekity]

Slow start yet a beautiful comeback. Jarry had trouble in that first half but he was off the hook as our offense absolutely exploded in that second half. Good on DeSmith for shutting the door, Zucker for his two goals, great for Guentzel to rid of his goal drought, nice goal for Heinen and fitting to see Crosby net the overtime winner. Let's take what we did in the third and in overtime and stun the Islanders Thursday.

[@c.9914]

Can't lose Zucker, man. Not sure if they just lucked out with the goalie being ill but it's a relief to see them on this side of overcoming a deficit with that roster. Hope Alex Nylander gets more time.

[@markus_sharkus]

The Malkin and Zucker combo has been insane! What a goal scoring duo!

[@Vincentdunn111]

WHAT A COMEBACK

[@bassventurafretdetective8899]

What an amazing comeback! Zucker is having an amazing season. Go Pens!🐧

[@ICLight412]

This a game Pens defiantly needed! Awesome win boys!

[@floreveepokelove4209]

What an epic comeback and the GOAT our captain SIDNEY CROSBY who finish this OT, never kill the Penguins. It’s never over!!!

[@derekenlow7607]

Malkin and Carter had great games too. Seen alot of pep in their step tonight.

[@PenzeHockey]

Jason Zucker is on fire

WHAT A COMEBACK BOYS!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ELVIS HAS JUST LEFT THE BUILDING!!!! 🖤💛🖤💛

[@floreveepokelove4209]

The legendary Elvis but also the goaler. 😂

[@eddie8306]

Zucker has been the best penguin for the last three weeks. Playing the best hockey of his life and I’m glad he’s a penguin.

[@CVG_Flights]

The comeback!

[@hockeypenguins46]

Let's go Penguins!!!

[@pinpointaccuracy7978]

Excellent game geno.

[@emmittmatthews8636]

Zucker is so impressive this season. He's critical to this team. Good thing we didn't dump him like so many of us wanted! Lol Good to see Alex Nylander get in a game! I'm pulling for the kid. He's shown some flashes of NHL ability for sure. Hard to believe he hasn't played in the NHL since 2019-2020.

[@TheAvsFanatic]

He has shown some flashes! In the AHL, Elite Prospects projects as being a point per game player (and he got an assist in this game as well)

[@toddwilliams8128]

Crosby was Zucker-esque in OT. Grats on 20... a toast to many more.

[@EternallyThankful-os6pz]

NOW THAT WAS A GAME !!!!!!

[@djpeteyc]

Amazing comeback tonight!

[@jaydendawkins5254]

I love you guys

[@user-pk1ss6cm9d]

greatest comeback yet

[@Burgher1605]

Nice comeback boys.

[@pensfan2384]

C'mon boys let's go, slow start but we come back strong

[@notdfue1987]

I love watching these not knowing whats gonna happen. Man I was mad around the 5 minute mark

[@coltoncarson_UKR-RUS]

I'm going to PPG on April 2nd can't wait!

[@kohl403]

Zuck got absolutely stabbed by Geno after his second goal and took it like nothing happened

[@myklemonde5849]

LET"S GO PENS!!!

What a comeback, lets go pens🐧

[@SunShine-pr1gz]

the comeback of the life

[@staglione79]

LET'S GO BOYS !!!

[@djm712]

Embarrassing to go down 4-0 to these chumps in the first place, but happy the boys came together and brought it back.

[@connorplayz8591]

We’re winning the championship 🐧🏆

[@ikemarkle6057]

YES SIR FINALLY SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN THIS TEAM

[@elitetrader5468]

Let's make the playoffs first. One step at a time.

[@cliffordfarley30]

I can’t wait to see the team at full health. 4 stacked lines. And also for bonino to get his first goal back as a penguin. The place is going to erupt.

[@peaceandwealthseeker4504]

Zucker and Desmith!!

[@thegreenbrick]

Hats off to Zucker and our offense. But we shouldn’t have had to make this comeback. Having played defense myself, our defense needs attention.

[@joeheid2776]

Pens have figured out this overtime thing.

[@theoldboy70]

I didn’t see that coming.

[@Thrieme]

Had us in the first have not going lie

[@Cookie12635W]

THAT IS WHY HE IS THE GOAT 87

[@lil-chevy8487]

cant blame jarry ,where was the defense ,lucky to come back from that

[@MrNeilgoetze]

Don’t get me wrong, malkin was flat footed and unaware on D leading directly to two goals against this game. But I’ll take 3 points in a comeback to make up for it! 🐧🐧🐧

Pens +800 when they were down 4 - 0 EASY MONEY

[@benjammin1212]

lets go pens

[@PabloDame]

Everyone who doubted Casey DeSmith should be ashamed of you!

[@TheAvsFanatic]

Do y’all remember when Detroit came back and beat us 5-4 after we were up 4-0? This is that, but with Columbus and the roles reversed

[@kerareal8469]

No Blueger,no party

[@shannontoth9945]

Pens looked slow and weak!! How bad did this game have to go for Columbus!!??

[@djm712]

Dee-fence? What is this word?

[@VetGoalie76]

So instead of Hextall fixing the goalie issue by getting Gibson from Anaheim, we have to deal with Jarry and his horrible goaltending.

[@TheAvsFanatic]

We also got a former penguin, a “good center” (Hexy’s words, not mine) and a dman that is prolly gonna be scratched or in a POJ-Kulikov cycle

[@lesschoenberger3070]

Coach Sully gonna need a LOT more black hair dye to cover up the grey hairs this team is giving him lol!!!

[@PenzeHockey]

[@dublenki_toscana_enterfino]

😂🎉🎉🎉 Stanley Cup 🌍

[@wesleystevens7283]

This team desperately needs a goalie 😢

[@TheAvsFanatic]

Ik Hexy wanted to trade DeSmith (and there were leaked rumors of him being sent for Chychurn before Ottawa took him) (They also said he’d be a part of a possible Chychurn-Vejmelka (arizona’s goalie) deal) Plus, many sources said pens should try and get Pittsburgh Native John Gibson off the Ducks! Other sources said Cam Talbot and Thatcher Demko

[@Tommy_Klee23]

Tf was that

[@theginganinja-_-7695]

Jarry 👎🏻

[@Roy-qn2ie]

Malkin twice not defending and letting the trailer score, awful
