GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Lightning (02.26.23) | Keeping Momentum

[@BurghFinsFan]

That onslaught at the end of the second period was the most exciting moment of the season. Getting all 4 possible points this weekend was HUGE.

[@JohnThePGHAndPSUFanatic]

Now THAT is how you play Pittsburgh Penguins hockey!!! Great job boys!!! I can happily say: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ELVIS HAS JUST LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!

[@ethaxepgh]

What a change

[@JekitySnekity]

Spectacular team effort by our team to take down an Atlantic behemoth. I am especially ecstatic about Blueger's drought quenched, Carter's twisted shot, and Dumo's first in nearly 100 games. Complete domination and good work from Casey Desmith too. I hope this electric play carries in for our first matchup against the Predators on Tuesday.

[@decoder88]

Nice comment and glad to see you give credit to DeSmith. So many people love to hate/blame him but as proven in Jarry's previous game. Doesn't matter who you have goal tending if the D is absent. Great to see the Pens show some life.

[@JekitySnekity]

@@decoder88 DeSmith is usually pretty good starting in these one off games too so I don't get why people always bash on him. Sure games like against the Panthers he struggled a bit but if Jarry's healthy usually our defense is mostly the issue

[@johnbarckhoff1627]

Couldn’t have said it better myself my guy, I love these guy win or lose. That Malkin break out of the box got us sparking. Hope to see yinz in the comments again my friends

Blueger drought quenched? Really you will see.

Wow… I don’t even know what to say… I guess…. thank you guys for that performance…. 😭

Lol yeah it’s been awhile since we’ve seen allot of goals lately

[@hemihead001]

Can you imagine if they played the entire season with that passion and fire ?

[@DavidBrown-mx6ci]

Красота то какая) С победой!

[@crosbywood-nz1rp]

Big win💯💯

[@WilliamSchmidNetwork]

That 2nd period was the best the Penguins have played for a long time. I may not expect this the rest of the season but it will definitely help their playoff push.

[@ДамирФастеев]

Go Pens!

[@jamaldee2355]

Best game of the season and malkin got it all started baby!!! Let’s gooo penguins

[@BlackHei711]

Penguins really needed this win. Gotta love five goals in five minutes.

the guy whom always comments about Blueguer not scorring is gonna be happy

[@earlviney5212]

He stinks

[@bassventurafretdetective8899]

Amazing 2nd period! I hope these past two games can bolster some confidence to finish out the season strong and wipe away the recent funk they’ve been in.

[@woofer77]

Pens chilied the Lightning in just two periods. Wow!

[@staglione79]

LET'S GO BOYS !!!

[@brucecook502]

2 in a row LETS GO!!! Please don't make this a short-lived two game Victory Penguins 🥺

[@mryes413]

Good win but still fire Hextall

[@quoting101]

WHAT A SECOND PERIOD! Was really happy for Teddy, BJC, and Dumo to get on the board. Really hoping this weekend boosts their confidence and the Pens can stay in the fight.

[@earlviney5212]

Amazing how trade talk can improve player performance.

[@c.9914]

Whoa

[@drew1299]

1 goal in 100 games wow.

[@nabhannbn]

Lets go pens, lets continue the streak

[@ccoop6057]

Celebrate when we can. Especially when the opposing team starts their 2nd goalie. Elliott is no Vasilevsky. Casey DeSmith has come a long way over the past month or so with Jarry's absence due to injury. If Jarry can get back to pre-injury form, DeSmith maintains where he has gotten to, and the O and D play like we know they can, there might be hope for a deep playoff run. But they're going to have to play well in the last 23 games. Especially against Metro opponents. That's probably stating the obvious, but we know what this team is capable of.

[@tamasalborov574]

Браво Pen's!!!! Один из лучших игр этого сезона! Всем спасибо, мужики!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ikemarkle6057]

The announcer after the Lightning got a great block with the net wide open: That could save the game Jeff Carter: Heck naw bruh I'm boutta score.

[@brendanmcintyre8626]

I have no Idea why wile still have Bryan dumolin that was his first goal in 102

[@livetotell100]

The question is this, will the Pens be able to play like they have for the past 2 games? Or will they lose the next 2 or 3? Cause that's what they have done all season. Except for that 9 out 12, I think, don't quite remember, wining streak in early November.

[@cherylgessner109]

The first and third were boring, but that second period😮

Comeback szn??? 👀👀👀

[@johnandjami1767]

To bad don't play like this all the time lol

[@decoder88]

They do look tighter and better defense in this game. They definitely have their sloppy moments but some games they put in all effort and just have bad puck bounces/penalty calls (or lack of against the other team).

[@jorma123456789]

Kapanen goes away, Pens win games. Was he a locker room cancer?

[@hemihead001]

Now if they can get rid of people like Carter ( 2 Goals in 20 ) and that Diversity Hire .

[@jorma123456789]

@@hemihead001 that would be great, but as long as Hextall is the GM, I'm not expecting anything good.
