KEY MOMENTS
Defense was Optional Tonight
Penguins – Capitals combined for 13 goals and there was a lot of these moments
Strong preseason carries over for Brassard with second period goal
[hide]
Brassard had a goal, 6 shots on goal and was at 74% in possession, 76% (13/4) in scoring chance percentage.
Jake Guentzel’s 2 Goal Night
Holby Stones Crosby Early in 1st
Pittsburgh up 1-0 came a toe from making it 2-0 less than three minutes into the game. Crosby was great tonight.
Then Guentzel in the 2nd Period
Matt Murray’s Rough Start
Murray got the win despite allowing 6 goals on 36 shots.

Damn sammich… Pens played the near fully intact Caps and needed a big night from the offence
Vegas played a fringe playoff team… also needed a big night from their O? One guy settled down for the win. Go figure
I like the new format. Less typos and butchered grammar and more videos. Who needs insight and commentary
I missed game but Zatkoff must have played like shiit
Fleury looks good tonight. Vegas needs 6 to win tonight. Sam will have a hot take on this one. #samisaretard
This is going to be a long season. I don’t know what’s going to make it feel long season. Murray in net or npl and his nonsense on this site
You will… you hate everyone on the team not named Crosby or Letang. You are a bandwagon fan, when this era ends you’ll retreat to the Habs… fuckkoff
It’s really too bad sam is hanging on to the bandwagon here… he makes it hard to celebrate individual successes of fan favourite players.
He’s a Montreal fan that comes on a Pens message board because they’re good. Essentially, he’s a bandwagon Montreal fan and likes to take out his frustrations on a successful franchise. It’s comical.
That Montreal bandwagon broke down years ago. MB is a terrible driver and an even worse GM.
Coming from a guy that wants to trade this successful franchise players. Fleury Crosby letang. . 1 down 2 to go your dream might come true to destroy this franchise eventually and be called Kansas at some point once Crosby era is done . Just look at tonight Crosby vs ovi last year’s champs and you had so many empty seats. While leafs game the other night vs habs there were a lot of people outside the arena watching the game on a big screen as if they are in playoffs yet was game 1 vs ahl team habs. You’re… Read more »
You’ve been begging to trade Malkin for a decade you dumb fuck lol
Those Leafs fans were not there to see Montreal that is for sure. Are you gonna jump back and forth tomorrow between boards and cheer for who ever is winning and bash whoever is losing? Fraud Murray, Fraud Price, Fraud Malkin, Fraud Webber…
Lying organization the goal this year was letang play less minutes well he played close to 26 min tonight by far most in the team
I guess those type players grow on trees trade him already
This isn’t Montreal, they don’t give away assets for garbage and scream they won…
He’s a pp specialist and they had a lot of them.
Letang 3 points… even on the night lol
Should have been a -1. His assist on Malkins goal came 2 seconds after the PP expired
You make no sense clown
Math sucks
Didn’t his first goal happen just as a PP expired too?
No, guess we can’t back that up lol
Kessel 2 points even on the night
Your Russian 3 points even on the night
Crosby 2 points plus 2
For sure you don’t see that
Fake Canadian wanabe American lol
Probably cuz they were on a line with Letang while Sid had the benefit of playing with Guentzel 😉

“A Norris caliber”
Haha that’s great. The classic flamingo.
Kudos to Letang hitting the net from the point. This could be a huge development.
Pens needed 7 for fraud Murray
Caps needed 8 for Vezina winner Holtby…
Letang played like a norris caliber
Game winner by a Canadian
Game winner assist by Captain Geno
Geno was the main reason caps came back in the game. Just check caps 5th goal
https://i0.wp.com/insidepittsburghsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/F1EA1DD1-9C67-4292-8E31-CA18AA237FD1.gif
Geno was a “man” reason the Pens has the lead in the first place.
Who got the game winner assist? All Letang had to do was shoot
Letang sucksss
PP specialist
Geno with the game winner assist! That’s what matters!
Goal was on the PP. Doesnt count.
Pens defensive game was garbage but hey… we know they can score lol
Hopefully that’s his announcement he’s gonna be all the way back
See…
Letang should have shot!
A lot of things not ideal tonight but… what a fun game. If Johnson scored could you imagine the reaction? Get that extra point boys
Hahaha Marc Bergevin is at the game. He’s trying everything to stay out of Montreal.
Or maybe habs playing pens next game dont you think he is also friend with mario
He has also played for the pens something you might not know since your hockey started in 2016
Then explain being a terrible GM…
Yeah, and 7 other teams too.
Just in case zerotool you missed your sheary. Sabres down 4-0 sheary -2
Shows he doesn’t need Sid
Agreed, game one… it’s over… that’s Buffalos year lol
He’s minus one you fucken liar lol
I am glad DeSmith is the Pens backup goalie… Yes that was sarcasim!!
Anyone miss Fleury?
Imagine if Wilson played
This must be npls favourite entertaining ping pong game
Hey zerotool you were happy at least shots were not glove side and I said if it goes glove pen’s will need more
Nice to see Letang shadowing Dumo on that one
Now look at this fool with his agenda yet doesn’t see the nice pass by the Russian giving caps momentum on that oshie goal
Geno stepping up in the third with an even strength goal.
Nice pass by geno on caps 5th goal
Nice pass by Geno on the winner…
