Great way for Geno to enter the season high on confidence and build on it quickly as he likely gets 499 & 500 in the first handful of games.

[@muradsaeedHockey]

I really like what I saw from pickering and brunicke. Both obviously need seasoning but their performance was encouraging

[@1pbdecoded1pb]

Sid on the backdoor and Geno getting some bounces. Hopefully it is an omen for the season.

[@TonyP-ft1tu]

Skenes did in fact win ROY. 🎉
I agree about Glass man. He is fast! He gets on pucks quick and that’s someone we need in the lineup. Top two lines looked fantastic, and really happy with how the power play looked too. We were moving our feet, moving the puck around quick, taking good quality shots and not forcing any. Loved the game.

Pens were a little rusty at first once the legs got going it was their game, THE BIGGEST CHANGE WAS PUCKS AT THE NET and they got some bounces. Watch Pusti get a hat trick in his next game, I will laugh so hard. Agreed Hunter OP and HB played a solid game if they continue to improve Pens D looking really solid for the next 5 or so years

[@thegreatestking2817]

I like what I seen on the pp I know people say pre season don’t matter but I was in Halifax last year vs the sens and they there pp looked like it did during the reg season last year absolutely terrible. So it’s encouraging to see them pot a few

[@bryanelliott6662]

Am really impressed with brunicke. For a 6'3 almost 190 lb man he skates really well. I agree he'll end up back in juniors but definitely showing something in camp. Grzelcyk is on a one year deal. Pickering does well in ahl and possibly during call up stints. He could be a full time nhler next year. I think glass will get the roster spot. Has looked good. They could keep both puljujarvi and glass. Rotate them in and out during the season. I like puustinen but hasn't shown me much the preseason.

[@cjcolaizzi1213]

I really like the depth of the bottom 6 for the Pens. They seem to have a solid mix across their potential 3rd and 4th lines which is very encouraging. What this season comes down to IMO is if the power play can come back from its way too long hiatus, solid contributions from Rackell, whomever is on Sid's other wing, a solid PK unit, and timely goal tending. Of course I'm not including injuries in this equation because it's the Penguins and they're like a broken mirror plus a black cat= walking under 3 ladders when it comes to injuries.

[@MayhemMatty]

Side note: Murashov is assigned to WBS, most likely to sit behind Blomqvist. I expected him to start in Wheeling, but this is a good surprise.

[@LockedOnPenguins]

Yup that came out right after we posted! I expect Murashov to probably still start in Wheeling since he’s only in training camp for WBS right now. Not a guarantee he’s there for the whole season
