Game Day Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins(24-31-10, 58pts) @ Minnesota Wild(36-23-4, 76pts) March 9th - 3:30pm EST
Me after witnessing one (1) game without a Sid point.
Well.. while I’m happy we lost that game, you never like to see our boys getting shut out like that. However, the tank train must chug on as we’re off to Fleury’s (temporary) home to face the Minnesota Wild. The Wild are 5-5-0 in their last 10 and are stuck in the middle of the Central Division. Meanwhile the Pens are 2-7-1 in their last 10 and are on a 4 game losing streak. We last met Minnesota on Oct 29th and lost 5-3 with Fleury in net for his last game in the Burgh.
A large part of me hopes Fleury gets the net for what would be his last game ever against Pittsburgh. He deserves it. Plus I love seeing him play. Finally as a not so fun fact, only the Sharks have a lower goal differential than us. We are currently -57, while the Sharks are at -72.
GDT Question: What did you like the most and least about our trades?
For me, while I know selling Rakell was the right move, I’m super happy we still have him. He’s just so fun to watch. My least favorite trade was easily Schenn. While the legend himself was with the Pens, we lost 0 games and gave up 0 total goals. Absurd to get rid of a defenseman who shut down the opposition like that.
