Pittsburgh Penguins Playoff “Time Out”





Head Coach Dan Bylsma can take one time out per game. I think now would be a good time for him to call a “time out” regarding the playoffs. 

Friday night – loads of words come to mind – surprising, ugly, embarrassing, lack of effort are the ones that I have been seeing. Whatever your summation one thing is crystal clear – this was not the same team that showed up on Wednesday night.

The Penguins need to get back to what they do best:

  • 1.       Dump pucks in deep and be aggressive on the forecheck.
  • 2.       Get physical with good clean checks. Let the Islanders know who is boss.
  • 3.       Shot blocking. Was truly amazed with how many shots were blocked with sticks on Wednesday.
  • 4.       Stay disciplined and out of the box.
  • 5.       Good team defense. Help Marc Andre Fleury out – clear the crease of players and pucks.
  • 6.       Great passing.
  • 7.       More shots on net.

If Dan, Tony, and Todd can get the players to do this playoff game in and playoff game out, My wife and I will see you at a finals game at Consol in June. If not, they will be joining the Flyers on the golf course soon.
Let’s Go Pens !
