As a gold-plated droid assembled by a 5-year-old future Sith Lord before going on to have his memory wiped, get dismantled in a Cloud City, reassembled by a Wookie, and finally somehow acquire a red arm before becoming completely redundant to all subsequent events once said:

 

WE'RE DOOMED

That’s what Pittsburgh said. 

 

Murray is suffering from a concussion due to our 5-1 win over them.

Bob Cole already mentioned that Niemi has one shutout in his career against Pittsburgh prior to the game. Not a good start.

Didn’t take long.

I was going to wait until the intermission but I’ll say it now at 0-2: I’m not happy with DeSmith having a shutout against us thus far.

Some thoughts after the first period:

 

- Despite him having played well, I wish Danault were a true top line center

- I’ve been quietly hard on Drouin over the past year but I thought he hustled well in the first 

- Imagine Jordie Benn were a defensive version of Jamie Benn, skill wise

- Lehkonen does a good job of getting to the front of the net 

- I want to see more from Tatar as our first line LW

- I’m going to find myself yelling “shoot” quite often this year when Domi has the puck in the offensive zone

Something tells me you won't be the only one.  He's a good passer but I'd rather see him take some of these open shots.  If nothing else, it'll stop defenders from cheating on the pass.

Tatar accepted my challenge.
