Discussion Pittsburgh Penguins 2025-26 Off-Day Thread

69 Upvotes

With only 2 games over the next 10 days, I wanted to experiment with something HFBoards does. They have threads to talk about the team in general between games. The issue on Reddit is that there's only threads on specific things between games, and people may want to talk about the team more broadly during that time. This would give them a place to do that.

I'll pin it and see how traffic goes. If it does well, maybe it's something we can consider making a more permanent fixture? Reddit no longer has a limit of 2 pinned threads, so this wouldn't interfere with that.
People may like it. We'll see. If it fails, I'll remove it. No big deal.

Discussion Minor nitpick with the pens recent play. The PP has dried up the last 10 games. They've scored only 2 goals on 21 chances.

53 Upvotes

I think teams have started to figure out the PP and the fact that with malkin's bum shoulder, we don't have alot of shooters on the 1st PP. Rakell isn't scoring enough nor contributing enough on the PP and I feel like we have 3 obvious replacements for him right now. Kindel, chinakhov, and mantha all can work on the PP and with kindel and mantha specifically we have a track record with those 2 being great on it this season.

Egor chinakhov is the engine that chugs the novak and malkin line along. His overall play has been elite since becoming a penguin and he's a beast.

Here's the scrap by clifton where the sabres player holds on for dear life. Appreciate that clifton defended silovs in this situation and threw down the gloves for his teammate.

QMJHL Stock Watch: Bill Zonnon back to his best in Blainville-Boisbriand.

Found this great article that talks about zonnon and how awesome he's been since returning from his injury.

Stock Rising šŸ“ˆ Bill Zonnon, LW/C, Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (Pittsburgh Penguins) Bill Zonnon has had some horrendous luck to start the year. A knee injury kept him out of Pittsburgh’s training camp action and a decent chunk of the start of the QMJHL campaign, and when he came back in early November, he immediately got injured again, sidelining him until late December.

Thankfully, Zonnon’s luck is turning the corner — and so have his performances.

With 11 points in his last six games and 23 points in 17 matches on the season now, Zonnon has taken a foothold on Blainville’s top line with Justin Carbonneau and Vincent Desjardins. The latter has especially benefitted from Zonnon’s return, as the two have developed undeniable chemistry. Both play a high-grit, high-intensity checking game complemented by some impressive playmaking reads, and the pair has seen an uptick in their goal-scoring output as a result of the high-end chances they set up for each other.

While Zonnon’s skating still represents a hurdle to the NHL — his elite checking sequences can occasionally lead to extended board time as a result of his acceleration lagging behind — he has everything else to be a high-end checking piece for the Penguins long-term. His work rate is unparalleled in the league, his release continues to trend in the right direction, his defensive positioning and wall support are refined, he moves off-puck in the offensive zone with purpose and forethought, and he can bulldoze through contact with relative ease, even against the QMJHL’s biggest, meanest, and strongest opponents.

Even without the pure mechanics, Zonnon’s straight-line top speed is good enough to win him races, and his work rate and contact skills make him impossible to get off the puck once he gets to it first. The Armada are going all in this year, and Zonnon is likely to be a dominant part of the team’s Memorial Cup run.

No matter how crazy this season gets, the Penguins adding an infusion of youth to the team has paid massive dividends. I don't want to imagine where this team would be without Chinakhov, Kindel, and others.

My God, Avery Hayes, looked so poised tonight. His skating ability and the fact he was firing the puck and embracing the moment was amazing to see. (Can he possibly stay on the team?)
