Je n’ai joué qu’après la mi-temps du 1er, qu’est-ce qu’on fait ? Oui, il a des séquences, mais l’idée de le mettre au banc après trois minutes ce soir est déroutante.

Drouin instead of Duclair is certainly a choice… (and a wrong one)
This is what coaches who are starting to lose the plot do. It’s okay to bench a guy sometimes if they really really fuck up, but Duke is a vet and has the most goals for us in 2026. I do really like Roy as a coach generally but his particular fixation on certain players’ mistakes is grating.
Could be wrong but I thought he was off the bench and in the room, guess we’ll find out but if he’s not hurt you’re totally right.
Patty told reporters it was a “tracking problem” whatever that means
Drouin did fuck all and was -2. Again, it pays to be French Canadian like your coach.
Duke was pretty lost on the first Pens goal – puck watching while Mantha snuck in
This team gets lost often in the D Zone. More guys than not. Can it be their system? The accidental double teams while leaving guys open in front has to stop.
Huge mistake
Heinemen never gets sat and has basically done nothing for the last 3 months. He’s gotten most of his production in 2 games. Talk about a free pass.
Definitely not a fan of the selective accountability. How can you sit Duke when he’s been on of our best scorers as of late but Drouin continues to play after missing on prime scoring chances night after night?? Why put your team down a forward in such a big game? I don’t like it one bit.
He’s blocked a lot of hard shots since the start of 2026, some of them had him keeled over going to the bench, and he did have a really bad injury last season so he likely is dealing with something right now otherwise it’s inexplicable since he’s had the hot stick while Bo was out.
Duclair did block a shot earlier in the game ,maybe it bothered him
Yeah the national announcers said nothing of Duclair lack of playing time.
