The Penguins have been a tough watch for the last little bit because they can not rely on their goaltenders. They have been trotting Jarry and Nedeljkovic out every other game and it is the same result every game. They can not get any big saves or rely on either goaltender. Jarry's AHL stint has seemed to not help him and Nedeljkovic has not seemed to replicate his end of season success last year.
Something has to change in goal for the Penguins and it starts with sending one of the two goalies down or trading one. They need to get Joel Blomqvist up to the team and let him start games again since he gives the team the best chance to win.
Missed the game tonight. Kinda glad I did. Tristan Jarry is unplayable at this point. Horrible home stand. If you can’t trade him buy out him this summer. Constantly giving up 1st goal on 1st or 2nd shot of the game. Playing catch up from the start. Enough is a freaking enough

The Penguins need to act quickly to get Blomqvist up
It is insanely painful to watch the Penguins game in and game out when either goalie on the roster, starts a game. It is mind boggling that coach Sullivan continues to put trust in either goalie on the roster, and Penguins fans should expect a loss with either goalie in any game.
It was evident yet again that their answer in goal is in Wilkes Barre. Jarry started the most recent game against the Seattle Kraken, and gave up the first goal of the game on the second shot he faced.
It is definitely a goal that he wants back, but it was so agonizing to watch the puck go past him after he got a piece of it.
We love to see a good goalie assist 🍎

The Penguins need to find a way, any possible way that they can, to get Blomqvist up here and have him split the goal with Nedeljkovic, even though Ned has not been a good option either.
The Penguins are seriously running out of time to get the big 3 another playoff run, and they are not serious about it if they keep trotting Jarry or Ned out every other game.
Give the big 3 what they want and get Blomqvist up here as soon as you can. That change needs to be made as soon as possible, as soon as tomorrow. The team is doomed with either goalie on the current roster.
