Seems like Dan Muse is trying to roll all 4 lines pretty evenly tonight? I think that helps keep legs fresh.
Anybody else’s XFinity SNP feed terrible? Dropping frames, brightness changes, audio dropouts, etc? Seems to have improved a bit late in the period though.
I feel like FSG has allowed GMKD to invest in meaningful front office infrastructure (broadening the analytics department, increasing scouting staff) that may not have happened under previous ownership as well, but I guess that’s a bit of conjecture.
Got a kick out of Kevin Hatcher doing that for a bit while he was with the Penguins.
Wouldn’t have minded them at 11 and 12 to be honest, but it seems like Kindel is fine too. I don’t think there’s a “wrong” move to be had this year.
Well, you got two picks in before the preambles started anyway.

I was going to compliment this draft format as the picks are not preceded by a 5 minute preamble thanking the host city, congratulating the reigning champs and shouting out the home fans, but I think the stiff, forced exchanges with the front offices is just as bad, of not worse.

A rainbow frames the Mister Rogers statue and downtown #Pittsburgh this evening from the North Shore, and while it had begun to fade by the time I got there (I capture it from the West End first), it was still plenty visible. Talk about an amazing view.

A few weeks ago I spent a morning running around #pittsburgh capturing the moon and had a bunch of luck on the 16th Street Bridge. The set perfectly on the top of the Highmark Building and in the spires of PPG Place, making for some really incredible scenes.

We've had some decent sunrises over the last few days in #Pittsburgh, but this morning's might be one of the best of the year. The way that the clouds caught the early morning light was amazing, and there was color in seemingly every corner of the sky. An amazing start to the day.

What a sunrise in #pittsburgh this morning. A perfect mix of colorful clouds and reflections in the Ohio River really made for an amazing view. I haven’t shot sunrise from this spot in a long time, at least not a colorful one, and today was certainly the morning to be there.

I’ve shot #pittsburgh from this spot during full moons and fireworks, but never at sunrise. I’m thinking that this view would make a great four seasons set, and luckily the springtime one is out of the way. Love how the steps lead right through the scene.
Yep, that’s the pattern. Artsy and functional!
No pressure on Jarry now. Talent has never been his issue. He just doesn’t handle pressure well, and he sulks when he’s not successful.

Mike Lange was the first person that made the Penguins cool in Pittsburgh — and you didn’t need to be there from the start to believe it.

Just an amazing sunrise in #Pittsburgh this morning, with vibrant color spreading the entire way across the horizon. I love capturing fiery skies like this reflecting in the frozen rivers, and today might be my favorite I've ever shot.

I've been trying to capture a snowglobe view of this perspective of the Duquesne Incline in #Pittsburgh for a few years (I already have a regular winter version) and a few days ago I was finally able to. The red car really stands out against the falling snow.

Something a little different today. Over the weekend we took a little trip to northwestern Ohio and one of the stops I made was Marblehead Lighthouse. There was some heavy snow the night before and it turned the entire park into a painting.

Penguins should aggressively shop Rickard Rakell He's the same player he was last year but perception this year is sky high

First 45gp 2023-24 8 goals 17 assists 108 shots SH% 7.4
First 45gp 2024-25 22 goals 16 assists 111 shots SH% 19.8

Shooting percentage is a hell of a drug. Cash in

Got some film back over the weekend from #Pittsburgh during the snow last week, and my goodness does Portra 400 and winter go together. These views of the Duquesne Incline are some of my favorite I've ever shot on film.
This is exactly why they need to take advantage of Rakell punching above his weight class. You can add picks or young assets. You could even package him with one of the albatross contracts, albeit for a lesser return. That probably has to wait for the offseason though.

I think we got more snow in the South Hills than in downtown #Pittsburgh this morning, but it was still a lot of fun running around capturing new snowglobe images. I'll a ton to share, but we'll start out with the North Shore, where I combined two exposures, one for the snow and one for the trees.
