GDT: ECSF #5|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals|Don't let me down

[domaug]

Maatta can't finish, but he's not expected to. I'm extremely angry with Letang...

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

This year's team lacks that killer instinct.

Back to back tho. 3rd should be handed.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Maatta not scoring was the defining moment. Series over. Pens = 08 Wings. Think talent will win it all.

So we win the Cup in game 6 of the SCF?

 

[WayneSid9987]

So close.
They'll get maybe 1 or 2 more chances before the EN'er.
Pray to your ____.

 

[ColePens]

Not just letang.

Whole team. Talent cant win it all. Sloppy early and sloppy late.

Coaches have short shelf lives for a reason

Whole team? f*** that. Kris Letang is to blame. Nobody else. It's not even irrational to say. The guy is a f***ing idiot.

 

[Gurglesons]

Letang killed us. Tie up his stick. Hockey 101

Vrana has been huge for them this game.

 

[BlackAndGold87]

If we lose this series this game could very likely be the one that sealed Letang being traded..

Thank god if so.

Series isn't over but I want him gone

 

[bigkam]

Maatta missing a wide open net from 6 feet will be ingrained in my memory forever.

 

[MrBurghundy]

I'm just not feeling it this year. Too many blown chances, and backbreaking goals.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

this period by letang and murray is just sickening. are they actively trying to lose the series?

 

[Shaftception]

Am I crazy thinking people blaming murray for that goal are out to lunch?

Ovechkin can score from that spot, he's done it many times before, I like that the goalie squared up that shot. What should never have happened was Letang watching vrana take a shot from right in front of the net instead of doing literally anything else. There should never have been an opportunity for a centering pass from ovechkin to get a shot off.

 

[Shrimper]

Winning two straight will be hard. Did it against the Lightning though.

I can see us winning Game 6 but not Game 7.

 

[KIRK]

Lelang just gets more and more dumb.

I never thought someone could have a negative IQ.

I stand corrected.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Holtby and Letang won this game for this Caps.

 

[USMC607]

Can't be mad, back to back is a great run

Agreed....

Fix issues, Rest up, try to go for 3 in 4

Although it's not over yet.

 

[madinsomniac]

Kristopher Letang... Lol

He cannot even spell Christopher right

 

[Bingo71]

Can’t wait for the Ovie or Kuz ENG...

 

[DeadPuckEra]

Maatta missing a wide open net from 6 feet will be ingrained in my memory forever.

Shades of Jordan Staal.

 

[pistolpete11]

And there's the game. Game on Maatta's stick and he blows it.

Not entirely his fault...but this game hinged on teams capitalizing on their chances. We didn't. They did.

If it is solely anyone's fault, it is Letang. Not Maatta.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Vrana has been huge for them this game.

So has Kris Letang.

 

[Shady Machine]

If we lose this series this game could very likely be the one that sealed Letang being traded..

Agreed even if I don’t think it’s the best decision

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Come on. Have we had any 1 overtime game these playoffs? Let's get some.

 

[SEALBound]

Welp, let's see how bad they want it.

 

[Pancakes]

If we lose this series this game could very likely be the one that sealed Letang being traded..

He's not getting traded. JR isn't gonna panic over losing a series in the 2nd round after back to back Cups.

Maybe if we see another playoffs/season of the same type of mistakes.

He went way too far to one side, wouldve been in perfect position to stop it, but it is still on Letang.
