GDT: Game 32 | Pittsburgh Penguins vs Colorado Avalanche | 7PM | Art

[KIRK]

Our puck support sucks.

 

[Gumbercules]

Cole chips it in, and the two Pens forwards look at each other for 1-2 seconds hoping the other one would go in and forecheck. Avs get an easy clear.

 

[SirBrad]

Errey and Mears finally on the "Nothing Is Easy" bandwagon. No kidding. They've had like 3 easy wins all season.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Jarry with a game saver?

More like a goal differential saver.....not so sure about the game

 

[KIRK]

He saved our bacon multiple times today.

Kid is for real.

Looks like Colorado may only score 1, just as your foresaw.

 

[Andy99]

Our puck support sucks.

It's been the biggest problem, particularly in our defensive play

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I would say inability to make a pass and getting beaten to the puck most of the time is up there.

Call me Palpatine or something.

 

[WayneSid9987]

That good home record even with a rocky start to the season is vanishing before our eyes atm. Bout to go 2-3-whatever in this latest home stand.

Because they just don't want it. Everyone wants someone else to just do it. They don't want to work as a team at all.

Sid triple teamed. Simon and Jake observe.

I know you've mentioned it before but it's worth repeating: this team still plays like Sid/Geno are 24 years old and can slice their way through defenses at will. There's a ton of watching when they get the puck. It's frustrating.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Are our shots mostly from the ouside like it was against Toronto? I'd be interested to see if that's the case.

Most of the team wasn’t around for that, though. I think it’s more collective laziness than anything like that.

Especially on the PP. I love watching them get doubled, get no help, make a desperate pass before losing it, and then see people critique the forced desperation play rather than the lack of support.

Yeah, maybe they're just playing out this year after the b2b cups. If that's the case, could they at least be even worse and get us a lottery pick, or hopefully Dahlin

 

[vodeni]

rust is so out of sort with geno and phil, always has and always will, yet try them over and over and over again

 

[WayneSid9987]

Thing you have to remember too is Sully is playing Sid and Geno ragged in these games cuz it's all he's got to battle back with...

 

[TNT87]

Please score.

 

[ncm7772]

LACK OF EFFORT.

This is not fun to watch.

I think it's a combo of mix and malaise right now that's exacerbating things for Sid and Geno.

And, when I say that, I'm not looking at when Sid and Geno are off. I'm talking about when they're on. There have been games this year for both of them, you can see they've kicked it up, and nothing really comes of it. That's what worries me, how it looks when they are on.

He plays much better on the RW

He's just a better RW than LW imo.

[ColePens]

I'm just so numb watching our games. I have as much energy as the Pens do. Exhausted and bored.

 

[KIRK]

Been saying this forever. His 200 foot game is so much better on the right side.

 

[canadianguy77]

We lose this one and were probably firmly out of a playoff spot for a while.
