GDT: Game 5 | Pens @ TBL 7:30PM EST| Being there ...

[Pancakes]

He was bad in SJ too, regardless of what his stats say

Maybe. At least statistically he wasn't a total disaster up until his dallas time. I'd take a 914 save % out of a backup.

But now he's just putrid. You can't win in the modern NHL with bad goaltending.

 

[KIRK]

So, KIRK was right . . . Sully finally when HMH

 

[Nakawick]

Just out of curiosity... how is Jarry looking in WBS.

Yes, I am wondering as well. Just curious.

 

[Night Shift]

="MtlPenFan,I don't care how the team is playing. On a good day, Niemi looks like MAF against the Isles in 2013.

 

[Andy99]

When Phil gives a ****, Geno and Phil work. Phil doesn't give a **** right now, so you're wasting Geno baby sitting him. Of course, what's the alternative? Sid won't have him. McKegg?

Yeah, give Phil a shot with McKegg. It can't be worse. Maybe he'll be more engaged if he's being relied upon to drive play on his own line

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Save us leading goal scorer Conor Sheary, leading scorer Bryan Rust and most productive D Olli Maatta. All for well under 10M.

 

[PensandCaps]

The Pens have to overcome the odds.

Even if they split the 19 back to backs that's only 38 points. That leaves them 44 games to get them into playoff contention and they are not gonna win all 44. They have to find a way to win at least a 3rd of these (6/7) back to backs situations and collect 12/14 points free and clear.

Right now they are in danger of not even splitting the first 4 games of back to backs. If the game finishes with them losing they'll only have 3 points to show for it.

This is scary. The Metro is reallllly good.

 

[KIRK]

Horny getting robbed left and right. Love his game tho.

Horny in for Phil with Geno and Hags, and they attack. Nobody could've called that.

EDIT: McKegg and Sheary now on the PK.

 

[BHD]

Let's score this time

 

[td_ice]

I have a feeling that game is gonna end up 8-6 haha.

 

[KIRK]

Yeah, give Phil a shot with McKegg. It can't be worse. Maybe he'll be more engaged if he's being relied upon to drive play on his own line

Looks like Sully got the memo

 

[Gurglesons]

If anyone deserves criticism this game on the backend it is Schultz.

Letang has been setting up opportunities left and right. Schultz has just been there.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Seriously, PP2 deserves to start and I'm aware Letang is on it in an ironic twist.

 

[KIRK]

Geno needs to bury that

 

[td_ice]

Oh man.....! Geno, Geno, Geno.......

 

[Pancakes]

He wasn't that much better last night.

No. He was alright though.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

1st unit sucks

 

[ColePens]

The dman hands it to Geno and he still cannot score. Our stars are not all there tonight.

 

[SEALBound]

We need to cash in on several of those. To miss that many is unacceptable down 2 in the 3rd.

Malkin and Sid don't give two shits this game...

 

[Pancakes]

You know what is bizarre? Letang has looked a lot better as a PP qb when put on that second unit.

That first unit is just poison for having a good pp mentality. Everyone becomes pass happy the minute they get on it.

 

[Shrimper]

The dman hands it to Geno and he still cannot score. Our stars are not all there tonight.

Agree, Geno and Sid have done nothing tonight.

 

[ColePens]

I cannot stand these plugs on L4. We have Archi/Wilson. Let them go out and play their speed/grind game instead of watching Kuhn/Rowney/Reaves worthlessly move up the ice and do nothing.

 

[Andy99]

Looks like Sully got the memo

Lost my game feed. Let me know how Phil makes out on line 3

 

[KIRK]

We need to cash in on several of those. To miss that many is unacceptable down 2 in the 3rd.

Malkin and Sid don't give two ****s this game...

Clearly that's it. They don't care.

 

[ColePens]

87 is having a rough one.
