GDT: Game 9 | Pens @ TBL | 7:00 PM EST

[PensandCaps]

Once Sheahan comes here. He will kill 100% of the oppenents PP by himself.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I wouldn't expect a whole lot of fair calls coming from the refs after Sid barked at 'em. If NHL officials are one thing, they're proud bastards and if you bark, whether or not it's justified, they will hold that against you in a spiteful way.

yep, bad move by Sid.

 

[Jacob]

Garrett Rank.. Yeah, his calls sure do stink!

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Hmmm, well... there is a 9PM showing of Blade Runner 2049. And I have only seen it once.

I was counting to five before I saw Geno and Phil coming back, Tampa already had five guys in our zone ...whatever

 

[KIRK]

See how lazy Phil was deep in his zone there. No reason he shouldn't have that puck clean. He stands there and gets beat to it. Hopefully, it's an October thing, but this is what I mean by saying a lot of the problems defensively are about the play of the forwards.

 

[wheelz87]

You have to have the horses to play it. One thing to be aggressive against a meh team. Quite another to try it against Tampa with inferior personnel.

Like maybe Archi or (Wilson) instead of Kuhn?

Geno was all the way deep in the offensive zone. A little hard to lead the forecheck and then be first back.

EDIT: That shift, Geno cut his guy off low. If Phil comes in instead of just gliding, they force a turnover. Instead, it's a clean exit.

 

[PensandCaps]

Sheahan was actually brought in to be the backup.

Agree, I like our defensemen, and I think theyre actually playing very well themselves. The team (forward) defense is whats lacking, and the back to backs arent helping.

I also dunno why Sully just didn't stick with his lines from last night. They were solid. Ah well.

Missed slash on Haggy's hands.

thats why Rust is not what they are trying to make him great F1, they have not been able to find a great one for taht line, Hags is the only one

I wouldn't go.

I wouldn't say that. Letang and Dumo are up and down (down tonight, mainly Letang). Ruh is what he is. Maatta-Schultz is pretty good but backing off instead of challenging.

 

[FlightlessBird]

How many more times are we going to play TB on the 2nd of a back to back this season?

Wow. Just looked it up. Next time the Pens play them, it’s again the 2nd game of a back to back. At Boston on Friday, vs. Tampa at home Saturday.

Actually, I think the issue is Geno and Phil. It's like Sid and Hossa. Put together two elite players, and they'll produce. But, they play disparate styles. Ergo, no natural chemistry.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Stamkos doing the only thing Stamkos does. Maybe cover the guy who doesn't do anything but sit in the circle and wait for a shot.

Grand, great, thanks a lot.

EDIT: How did Vasi save that?

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Wow.

 

[wheelz87]

For the love of God Hags.
Cue the no hands pic

 

[Common Sense]

Save of the year material.

Yeah...I'm having my doubts that the schedule is all random like they say it is.

 

[KIRK]

Good lord

 

[BHD]

Game over.

 

[TNT87]

What the f*** again?
