Not surprised. They literally have no idea what they're talking about.
While he's a crap coach, that roster is team Benning. It's trash

Would have liked to see more of Lebate. Kind of a fun game considering the Canucks scored zero goals, but the Pen's play such a great style of hockey and Miller kept it a game.

Chaput was just as effective as horvat tonight. I didn't mind his deployment at all. He owned his opportunity and could have potted two if he wasn't playing against a rookie Stanley cup winner.
Miller was very good. Pens first line is fun to watch. Hopefully Letang, Daley, Olli, Hornqist, Hagelin, Cullen and Rust can be ready for the playoffs.

Miller wants out. You can easily tell in this format interview. I can make peace with that. Just let's start giving Marie more action.
Itd be awesome if we could get bishop, but there may be cheaper options available. All depends on how many goalies Vegas takes in the draft.

That's great and all.. but he's a UFA and will be gone at the end of the year..
Good for the next team that signs him!
Interesting...is this really the view of Pens fans who don't follow the Canucks night after night?......I've never seen a team like the Canucks worse at changing lines and getting tired players off the ice.
Maybe this is a function of how much time this team spends in the its own zone....but they seem to get one tired guy off; but not two; or they get one d-man off and but can't get his tired partner off.
I have no idea of how much of it is the result of the guy standing behind the bench with his clipboard....but probably a reflection of just poor in-game bench management.

As much as Miller got pelted with shots, Penquins still had to rely on Murray coming up big. Canucks had their chances but lack much (some would say any) touch around the net. Given our lineup not a bad effort but you have to factor in that the Penquins were tired and not on top of their game. Actually a game the Canucks could have stole.

Chaput - you wonder if he could become a steady bona vide NHL fourthline center. Maybe not the one year gap filler and then dump player he seemed. Looked better with the Sedins than many have. Got lots of chances (think his goal should have counted) and banged around enough to create some turnovers. Really does stay continuously in the play
Boucher - intriguing player. You wonder if he has enough top end speed but he is smooth. Does a lot little thing in traffic to create chances. Maybe could become a scorer in the right situations but you also wonder if he is one of those players that sort of disappears and, in the end, doesn't accomplish much.
Cramarossa - maybe a case of not expecting much and over rating what he did. Still showed enough speed to disrupt play in the offensive zone and then got to the net to create screens and traffic around the goal.
Miller - outstanding. Problem here is that Miller may be doing more harm than good in any overall perspective on the Canuck situation. Maybe he wins a few games and pushes us further away from better talent in the draft and then just leaves us nothing but a worse lottery position when he takes off this summer. Should have been traded (as many pushed for) before the deadline. At least that way we get something. Another example of the short term thinking of this organization.
Not So Likeable
Larsen - such a twig out there. Gets in traffic around his net and the jig is up. Needs to play in a no touch league. Back to Russia as soon as possible. And poor Biega. A much better player but he gets shunted to forward.
Grenier - never makes much use to of the chances he gets at this level. I think there were better call ups. Grenier really hasn't been doing much in Utica so why give him the call. At present he seems just a body you can throw out. Should not get a new contract.
Stecher is fading.
This is what garbage time looks like and playing the younger players has to be the way to go. Not much choice anyhow with all the illness and injury (team is turning into a hospital dorm). Amazing thing is that in spite of everything, team is right in every game. You would think with the lineup we are using, defeat would come more easily.
Doubt you can say the Sedins are elite any more. Sad but it might be tough watching them play out the string next year. Canucks would do them a huge favor by moving them to a contender but given the salary retention situation that now looks impossible. Why doesn't this team ever look ahead???
If Tanev and Granlund are, as suggested, injured and not just suffering from food poisoning then for Lord's sake keep them out. What's the point of grinding them down further.
