Hey coach. f*** you!

 

[flaneur]

well they won...

 

[cassius]

One of the saddest displays of hockey that I've seen lately - thank goodness we have Malkin.

Malkin interview!

 

[IcedCapp]

someone ask one of the media clowns to ask Johnston if he believes the team has a better transition game with Scuderi in

 

[66-30-33]

5 games in a row we get stoned by a "hot goalie", 5 games with no points by Crosby, and Kunitz still has no points either.

 

[Malkin72]

just waiting for Dupper to come back and put him on crosby's right wing

 

[plaidchuck]

Yeah that's pathetic. Kessel is being wasted.

 

[TheSniper26]

Probably should thank Bernier while we're at it. He wasn't bad all game but he gifted us those first two which was all we needed to get the "win" I guess.

First Pens game of the year for you, I see.

Got to keep them together, they can't go scoreless forever.

 

[Pancakes]

That was a dreadful game to watch. Much like 99% of them in the MJ era.

Somehow Johnston has turned the Pens into a team that can't score. And we don't even win that often despite this boring slog hockey.

 

[Malkin72]

easy ... put kunitz and Kessel with Malkin..

Perron and horny with Crosby

 

[66-30-33]

1 goal 1 assist for the top line, only Kessel has the points.

Nope, change the line from Kunitz-Crosby-Kessel to Kessel-Crosby-Kunitz. BYLSMA LOGIC!

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

As bad as Kunitz has been, I'd still rather flip Kessel and Hornqvist than move him off the top line if I had to choose.

Kunitz was just as bad last season, but Sid and Horny managed to succeed in spite of him.

Agreed 100% - Hornqvist is far less effective on Geno's line

 

[WayneSid9987]

Hope Sid has a minor injury cuz this kind of Sid the second half of his career ain't gonna get this team anywhere.

What was the final tally for ice time? D and F's plz.

 

[Saints11]

PP is terrible, probably because Sid can't win a face-off.

Malkin's feathered area passes would be much easier for Kessel's stick to handle too. As it stands, Kessel's spending precious split seconds trying to corral a puck before doing something with it.

 

[billybudd]

Only caught the first and parts of the second, but 87 was better than he has been, relatively speaking.

Twitter says something happened to Perron?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

non Pens fan here... Loved what I saw from Sprong tonight even though he had no points. I thought he was better than a lot other forwards in the lineup... I hope he sticks past 9 games

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Yes you have Rob... Yes you have...

Bringing this to the PGT because it is too good.

 

[Pancakes]

He was ok. Made a few passes that could have lead to goals, and at least wasn't bobbling pucks.

Still looks rather pedestrian though.

 

[plaidchuck]

So basically if MAF can't keep.a sub 2.0 gaa they don't win this year. Way to set up a guy for success.
