The point still stands: goal differential isn’t telling you much in this case as opposed to the ROW….And that's probably why they have less wins than the Pens and are living off OTL.

We'll see if it's still standing at the end of the year because my point is over the course of a full season it will even out.The point still stands: goal differential isn’t telling you much in this case as opposed to the ROW….
See, the reason i hate all the "TEH CULTURE SUX" posts is because Sid is the culture and he's not out there loafing. Some of the team sucks. The goalies are not ... great. Our 3rd pair not great. Bottom 6 isn't amazing. But Sid and the culture are fine.
I think people are confusing "coaching decisions" with culture
I hope the Pens fail miserably to see what the excuses are by Dubasshole and dipshit Sully.We have like the 6th most difficult remaining schedule in the league. Luckily the Devils' and Caps' schedule is even worse.
Minimal margin for error.
I don't think that matters for this team. We've lost to Ottawa twice and also beaten very good teams like Boston.We have like the 6th most difficult remaining schedule in the league. Luckily the Devils' and Caps' schedule is even worse.

Your tales are so good. Jarry has never let in a bad goal and Sid is a turnover machine that is protected by big media.Sid "loafs" more than the media let's on, but they deep gargle his bollocks so he appears like he's never having a bad game. Where as Malkin can't have 1 bad shift in a great game without being called out for it.
The amount of dipshit passes to nowhere or turnovers by Sid is apparently not allowed to be mentioned.

I'm sure all Metro opponents have a difficult rest of season because they will be playing each other a lot.We have like the 6th most difficult remaining schedule in the league. Luckily the Devils' and Caps' schedule is even worse.

So glad that our expert coach and former barely NHL player that we have signed to forever is getting his mitts on Smith’s and EK’s game…they’re both well below their career averages during healthy seasons but he knows best how to tweak their games….now we have to talk about trading them again while he probably gets another three year extension
Ok. I’ll put it in the Salary Cap thread…There comes a point where finding something to whinge about every page in a post-victory thread over the league's best team when the team is 7-2-1 in their last 10 is just obnoxious. If you want an audience while you dig up every possible point of pessimism, go talk to a mirror.
Also digging on a coach for their playing career is just moronic. Neither Johnson or Bowman even reached the NHL. Playing talent does not correlate to coaching talent.
Here's POJ on the "great play" which led to the Eller goal.
If Graves made a pass that risky, people would be shitting all over him no matter how lucky the outcome was.
Agreed. It doesn't really matter until you have 5-6 games left and the WC slots of open to 4-5 teams.I'm sure all Metro opponents have a difficult rest of season because they will be playing each other a lot.
I'm not a believer in strength of schedule as a predictor. All I know is the Penguins have 45 games to net like 4 or 6 points against the group they're in.
Yeah but we play good teams better than bad teams this year.We have like the 6th most difficult remaining schedule in the league. Luckily the Devils' and Caps' schedule is even worse.

Tankathon and Power Rankings Guru. Tankathon bases their ranking on the combined points % of the remaining opponents.Out of curiosity, where did you find the numbers?
I'm mostly wondering just how much of it is "have fun playing each other Metro".

The big thing will just be winning divisional games. I agree that the points won't be outrageous to make it, but we have to win most of our remaining '4 point' games.I think one thing to remember too when prognosticating about what it will take to make the playoffs is the Metro is unusually tight this year.
It may take less points than it has in the past to get into the playoffs given how tight the standings are.
So saying oh the Pens need 95 or 100 or whatever points...they might not end up needing that since the bottom of the standings aren't as bad this year in the east.
We certainly can't afford to do what we did last year and lose all these divisional games.The big thing will just be winning divisional games. I agree that the points won't be outrageous to make it, but we have to win most of our remaining '4 point' games.
0-12 against them. Already have 3 wins vs them this year.We certainly can't afford to do what we did last year and lose all these divisional games.
Can drop an occasional one but losing most of those would be a likely death sentence to our playoff hopes.
Beating the Isles 2x was huge. If I'm not mistaken last year we pulled an 0fer against them or close to it. Ditto NJ, ditto Carolina. We mighta got some otl points, but our record was awful overall.
We need to solve the Devils, but that may take a significant upgrade in speed and stamina. Last 6 games against them are losses, outscored 27-9, including 8-2 in the third period. We did get one point out of those six losses, so there's that.0-12 against them. Already have 3 wins vs them this year.
