GDT: Pens vs Devils 2 disappointing teams @ 7pm

[vodeni]

I hate not watching them in the playoffs, but maybe this is for the best...The way they defend, the defensman they have the way they come out of the zone, disorganized, the way the defensman are caving in and cowardly backing on each play, this team and these players need some coaching

 

[canadianguy77]

almost Kris lol

 

[Andy99]

In case anyone hasnt noticed lately, by TOI Geno is now our third line center…

Also, someone on another site noted that Geno gave an interview recently where he made it clear that he was not interested in playing anymore? Is this true because I don’t remember hearing anything like that…

 

[Pancakes]

Teams that can’t defend for shit usually have coaching issues.

What about teams that can't attack for shit?

Because the Pens kinda check both boxes

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Dubas sucks, Sullivan sucks, half the team sucks, and arguably most worrisome of all, FSG sucks.

It's remarkable that you could almost superimpose a game from 2019 and see the same breakouts, and the same defensive lapses, and the same horrible gap control, and lack of physicality, and crappy o zone cycling, so it must be the players.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The team was mediocre this year.

Since the deadline they are mediocre and no longer care.

 

[vodeni]

Rakell may be the worst player now, he can't handle simple pass anymore

It's not a fun team to watch either. I've watched worse Pens teams that at least had heart and were enjoyable to watch.

This team has no faith in anything it's doing on the ice.

And yet they're gonna keep the coach and most of the players.

unless you are blind or brainwashed

The idea of trying to win a low down possession game against a team that is quicker than you at every position is…I don’t know. He has to be insane.

There is no rhyme or reason as to why they play certain ways against certain teams. They should play NJ like they do against Colorado. High pressure. Transition. Quick strike.

I think he thinks NJ is NJ from the 90s. I wish I was joking.

People who pretend the teardown/rebuild years are gonna be worse than this are coping because they can't accept that the era's been over for years. This shit is 100x worse than any of the XGen teams. Easily.

The pens attack is having their forwards forced to the outside, pass back to the point and hope for a rebound to score on.

The team was mediocre this year.

Hey but they outshot and out hit the Devils tonight.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

LOLOLOLOL

 

[Pancakes]

I guess if you're looking for positives this game should springboard us into a three game losing streak. No way in hell we beat Dallas or Colorado on the road.

Solidifying that draft position

 

[hiptanaka]

You know this team is soft as ass when our "hit of the game" involves our 5'9 forward lightly brushing against an opposing player.

Makes sense, Eller is more solid and reliable than Geno now. Probably. Doesn´t matter anyway. Not even Sid is trying hard anymore. Also this team is getting 0.863 save percentage in their last 11 games, when it "matters the most".

 

[Trade]

this game gonna be Sully’s Sponsor Me tape for NJ?

Not beating Carolina after that either lol…

Acciari is the rare PKer that’s both small and slow. He covers no ground at all. Basically a 5 on 3 1/2.

 

[canadianguy77]

Eh. We’ll call that a win.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Nice time for the penguins to shit the bed tonight. At least Sid got a point.

 

[DearDiary]

"Yeahhh we're back in this baby"

Imagine flaunting your idiocy in public

 

[Pancakes]

He's not agile either. He gets lit up when other defensemen bother to hit him because he has no ability to skate laterally.

 

[canadianguy77]

Someone at some point should’ve informed Kris that he’s allowed to stop the puck with his skate.
