Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Jets | Shootout win | I hate day games

[KrisLetAngry]

Jets fans listening to Jets cast and saying refs gave us this game.

Well it is nice to know that as all hockey fans we all complain about the refs giving teams games.

I’m still holding out hope that Blueger was just being held out to be checked for a concussion and that he’ll be fine after getting whatever stitches he needs lol

 

[Coastal Kev]

++++ Jarry

- - - - Jets POS dirty players and their homer whiner broadcast crew

- - - - - the refs…wtf

Pens are a very good team, but they aren’t built to play multiple styles.

I don’t see any changes coming until offseason, we’ll see if teams give them the business come playoffs and how well they respond to it.

Stinks...they could compete if they had grit ...my opinion

 

[Pancakes]

Didn't see the game but god damn we just can't miss lately can we? How many losses in our past 20? like 2? 3?

 

[vodeni]

for all my bickering about Letang, I really like the guy...(listening his presser)

they have some grit but not enough to have multiple good players who can fight through the interference the refs won’t call in the POs…

 

[Al Smith]

Was so glad he missed the last shootout attempt. Little b****

So for all those who watch other teams more than I, what's the verdict on the DuBois trade. After watching CBJ and WPG, PLD seemed head and shoulders above Laine and Ros on overall play, but that's obviously a limited sample. As whiny as he is, and he stupidly pushed 87 down on his goalie's head, I thought he played a pretty good all around game.

Guessing week-to-week in concussion protocol. Or he may just have been cut up a lot and not able to return.

 

[BreakfastatMarios]

Im shocked nobody said something about the 2 goal lead the most dangerous lead to have.

 

[Zirakzigil]

I'm awake...

Was the comeback more of them carrying the play and finally breaking through or them capitalizing on the chances they got?

Definitely capitalizing on a couple bounces. Pens carried the last 10min and overtime. Were outplayed before that.

he did not look like concussed guy, there is some kind of tear there

 

[Turin]

Great win, Jarry needs a good backup before he hits a wall

Don’t agree at all. This team has the players to do it. They just can’t have Carter, Kapanen, Malkin, Letang and Dumo all taking off games.

This team can play multiple styles baby. Bank on it! They play multiple styles in style. They can play fast, they can play gritty like today , they can play run and gun and they can play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt. They do it all. This team is as good as any other team. Perfection is not realistic. What they’re doing now is nothing short of exceptional.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Crosby is the only player in the league who I believe can record a hat trick one game and then only have 1 SOG to the next.

Sometimes it isn’t a bad thing to just shoot the puck Sidney.

They capitalized on a giveaway and Hellebuyck over playing a puck and giving it right to Carter.

 

[vodeni]

Geno on for 14 chances 3 against...thats Geno we need...

 

[metalan2]

16 of 18. Blow it up.

Seriously though, how do you win 16 of 18 games and are still not in first place lol.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

To be fair.... they didn't take the WHOLE game off.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Geno was a beast in the 3rd. That shift in the 3rd where he kept hounding the puck and had 2-3 steals.

 

[United]

Finally a 10pm game for me instead of a usual 4am one.
Jarry with another great game. And Matheson is an absolute joy to watch. What a player. He has become my 3rd favorite player on this team after Crosby and Rust.

 

[Gurglesons]

I think that is what changed. The effort and the focus. Kapanen on that back check, Carter and Geno playing simpler and just hitting the forecheck. Heinen too.

I think people also forget the 15-16 and 16-17 teams were prone to have this happen to them as well.

Murray and Fleury just saved our ass. Same as this season with Jarry. He’s stepping up.

Matheson has been a jolt since he got here, his blazing speed was evident, and it was time he needed to settle in. It's nice to have two guys who can carry from end to end.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Jarry is playing like he has a chip on his shoulders from last years playoffs and I love it

I knock on Petts but he had a solid game I think

People hate on Kap/Simon etc and they don't always light up the scoresheet but I think they played some good games.

I think I am seeing a little swag/confidence in Kappy's game and thats a good thing. Lets get him rolling (he been racking up some points quietly)

What an exciting game
