Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Sens | 6-4 Ugly win | Zucker come back!! We need you :(

[Tender Rip]

And anyhow, never not forget:

Ah, I almost succeded in erasing that from memory!
And then you bring it back!

Wtf. does “never not forget” mean anyway?
Yes, we should all do our best to forget or un-see that, but then why remind us!?

You sadist!

Drake Batherson sounds like Dirk Diggler’s long lost cousin….

Senators played dirty as f*** all night. Love what Dumo and Letang did to Norris.

I thought Norris looked awesome all night. He was easily in front of our net with chances throughout the entire game. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would have been livid with the non-call. So i'm not going to be super biased here. I would have been absurdly pissed off if that happened to us.

That being said, the refs let that game go early. The hit from behind off the opening shift to Dumo was left alone and it escalated through the game.

 

[ColePens]

Id rather have Boyle in the lineup over ZAR

I think Boyle is a fantastic #13 forward right now. I do want to see him regularly against Carolina/NYR before i say all-in on that notion. I'm leaning towards it, but just not 100% sure.

Ayup. Super weird to me that their stance was "no small sneaky fouls, murder each other to your heart's content".

Fair. Marino also probably doesn’t get his head almost cut off without that play.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Watching the game this morning (because f*** a Melnyk if I'm going to watch an Ottawa game live ), I'm not entirely sure the sloppy defensive play is because the team is lazy, per se. The Sens' heavy physical game really does throw us off our game, which we should think about finding a way or a lineup that alleviates that a bit going into the stretch.

And anyhow, never not forget:

If anyone has a clip I'd appreciate it. Was background watching this game

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Marino did well to dodge this. At :46 you can see it would have been head into glass.
Dick move by Thachuk. Warranted response afterwards.

I love how charging is never called in this league anymore. Ridiculous move by a clown

 

[HandshakeLine]

My beef with Marino dropping the gloves on Tkachuk is that he simply doesn't know how to fight. I don't mind guys scrapping, especially in the heat of the moment, but man, you gotta at least know some basics!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Tkachuk looks like an unfinished clone.

didn't both brothers spear each other in the bollocks recently?

Idiots

 

[Honour Over Glory]

more so Erod getting taken out of his best position.

Godrigues is better as a C.

I mean heat of the moment innit?

A bloke comes charging at you to hit your head and the refs didn't do a damned thing.

 

[Fiji Water]

Chaotic game. Jarry was good and Matheson was amazing. The guy is so talented, just wish he had the smarts to do this more consistently.

The GCR line was ass obviously. Crosby has zero even strength points in like 5 or 6 games now. Might be time to change things up Sully? Ha, who am I kidding. That will never happen.

Thought Malkin had good jump early then fizzled out as the game went on. Understandable given that he just came back, so hopefully he will continue to improve as he gets back into game condition

 

[Fiji Water]

Also I don't understand having Rust in over ERod on pp1...ERod has a better one timer which makes the pp significantly more dangerous with a one timer threat on both sides.

Man, that line looked unreal, they played most of the night matched up against Sid's line (why, oh why sully?) they had 12 chanses for against only 1 (when matched with Blueger's line they had only 3 chances versus giving up 5), ....thats one thing with Sully I am not sure why he does what he does...Sid's line right now is slow, not in shape (Rust, Guentzel), seems out of synce, etc...so don't match them up against strong fast and skilled line, they will get killed...but Sully still lives in the fantasy world where GCR is what he thinks they are, not what the evidence show....I am not even advocating breaking them up, just matching them up better especially in Pittsburgh where you can control this stuff....

Yeah, like I applaud the sentiment and standing up for yourself and I think that's a fine in the heat of the moment. But man, maybe don't go toe to toe with that kind of guy if you throw punches like you're scared of your own fists. I think picking your spots is a better thing for Marino, but at the end of the day, at least he stood up for himself, I guess.

Ideally, someone like Boyle would take that up for him at the earliest opportunity. Well, ideally, ideally, we'd actually have a legit powerforward on this club, but I'm talking about obtainable "ideally"'s here.

It's been my experience that you learn a lot about fighting via getting your butt kicked. Maybe this sparks Marino into adding 10lbs of muscle and reinventing his profile.

my experience taught me to be sure to throw the first punch then grab on and pray that the ref's break it up before he can get loose.

My fallback when all else failed was to go number 2........ends a fight real quick.


Marino was very unsure about entering that fight......if that's you mindset going in, it's better to get humble and skate away.

New GDT up. Time to move onto the next game.
