Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Yotes | Blowout win | Boyle: “Hey Sid, hold my beer and watch this!”

[Zirakzigil]

Lacklustre start, lit the dynamite in the 3rd and blew up that coyote. Boyle dropped the anvil to finish it off with a between the legs goal. Great offensive flair, still need to clean up some poor defensive play.

Such a Pens game. Pretty gross, give up 3 great chances that all go in then remember you're allowed to score and put up 6.

Just a silly team

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Free Phil!

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

+ for Boyle.

This team keeps rolling hard to complain about much. That third goal against was annoying, but the boys picked em back up and then dropped the elbow off the top of the cage

That Boyle goal was great but if you have season tickets you would know it actually sucked

 

[Gurglesons]

Team is pretty damn good

 

[Pens1566]

Best part of the Boyle goal was him looking around afterward at other players on the ice. Like, "do you believe that shit?"

Happy we got the two points against a team we had to beat…

not happy with our defensive effort and “details”…more of the same we’ve seen for the last two weeks…they don’t show the slightest inclination to tighten things up…the Yotes gave up playing in the third…

Brockstar is my POTG (put him with Geno!) but that Boyle goal was a lot of fun

Good to take care of business despite even being down in the third. Honestly not too worried about being lights out for all 200ft every night quite yet. Don’t want to peak too early.

It's interesting that the Penguins keep starting with Pettersson-Marino as their 2nd pair but keep switching to Matheson-Marino throughout the game.

Anyway, a win is a win. They dominated a bad team, which is to be expected.

Edit: actually I'm wrong, they didn't switch to Matheson-Marino, but they just kept rotating Matheson with Dumoulin, Letang and Marino to give him more ice time.

Pretty awful first period. Extremely entertaining from then on.

Can't really complain about much despite giving up 3 on like 16 shots.

I don't usually try to bag on the competition but whoooooo boy are the Yotes bad.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Rust and Sid have a huge game to be taken over by the Boyle goal....

What a sick goal for that old guy...!

 

[eXile3]

16 SOG. You take out a couple plays and it wasn't a bad defensive effort. Of course the Yotes just sat in the neutral zone for the first half which contributed to the low shot count.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

We won 6-3, scored multiple highlight reel goals most teams could only ever dream about....and I'm PISSED.

Perfect post-game gifage @Zirakzigil

I'm weirdly pumped now. Team felt so flat and like they were just waiting for things to come right in the first period. Concede a goal... come back. Concede a goal... come back. I was almost beginning to doubt by the third one but this team seems so weirdly powerful right now... so they came back, took the game over, and spent the last ten minutes like they were on a never-ending powerplay.

So many interesting adventures in mid-season Pens land.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Also I know it's been beat on already but Andrew Ladd... really?

Wasn't he a trade target for this team back when like Malone and Sykora were still on the roster?

They were good shots though. It happens.

I think we should all talk about that Boyle goal only in here.

 

[wheelz87]

3 more Sid.. I want it this home stand so badly. Against the Caps would be lol.

When I hear the commentators said Brockstar I thought "yes, that's so terrible I love it".

They used Matheson-Marino a lot post power play if the second unit didn't get out, which I like. Some aggressive blending.

Hey we are now 17-2 in our last 19 or something.

Notes from an expert:

Boyle is a great 5C to slot in as 4C with injury. Just shouldn't be asked to play wing.

McGinn gives me old Max Talbot vibes (can't be the only one?). He feels like a fit for Geno's LW come playoff time. Flashes of skill with some grit and moxy.

ZAR/Simon are as bland and meh as you can get..Simon being the worst and I cant get my head around him having such a cushy spot in the lineup. Get Big Z in the line up.

Sid/Geno/Letang: I don't care the cost Hextall. These three need to ride out their careers together. Anyone that wants to dump them to try and rebuild a better team can respectfully F off. All 3 have played elite hockey for so long, they deserve it all and I thank them for giving me years of joy as a fan. I want them as lifelong Pens with their numbers hung up together. Truly magnificent. End Rant.

Real Cup contenders would be 20-0 in their last 19
