Stamkos has also gone invisible again. I realize the injury and all but he's missing for games at a time this year

 

[IdealisticSniper]

What does that have to do with the game played today? They've looked like **** pretty much all season, this is the first time we've played Pittsburgh, haven't even touched Boston yet.

Ok that's just a silly thing to say. They have looked great most of the season. Pretty much up until maybe 2 weeks ago.

 

[Tender Rip]

Tyler Johnson is awesome. What a steal for you guys.

Don't quite know how you didn't end the game in the first, well I do... Fleury was awesome.... but we got outplayed so badly in the first that I never dreamt it'd end up a win.

Looking forward to these two teams meeting up again with more of a full deck on both sides. Should be many great battles ahead.

You don't go 19-10-3 playing like crap all season..........

No you don't and it was exaggerated but we look nothing like a team that can do any serious damage in the playoffs.

The first period was an example of what we CAN do. Without MAF killing it we would have put up 3 or 4 in that period alone, while only allowing I believe 5 shots.

Whether or not we can do that consistently is the question.

Yes but the Pens were also missing like 50% of their offense with Crosby and Kunitz out.. I mean once Malkin got off the ice they were playing against Sutter, Downie, Adams, Spaling and Klinkhammer

Plenty of season left to go. We look horrible right now but I don't think it's time to push the panic button yet. Even if this season doesn't pan out we have a young team and should be a force for a while. My only concern is Stamkos leaving which I think is more possible than many around here

 

[LightningStrikes]

MAF was stellar and well, the Pens got our number. The good news is we got Philly's. But if we lose to them I say bring back the Panik button, XC!

 

[Volodya Krutov]

They played well in the first half of the game but the Pens capitalized on their chances... meh, **** happens.

The 3rd period was a bit of a disappointment but overall the effort was there. As opposed to the past week, I'm not worried when they play a good possession game. Keep going like this, good things will happen more often than not.

Too bad Killorn was incapable to finish though.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Guys, there's just no excuse to lose against the Penguins with all the injuries they have. I don't care Fleury played lights out.
He can save you one point blank scoring chance, two.

But when it is 4 or 5 it's more of our players just making bad decisions shooting.

Filppula had a very weak game IMO.
Stamkos is blowing dog again :/

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Oh, missed a positive from tonight.

No highlight reel goals from Malkin.

sad thing is that this is true
