GDT: #18 | Pens vs Sens | Sat Nov 17 @7PM est | SN, CITY, ATTSN-PT

[Turin]

Makes no sense to not play Sprong with Malkin in this situation.

 

[Ryder71]

I hope Maatta is traded within the next week.

 

[KIRK]

I agree. Just Sprong ain’t doing himself any favors.

Sprong did more 5 on 5 to try to generate offense than just about any winger on the team. Not his fault he's with Grant.

I'm not even a Sprong guy, but at least I see someone there with the potential to generate . . . if the coach would set him up for it.

 

[Gurglesons]

We did not scratch Sheahan tonight. He's playing LW with Malkin.

Pearson has looked fine in the 3rd. Nobody else showed up in the 1st and 2nd.

 

[PensandCaps]

I agree. Just Sprong ain’t doing himself any favors.

Huh? He's been doing waaaay more good tonight than bad.

 

[KIRK]

Makes no sense to not play Sprong with Malkin in this situation.

Actually it makes perfect sense if you accept that Mike Sullivan is a moron.

 

[Multigrain]

Pittsburgh defense os awful tonight. Duchene 2 goal night. What gives?

 

[Clare2904]

Everyone leaving when 6-3 up

 

[Ryder71]

Makes no sense to not play Sprong with Malkin in this situation.

It makes perfect sense when you consider how this coach approaches such matters.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Huh?

Only thing I saw was Pearson ******* up a cycle.

Come on, give the guy a liitle more time Ok? I'm not saying he will definitely work for us, but he's big and has a big shot. what else do you want? you know hag would miss the easiest shot.

 

[EightyOne]

Pittsburgh defense os awful tonight. Duchene 2 goal night. What gives?

The defense is bad.

Duchene is not.

Therefore, multi-goal night. What is confusing?

 

[Empoleon8771]

We did not scratch Sheahan tonight. He's playing LW with Malkin.

Uh......

Maybe if you mean Sheahan last year, I can get that. Pearson today has absolutely killed anything Sheahan has done this year.

 

[KIRK]

Pearson has looked fine in the 3rd. Nobody else showed up in the 1st and 2nd.

You mean like that give and go along the wall where Pearson went up, Malkin moved low for the pass back, and Pearson lost it? Fine like that?

Ity's amazing how you define 'fine' (Pearson in the 3rd) and 'not doing himself any favors (Sprong).

 

[Gurglesons]

Huh? He's been doing waaaay more good tonight than bad.

He’s playing like he always does. He is constantly getting beaten to pucks and missing passes and opportunities to forecheck.

He’s had a few good shots, and nothing egregious. But, that is obviously where the issue lies.

 

[Bingo71]

Ottawa gonna get 7!!!

Yeeehaaaaw!

 

[JBose7]

cmon, effort? seriously? its not they don't want to forecheck, its taht they can't skater faster tahn they skate, they can't forecheck cause they can't get to the puck...

Then they have a surge when what?? Oh they start skating. That's mental. Its not they can't its the fact that they don't

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Early empty net. Hopefully Duchene gets the hatty.

 

[Turin]

Pearson has looked fine in the 3rd. Nobody else showed up in the 1st and 2nd.

Both Sprong and Pearson have been fine. The former generated two high quality chances, even.

 

[KIRK]

@ColePens, I assume you're watching NXT. I'll take PGT.

 

[MrBurghundy]

He’s playing like he always does. He is constantly getting beaten to pucks and missing passes and opportunities to forecheck.

I'm just not seeing the same thing you're seeing at all.

 

[Andy99]

LA is beating NSH...we’ve lost to OTT...are we officially the worst team in the league now? Hooray!

 

[PensandCaps]

He’s playing like he always does. He is constantly getting beaten to pucks and missing passes and opportunities to forecheck.

This standard your holding Sprong to but giving a pass to everyone elese is absurd.


Sprong, dare I say has been the best player tonight.

 

[Bingo71]

Whoop

 

[KIRK]

Hey a goal.
