GDT: #33: Pittsburgh Penguins@Florida Panthers | 7:30 PM ET | TVA, SN, ROOT, FS-F

[Pancakes]

Real impressed by our kids. Pouliot, Harrington, Dumo all looking like they belong.

Sidney....oh Sidney. I hope you break out of your slump soon :/.

 

[Gold Diamond]

This team is *** in the shootout.

 

[WayneSid9987]

At what point do you bring back mustache boy? We have been awful in them this year...

Never. Extra points mean nothing to us.
Practice something else that well help this team in the playoffs.

 

[flaneur]

haha. if i can say one good thing about byslma... he trained his players for the shootout well. time to reinstate moustache boy?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

2-3 in the shootout. Yikes.

They won't, and to be honest, maybe they shouldn't. I know it sucks to lose in the shootout but I mean there are more important things to worry about in practice.

 

[Lomez]

Not a bad game for entertainment value; about as good as can be expected for this Pens team otherwise.

SO practice every once in awhile wouldn't be the worst thing. The winner can have a shiny sticker or something.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Really pissed at that loss. Outplayed in back to back games by the ****ing Cats. MAF makes 7 SO saves and you can't ****ing score once?

Horny missing on the PP in the 2nd was a huge turning point. Would have put us up 2-0 and put them in a hole.

The refs can **** themselves as well. Should have been a trip on Geno in OT. Hell, it lead to a scoring chance by the Cats. Reminds me of the Jagr hook in the Bs series.

****

 

[LionelHutz*]

How cute they still throw rats, even though this isnt 1996 anymore.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Never understood why Luongo got so much hate. He's still a great goalie.

 

[djt153]

some definite growing pains from Harry and dumoulin. You can see why mj loves pouliot. Just a puck possession machine. watching him handle the puck under pressure is unbelievable. if Barcelona were a hockey team they'd be full of pouliots

We're completely banged up and need a break badly. And MAF is lucky it went to the shootout at all so think he's fine with it.

Sidney....oh Sidney. I hope you break out of your slump soon :/.

Those kids belong now.

As I wrote elsewhere, you've got Letang and Ehrhoff. You've got Despres. You're stuck with Scuderi, like it or not.

Between those three kids, I'll fill out my defense and allocate the return and saved cap space to helping out Sid and Geno.

What this game reminded me of is that we're much better off giving Sid and Geno appropriate help and trusting them to make up for flaws (a lack of experience being one of them allegedly) elsewhere in the roster than in asking Sid and Geno to play hockey with infinitely less help than their peers in the name of 'balance'.

 

[Ocoee]

Never understood why Luongo got so much hate. He's still a great goalie.

I'm not a Luongo hater by any means but I feel he's only that good because he takes up the whole net.

The Penguins are missing 9 guys from their opening roster, and the Panthers are better than they once were. I think thiese two games can be looked at for their positives first - but ymmv.

I really don't think they view Despres has that replacement for Martin or Ehrhoff. If you had the same lineup, but one of them in for Despres, they'd be at 24+ minutes.

Despres had 18, fourth in toi behind Letang, Scuderi!!!!! And Pouliot.

 

[Zen Arcade]

3 out of 4 points in a home and home with literally half the team out, I'll take it.

 

[WayneSid9987]

I do see a severe lack of passion from Sid lately. Is it just injuries/mumps/nowingerhelp piling on top of each other? Something needs to happen for this guy to get his passion back. That 3rd period and some of the OT, Sid was awful. Just accepting the Loss really at times. Sad to see.

 

[ProgOg]

Dave Molinari @MolinariPG
Sounds like a wrist injury for Comeau. Not sure of severity, but early indications don't sound encouraging for Penguins.

Holy ****? Bad passes, lack of shooting, those I can see. But lack of passion? What the **** does this mean? Guy is flying, fighting in corners. Lack of passion you use for Kunitz. Christ

 

[darkbrew*]

this team must be historically bad for injuries

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Kunitz is seriously lazy or really, really over the hill, either way I'd be okay with trading him. Plus that would get him off PP1.

Never understood why Luongo got so much hate. He's still a great goalie.

I don't get the hate either.

 

[Ocoee]

This game means more to FLA than Pittsburgh. They won in a skills competition that went 7 rounds? I'm not worried about this game
