GDT: #38 | Penguins vs Blues | Sat Dec29@8pmEST | FS-MW, ATTSN-PT

[Gold Diamond]

Brass sucks.

 

[ColePens]

I am about 80% sure that I'm done with Brassard. That give-up shift and his body language is driving me crazy. The guy gives 0 f***s.

 

[BHD]

Lol. Even when he's in dire straits, Maatta's skating is slow as hell.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Hagelin’s reaction to that flip

He got to learn from the master, young Jedi....

 

[Tom Hanks]

Didn't it tip off the top?

Say that 10 times real fast

 

[lordstanley91]

So many picks and obstruction against the forecheck it’s nauseating

 

[Andy99]

Brass....stop doing dumb things!

Some of you guys who want Maatta out of the lineup might get their wish...trust me, Olek in and Maatta out is not a win....

 

[KIRK]

Not saying he has a case. Just maybe that is why he looks so not Brassard.

Or maybe, as I mentioned the other day, he's better suited to play more of a passive trapping style where offense is predicated on countering off neutral zone turnovers. Boucher. AV. Hitch.

I mean, one COULD make a comparable argument about Geno being a better defensive player in a similar situation with Therrien or Johnston than he was/has been with Bylsma and Sully.

This isn't new either. He's the first guy I would have healthy scratched when the team was shitting the bed last month.

Brassard touched a puck.

Board groupthink mentality is back. Least we are off Letang!

Maybe he knows his time as a Pen is numbered?

 

[KIRK]

Sure he wasn’t just skating off normally

Well yes.

But, the whole dropping the stick and desperately waving for someone to come on for him as the Blues had the puck in the Pens zone kind of was the tell . . .

 

[Shrimper]

Need you here Murray. Going to be busy.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Man, I love Murray. So glad hes back to his game now.

 

[BHD]

Guentzel on the PK? Interesting...

 

[ColePens]

Maybe he knows his time as a Pen is numbered?

He does that like once or twice a game. I actually wrote about it in the salary cap thread BEFORE this game and he proves me right. He just f***ing gives up on plays that are still live. I cannot stand him.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Guentzel on the PK? Me like...

him and Sid killed some last game too

 

[KIRK]

Watching this Blues PP, it's clear that Yohe is gone but he's not forgotten.

 

[Andy99]

So Rust is going to go cold now? Say it isn’t so...

 

[ColePens]

58 is having a MONSTER game. He's like Troy Polamalu out there. He's everywhere.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Guentzel on the PK? Me like...

Him a Sid have had PK shifts of late

 

[Gurglesons]

Rusty. What. A. Play.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Great kill...

we need a hard working 3C who never looks disinterested, someone like Sheahan

I guess. Or he just needs ice time and Sully’s dicking him around playing him three shifts a period.

 

[Shrimper]

Good kill
