GDT: #4: Pittsburgh Penguins VS Winnipeg Jets|Part 2|The Penguins Go Full Rossi

[66-30-33]

HORRIBLE game, perhaps worse then the Leafs game...ohwell, only game number 4. But WTF????? why would Bylsma call a timeout with 12.9 seconds left in a 4-2 game? games over breh! Bylsma see's the game the same way he coaches the game....patient untill the end. Now we play the Sens, they are steam rolling! not gonna be an easy game, Pens better be prepared for them, they are gonna wanna take it to us losing that game tonight against TB.

Nah, Duper and Kunitz are fine . . . #2 and #3 in forward TOI.

TOI means jack all when neither of them are capable of putting together a play. Kunitz is a turnover machine and Dupuis suddenly forgot how to receive a pass. Seriously, #9 had SO MANY freaking pucks just glide off his blade, wtf???

 

[gordie]

lol you look at tonight and blame Cooke and Adams?

ok start with Duper and Kunitz and work your way down.

Not blaming them, just saying it is time to move on from 2009.

 

[Lionel Hutz]

Time for a trade

But it's 4 games and were 2-2. Stop panicking/calling for the coaches head.

 

[KIRK]

There pretty much aren't any better coaches out there unless you want an oddball like Ted Nolan or a guy like Mike Keenan that'll have Crosby playing a shutdown role.

Dave King . . . now head of scouting or something like that for Phoenix.

A guy like that will get this team back to the basics, and you sure as **** won't have to worry about seeing the team outcoached.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Also, Malkin and Neal looked completely lost in the defensive zone. Winnipeg kept gaining momentum everytime they touched the ice.

 

[domaug*]

Because the penguins aren't that good.

thanks.

in other news, the sky is blue.

You're right. Let's wait until we're one and done again.

 

[Romang67]

You know you guys want to trade Evander Kane for ultimate defenseman Ben "Bobby Orr Junior" Lovejoy .
But yeah, good game. Love the crowd you guys got.

Lets be serious, you don't want him. Have you seen his haircut?

Good game tonight guys. Was unusual to only see one of Malkin and Crosby have multiple point against us though.

 

[End of Line]

Can somebody with a better eye for systems and such please explain to me what our offensive strategy is?

Stretch passes.

We haven't won a series since losing to Montreal.

You're right. It's not that it has been like this the last two years.

What about that Russian guy? he said Malkin should play on the PK. Forget his name, but everyone seemed to want him.

Close you're eyes and hope for the best.

 

[IcedCapp]

I need to watch games with some of you guys. I thought Martin was fine tonight. Easily 15 players with worse games.

 

[KIRK]

Also, Malkin and Neal looked completely lost in the defensive zone. Winnipeg kept gaining momentum everytime they touched the ice.

???

Malkin had a lot of ugh moments, but he actually was picking up his guys and backchecking hard. Where he ran into trouble was when two other Pens weren't picking up their guys and he had to decide which of the three guys to take.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Stretch passes.

Thats what I thought, but I figured there'd have to be more to it than that.

 

[Captain Hook]

We win 2 games and the system has changed and is great. We lose 2 games and the system is horrendous blah, blah, blah... I don't think it's the system guys. The players are turning too many pucks over and making terrible decision in general. Blame for that can certainly fall on the coach some too.

It's not about the record it's about how they play.

 

[Dupree13]

Shero seems to be 100% on board with Byslma's philosophy, so I think things will have to really hit rock bottom before he would fire him.

In fact, I actually think Mario might fire Shero before Shero would fire Bylsma.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Stretch passes.

I thought it was no look drop passes to the other team.

 

[IcedCapp]

But it's 4 games and were 2-2. Stop panicking/calling for the coaches head.

no one is reacting to 2-2, they're reacting to the same issues that have plagued this team for years.

Keep the puck in their zone as long as you can, but it's not working just like it didn't last post season. Bounce here, flub there, puck in the net.

My point about Dupuis and Kunitz was that they had more TOI than Malkin and Neal.
