Bad win playing bad hockey.
- Puck management
- F3
- No fire
- Team speed
- Forcing plays
- To much collapsing
+ PP
When you play a fast, overly aggressive team like the Isles you don't throw so many pucks to the points, let alone doing it blindly. Get pucks deep and keep them there.

Funny how theres not many pluses in a win.
Crosby
Murray
Kunitz
Cooke
Niskanen was terribad.
Despres with some dumb play but he's better/faster than Engelland.
Letang constantly getting passes picked off.
Thought Eaton was our best D-Men behind Murray.
I'd actually get some more speed in the lineup.
I'd sub Kennedy in for Bennett cuz we all know DB won't bench Glass and hope Orpik is ready.
We can't play much worse 5on5. Lots of work to do and these guys know it.

I think half of Malkin's problem right now wears #12. Zero compete from that guy right now at ES. Sorry, but Malkin and Bennett are playing SH hockey at ES.

Good call. I forgot about Cooke.
Also, another minus. Sutter. He isn't doing anything either defensively or offensively. I miss Staal (though I think Staal's shutdown ability is a bit overrated)

Just ignore the main board, for those wanting to rub anyone's face in it or anything of that sort.
But it is fun to read. I love the 'even neutral observers say it's garbage!' sentiment when it's all Flyers, Bruins, and Senators fans.

Maybe during next game you should say we should give back the three cups already won.

Maybe two. I just pray that when Neal comes back Iggy gets moved to Sid's line.
+ KUUUUUUnitz with two HUGE goals.
+ Savior Sid, the envy of the hockey playing world, the secret man-crush of Mike Dewshbury and Jeremy Roadlick, and arguably even more God-like since losing teeth, used his Jedi-mind-powers to force Strait into taking a penalty, and then made arguably the greatest assist of all times to Kunitz, who's shot is made more powerful simply by being near Sid. Would like to see more intensity though.
+ Lazy Malkin with 2 more pts.
+ Cooke for continuing to show class and prove to the world he is a better human being than they are and they're just jealous on account of not being able to play on a team with Sid and Lazy Malkin.
+ Douglas "Thunder Hands" Murray
+ Silencing a Long Island crowd that frankly, showed Pens fans what they were supposed to be doing the last 3 years in the post-season, making loud and rowdy chants even after getting scored on, etc.
+ Not much else.
I wonder when the choir starts on just how awful Iginla looks ES right now. Reminds me of watching Malkin playing with Ponikarovsky in 2010 . . . it's THAT ******* bad.

Honest question, not being critical...but why does anyone even bother to go to the main board? It's nothing but trolling when the Pens lose and crying conspiracy when they win, what does anyone hope to gain? Is someone going to talk sense into the mouthbreathers that inhabit that board, or...?

Coach Bylsma asked which of Crosby's 3 assists were most impressive, "Drawing the penalty" #Pens

+++Sid. Willed the win. He was everywhere.
+Cooke. Quietly had his stick in lanes breaking up scoring chances left and right.
~Malkin. Brutal at the beginning of the game (again), but got a lot better as the game went on. Stopped cherrypicking and started playing his position. About time.
~Letang was very uneven.
-acquisitions. Only Murray had a good game.
---Fleury. The defense has no confidence in him and it's getting us pinned in our zone. They've got the mentality that if an Islander gets even a semi-clean look at the net, it's going in. They're right. This is why they collapse instead of pressure at the line. Every time the puck goes behind the net, Fleury loses track of the play completely. He's tossing weak wrist shots that hit him in the crest back into either the slot or down into the crease. I'm not generally a Fleury hater (can check my pluses and minuses if there's a doubt) but this is 4 years of this now. That's a long enough sample size for me to feel confident in wanting him yanked.
I'd give Sutter a minus, but I can't confidently say he even dressed today.

+ Fleury. He played an amazing game today. Given the fact than none of the goals were his fault, his save percentage was 1.000. Thats what we need from our elite, all star goalie. Excellent game from him.
- Everyone else. Everyone was responsible for the Islanders shooting the puck. Not Fleury's fault any of them went in.
