I loved that ****** team

Yeah it was so much fun missing the playoffs and having dick tarnstrom lead the team in scoring.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Because our coach is concerned with looking good and wiffle ball, and their coach is concerned with BBQ sauce and structure.

grab your ****ing sacks and eat some ****ing Häagen-Dazs

 

[PensFanSince1989]

Buffalo, LA, Phoenix. Gonna be a rough week.

 

[SidGenoMario]

You can't win 'em all. It's just one game, stop being such haters

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Yeah why can't we choke in the first round?

The Pens have done it before and they'll do it again.

 

[66-30-33]

We'd probs get farther with him than with Bylsma

He would not have friggin Glass and Adams on the 1st ****in line.....Like WHAT THE ****??????? Who the **** does this?

Every year is the same except for 91, 92, and 09

obviously I prefer the team that is a lock to win its division. But that team was likeable even though they sucked imo. With expectations and the like, this team is much more frustrating to watch.

 

[KIRK]

I'm really looking forward to the generic platitudes that the players are going to spit out to explain this game. I'm expecting a "we need to play harder" with a dash of "we need to put together a 60 minute game".

Don't forget 'Harlem Globetrotters'.

 

[roquay]

Supporting the English cricket team would be less depressing than following this team at the moment.

England doesn't win over 70% of their matches

Pretty sure he'd have Iggy on Sid's line too

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Good job sucking, Pens.




Oh, you mean they're not supposed to do that on purpose? Awkward.

 

[KIRK]

Buffalo, LA, Phoenix. Gonna be a rough week.

To quote Razor, they're going to be 'rectum rattlers'.

 

[SidGenoMario]

This is the top team in their conference, YEAH. They really suck guys. They're terrible. Uh-huh. I guess every team in the conference sucks. Uh-huh. Sure.

That was sarcasm, by the way.

 

[NMK11]

I just can't understand how people can watch this team be abysmal, not even just have an off night, but awful... And go "We're tops in the East, boys! Stop complaining!"

Uhh, we're going to get absolutely ****ing trashed in the playoffs. Trashed.

At least for me and what seems like a few others, it's not that we don't see the team needs fixing and is doing the same things that get them bounced from the playoffs, it's that this board has no middle ground. Everything sucks all the time. When we're playing well or we beat a good team, it's still all about how much DB, RS, and certain players suck. It seems that there are a lot of people on here who find it physically impossible to say "the team played well today and had a good game, but still need to fix things". People have a right to complain when the team is playing poorly (like tonight), but the over the top doom and gloom is grating.

I used to love coming to HF Boards because there was always such great discussions about the game and the team, but now every time I log on every other post is "DB/RS are the worst ever" and "I hate this team". We get it, and I wish every GDT didn't deteriorate into bashing the team. Let's get a thread devoted to that and keep it there.

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Jay started off the excuse train with "every time they [the Pens] go into a building they're going to face that team's best game."

Foreshadowing is what people are complaining about, not the 3-0 loss.

 

[Ugene Magic]

The Pens didn't match anything Dallas brought.

+++ Lehtonen #1 Star

 

[chethejet]

I can see Mario wondering exactly when Letang will understand he is getting paid to be a top defensemen. It is now time to let him know he needs to pick it up now. For once I would like the Mario to dress down Shero and Bylsma for this roster and Mario to tell them flat out no cup no job.

No ****ing ****

Good luck pal.

That's what he's paid to do.

Ya the Pens would never choke in the 1st round!

So look at our wins since the Christmas break:

Winnipeg, Vancouver, Islanders, Flames, ... I forget who else:

did the team play well?

They won, but did they play well? People are *****ing about the same things over and over and over because they are evident win or lose.

Trotting Chuck Kobasew out there on the 1st line, betting your life on Brooks Orpik, Shutdown Defender, and feeding every second of the PP to the 7.25MM$ man don't smack of self-evaluation.
