GDT: #6|Metallica at PPG|Pens on the road to Toronto....Hey #50, It's my Birthday!

[vodeni]

I almost want Brass as a full time LW so we can see Sheahan back in that 3C role and show more of what he can do with better line mates after what he did last season.

He has a lot more to his game than he wants to show, the confidence from last year is still building.

he looks better than Brassard, I am still waiting to see Brassard dominate one single game as a pen

 

[madinsomniac]

Are we being punked, is that Max Talbot in a Crosby jersey? What's going on.

Told you... the real crosby is missing or hurt... this is the clone they keep in the basement of ppg for such occasions... maybe a robot... not really sure.. but it isn’t the real sid

 

[KIRK]

Sprong gets sat...for..?

Nah, that whole line has been a mess.

 

[Gurglesons]

Sprong gets sat...for..?

The three good lines, because every line he plays on is a possession dark hole. But now it is Brassard and Simon's fault.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Man, I love how Guentzel can throw a hit like that.

All 125lbs of him too!

Seriously though if Jake were to ever get the build of Crosby, woo boy, watch out league.

 

[ColePens]

Guys.. Kessel is busting his ass in the neutral zone.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sprong gets sat...for..?

Because he caused their line to get caught out on the ice for a very long time and his entire line got benched. If you want to complain about something, you should complain about Brassard getting chances with Crosby's line.

Lemieux must've left the basement gate open.

 

[Shrimper]

Can't sit back, that's what the Leafs will want.

 

[Ugene Magic]

These guys look like a well oiled machine compared to the earlier games.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Brassard, to me anyways, looked his best when he was on Sid's LW. I think I would explore that more given our C depth right now.

 

[KIRK]

Did you know that Letang has been on the ice for 13 shots for and 3 against though? @ColePens

 

[PensandCaps]

Nah, that whole line has been a mess.

Mostly because of Simon though. Brassard hasn't been good either but got promoted to Sids line.

 

[JTG]

Yeah, the team was playing the puck like it was hot potato and just did not want to carry it, like the moment they got it, they acted like they needed to dump it right away.

They're actually carrying the puck, forwards are coming back to support, etc. They're actually playing like a freaking team for once.

What I like is the defensemen are pinching and carrying the puck, and these guys are doing old school cycles. It hurts me to say, but as the squad gets older, we need to play a smarter game like the Wings did in the 2000's. When we play teams like Toronto or Edmonton, we have to outsmart/outwork them v. just being the fastest team.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Phil wants this win. Great D

 

[Empoleon8771]

Simon has been on the ice for 3 shot attempts for and 16 against. Brassard is at 4 and 16. Yikes.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Brass-Sid-Jake back as a line.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Oh Sid

 

[Shrimper]

Disappointed with Brassard this season so far

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Phil wants this win. Great D

Phil giveth.

 

[JTG]

Lol. With all of the skill Toronto has I'd die if Hainsey was the guy that put them over the top.

 

[ColePens]

HMK holy shit!!

 

[Andy99]

Brass-Sid-Jake back as a line.

So Brass gets promoted for sucking and Sprong gets benched...so Sully...

 

[PensandCaps]

Because he caused their line to get caught out on the ice for a very long time and his entire line got benched. If you want to complain about something, you should complain about Brassard getting chances with Crosby's line.

Well, yah that was mostly my point. If you're gonna sit Sprong and Simon. Sit Brassard too. Who hasn't been any good either today. But I guess he is a proven NHLer and gets a much longer rope.

 

[ColePens]

Did you know that Letang has been on the ice for 13 shots for and 3 against though? @ColePens

Dumo/Letang.. i cannot get enough. They are insane.
