GDT: #65 - Penguins @ Habs 19:00 - I've Got A Cold Edition

[pistolpete11]

It's probably not time to relax, to be fair. But there is a happy medium. We are in the playoffs right now to be fair. There is no sugar coating it.

If your level is 'must win' then yes, you need to relax a little. It's an important game, but losing doesn't mean they won't make the playoffs.

Just like winning doesn't mean they will make the playoffs.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Of life? Maybe this year but come on now. One bad year doesn't mean we are the napkin!

Well two but yeah mostly one and a half.

That locker room is feeling the sense of must win now. So I don't have a clue what you are talking about. It's the playoffs right now. The sense of urgency is there. You would be insane to think otherwise and I guarantee the boys have talked about it.

As a fan, it's time to watch around the league each night. Mostly because it's fun and nothing else. This is entertainment at the end of the day. While it's most definitely not an elimination game tonight as some perceive, it's definitely important. And if you are a fan, what a better time to tune in each night. There is a little extra something in each of these games.

Sit back and enjoy it.

Just don't see the horses on the back end to get this W.
Again, i'll keep saying this but...surprise me.
Don't care who's playing...just surprise me...

As I said, it's important game, but it is not a 'must win'. 'Must win' means exactly that. They must win it. That is not the situation they are in. It's that simple.

Edit: And I'm talking as fans. Not the players.

 

[Pete Gas]

Montreal has owned us the past 2 games this season it’s gonna be tough.

 

[The Old Master]

naw, we are due.

 

[Al Smith]

If I recall, they were noticeably faster than the Pens the first two times, and the Pens had a lot of trouble with that speed. I think we iced the slowest defense in the league last night, and we're down one of our speediest wingers, plus Hagelin was around the first two games, I think.

I don't think this team has the Testicular, mental, dental, and chiropractic fortitude to bust their ass to make the playoffs.

 

[Gurglesons]

Pens play like we did last night and we win tonight.

Got believe Sid and Geno are going to put this team on their backs.

Kessel needs a goal too.

 

[PensandCaps]

JJ plays better when he gets more mins. Idgit

 

[IcedCapp]

Naaah. With CBJ losing today and us playing them twice in less than 10 days, we have our backdoor in.

That’s my favourite door.

 

[KIRK]

Naaah. With CBJ losing today and us playing them twice in less than 10 days, we have our backdoor in.

And if push comes to shove, we can always hope someone loses enough for us to backdoor in thereafter just like 2015.

 

[KIRK]

That’s my favourite door.

I'm not sure @ColePens meant it that way.

I'm also not sure that he didn't.

 

[Shrimper]

So... Matt Murray's starting tonight

 

[66-30-33]

UFC tonight, i'll miss this one but updating on my phone. Go Jon Jones!

 

[Gurglesons]

So... Matt Murray's starting tonight

Thank the lord.

 

[Andy99]

 

[Andy99]

So... Matt Murray's starting tonight

Ah, why...think it’s a mistake...I hope Sullivan will have a short leash

 

[cheesedanish87]

Murray hasn't been good when sully has played him b2b in the past, but Murray has been way better then CDS on the road this year.

I'v said I would start to play Murray on the road more and CDS at home more.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I remember when I was looking forward to Schultz coming back so we could finally have a good puck-mover on each of the top 2 pairings.

Didn't even last 2 games.

 

[Woodrow]

Does any one have Murray's stats for back to backs? I don't recall him doing well in those situations.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

If the Pens play like they did last night for 60 minutes they will win.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I remember them being bad as well.

IIRR he was even bad at WB in those spots.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

If the Pens play like they did last night for 60 minutes they will win.

Will they though? Montreal's better than Buffalo.
