GDT: #69 | Penguins @ Team They Always Lose To

[BHD]

Penguins (39-23-6) @ Devils (28-28-12)
7:00 PM EST
MSG+, ATTSN - PT

SCOUTING REPORT

The Penguins have gone from showing the heart of a champion to needing to do some soul searching. They’re 2-8 (being outscored 40-23) since playing their way to the top of the division. It’s gut check time.

Meanwhile, the Devils are playing out what has been a disappointing season. It’s been a season where they fired the coach, dismissed the GM, and moved a star player - all before the trade deadline. Don't worry, though. Travis Zajac is still around to score against the Pens.

I'm going to repost this...

If you are frustrated and you take it out on a peer, you will be banned - no exceptions. Don't get frustrated at your peer. Get frustrated at the players on that ice and the organization.

Go Pens

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Make sure you don’t believe the hype after we win. I need more than this W.

I don’t think we’ll have to worry about that. Our guys are playing scared...

[TheGuiminator]

Watch out, the Devils are gonna look like the early 2000’s Devil, can’t wait

 

[BeatenLikeRentedMule]

Every team looks like the 2000s Devils vs the Pens right now.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Let’s get back on track and let the Devils get back to what they were doing.

[Sidney the Kidney]

Hopefully the players actually play like they give a damn tonight. It's been awhile since that seemed to be the case.

Cool snuff gif.

 

[barbosa]

No Bjugs. Now I like our chances just a tad better

 

[ownal]

Boyle was the Pens killer on the Devils. Good thing he is gone. W.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Cool snuff gif.

They all lived.

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

It's funny how Sheary got to play in the top 6 right away and is still there. Kahun only got a few shifts all year long.

 

[EightyOne]

Cool snuff gif.

Bsh!

They all lived.

EXACTLY!

It's f***ing amazing!

I would not put a FacesOfDeath gif here

Pens cruising into the playoffs

Better them cruising into the playoffs than actually taking a cruise.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Sully is on Bylsma levels of stubborn these days with these lines. Ugh.

I see what you *cough* did there

 

[The Old Master]

Sully is on Bylsma levels of stubborn these days with these lines. Ugh.

what's that saying about keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

 

[OscarsCards]

Team they always lose to?



P.S. saw this moment on TV like a few minutes back, don't ask.

 

[K Fleur]

Once they traded Galchenyuk the team effort went to shit. He was the king of “he’s trying out there”

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Make sure you don’t believe the hype after we win. I need more than this W.

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

 

[Icarium]

Just added Blackwood to my fantasy team. In the unlikely scenario of the Pens scoring a lot, you'll know whom to thank.

I am going to make the wild guess that if we fall behind we will lose in an embarrassing fashion.
