If Pittsburgh was Toronto that dude would be fired. Since it's a fair weather fan city, no one even read that tweet
From one of the Pittsburgh beats.
I like TK, but he’s terrible defensively. Better than he used to be, which must have been a hell of a coaching chore, but he still makes some God-awful high risk, low reward plays at bad times that go the other way. I can’t blame any coach who’s reticent to put him out there in situations where you can’t afford a quick strike goal against.Hart was amazing, singlehandly stole that game and had the Pens muttering to themselves.
But that showed the whole problem since Gordon took over, totally a product of goalie play.
Another game where the team was seriously outshot, and outchanced:
SCF/CA 19/27, HDCF/CA 5/10
Flyers did pick it up in the 3rd period, partially out of desperation. Without Hart, it could have been 4-0 by then.
Worst offenders:
SCF/CA, HDCF/CA
Provorov 4/13, 2/5
Sanheim 4/14, 2/5
Couts 5/11, 2/6
Voracek 7/12, 1/6
Lindblom 6/11, 1/5
Giroux 2/9, 1/0
Pens dominated our best group, not a good sign, imagine if they had Malkin.
Gordon's "keep it outside" may explain the bad Corsi, but if it's allowing scoring chances and HD chances, what's the point?
Best performances:
Myers 5/2, 0/1
Ghost 3/3, 0/2
Hagg 11/11, 3/4
Gudas 11/11, 3/3
Hartman 5/0, 2/0
Varone 6/3, 1/1
Knight 4/0, 1/1
I think for the 3rd pair and 4th line, this reflects easy matchups, but that's why Sanheim's metrics when he was being sheltered were misleading.
TK 3/7, 1/3, TK has had bad metrics since Gordon took over irregardless of where he plays in the lineup. He's scoring, but otherwise is a black hole. That's why he's being spotted and kept away from tough matchups.
Holmgren and our coaching staff are our black hole.
A smart move would to trade Shrek and replenish picks and or roster players BUT one thing we can rely on is that they won’t do that because when the Pens don’t have the 1-2 combo of Sid and Malkin they go from good to suck very fast, or is it suck to blow?pittsburgh has been bad this year, that team is going to be la kings declining from age team in the east next year, im surprised they are in this race, it's going to be one and done for them because washington and tampa are too good to be beaten by pittsburgh.
im not going to be surprised if the pens are going to rebuild next year because they have really declined.
Carter Hart for Hart. Calder Hart?Carter Hart for Calder
Thanks for the help laddies. Well take all we can get.
Signed Canes fans.
I think youll find a lot of flyers fans requesting honorary Canes membership if you all make the playoffs. Maybe we can have our own subsection of fans and just call ourselves the Nor'easters or something.
Maybe for Brindy's sake, but I want both them and Columbus to get murdered in the first round.

I don’t give a damn about the Canes, but I want to see another Don Cherry meltdown.
That was a great effort. Without that play there is no comeback and no pointsWell in fairness Provy-Sanheim had multiple shifts in the 2nd where they couldn't get off the ice. Provorov made a fantastic play to save the game to stop an empty-net goal.
Annoying as f***Then what does that make Jack Edwards?
I maintain that Provorov is a below-average passer. He has all the other offensive skills but he's not good passing the puck especially when pressured. And Hagg is a terrible passer. But the bigger issue is the forwards don't support the puck.
