GDT: #74|Penguins vs Hurricanes|Thur-3/26/15|7:00PM ET|Root|PNC Arena

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Who's MJ going to blame tonight? BB? Downie? The thin mountain air?

 

[SirBrad]

First round exit almost seems like a guarantee. Unless they really spoke this all away in the final 8 games which would not be surprising at this point.

 

[AquaticBirdman]

What the hell is Scuderi doing on the pk? He was standing there in no mans land and they just passed around him. That's 2 goals on him. Brutal

Remember, Shero offered him that fat contract because he's apparently a defensive wizard and PK specialist...

 

[Sorry]

I'm so embarrassed I wish there was a hole I could just crawl into and die.

Why does it seem like the defenseman understand the offensive side of the system so well but it looks like the forwards are lost on an island not knowing what to do most of the time?

Canes color guy who is working between the benches said that the most frustrated penguin right now is David perron, and his teammates tried to calm him down but they couldn't.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Crosby misses from 5 ft out. That's life...

bennetts fault.

 

[Shaftception]

When you spend 90% of your posts criticizing him, it goes beyond "legitimate criticism" territory and becomes a full-blown anti-Crosby schtick.

Despite having the worst year of his career he is still leading the league in scoring while playing less games than his closest competition. He can improve on things, but the constant criticism is not warranted.

I spend 90% of my posts speaking truth, just because it often comes in the form of criticisms doesn't make it wrong. He can improve on things, criticizing those things doesn't mean I'm being unreasonable harsh, he's playing better than he was, that that's not as good as he should be doesn't change that fact.

And again real teams don't have to sacrifice scoring to play shut down defense, this team didn't use to have to, now they can't even do that right while still epically failing at scoring. This begins first and foremost at the coaching. Johnston is failing worse than bylsma ever did, this really is therrien's last days like in it's futility.

 

[Terrapin]

He wasn't brought here to score goals...

Yeah according to Steigy he's going to 'ramp up' the agitating and physicality in the playoffs. You know, like the exact opposite of what he's been doing since he got here

 

[systemsgo]

At least the Isles are also losing... I guess.

I'm amazed at all of our abilities not to turn the game off.

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

Why the hell did I turn on this game?

 

[AquaticBirdman]

I didn't think it was actually possible for this team to regress as much as it has over the past 4 months.

 

[SirBrad]

You really can't come back with MJ next season, you really can't.

It's a shame ownership didn't donwhat they needed to do 3 years ago and can Bylsma and Shero because those 2 extra years really put this team further in the hole.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Boston and Wash both winning. If Boston wins, they'd be 5 pts back. Playoffs were a lock a couple weeks ago.

And Florida still lurking. And Ottawa's not dead, but their bubble might be bursting tonight.

The goaltender position is probably the most difficult to fill. Just ask the Flyers. We don't swap Fleury unless we damn sure have a suitable enough replacement.

If he can get us great assets in return, you deal him. It's as simple as that. We've been swapping out futures for rentals for so long now, the cupboard is almost bare. Something has to give.

We have 'goaltenders of the future'. So what if we went a few years with some stopgaps while the Murray's and Jarry's of the prospect world continue to develop?

We're not winning anything anyway. But a Fleury has massive appeal to teams inside the draft lottery. That's enticing.

 

[Fordy]

bennett's assist

suck it

Canes color guy who is working between the benches said that the most frustrated penguin right now is David perron, and his teammates tried to calm him down but they couldn't.

I would also be frustrated if I was inexplicably demoted every single game.

 

[AquaticBirdman]

His acquisition might've helped to push Adams out of hte lineup (when we're healthy). That's good enough for me.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

They still are.

The problem is that the players seem to think that.

Canes color guy who is working between the benches said that the most frustrated penguin right now is David perron, and his teammates tried to calm him down but they couldn't.

Good. At least someone down there has a ****ing pulse.

 

[deczola]

Maxim was brought in to bring "toughness" as an agitator and score more than Goc. Near 30 games one would hope he would have 3 goals, 3 assists. He has played with Spaling and Bennett.

Maxim is absolutely worse than Adams

 

[JimsDoors]

All around pathetic display.

 

[Killahpunk]

Cole yay!

 

[Fordy]

I LOVE WHAT ADAMS DID

**** bob errey

who made the ****ing takeaway

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Cole scores his first here.

Would be nice if it weren't an exercise in futility

Speak for yourself.

 

[flaneur]

good shot by cole
