GDT: #77|Rivalry Edition|Flyers @ Penguins|8 PM EST|NBCSN, TVA, SN1

[FDBluth]

Shouldn't we want to try to pull a goalie at some point? Do we actually want to win a game? I would have done it at the last o-zone faceoff. What is there to lose, really?

 

[KIRK]

Sweet jesus I forgot lol

So in one summer Shero did this:

Dupuis - 4 year extension

Scuderi - 4 year contract as a UFA

Kunitz - 3 year extension

DB - 2 year extension

Adams - 2 year extension

This team was basically destroyed within the span of 3 months.

A virtual rectal exam for the Penguins fan base.

 

[Crosberry87]

Take Crosby and Malkin off this team and we're the front runners for McDavid. This might very well be the worst managed team in the league. Opening day next week!

Downie does need to shut his ****ing mouth. This whole team does. It's not right, but refs will take mental notes of guys who bark at 'em, and **** them over. It's no secret, it's always been that way.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

So my primary question after actually paying to attend a couple periods of this (the one I went with gets up at 5:30 so we always planned on going only 2 periods, though the Pens made leaving really easy).

Why is there no fire MJ thread on this board?

 

[KIRK]

The Flyers beat the Blackhawks 4-1.

We're losing 4-1. We must be as good as the Hawks.

I'm pretty sure there's an inherent flaw in that logic. I'm trying to figure out how to explain it . . .

Guys on every team chirp the refs. You are just excusing the refs for acting like unprofessional *******s.

EDIT: You know, I've noticed the refs are giving someone like Malkin more leeway as the year has progressed. And, if you look at one guy who's complain level is a lot less than it's been, it's him. Like most of the league, he gets away with **** now that's 10X worse than the stuff you've seen called tonight.

 

[Jackpot Jaret]

Its incredibly aggravating as a longtime Penguins fan. This team is NEVER healthy. We could add Malkin and Letang, and wed have others drop. It just seems like if Crosby cant score, we cant score period. This team is boring, Sutter, Spaling, Downie, Comeau, Lapierre, Adams, Bennett, Kunitz....Nobody can create their own offence.

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

This ****ing game won't end.

 

[Rocket of Russia]

Sutter along the boards is freaking brutal. Newborn calf out there.

And that's why I laugh when people suggest Shero should have been spared.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Orpik used to bark at the refs all the time and was never treated like Downie so don't give me that bs.

 

[Coastal Kev]

I say go postal.... The Refs want to make a mockery of the game, the Pens should do likewise. It would bring light to the mess that is the refereeing in the NHL.

 

[CAPS LOCK]

So does anyone have any idea what the announcement about Malkin is all about?

 

[Rocket of Russia]

Did Beau really need to go for a change with 24 seconds left?

 

[Jacob]

That was ugly.

Because it honestly doesn't matter. Just replacing the coach won't dona damn thing.

Unbelievable that he felt the need to lock up those players. We couldn't give any of these guys away now.

 

[Waffle Fries]

He's retiring.

 

[chethejet]

Embarrassed again on national TV. This team hasn't been a cup contender since 2009. Fans boo the sh** out of them. This is a disgrace of an effort. No excuse at this time of the year.

Hey at least Crosby scored his 300th NHL goal...thats pretty sweet

 

[AquaticBirdman]

That's most the team actually, not just him. Why these guys are being told to force play along the boards so damn much is beyond me. It's the easiest thing for teams to defend against.

 

[Will Hunting]

I don´t care anymore. It´s pretty clear that our level is gonna stay terrible in the regular season. If it stays terrible in the playoffs, too, then I will be furious.. I think it will stay like this in the playoffs too, but I will wait for it to happen. Flyers can have these two points, I couldn´t care less (if anything, it hurts their tank). As for the Penguins, I want them to play the Habs and there´s still a chance.

 

[Hophog]

That was ugly.

I expected it to be but I always allow that hope to creep in, especially when we get the first goal. I guess I should be thankful that it wasn't a violent game where half our players were hurt. We got out of it no worse for wear. Now we just have to figure out how to get a win with only 5 D for the remainder of the season.
