GDT: A GDT In August, WTF 2020! - Game 3 Pens v Habs Aug 5th

[Shady Machine]

Woof this is just sad. Not sure what the solution is to be honest.

 

[Empoleon8771]

A sweep and a series loss here means heads are being chopped.
Don't just think Sully being the only one gone.

Sullivan isn't being fired, so it's pointless to act like he will be fired.

Not only are they not going to fire a coach before his extension even begins, but they're not going to fire a coach after losing such a weird play-in series.

 

[K Fleur]

Good thing Johnson only has 30 more years on his contract!

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

you just know MTL is going to win this series and get smoked in the next round--only to cement how terrible the penguins really are.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Try some new lines. What else to lose now?

 

[PensandCaps]

Zero reason to play Johnson as much as he does, when you have a top 10 D in Letang and Marino on pair 2.

I swear JJ and Schultz are out there after commercial breaks!

 

[Shrimper]

I'd scratch Marleau and Johnson next game. Play the young guys, they'll be hungry. PoJ and ?

 

[KIRK]

My goodness this looks sad.

Come on! Get some life. Its f***ing now!

It's worse than it looks.

EDIT: Malkin shoots. Price is handcuffed and drops it. And Rust and Zucker are out for a morning skate instead of going hard to the net.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I cannot believe we are about to face elimination against these clowns.

 

[Turin]

Sportsnet wondering why Crosby and Malkin never play with each other in Ozone draws.

Same

 

[canadianguy77]

Schultz is just plain cooked.

He’ll be lucky to get a PTO after this

 

[ColePens]

Tbh if the Penguins lose to the Habs, I wonder if Hornqvist is at risk at being moved.

I mean.. he's the one guy they NEED. I would be seriously shocked if they trade him. Not just being a 72 drama queen here. I love 72. But dude... they need him.

 

[Night Shift]

I see the pro-Sheary posters have been raptured from this thread.

YEAH pro Sheary here

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Need a Bobby Farnham type of shift from someone. Where is the energy boys

 

[sovietsanta87]

Penguins are 0-69 when Bob Errey calls a game "out of reach" when the Penguins are up by two.

Penguins also 0-69 when the local media yahoos claim an inferior team will be shooed away by the Penguins in a series.

 

[pensfansince88]

12.50%

 

[Clare2904]

Toooo much dead weight on this team.

McCann
Hornqvist
Schultz
Johnson
Sheary
Marleau
Petterson

Major major changes are needed this offseason.

You forgot whatshisface, Bjugstad or has he already gone?

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Letang is one of the most athletic hockey players in the world. Let him play 30 minutes.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

No rebound dang. 5 minutes left top 2 lines if I see ZAR out there once you don't wanna win this game

 

[TheGuiminator]

Only against Pittsburgh you will see Price play at his full potential and steal a series

 

[Bingo71]

Just hilarious and predictable.

All it took was the complete lack of composure for a few minutes and the Habs took over.

ZAR started it and Letang finished it. Way to get sucked in boys...

 

[Empoleon8771]

That'd be dumb. But yes.

I mean who else could you move that actually sounds as a seismic move? Murray and Hornqvist both fit that, and you can talk about Letang as well if you want to get really big. That's about it, though.

 

[dogthateats]

I haven't noticed Marleau since the 1st

 

[KIRK]

Third pairing does suck, admittedly. But I don't think moving that suck to other pairings helps, nor do I think Ruh/Rikko make much of a difference. I haven't paid attention to what their ice time is though.

When you check it out, make sure you keep any sharp objects away . . .

 

[cassius]

Love that we have a roster full of hall of famers... and getting a single shot on net vs. a mediocre opponent is like pulling teeth.

These guys like collecting their fat million dollar checks and not working out, practicing, etc.. that's evident. I can't blame them. It's clear they want to get this over with and get back to playing golf every day

Just no hunger, no compete level, and no desire whatsoever.
