Post-Game Talk: A king with no crown: Pens - 1, Kings - 0

[IcedCapp]

+ IcedCapp - I bet this has been a rough week for IC. His favorite player was unceremoniously traded to the Ducks, Crosby has been mostly-dead all year, and the Pittsburgh Media, his idols, have really been off their game.

But IcedCapp was on fire tonight. He skipped a couple of games, but he brought it tonight. Hall of Fame level humor from the Capptain. Way to go, Capp. Happy to have you back. You're the man now, dog.

I feel like I should have a cigarette after this game XD

 

[YinzAintBurgh*]

Whoever said they lost the Neal trade and Hornqvist didn't make them a playoff team stop posting...

 

[vikingGoalie]

THE best game I've seen Fleury play in I don't know how long.
Totally stole that game for us.

 

[billybudd]

How happy is the West to see Hornqvist in the East? This guy owns the whole conference.

[66-30-33]

Matt Murray gets his 9th shutout of the season, Fleury gets his 9th shutout of the season. Fleury gets back to back shutouts vs LA to sweep them.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Hornqvist, I'm real happy for you and imma let you finish, but fleury was tonight's real mvp

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Hell of a game. This is the type of win that a team can turn into a big run.

 

[Fleury3434*]

BuT guys fleury never makes the same when the team really needs him too

 

[roquay]

Awesome awesome game. LA were desperate for a win and we were on our 2nd game of a back to back.

Fleury was huge and Hornqvist wow just a great guy to have in a battle.

PP would have made this game way easier for us.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Fleury was fan-man-tastic tonight. He's been our MVP. Crazy to say that.....

Horns is EXACTLY what this team has been missing for 5 years in the postseason. He's a beast.

Crosby played with burst and was flying most of the night. Liked his energy level.

The PP still sucks so much ass.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

The +'s were everywhere, but Downie really brought it tonight. That's what we need in the post season. And no Adams.

Statement game, week, month, and season for PH. The man simply cannot be stopped. I look forward to the east learning to hate him like the west does.

 

[DoktorZaius]

Really solid effort tonight, kind of shocking we didn't get one in regulation.

Also, we realllly need to work on the PP. The only guys that fulfill their role properly every time are Horns and Malkin. Sid, Tanger, and Kuny all have PP warts that they need to either solve or sit for.

 

[canadianguy77]

Hey coach, stop rewarding 14.

Good game, and they really fought to get that win. Maybe there is hope come playoff time.

First IC was afraid, he was petrified
Kept thinking he could never live without Simone by his side
But then he spent so many nights thinking how y'all did him wrong
And he grew strong and he learned how to get along

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

-Hornqvist and Fleury get the major pluses. Sutter should take some lessons from Hornqvist on how to battle hard, and actually win battles, along the boards.

-Perron and Crosby seem out of sync. Give Sid his BFF back and let's see how Malkin does with Perron for a few games.

-Another plus is Adams didn't dress. Make that permanent and I'll be a happy lad.

-They've ruined Bennett. He's been largely invisible since his "benching to learn how to play the right way".

 

[WayneSid9987]

A real playoff type game on a back to back.
Great game by everyone really.
Oh what the hell...
-Sutter just cuz

Kunitz's new nickname is K-Mart because they're both terrible.

Yay Flower.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Shutout #9. Incredible transformation the past 2 years.

 

[KIRK]

Hey coach, stop rewarding 14.

Good game, and they really fought to get that win. Maybe there is hope come playoff time.

After tonight, I am convinced that if Sid is to win the Art Ross, he'll need a bit more puck luck and Kunitz off the PP. And, I am convinced that if Geno is to win the Art Ross, he'll need to do so over Kunitz's dead body, because that's what he's going to have on his LW for the rest of the season.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Hornqvist just embarrassed Sutter...

Sutter should be embarrassed.

That was embarrassing. Even I feel embarrassed for Sutter.

Embarrassing.
