"Stat padding"
"SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE"
"**** you, 12. You trash homie."

 

[Gurglesons]

Shouldn't this be called the let's all talk **** on Lovejoy thread?

I don't really mind this. They looked good against teams that were better like LA, Sharks, and Ducks. They looked good one period, totally blew the Oilers out and then let them get back in. Happens to the best of teams all the time.

 

[IcedCapp]

Another 18:01 game for Kunitz, 2nd in TOI behind only Malkin.

Gotta play your best players man

Adams was one of the few bright spots. When the team got into trouble, he was able to beam leadership thoughts to them using ESP.

What a warrior. The indispensable man

 

[specialized]

I wish all games scores where like this...

 

[flaneur]

- steiggy. really terrible

+ crosby
+ malkin getting his 700th point. he was pretty quiet through most of the game though
- lovejoy. rough game
- fleury. rough game

- team almost falling in a the trap game

 

[Shockmaster]

If there was ever a time to make Kunitz a healthy scratch, it's this weekend.

 

[KIRK]

18:01 TOI for Chris Kunitz, 2nd behind only Malkin and more PP time than every Penguins player except Letang.

It's on the coaches at this point.

I said it in the GDT. Sykora became exposed as a linemate for Geno and Feds in 2009 after the coaching change, when his skating got exposed. He was always a half step too late, like Kunitz is now. It took falling behind 2-0 to the Caps for the coaches finally to admit it. I don't expect a similar admission this year when circumstances cry otherwise.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Does Kunitz have a horse?

Can we cut its head off and stick it in his bed?

 

[AgentM]

Gotta give some love to the bottom six for scoring in this game, we'll need that more consistently going forward.

 

[KIRK]

It's going to cost the team in the playoffs. The only question is how many games and if it costs them a series.

 

[plaidchuck]

If the oilers can do this just wait till we see what the islanders cam do.

 

[Waffle Fries]

+ Crosby
+ Hornqvist

- Experience

 

[cajal]

------ Craigers most likely plays next game, based upon... well, nothing other than the team checking out after going up 4-0. It obviously wouldn't help, but Steiggy does have MJ on speed dial dontchaknow

 

[KIRK]

If there was ever a time to make Kunitz a healthy scratch, it's this weekend.

Mike Johnston doesn't have the balls.

****, he doesn't have the balls to use him as anything but the team's top winger at this point.

 

[chethejet]

It is a win. Horny and Perron looked good with Sid. Pens not real sharp but 2 points. DP will sit and needs to the next game. Ehrhoff is hopefully fine with Lovejoy and DP needs some box and watch time. Comeau and Kunitz were not that good tonight. that could be an issue.
Sid+
Cole+
Fourth line+

"If"? Not "When"?

The insanity of that sentence.

 

[Joejosh999]

Yay we so good!
Oh noes we SUK
YAY we're good again!!!

Exhausting. At least we have 6 months to get ready for the playoffs.

+ Stat padding
+ Sidavitric Crronqvist flying out there
+ Neutral zone when we cared
+++++ Passes off the pads (we need this guys)

- Professionalism
- D-zone coverage
---- Despres (count the minuses folks!)

 

[clefty]

This team has been ****ing narcoleptic for six damn years.

+ Sidavitric Crronqvist flying out there

Horronsby.

Really, what do you say at this point?

Kunitz is dog ****. It might not even look as bad if you treated him like he was Fedotenko circa 2009 instead of like he was Kunitz circa 2009.

It definitely would help Malkin to take a few shifts away from Kunitz, because he's getting zero every game. Only way Malkin gets ES minutes is if Kunitz is right there with him.
