OT: Around the NHL - Nathan MacKinnon is good at hockey

[LOGiK]

Wow, goal. Surprised they got it right. That will peeve off Bruin fans.

 

[Turin]

It’s too bad Carolina is doing so well on one hand, cause we’ll never get Staal back now.

 

[ColePens]

This is the speed we all saw in Keggers to think he could be a 4C with limited 3C shots. He legit is good in the playoffs here. This is the guy I thought we got.

 

[vodeni]

Gregg McKegg being better than most Penguins is proof that psychology is absolutely an important element in hockey lol

or maybe not stellar coaching or management decisions

 

[Clare2904]

f***ing Bruin pushed him into Rask so f*** off Boston

I’m convinced the Pens don’t know how to use players...everyone looks better when they leave...except Brassard...lol

 

[vodeni]

speed kills

 

[LOGiK]

I'm still a little in disbelief with him. It would seem the guy wants out of the nhl the way he plays.

 

[LOGiK]

I've never seen so many line changing close call issues than I have the past week.

 

[Turin]

Gregg McKegg was ass here. It is what it is. We see it happen the other way with guys like Gudbranson for example.

Member when they thought Grant was gritty?

 

[ColePens]

I’m convinced the Pens don’t know how to use players...everyone looks better when they leave...except Brassard...lol

I am seeing a little bit of an issue with guys who come to Pittsburgh and aren't given that free reign. Part of it is seeing 87, 71, 58, 81, etc and watching them do everything. But I want a bottom 6 of almost no namers who just go outt here and play their way.

Obviously not no-namers but guys who just give 0 f***s like McCann obviously. McCann, Rust, etc. That mentality of speed/tenacity/0 f***s given.

 

[Turin]

This is just being willfully negative. Gudbranson, Oleksiak, Hagelin, Sheary, Pettersson, Daley, McCann

This is another one of those “things every fan thinks is true about their team.”

1. Coach is stupid
2. Players always score their first goals against us
3. Backups always rob us
4. We always lose in the afternoon
5. Players who leave are always better elsewhere

 

[ColePens]

Canes speed is REALLY shining through in this 2nd period.

Lol...touché...probably true... I was exaggerating...

 

[Turin]

Definitely the closest Staal has looked to his 2012 self since then.

 

[Joejosh999]

Is there enough speed out West to beat the Bs?

 

[LOGiK]

HAH! Roenick is so pissed he has to deal with people screaming Lets go Canes in his ears.

 

[LOGiK]

Definitely the closest Staal has looked to his 2012 self since then.

How much does he play a game? He's on L1, PP1, PK1 and I'm sure if it was 4on4 he'd be out there and even on 5on3's.

I'm going to chec his minute.s

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Have you watched either the Blues or Sharks play during the playoffs?

 

[LOGiK]

Staal has 13:18 minutes so far, first amongst forwards, but 3 or so minutes behind the top D minutes. Carolina rocking basically 5 d men, Fluery only has 5 minutes toi.

 

[K Fleur]

I vaguely remember liking McKegg in his first game with the Pens. I remember nothing about anything he did in any other games as a Penguin.

It's cool seeing Staal playing in big games again.

 

[LOGiK]

Is there enough speed out West to beat the Bs?

May be enough speed in the metro to beat the B's.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Meh

 

[Turin]

I can’t muster any sympathy for that team ever.
