Around the NHL - The dog days of the season

[BHD]

Terrible sequence all around. Brutal game from Orlov too.

 

[LOGiK]

Call me crazy, but I'd rather hockey games be 7-5 5-4 whatever more often. Super exciting.

Orlov with his JJ's impersonation.

Rule #1 as a dman defending - eyes on the players chest, not the puck. His head was down staring at the puck.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Wait, the Penguins are playing the Blackhawks again?

Oh **** that’s the Capitals.

Capt. Intangibles has a hatty and 2 helpers.

 

[ColePens]

Oshie has fanned like 5 1 timers in this game. I've never seen him miss that many.

 

[ColePens]

Remember a time where Ovy's hook was a legit play in 90s hockey and Mario would just skate right through it like a superhero?

 

[LOGiK]

Good for them the dirty rotten bastards.
Hope for many more loses.

Caps are sliding right now, and Pens have failed to take advantage, frustrating...

 

[Gurglesons]

How could the almighty Caps lose to the Hawks?!?!

 

[Gurglesons]

Caps are sliding right now, and Pens have failed to take advantage, frustrating...

Or maybe they did by going on a winning streak and still are within striking distance.

Beyond mind numbing to read a post like FM's and then you look at the Pens record in the last 20. Jesus.

Relax guys, no need for hyperbole, its more of an observation of the past week.

Not to be hard on you, but it's not an observation. It's just a way to take a negative outlook on something that has been positive.

It's been a semi-ugly road trip, but with the injuries and who knows what else-its... it could be way way worse. Most all the teams we need to lose, lost. so For once, we always say nobody helps us, well, this last week they have been.
It's been rough for everyone the last few games (Metro)

Looks like the Pens aren't the only team that has things to work on. The Caps were a mess a defensively and (at times) too cute offensively.

lost 8:5 today (all five goals from their d-man)

 

[Andy99]

Damn, could someone stop the Isles please?

Yeah, all of their defensemen are thriving (offensively at least) under him. Defensively, though... yikes.

LA we should’ve won.

In my opinion Vegas and San Jose are the best teams in the West and we played loosey goose hockey and had Desmith in 2 of 3.

 

[BHD]

So far-fatched thought... The Hawks are currently 8 points away from the last wildcard. Do you think they could make a run if Colliton plays his top lines like crazy?

 

[Gurglesons]

Damn, could someone stop the Isles please?

They’re the Colorado Avalanche of this year with a weaker top line.

They’ll get exposed when a team actually game plans against them in a seven game series just like Trotz’s teams in Nash used to.

I know that if the Pens are going to lose, I certainly have more fun watching them lose 7-5 than 3-1. Both result in a loss, but lack of offense frustrates me. At least in the 7-5 loss I got to cheer about something 5 times that night. Nothing worse (for me) than seeing my team lose AND having next to nothing to even cheer about the entire game.

exactly. more fun for everyone. I'm a spectator I dont care about more than having a good time watching.

Pens can’t even lose right!!!!!!!
