Post-Game Talk: Bipolar Panthers crush Pens 4-1, move back into playoff spot

[Boothinator]

Great team effort - Suprise - ends up as a win

Played really well as a 5 man unit. Had some defensive breakdowns but it was alright. Matheson and Ek looks so much better

IIRC, Brown hat to cover for Yandle twice.. What an idiot.

Stillman looks even better every game. Let's just hope Weegar comes back soon.

Hawk has to stay in the lineup. Didn't notice him much except a few hits but better than being on the bench


OH and Driedger, what a calm game by him! Love it. Start him again!

The collapse will be juicy.

Good call

I wonder why they seem to play better when Bob isn't in net. If Q changes his system for the backup, maybe it should apply that when Bob is in net as well.

How you get dick slapped by the Sabres then dick slap the Pens is beyond me

Amazing what a competent goalie does for the team.

Nope we didn’t do much different than a lot of games. The shots thru traffic and deflected dreidger saved and bob simply doesn’t. The couple dangerous chances were also stopped. The team is t deflated and chasing goals like they do when bob is in net due to letting in basic shots. Quite simple. It’s not
Like they gave up nothing today

**** me we just need a save at some point.

Yup totally on d. A perfectly saveabke wrister from an average goal scorer. God forbid we ever give up a scoring chance. Pathetic

this applies as well.

I don't think they were that good defensively.

They let few 2 on 1 and breakaways. But something strange happened...the guy with the mask made saves...

Revenge for all the times Bob beat us

Honorable mention for finally understanding the topic of conversation.

I wish Barkov would understand, you don't have to look to pass the puck to a teammate as soon as you touch it.

I think he views it as him being a good captain. He needs to play like a superstar, not a captain.

 

[LastOfADyingBeard]

good 60 minute effort tonight. now I will watch it again early early getting ready for my workday

We definitely gave up some chances, but the main difference I noticed was that we collected the puck and moved it out of our zone quickly and efficiently. We didn’t get hemmed in our zone very often at all, which is usually what sewers us.

On the offensive side, we retained possession and put them under pressure pretty frequently, didn’t make it easy for them, that’s for sure.

Yandle was on the ice I think on both occasions. He's been terrible defensively.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

On the positive side, Math looked solid again.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I think you have to start Driedger Tuesday.

 

[KW]

I’m suspending my criticisms (mostly) for an hour to enjoy this.

Looks like the hour’s up.

Hasn’t he been responsible for the new hockey term yandle it up?

Bingo in fact we gave up more high dancer and low danger than against buff. Had a higher expected goals against as well.

 

[MintyFresh88]

3 tough games this week. We’ll need him to start at least 1 game for sure, interested to see what they decide to do.

Gotta move him while he still has value imo. He's playing bottom pairing minutes outside the PP, he's way too expensive to be utilized like that.
