that 5 on 3 was so bad, we had a minute and half and i can't remember one big save that Ward had to make...

I don’t really think it is humbling. Pens just need to regroup. We played a good game aside from our stars making poor decisions. Been a theme all season. Malkin, Crosby, Letang and Kessel have lost us at least 5 games.
I’m not criticizing them, but it is frustrating.

six attempted shots in third, six attempted shots, they just gave up...

The turning point is not their fault. That was the call against Letang late in the 2nd that lead to the Strome goal.
That's deflating when you have a pretty good clip at owning play to have it given away due to poor calls. You gave them life when they really had none, and all they had to do was play less than 19 minutes with a lead, hold, interfere and take away space.
You don't like my view. That's what happen. It was taken away.

Or the Hawks tightened up and got away with a ****load of interference...your choice...
Special teams were horrendous. That last goal Maatta and Rust both shit the bed with not making easy clears.
Such a great start to to the game too. I was confident things would be different but blowing that 5 on 3 chance was a bad omen. They didn't even threat to tie it during the last part of the game.
Start another winning streak.

We were abysmal on special teams tonight. We got hemmed in and made bad decisions with the puck. It's not the end of the world, but again IMO anyhow, pretty humbling when we cannot beat a team that's fighting for last in the league. I know the Hawks the majority of the time over the last five years were very good, but so were we. And 10 straight times they beat us. It's disgusting, it really is!
Alrighty then? Let’s not jump over a cliff. Pens will be fine and we win this game easily with Murray in net. After losing to the Hawks 9 in a row you think you would put your starter in? Just didn’t have a good feeling even before the game started when I saw it was DeSmith starting. Now 10 in a row! Pens should be embarrassed. Don’t agree with about the team though. We have a great team but an off night But had the better chances just poor goaltending from DeSmith. DeSmith is a good backup and has had a great first half but the way Murray is playing he should be starting 4 out of 5 games.

that would have required the pens actually take a shot and not try to pass up every good look they had. then geno gets pissy and throws one right tin to ward's chest to kill it off.

Hey man I was hoping they'd top the 17 game streak from 1993. But then I saw Chicago on the schedule a few days ago and started mentally preparing for today.

Hawks have a solid powerplay the last ten games and aren’t as bad as their record reflects. Crawford basically being injured out of the league destroys them.
This idea that the Hawks outplayed us tonight is just bizarre.

Big fat minus to the special teams.
3 goals against and notta with one 5on3.
Dunno why the energy waned as the game went along?
The execution/effort in the 3rd was awful.
Bah well, lose to CHI, win the Cup. C'est la vie.
ETA: The best pairing 5on5 was MP-JJ btw. Our 1st pair was our worst with 24(Letang) and 21(Dumo) shots/attempts against.

Well, they’re going to need CDS to be confident and solid for the upcoming road trip...they play two b2bs....I think Sully playing him backfired but it wasn’t the wrong decision...I also dont want to overplay injury-prone Murray...I’d rather lose to the West than the Eastern teams...it’s very important now that we beat FLA and stay in PO position...

I didn't say anything about outplaying us. But they were more opportunistic and for whatever reason on 10 straight occasions we lost. It's beyond ridiculous at this point. Thank God we won't see them in the playoffs!

Lol why would one team respect another and just let them win based on that???? What a strange concept.

That’s part of the frustrating part of the loss. They needed the 8 game streak just to claw back into PO contentions because of their shitty start and of course they had to lose while the Caps won...
I was actually shocked because I didn't catch the game until 10 min in the 1st. I didn't really understand what Sullivan was thinking unless he was ok with losing to chicago.

I dunno...it maybe he just wanted CDS to get some work and since we’ve had problems with CHI, he thought it would be a bigger confidence boost to Murray to play him against FLA...who knows..
