Post-Game Talk: Bolts 6, Pens 3: Sid and His AHL All Star Team Come Up Sheary

[KIRK]

They played with passion, but even if Fleury played great, the talent disparity is just too much for Sid to overcome.

Save one play, Kessel was ****. Letang was in full spaz mode. With Fleury channeling his inner Zatkoff, it's just too much to ask of Sid to cover for all of them AND Geno's absence. He's a god, but only THE hockey god could pull that off.

+ Sid
+ Hornqvist
1/2+ Zatkoff
= Daley/Dumo/Maatta


- errrrone else.

Free Plots!

This is on Sullivan and Fleury, stupid decision making throughout the game and whatever MAF has been doing since the break. Kunitz is pathetic 99% of the time and gets rewarded for it.

Letang was bad Letang, which is exactly what they don't need with Fleury sucking and Malkin broken.

Pretty much my thoughts. Unless Kessel gets hot we're a one line team with Geno out. The bottom six is atrocious.

Hold on. Pouliot took a tremendous step forward. Sundqvist was probably the best of the AHL lot up front . . . it's not saying much, but he didn't hurt the team. Rust didn't hurt anyone.

Oh, and Kunitz is dog excrement.

 

[vodeni]

they were buzzing first 15 minutes, but one could tell that other than our legit NHLers none of these scrubs from AHL would score if they played all night long. Other than Rust there is no NHL player there

If Fleury played great Pens win this one.


You need your goaltender to make big saves and unfortunately that is not Fleury's style in the new year.

At this point it would be pretty ridiculous if he doesn't play tomorrow. Our AHL fodder was all bad tonight except for Rust.

And well Sunny looked okay at times but he was clearly in over his head.

Sundqvist fell down like 3 times in the 3rd period with no one within 10 feet of him.

I'll give him a = for the entertainment.

Rust isn't bad, you're right.

HE STILL GETS A MINUS

I thought pouliot had a pretty good game

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

+ Sid, Hornqvist
= Sundqvist/Kuhn/Rust line
- Fleury, Kunitz, Kessel, Hagelin, Sullivan

 

[IcedCapp]

Fleury didn't even need to play great. He HAS to stop goal #4.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Awful:
MAF
Porter
Kunitz (except for 2 passes)
Phil (except for 1 pass)
Letang
and a little Maatta.

Good:
Sid
Daley
Pooh
Cullen
and i'll give Sundqvist a Good as well for his first NHL game.

Everyone else was just decent.

 

[hooverdam]

Pouliot was good and should have been on the powerplay. WBS was okay but were never going to be the difference in a come from behind game.

Sullivan was a moron. That is all.

 

[vodeni]

as far as Sundquist goes....not impressed not at all

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Pouliot was good for the most part, but he's scared of getting hit.

 

[#1GuinFan]

REJOICE: Lovejoy with the least amount of icetime among defensemen.

I liked O.S. tonight, he's got longterm potential.
Cullen has got to be one of the best bang for buck players in the league (disregarding that -3 tonight)

 

[Speaking Moistly]

They need to call up Murray. Fleury is doing this **** and Zatkoff is Zatkoff... a goalie who spends a lot of time with his ass facing the play.

 

[Jacob]

+ Rust, Crosby, Pouliot, Hornqvist

- Kessel, Kunitz, Fleury, Letang

 

[vodeni]

insisting on kunitz on PP or sheary on second pp that could be Sully's demise

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

as far as Sundquist goes....not impressed not at all

He's going to end up as a 3rd/4th line center. If you expected him to come in and play like Panarin, you're gonna be disappointed.

He and his line weren't a defensive liability and controlled the puck in the offensive zone for a good amount of time on several different shifts. That's fine by me.

 

[WayneSid9987]

I guess i'll add Hags to the awful list with "a little Hags" much like Maatta.

 

[Asuna]

The PP management was horrid tonight.

 

[StaalForOne]

Maatta looked a little faster out there tonight.

Didn't hate the kids line either: Kuhn/Sundy/Rust. A little sloppy at times, but there were some positives there.

+Sid, no brainer

So many minuses to Kessel. Had one or two good shots, and the nice pass to Cullen on his goal (Also a + to Hags for his part in that goal, driving Sustr to the net and freeing Cullen up). Outside of that, his game annoyed me tonight. Same soft play, which is fine, but not if you're going to miss the net all night. Except when you're not turning it over. He has a touch of blue line phobia too I think. Causes a lot of off sides, and a close call on the Cullen goal as well.
