Post-Game Talk: BROKE! Pens lose 4-1 to juggernaut Devils

[BrunoPuntzJones]

This stretch is brutal. Make a change.

 

[Sivek]

If only we could play against Marek Mazanec every game we could score some goals.

He must feel like a bum.

This stretch is brutal. Make a change.

They did, scratched Vitale. If sitting your 12th forward in terms of TOI isn't change, then I don't know what is.

 

[Miss Ausguins]

I think if Shero doesn't fire Disco then Mario will.

DO IT MARIO!!!!!

 

[Shockmaster]

I think the Penguins need to go back to an ass-kicker for a head coach. The team is soft and continues to make the same mistakes over and over again.

 

[Kovifan27]

So if the lines were changed for the next game how many shifts until it is back to the standard?

Trot out new lines they don't score in 5 minutes than it's back to the same old ****.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Something has to be done to wake these guys up.

I've thought about what could be done.
Mario/Burkle firing DB and Shero is highly unlikely.
I've thought about firing the assistants Rierdon/Granato and hiring Laviolette.

DB/Lavi/Martin on your bench.
Hey, it's something.

Other than that, what kind of moves can Shero make?
Trade Niskanen? That won't do much.
Get a package together to try and land a bonafide top 6 winger?
That would be a start in the right direction.

 

[Sotty]

I can't wait for the hilarious excuses from Bob Grove in the post game show.

 

[wheelz87]

-bylsma. Clueless.
-Shero. Doesn't get enough hate for this train wreck of a roster. Bottom 6 has to be the worst in the NHL. We have one legit top 6 winger.

Why is bort not playing? Why is Megna in wbs? Is beau ever going to get an opportunity? How big of a turd is dags? Are jussi j and Sutter the 2 softest players in the NHL? Ect ect...

This team isn't even fun to watch anymore.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

+ I feel like we've really gotten closer during that joke.
+ I ate a good cookie.
+ They earned a result, yay for earning things.

- The team.
-- Crosby and Malkin. One of you throw a hissy fit.
--- Niskanen, 2.3M for that in case of injuries.
---- Orpik, when is he good?
----------- Dupuis, go the **** away.
--------------------- KCD still exists, ****.
----------------------------------------------------------- Bylsma, **** off you ****ing moron, eat **** and look smug. It's you, you're the biggest problem, you tool.

Less bads:
Bennett, not that he got rewarded
Maatta looked better
Letang was good until he went brain dead
Martin was solid in comparison
Neal was solid in comparison

 

[domaug*]

+ Devils

- Penguins

-- highest-paid players on the Penguins

 

[Zero Pucks]

I can't watch this crap anymore. If Shero doesn't change anything with this team this season, then I want him fired just as much as I want to see Bylsma canned.

 

[MrBurghundy]

So if the lines were changed for the next game how many shifts until it is back to the standard?

Trot out new lines they don't score in 5 minutes than it's back to the same old ****.

Lines are only part of the problem. It might help to change them up, but there is zero semblance of any offensive structure.

 

[Tumty]

+ Jagr
+ Brodeur
+ Devil's defense

- Penguins
-- Sid: Seriously, what's his deal?
--- Letang: Getting worse.
---- Bylsma: Props to putting some random combos out there as a break from the mind dumbing lines but jezuz crimminy do you need to be fired.

To sid part. Look at when that line try create something, dupuis kill it every ****ing time. He just cant do nothing with the puck. And opposition takes away Sid when we are going offensive zone

 

[KIRK]

This is January 2009 all over again.

I remember it. Late November 2008, Sid went cold. Geno still was playing well and it disguised a lot of **** for about a month. Then, the wheels came off for Geno. Pens played bad hockey for a stretch, 'righted' the ship to .500 hockey for a stretch, but had one night where they'd beat the Sharks and then come right out the next and look like **** against the Panthers.

We're watching the same thing now, except the wheels just started off for Geno. Sid disguised a lot of ****, and now the wheels have come off for him.

Ultimately, this team isn't rocket science. If Sid and Geno are going, then this team can beat anyone, including anyone in the playoffs.

If one of them is going, then it's a playoff team, maybe one that wins a round.

If neither are going, then the Pens are ****** (unless the other team plays its third string goalie).

More than anything, Bylsma's job should be evaluated on whether he gets the most that he possibly can out of Sid and Geno. He does it, except when both are healthy.

Forget bench management and system and all the other stupidity. Sid and Geno are train wrecks, and Bylsma refuses to do anything to change it. For God's sake, try SOMETHING you jack***.

**** it. If Dan Bylsma is the coach of the Pens in 24 hours, then Ray Shero should just fire himself, because it's the only way to undo the mess he's (and by 'he' I mean Shero) made of this team.

/psychopathic rant

 

[Sivek]

I honestly wish the Pens would have signed Jagr one of these past 3-5 seasons. His still solid at possessing the puck and being a productive player. This is the first time I've felt like this in years.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Fleury with another crap game. Any high percentage shot is in on him.

 

[Dangles78]

 

[vodeni]

I can't wait for the hilarious excuses from Bob Grove in the post game show.

Mike Lange and ol'29er already started.....

 

[Vega]

I don't wanna hear about his effort. Malkin is making nearly 9 million. He needs to score some goals.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Oh and here's this...

 

[Penguinzilla*]

I just had an idea. Why don't they take the player with no hands, no skill, no hockey sense, and no ability to do anything, off of Crosby's wing. Just a thought. It may not be a good idea though.

[Sotty]

BREAKING NEWS: Shero just announced that Bylsma got another contract extension for his outstanding work.

 

[KIRK]

Wouldn't it be cool if at the next pre game video the Pens incorporated the words WASH, RINSE, REPEAT and then gave us the relevant scenes? Not as if it would be too hard to put it together.

 

[pensfansince88]

DB is not getting fired. No way Shero would ever fire his Team USA coach
