Post-Game Talk: Bruins 2, Penguins 1 (OT) - And So It Goes

[Shady Machine]

How about different line configurations? Brassard isn't gonna thrive with those linemates. Not gonna happen.

He’s tried nearly everything.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Sprong 4 minutes.

Sully should be fired tonight with Recchi. Not over Sprong, over his arrogant ignorance.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Can I get some Warm Cookies?

Warm Cookies is dead

Long live Soggy Biscuit

 

[ColePens]

Bottom 6 again. Absolutely nothing for this team. It's all on the shoulders of the top 2 lines. It's brutal.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Please tell me what you would have done that would led to a different result.

I don't have time to have a back and forth with you about this.

 

[KIRK]

If they cant play .500 hockey over the next ten games, they basically eliminate themselves from playoff contention.

The good news is that they played .500 hockey tonight.

The bad news is that this was against a depleted team, and Horny may be hurt.

Columbus
at Winnipeg
at Colorado
Philly
Colorado
NY Islanders
at Ottawa
at NY Islanders
at Chicago
Boston

I'm not sure that I like our chances, but that may be only because I'm not sure we get a point in the next 5.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

He’s tried nearly everything.

Agreed nothing more he can do

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I have just one thing to say.

We just need to get to our game.

 

[canadianguy77]

Yeah, because Kessel and Malkin are standing above the faceoff circles with their sticks at their waists like Sprong.

Your schtick is getting tired. Come up with something new please.

 

[KIRK]

Bottom 6 again. Absolutely nothing for this team. It's all on the shoulders of the top 2 lines. It's brutal.

It's on the shoulders of the top 6 with less help from the blueline than there's EVER been in the entire Sid/Geno era.

 

[treeni12]

one good defence man won't be enough

 

[AuroraBorealis]

You’re up JR. Roster just isn’t good enough. They played hard but just don’t have it.

He made one good move with Pearson (hopefully). Friedman reported he tried to get Montour but got shut down.

 

[Rocket of Russia]

I'm not seeing how that's Dumo's fault. He won two separate battles by removing Boston forwards from the puck for enough time for the other two Penguins forwards to make some kind of play on the puck. Phil and Geno are out there like they just went coast to coast 3 straight times and couldn't be bothered to make a play.

 

[ncm7772]

Dumo turned over the puck LATE in the shift.

It was Dumo's guy who scored the goal.

That said, it's a sorry statement for the Pens that Dumo is the 2nd defenseman off the bench for 3 on 3.

Phil and Geno are more to blame for that goal.

 

[The Old Master]

with 3 rw's hurt and back to back games does sprong get a regular shift with more than 5 min. toi ?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Your schtick is getting tired. Come up with something new please.

Nothing more can be done just shrug your shoulders and wait for a trade

 

[Bingo71]

We couldn't beat the Bruins with all their rash of injuries?

But we sure as hell can beat ourselves!!!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Chinese TakeOut wasn't taken man....

 

[domaug]

this team is not going very far as it is.

yeah JR made some great trades, but he also signed Jack Johnson for 5 years.

i doubt he can right the ship this year. still time and they can get white hot, but that's the only thing that will get them to where they thought they'd be.

 

[DegenX]

I have just one thing to say.

We just need to get to our game.

[vodeni]

Please tell me what you would have done that would led to a different result.

I'd do a few different things, I'd never ever play Kessel with Malkin, he is killing Malkin's great effort and game, thats number one, he should have put either rust or Sprong on that RW, also, He should not play Sheahan, he should have Simon Brass Kessel third line, that would make a whole a lot of difference

 

[KIRK]

Yeah, because Kessel and Malkin are standing above the faceoff circles with their sticks at their waists like Sprong.

I'm not going to excuse Phil, but Geno has to worry about both the guy who beat Phil coming out with the puck and the guy he passed to. That's why Geno was where he was.

Then again, none of this happens if Dumo isn't Jack Johnson stupid, because that is EXACTLY what that stretch pass late in a 3 on 3 shift was.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Got a point. So.... Progress?

 

[Ryder71]

He’s tried nearly everything.

Except give Brass a high end winger. I said this after last game that one of Kessel, Horny or Guentzel needs to play with Brassard. We need contributions beyond the top six.

 

[TNT87]

Jarry was solid.

Sprong will be fresh for tomorrow's game...
