Post-Game Talk: Bruins 4, Penguins 3 - Roster is Fine, They Just Need to Do More and Try Harder

[KIRK]

EDIT: I'm just thankful the Pens didn't play the Lightnight tonight with all the high percentage chances Boston had, the reasons for which will become readily apparent tomorrow.

Kris has cost this team an awful lot of points so far this season.
A lesser name would've spent time in the press-box already.

How bad will the Tampa game be tomorrow?

 

[ncm7772]

Team is butt right now. Really frustrating to watch. Maybe then can keep it within 4 tomorrow night.

 

[deakka]

If (when) we lose tomrrowm we will probably be out of a playoff spot. maybe JRs patience will be tested then.

Still think they'll keep it within 6.

 

[Freedom]

Letang was there

 

[Extra Texture]

We're swiftly headed to "closed door meeting" territory. More than another roster move, I think new WBS blood is needed in the roster, badly.

Not really sure what he can do. I mean, the effort by this team is just trash.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Wake 'em up with a big move, imo.

This isn't fixing itself. JR's gotta step in before this team puts itself in a position it can't get out of.

That would require a leader. Which the team does not have.

 

[Pens x]

They needed to win today with Tampa in town tomorrow. Boston had injuries to their good players as well. Bad loss.

We might be out tonight if Caps lose in OT and NYR win.

Roster and effort problems are not mutually exclusive.

 

[PensandCaps]

Not gonna worry about losses that happen without malkin. But one thing is clear. The whole bottom sux needs to go aside from Rust and needs to be replacedc with youth and speed from WBS and Archiald. Tired of Rowney,Reaves and McGregg.

 

[Whakahere]

We will win tomorrow and all will be forgotten soon enough. You see even after tonight you can see we are just meant to be doing a 3 peat. look at our come back, thing of beauty. Did you see letangs hair?

Sadly this isn't the rose coloured reddit board, and soon reality will sink in.

 

[larueskee]

The roster was fine? I continue to see two dudes who put up minuses every night in Dumo and Letang. Sorry getting a assist on a powerplay goal isn't going to endear you to the folks picking all stars or handing out awards.

 

[PensandCaps]

That would require a leader. Which the team does not have.

Uhh. Malkin....

 

[Speaking Moistly]

+ I didn’t watch

Pick a few players to gtfo for the next game.

 

[Ryder71]

You can't play in spurts and expect to win. We did some good things in the final two periods, but too many turnovers and bad decision making in our end and through the neutral zone did us in.

Clearly the sarcasm went over your head . . .

+ Sid kind of showed a pulse in the 3rd.
+ Letang's hair.

- Letang's game.

 

[StaalForOne]

Sheary Crosby Hornqvist is so frustrating to watch.

Kessel is probably the only Penguin forward who has been a net positive this season, although Sid is starting to show some signs of life.

 

[Ryder71]

Fundamentally we're just not sharp. We either over pursue and get caught out of position, or we're a step behind. In either case we just look out of sorts for large segments of games.

 

[ncm7772]

If there's any silver lining to they debacle, is Sid looked like Sid at times.
