Post-Game Talk: Bruins 4, Pens 3 - SCR Combined Corsi < 100

[KIRK]

Pens PP didn't miss Malkin. 3 of 5 with him this year against Boston. 1 of 5 with 1 shorty against without.

EDIT: Hagelin and Cole are the only Pens with Corsi numbers over 50%. Yikes.

This game...

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Come back Geno.
Come back Letang.
Come back Cullen.
**** off refs.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Awful shorty cost us the game.

 

[SEALBound]

Injuries played a role, yes but the boys sure made it easy on the Bruins to win this one.

Kunitz-Jake-Horny were the only ones that showed anything.

Dmen were all awful.

Puck management was terrible.

Refs were a joke.

Couldn't hold the blueline to save their lives.

Not much of anything to like about this game.

 

[BHD]

Some pushback in the third, but not enough.

The lines are a mess and the D still have their moments. Ignoring the absence of Malkin, the lines looked like they no clue out there.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Sullivan has been very questionable this season. The team has looked bad too often and he is riding lines that have been terrible for weeks.

Sully needs to wake the **** up.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Is this our final game before the ASG???

 

[Penske]

This game...

Did Mark Hamill and Chucky have a child?

 

[TheSniper26]

Wow, the agendas are really out in full force tonight. Jesus.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Is this our final game before the ASG???

Yes. Next game is Tues. vs NSH.

Top 6 Corsi Numbers:

Guentzel - 21%
Sheary - 25%
Wilson - 25%
Horny - 28%
Rust - 32%
Sid - 33%

And that's with all of them having 50% or better zone starts

 

[HuskerTornado]

Ugly again, often just listless out there.

Rust does not work on Crosby's wing. Not sure why this is still happening.

HBK isn't working this season. Separate them and try it again for a game or two in March. For now, they need to be away from each other.

Wow, the agendas are really out in full force tonight. Jesus.

Is it an agenda to not like SCR or to mock the one poster here who insisted the PP is better off without Geno? Just trying to keep track . . .

I'm just going to forget the last 3 hours

It won't hold up in court

No Geno on the PP?

 

[WayneSid9987]

I mean, you expect to have struggles minus G, Tang and Cullen but whoever said Sully isn't doing his job is correct.

SCR + HBK takes 2 lines totally out of the game before you even drop the puck every night.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Yes. Next game is Tues. vs NSH.

Ok cool.

 

[CertifiedLurker]

Sullivan has been very questionable this season. The team has looked bad too often and he is riding lines that have been terrible for weeks.

Sully needs to wake the **** up.

Seriously, I used to think he followed some analytics because of how amazing the team was last year analytically. I thought it was by design but these lines are making me think otherwise.

 

[Peat]

Wonder what happens if we don't give up that cheap goal on our own power play. Was that all Sheary or was there a dumb line change as well? I asked because it feels like we've conceded a few on bad line changes this season.

I don't wanna get too over the top because Sullivan's fixed it every time things have looked janked up so far but, well, this looks janked up. Sheary-Crosby-Rust doesn't get it done. Kessel is seemingly incapable of driving play on his line and Bonino is seemingly incapable of playing at an NHL standard. I don't know how you change this team up but something has gotta give, particularly once we get Geno back.

If Crosby with Horny isn't going to be a thing, can we go get a version of Horny he will play with?

 

[MtlPenFan]

Don't blame the refs, blah, blah, blah,...

But there are games where these guys have a direct result in the outcome, and thus game was one of them.

 

[vodeni]

boy these guys on post game show, they used word desperate must be 40 times by now...

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Did Mark Hamill and Chucky have a child?

Nope, just Jack Black.
