This team has too many underperforming players and too many offensively incompetent players. You can survive with underperforming players if you have good depth. You can survive with bad depth if your star players are playing well. You won't win a thing if you have neither.

- Letang is special
- You can never get enough Kuhn in a game
- Phil is playing well this year, but he's pretty pedestrian 5 on 5 without Geno
- There are no collection of adjectives that can sufficiently capture just how god awful this team is 5 on 5
- Murray deserves better

I’m glad Jake scored two. Regardless of where they were. He needed that.

I liked how we played. Especially without Geno. The Nucks were just luckier. Oh well, good game.

What a terrible image.
It's hard to even start talking about this game...
Ignore the third because VAN let up on them after being up three goals. Pens played better but it's hard to assess
They are just a bad team. Our underachieving players Sid and Letang still are not playing well
We can't buy a goal...poor PDO killed the Kings last year too and they missed the playoffs. No sure thing...
Hopefully the players get pissed and it spurs them on
Edit...worst of it is they are just boring to watch...really

As I've said, last year, Sid and Geno just kind of willed so much to happen, especially early in the season, that it never looked like this, even when a lot of guys were in cruise control. So, now, you're combining Sid and Geno not being able to do that again, at least not this early in the season, with a crap bottom six and a little less collectively from the goaltending in terms of stealing games . . . I just keep going back to thinking the ball ultimately may be in JR's court this time where adding a better 3C (a Huala type) and tinkering at the margins won't be enough.

Yeah, the Penguins are either being stubborn with Sprong or there's something else going on there with him. It doesn't make sense for a team who's struggling to score goals to keep a prolific goal scoring prospect in the AHL. The Penguins have 4 of the exact same player on the roster in Archibald, McKegg, Rowney and Kuhnhackl. Do you really need all 4 of those guys on the roster?

I like the narrative how their goalie is 6 6, wait our goalie is also 6 6 or something like that

What happened to Rust? Did he fall off a cliff? He's being buried somewhere where he has zero impact on the game....
