Post-Game Talk: Capitals 5, Penguins 3: And Now We Wait on the Mad Hatter

[ronduguayshair]

Soooo...Sid isn’t right physically. Do we go all in with him, or do we stack Malkin’s line and treat him as 1A? This is a non-traditional team, and it’s a non-traditional year. It might be time to make a bold move, and play your best guy like you mean it. He might be able to carry you to a Cup. Just saying.

why do you say there’s issues with Crosby?

 

[KIRK]

If only Malkin hadn't dropped the gloves with Dillon at the end of the first, the Pens would've won ten bazillion to one.

 

[BHD]

Pettersson before the Vrana goal... yikes.

 

[BHD]

Finished watching the highlights. Pete has got to be better. Jeez...

it was a dumb penalty. Missed the power play and 7:30 of the second. Love is blind.


sometimes I don’t think u get it. But if you keep reading my posts maybe you will eventually. Go pens (not just one player)!

Dude. You routinely mock Malkin for stupid/lazy defensive play but Crosby has been horrific defensively since he returned.

Yeah, but #RussianManBad.

Understand?

did you read the whole post I was responding too? The issue referred to was a health issue. That’s quite a claim.

then you went all Crosby vs Malkin. You get distracted by shiny objects (my analysis).

Yeah I watched them too, WTF Petts??? those first 2 on MM was because of him.

Dumb is dumb in any language, any culture, any race.


I take offense you keep pushing the narrative I hate Russians. Grow up.

 

[Gallatin]

What is this, DK's idiotic paywall site?

Murray's not an alcoholic, you dumbos. He's just a young goalie that either needs a change of scenery or just plain isn't very good. No need to drag the dude through the mud because you're bored and/or petty.

Can't believe I even mentioned it today....

I'm sorry, I only understand sequences of memes.

Could you try again?

You can't see your feet. My hypothesis.

 

[LOGiK]

Capitals just traded for KOVALCHUK!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh

my season tickets are Row A upper level. Someone suffering from obesity would have a really hard time getting to them.

I hope when you look in the mirror you like what you see.

let’s stick to the game.

Edit: just dropping this post. It wasn't needed.

Have a good week, Rondu. Go Pens.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I can only imagine who some of these replies are going to because I have several people ignored. Judging by the convos, I'd rather not know. Yikes.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

I'm so glad this is happening before the deadline even if it is impossible for JR to fix it. I hope he goes insane

 

[BrookswasHere44]

UMMMMM they traded Maatta & got Kahun! go back to fanboying about you all universe wr

And turn around and lock ourselves into Petts sooooooo frustrating!!!

 

[Gallatin]

@Big Friggin Dummy @KIRK I promise to stop on this one, dudes. There will be new shiny objects abound tomorrow.

Can't believe that guy is wearing my old handle from the other board....

 

[LOGiK]

Or the goal with Trotman standing in front of MM not actively taking his man and getting pushed out of the way.
Trotman 6'2 220 piece of trash.

 

[wgknestrick]

why do you say there’s issues with Crosby?

Because it's been a high danger shot, shooting gallery against our goalies when he's been on the ice.
Chucky's was absolutely terrible this year and his defence graph is only +2% threat relative to average. Crosby is nearly worst in the entire NHL at allowing close shots against. Athanasiou has around the same chart as Crosby (+13%) and he's a -45

 

[ChaosAgent]

And turn around and lock ourselves into Petts sooooooo frustrating!!!

The only thing I like about that deal at this point is business ethics. You make a handshake deal, you honor it. I want my organization and GM to abide by that.

But it is frustrating because we really had the opportunity to build a stacked top-4 with 2 #1 pairs if we were willing to move Petts and not get exploited by Bill Guerin (imagine that for a minute) and pay double-price for Zucker. I'm sorry but the more I think about what we paid for Zucker vs. Perron, the more I think that Addison should have been off the table.

He is not piece of trash. No one playing for our entertainment is piece of trash. he is a solid AHL player who was giving a role to play over 12 minutes against one of the most explosive teams in NHL. I watched him closely, he had more good plays than bad plays tonight, he wasn't at his best for that goal, but its not like other five Penguins defensamn do better job in the crease, asctually they all suck...Letang and JJ can't even make it in the crease to busy chasing each other behind the goal...

Please read the original post where it was inferring Crosby has health issues. That’s what I was questioning.

But thanks for the pictures. It looks like Sidney Crosby is a bad player.

We just need to get to our game.
