Post-Game Talk: Cole's Minus/Minus Thread: The Pens duck a win to continue their impressive streak!

[Human]

Typical bottom player outrage by the posters here. Totally misguided

When two of your best players suck you lose.

turnover Letang. Flyby, selfish penalty Malkin.

you also lose when one of your Dman scores two times on you...

Trotman is a defenseman who can fill in for a game or two. He's being utilized way over his skill level right now.

and i would love to know why? so we could be done with all this speculation.

Sheary has been fine.
We all knew this would happen with Rust.

NO Sheary has NOT been fine he is on the top line & is invisible except for his falling down drunk act

Geno excuse train has come to town yet again.

I have never commented about Malkin performance in that game as a whole. I commented about that one situation where I believe your assessment is wrong. Maybe it would be more conductive to discussion if you explained why do you think it was turnover instead of personal attacks.

Rondu is one-note. Well, 1.3 if you count Letang.

Having said that Geno was disgraceful yesterday so today's a good day for him.

I don't really have much confidence in either Murray or Jarry right now. Both Murray and Jarry have almost identical stat lines in 2020 so far, with Murray being 6-4-1 with a .911 save% and Jarry being 7-5-1 with a .912 save%. Neither is playing "bad" right now, but they're just playing fine. I don't have confidence in this team having success in the playoffs if either goalie is just playing fine.

You can be getting way worse goaltending than just average play that the Penguins have been getting recently, but its' still really concerning to see. The early season play of both of these guys has worn off, but now both are just playing alright.

As with most things regarding this team, I'd hold off making definitive judgments until after Marino and Dumoulin have returned.

Both have fallen back to Earth.

I don't think the every-other-game platoon is helping/working at this point either.

Agreed. I’d rather he pick one and go with it. Make it 2/3 starts or 3/4, even. Neither are out of this world right now, nor are either bad.

You're preaching to the choir bud

sorry didn't puck up the sarcasm earlier, my bad...
