Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Game 1 Pens vs. Isles - The Maatta Special!

[ColePens]

++++ Bjugs/Kessel/Simon: Awesome line all game. Produced, got momentum, and played very well. Fantastic 3rd line.

+++ G/McCann: They ended up having a monster monster monster 30 minutes. Great dishes and great point blank chances. If they can keep it up, they have a good chance of winning this series.

+ 5 on 5: Thought the Pens outplayed the Isles in this game so that is encouraging.

+ Schultz and Dumo: It wasn't pretty but I thought both guys played well. It took Dumo a full period to get back to himself but he was good the rest of the game.


------- Maatta: It's beaten to death. I sat here and said JJ should get a jersey over Olli. Any questions as to why?

----- Sid's line: Pathetic. Owned the entire game and Rusty looked bad.

- 4th line: Dad can't do it all by himself. ZAR was rusty and Wilson is not a good hockey player at all.

Yikes

I want every single person here who defended Maatta and stated he should play over JJ to man the F up and admit how you were dead wrong.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed. It's amazing that even going in with low expectations, just because of what you've seen on the year, you still come out of games thinking "I hate this team".

I really hope this is the last game I ever have to see Maatta in the Penguins uniform, but it won't be.

Letang blew the game... turnover and lazy backcheck. Typical.

 

[flaneur]

sigh

did crosby catch that flu that has been going around the league? he looked... off

 

[BlackAndGold87]

Yikes. They deserved this loss.

 

[turd]

That’s about as bad as I’ve seen Crosby play in a big game. Weird.

And Maatta is just absolute f***ing garbage.

 

[tom_servo]

Better to lose like that than how we were expecting early on. That said, damn did he have a lot of room there.

Hope Sully shakes up the lineup Friday night.

 

[K Fleur]

Rust doesn’t work on line 1. Atleast not as well as McCann does.

 

[Night Shift]

Attaining a 7th round pick for Maatta. We have to add.

 

[Hank Plank]

Letang is literally solely responsible for that goal. What a f***ing moron.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Letang made a bad play. Letang is also our best dman.

 

[froods]

Maatta, Letang, Dumo - barf

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Line 1 sucked

Their forecheck killed us

D sucked

We still pushed them to OT and could have won despite them playing their best game.

Sit Maatta, make breakout adjustments and have L1 show up and we got this.

- Maatta. What the hell was that.
- Letang. What the hell was that.

 

[tread102]

I hate letang. Such a dumb player. Wtf is he doing there

 

[SEALBound]

That was an embarrassing wake up call.

There's no one player that's more to blame than anyone else. Everyone flat out sucked.

Sid should be embarrassed.

 

[TNT87]

First line no showed and unfortunately Maatta did.

Make some f***ing changes Sully
