Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Pens vs. Flyers - How to embarrass your way to 2 points

[ColePens]

If Murray can maintain a .980 sv% the rest of the way, we might just have a chance.

At least you made me laugh tonight.

 

[USMC607]

50 saves by Murray.
1 Goal.

That's all.

There is so much good about that stat line and so so much bad.

 

[Corvidae]

Good rope-a-dope, flawless execution. Even lulled them into a false sense of hope taking a 5 minute penality with 5 minutes left.

 

[Hank Plank]

Only out shot 2:1 don't know why people are flipping out.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

WTF, Geno...

 

[end]

Sidney Crosby is now 50th in all time points in the National Hockey League.

 

[cassius]

+ Murray - absolute STUD... lol Sullivan started Desmith over him? Hah
+ Letang getting the record
+ Sid being Sid

- Drama queens around here

Take a look ya'll.

 

[PensandCaps]

Can't let them get rough and get away with it.

Good for Malkin.

 

[Shady Machine]

Raffl punched Geno in the back of head, which is dangerous, but no excuse to whip your stick like that. Dirty play with potential serious injury. He should probably be suspended.

 

[ronduguayshair]

Malkin is not committed to playing winning hockey. Thank god their power play was off.

Jack Johnson reeled it in after having a brutal first half of the game.

 

[Nakawick]

2nd periods we have been getting slaughtered possession wise

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Sidney Crosby is now 50th in all time points in the National Hockey League.

He got 3 tonight

 

[ronduguayshair]

Can't let them get rough and get away with it.

Good for Malkin.

Terrible post

 

[ncm7772]

Malkin gone AT LEAST 10.

 

[domaug]

Nah good for Geno for sticking up himself. Flyers were doing dirty **** all game.

Raffl with a swing at Malkin's head. **** him he deserved Malkin swinging his stick at him.

A joke that he wasn't penalised aswell.

now, i don't feel an ounce of sympathy for this Flyers team. they were playing cheap all game, aka "Flyers hockey".

still, that could be a suspension

 

[cheesedanish87]

Great job by Murray.

I think the Flyers had the better of the play, but i don't think the shot clock was a reflection of the game, Flyers had a few grade a chances in the first off of odd man rushes and some grade A looks on their PP, but other then that the Flyers were just shooting the puck from everywhere.

Geno deserves a suspension, what an idiot, Pens are playing for their playoff lives and you have Geno do that, not only did he put tonight's game in risk, but he most likely is going to hurt the Pens going forward.

 

[ColePens]

I know that people are angry at Malkin, but this is the Malkin I want. angry, crazy Malkin will dominate rest of the season

Yeah no. We talk about safety for the game. We talk about the focus on player safety. That stick hits the dude's eye and he's without sight for possibly his entire life. And no.. I don't want to wait for it to happen. It's unacceptable.

As Penguin fans we need to hold a higher standard and not be "that guy" that turns a blind eye when our team does it. Rise above that. Using your stick as a weapon towards someone's face/eye/head is unacceptable. Hit or miss, reaction to a dirty play or not.

 

[Gurglesons]

+ Bjugstad has some chemistry with Malkin.

+ McCann is looking great

+ Murray and Malkin (outside the BS)

+ @ColePens being too hard on the team for once. Flyers are hot as hell and we lost a top four D even if he is a bad D. Flyers are desperate and they didn’t have too many GREAT chances in the 2nd.

 

[DegenX]

Murray

And while Geno's response isn't acceptable, neither was Raffl punching him in the back of the head.

 

[HuskerTornado]

++++Murray
+ Beating these ****ers.

-Malkin maybe the most selfish thing I've seen him do on the ice in his career.

In 08 or 09 vs Detroit, didn't Geno swing his stick in a fight?

 

[vodeni]

I know we were badly outshot but this one did not feel that bad to me, maybe its Flyers defens that I felt were giving enough space for our guy whenever they actually decided to make some

which this map kind of confirms

 

[Shady Machine]

Can't let them get rough and get away with it.

Good for Malkin.

Swinging a stick wildly is not the way to go about it.

 

[Hobodrifter]

Nah good for Geno for sticking up himself. Flyers were doing dirty **** all game.

Raffl with a swing at Malkin's head. **** him he deserved Malkin swinging his stick at him.

A joke that he wasn't penalised aswell.

Yeah, saw the punch to the back of the head. Malkin wasn't right, but let's put it all into context here before we crucify him.

 

[cassius]

In the NHL, it's all about the injury - not the actual intent.

If Geno connects and injures him, he would have gotten a serious suspension. However, I think you'll only see 1-2 games because he didn't connect.
