Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Pens vs. Rangers - The Ogre/Cole Positive Train! CHOO CHOO

[Ogrezilla]

When you try your best... but you don't succeed...

I'm ready

 

[LOGiK]

I'm ready

lol....
ohhhh noooooo

 

[DegenX]

It's too risque for the mods.

It's been done. And some folks were really pissed off about it, too @IHWR

 

[LOGiK]

What the penguins record when dealing with (key) injuries? That is a tough stat to follow with the numerous injuries, but I'll be damned, I think they play better.

A very large section of the board seemed to not grasp the highly-intellectual concept. SO/PO was basically the Rick and Morty of playoff avatars.

 

[BillPrep]

+ Dad has the most GWG, by a 40yo, in Pens history... 2

also, per sully, blueger plays a "conscientious" game...

 

[Ogrezilla]

come on, we were about to go with BOOKS. What were we supposed to do? We had to make a decisive move for the good of the board.

 

[The Worst One]

Where is our Latvian friend? Someone @ him. Cannot miss this discussion!

Im here. Enjoying the two goals, and eating pizza and drinking milk.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Also @Jiggy will like what he witnessed from AJ tonight.
There was one play where he was zipping into the Rangers zone and got checked pretty hard and it didn't phase him/didn't get knocked on his ass. Just bounced off it and kept chuggin' his legs. He's getting comfy and looked good with more ice tonight.

Ya, he’s not falling down anymore like he did when he first turned pro. I heard he got stronger, and he did look as if he had, but you have to see it agt the big boys.

Now we have to see if he can use his speed to turn the corner on NHL defensemen... if he can show that and his hands can keep up, I’ll be pretty excited.

That could give them four young guys that can really close on pucks... just wish he would score so he could stay in over Wilson when Malkin is back.

They play a simple game. And when you have lesser players that's precisely how you need to play. Make the smart safe play, manage the puck well and get puck support from your linemates. It's a simple formula but very effective. Don't try to be fancy and do too much.

+Blueger
+Murray
+L4 was dominant tonight despite the low TOI

yeah I really hope Sully sees what he's doing out there. Not just offense, he has caused some turnovers that lead to good stuff too.

+Blueger

And ALL our centers made meaningful contributions.

 

[Darren McCord]

When geno is back Id like to see them try this

Jake sid rust
Horny malkin bujs
McCann Tb kessel
Simon Cullen aj/Wilson

I think that third line is starting to get more and more chances. Young kids might wake up kessel

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Gud with his worst game tonight as a Penguin imo.

It came in a 5-2 win, and he still wasn’t noticeably terrible. Contract/history/etc aside, he’s been quite a nice pickup so far.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Teddy KGB...

He beat me, straight up...

Yeah, but they were disgusting to watch for long stretches this season.
I throw up a lil bit in my mouth thinking about back when we had brasstard out there...
Total 180 from a short time ago.

They couldn't even connect passes... I mean... they were awful! That was when they were almost fully healthy - Schultz.

 

[Nakawick]

Blueger has been meditating with the local Guru in Wilkes Barre.

 

[Ignatius]

Smug Blueger begrudgingly accepts your praise for the paltry 2 goals he scored.​

Needs a tophat and monacle.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Give the man his money.

 

[IcedCapp]

Give the man his money.

as long as that money is on a 2-year deal at the league minimum

 

[Pengwins]

I give a + to everyone except Kessel

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

[LOGiK]

Why everyone hating on our boy phil?

 

[Burn]

Nice to get the win but a terrible defensive game. So many side to side save by Murray.

I think the man power on D is fine. The Fs are just bad at collapsing to the net and come back with little reason.
