Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Pens vs. Red Wings and it didn't go so well!

[ColePens]

Welp... that was a waste of a night. Respectfully we are without Dumo/Letang/Geno, but boy the effort was not there. That was a Sunday skate effort at best. That was pre-season Pens/Detroit at best.

Not the look you wanted heading into the playoffs. That was not a good effort.


I'll just go ahead and wipe my memory of this one and see how they play game 81.

McCann> Rust/ Simon on Crosby's line.

- This board has become insufferable anytime we aren't blowing someone out. Worse than normal even.

What about the forgotten Hornqvist?

 

[Beauner]

I deserve an apology after watching that mess

 

[Ryder71]

I really hope Geno comes back Thursday, this isn't funny anymore. We still control our destiny, but the margin for error is slim.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Shit effort.

Hate when I watch this team play 75% and think it's good enough to win, even against not so good teams.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I thought Detroit exposed the Pens def.

Having Gud JJ Trotman and Maatta against a fast skilled team isn't a recipe for success.

 

[KIRK]

Like @Ogrezilla, I blame Rust.

BTW, I don't care WHAT @ColePens says, Maatta ******* sucks. The defense was better when he was out.

 

[pensfansince88]

sully literally had the best top line combo a few weeks ago and he has no clue/memory of what it was it seems

Sloppy, sloppier, sloppiest.

Sullivan is literally the complete opposite of Bylsma. Disco Dan would never mix lines up. Sullivan can't help himself game to game. Why McCann, Sid, Jake was ripped up is f***ing lunacy.

the funny part, Sully seems to be concerned, unlike some others, he seems to me is trying hard to find some working combos...and I am not seeing that he is happy, he is playing Sid like maniac, not playing blueger and AJ that could eat up some minutes ....why, if the game doesn't matter why is he seem to be concerned?...

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'm about 0% worried that we miss the playoffs, but I don't think we're going to do anything in the post season. Too many guys playing lazy hockey, and too many important guys banged up.

I'm ready to see what JR can do regarding Phil Kessel and Olli Maatta this summer, too. I've had enough of those guys, not that they're the only ones struggling, but still.

 

[2wayPlay]

Maybe the Pens can let Malkin and Letang rest all offseason. We are no lock anymore might want to have some urgency?

[Dipsy Doodle]

These injuries to core players hurts our ability to get anything resembling chemistry established before the playoffs.

what's there to be positive about with a game like this one? Murray and that's it.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Sid's pointless streaks hurt me bro. As does Bertuzzi's face and the effort givin by a lot of the team. 6 more chances boys

RIP wolf shirts, their luck lasted 6 games. Gonna have to be original now and make up my own gimmick thing instead of reviving someone else's. Hmmmm i liked the WWF when i was a kid, maybe i can post vince McMahon shirts no one has done anything remotely like that here

 

[AjaxTelamon]

I know in my head that Maatta generally has good outcomes and stats, but man, if he goes this summer I will not be upset.

 

[Andy99]

Well that sucked....

On to Thursday...hoping G is back, Dumo was just taking a one game breather and Letang has a miraculous recovery, and Sully removes his head from his ass...we can dream

 

[TNT87]

That was a stinker. Just don't take after the Steelers and choke the playoffs away.

Lets get 'em on Thursday.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

All I care about is how we clinch next. Someone tell me
