Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Positive Thoughts Lead to Points!

[ColePens]

++++ Whether you agreed with me or not this team is 100000% playing good solid hockey. The bounces aren't going their way. It sucks but oh well. THey deserved to come back AGAIN from 3 goals. Against a strong defensive team that doesn't lose leads.

This looked NOTHING like last year's playoff series. We controlled the play , IMO. At least edged them 5 on 5. And we deserved a point and i'm glad they came back from 3 goals.

+++ Geno, Rusty, McCann: Great line. That has to stick. Good energy and good chances. Really strong play. Their heart/energy was HBK like. And they were awesome.

++ Bjugs: Whether you like the guy or not, that was his 2nd best game as a Penguin. And it's 2 in a row. Both being great games by Bjugs. If he can keep building, we got something.

++ Defense: Everyone but Riiko/Marino are really putting on a shot.

Bryan mother f***ing Rust!

 

[IcedCapp]

we blow

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Rust with the 1st star. This team's got Jam. Well deserved win and sigh of relief. Streak crushers, crushed their own losing streak by breaking the Isles 10 game streak

 

[Ogrezilla]

Pens suck and can't score goals.

for real though, I love this team.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

bonkers game. we know the issues so just give props to the team in the 3rd and OT

 

[Ryder71]

Rust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Turin]

This team is f***ing awesome.

 

[Empoleon8771]

+I get to make fun of my old roommate, who's an Islanders fan, because he quoted me in our messanger chat when the Islanders were up 3-0

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Man, the Islanders announcers were brutal

 

[Zirakzigil]

Well I only saw the last 5min of the 3rd and OT. Seems like the only part I needed to see.

 

[Ogrezilla]

man what a poop goal to let in to finish it. Looked like Matt Murray in net.

 

[SirBrad]

That's a huge win right now. Simple as that.

 

[Ryder71]

Give MM credit, he made the big save when we needed it, great comeback by the boys!

 

[Malkinstheman]

This team has shit loads of heart.

 

[KIRK]

True story. During the game, before I was able to watch, @ColePens texted that Geno and Rust belong together forever. I replied the problem is they need another speed guy on the other wing. Like McCann.

 

[IcedCapp]

Pens suck and can't score goals.

for real though, I love this team.

if you love them so much, why don't you marry them

 

[Beauner]

I want every single person who was ok with adding Rust to dump JJ to apologize to this man's face

 

[canadianguy77]

Great game. Feels nice to exact a little revenge on that team.

And Jusso Riikola is easily a top-6 dman on this team when everyone is healthy.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Well McCann-Geno-Rust seems to be a "don't f*** with this for a long time" line.

 

[KIRK]

Give MM credit, he made the big save when we needed it, great comeback by the boys!

You know what . . .

THIS!

Pens don't win if Murray doesn't shut the door in the 3rd, and the Isles certainly had their chances.

 

[Bingo71]

Good on them for fully completing a comeback, but let’s try to not get behind 3 goals in the next game...

 

[Ryder71]

Our 2hd line was monstrous tonight once McCann was added.

 

[Daeni10]

@KIRK I know it's a legit strategy to just get guys tired but once they are out there long enough you actually have to start generating something for it to work

As I said in the GDT, 0-3 is our comfort zone apparently. I feel like the fundamentals are there the past few weeks, crazy amount of shot attempts and once again great morale!

 

[heysmilinstrange]

I knew that if the team kept playing well, they'd eventually get some puck luck. What a win! What a game!
