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

[ncm7772]

Vile effort for 40 minutes. Found a way to win. Gentlemen, let’s try the whole game next time!

This oughta shut up some of those obnoxious a$$ Isles fans.

 

[TNT87]

That was such a freaking incredible comeback considering who they were playing.

Rust has been so damn good since coming back from injury.

 

[lordstanley91]

Glad we didn’t just trade him as a sweetener huh

 

[JackFr]

+++++++++++ This team in general is so much fun right now

- Murray, come on just get it together so we can go off
- Galchenyuk, not a fit so far and do not think he will have a positive effect on Crosby's line. All he can do is shoot and he refuses to do that so right now he's just gonna handicap that unit

 

[BHD]

Hustle, hustle, hustle.

Do they pull that off last season? I don't think so. This team is focused.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Considering the next game is their typical loss to Chicago, winning this one was huge.

 

[ColePens]

I told you guys! This team is playing the right way. Even down 0-3, they played a great game. The Pens are playing great hockey. I know it's frustrating the W/L record isn't showing it but I just know if they can keep it up - they will be one of the toughest outs of the playoffs. They are playing great hockey. Just keep building and keep believing. Keep playing this way.

Let's f***ing go.

 

[Clare2904]

Just stop with this "not scoring till we are 3 down" bullshit, please!

 

[Ogrezilla]

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

my wife won't allow me to have a 2nd marriage. And if I suggested it, she'd probably go marry them first.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

F YES F YES F YES F YES

I love the heart and soul of this team. I liked the shakeup of the lines.

Cough Drop was solid. Bjugs had a good game. Speed Kills.

WAY TO GO RUSTY

 

[BillPrep]

- great comeback
- RUSTY!!!
- mccann on rustys line...
- riik deserves a regular hat...
- glad sully changed up the lines...
- mm needs to be better/more consistent...

 

[Bingo71]

And best of all? Trotz won’t be getting any sleep tonight!

 

[IcedCapp]

you know what you have to do

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

- Only minus for me is the PP.

 

[madinsomniac]

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.

If sully tries to break up geno and rust I say chloroform him and leave him in the dressing room....

 

[KIRK]

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

As I've been noting for a while, Kunitz- (one armed) G - Rust was the best possession line by far in the 2016 playoffs. As many have noted, HGH forced Geno to play more north-south.

Perhaps the third time will be the charm for Sully and he'll stop ******* with what gives him the best Malkin.

 

[Ryder71]

This is our signature win of the season against a very structured and disciplined team. I'm stoked!

 

[ChaosAgent]

++++++GENO, RUST AND MCCANN.

+For Sid & Jake in overtime.

---Jake in regulation

Galchenyuk won't be here by March.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Geno and Rust have always had great chemistry. I hope Sully recognizes it and doesn't go back to Geno-Galchenyuk.

 

[KIRK]

If sully tries to break up geno and rust I say chloroform him and leave him in the dressing room....

Frankly, this needs to put an end to the Gally with Geno experiment.

If he fits somewhere else, then great.

If not, then oh well.

It's a hell of a lot more important to get the Geno we got in the third than it is to force feed Gally into a role.

Everyone outside of Jake, Murray and puck luck was fine in the first 40.

Chucky will probably end up with Bjug's and that line will become the new HBK on our way to a cup..

I believe he's going to break out like gangbusters at some point.

 

[Andy99]

I can’t believe we actually came back from
down 3 and scored 4 goals and then overcame our OT woes and won...and we got TWO POINTS baby!

And kudos to MM who held the fort after a failed first period..

 

[Ogrezilla]

ok it has to happen after that comeback

+Everybody
-Murray last game and the first 2 today.
+ Murray bouncing back and shutting the door.
- People who keep counting this team out when they give up a goal or two

 

[Ryder71]

Riikola also might have played his best game in a Pens uniform. He deserves a ton of credit coming in and playing his offside.
