Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Sid walks into Montreal and stone cold stuns them all

[Dipsy Doodle]

I still prefer Horny on L1 (gone MIA again on L3) but McCann acquitted himself very well at both ends, and I love him for shooting on the damn empty net.

Murray, Crosby, and Guentzel were godly.

Gudbranson did have a really solid game, although he did make a couple of bonehead plays by being too aggressive. I'd rather him play aggressive than passive though, so I don't have much of a reason to complain. I thought JJ had a meh game (way better than the badness that he was earlier in the year), but it seems like other people disagree.

ZAR was atrocious out there and Kessel wasn't much better. I also though Cullen and Wilson were bad.

 

[KIRK]

team ran out of gas against Philly and Buffalo, if Dumo/Letang were healthy, I'm guessing there would have been 0 butt clenching this week.

Yes, but then you would've been depressed.

I think we're in wild card 1 currently since we have a game in hand on Montreal.

I think it’s the other way around

 

[Bingo71]

Yes, but then you would've been depressed.

#NeedMoreButtClenching

Despressed???

 

[Ignatius]

The two worst dmen in the game have, for now, stopped being the worst. It’s been nice.

Bad + Bad = Good?!?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I think we're in wild card 1 currently since we have a game in hand on Montreal.

It's so strange to see Carolina in the 3 hole.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Murray takes 3 out of 4 points in back to back starts.

@Ragamuffin Gunner

Very good decision from Sully that shouldnt go unnoticed

 

[Clare2904]

Yep, enjoyed that.

Don't think I will see Cullen live again Cheers Matt, it was f***ing awesome.

Jakey babe, love you kiddo.

#44 wasn't that shite, am I drunk?

 

[EightyOne]

No wonder MTL couldn't stop him...

 

[Turin]

If GoodButtSkin somehow works out, I’ll gladly eat all that crow. For now relatively invisible is all I want.

 

[ColePens]

Sheahan + Brassard for McCann alone would have been a steal. A f***ing steal.

 

[Shady Machine]

Sid/Jake were awesome. McCann looks like he can play wing with skilled pivots, which is a nice add.

Murray was a stud, but should have been traded a long time ago.

Kessel blows

Pens are essentially a one line team right now, with random Geno outbursts.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Man, Murray detractors certainly look dumb.

They looked smart before tonight?

I don't know how anyone could prefer Horny on L1. right now (and I've historically been a proponent).

 

[Andy99]

Huge win tonight!

Murray stepping up big...need him to play this well going forward

++ to the two goods things JR did this year—bring McCann here and re-sign Jake to what looks like a great contract as he already has 60 points and 30 goals

 

[Hank Plank]

+++++++ we won
+++++++ Sidney Crosby
------------ Sid didn't get 5 points.

 

[BHD]

Their attention to detail and playing a 5 man game is impressive. It's not perfect but dammit... they are getting it done.

This. This. This.

 

[fragmag]

My faith in humanity is restored!

 

[3074326]

I was prepared to miss the playoffs without Letang, Dumo and Rust.

I hope they keep making me feel dumb.

Sid is the ****ing man.

 

[EightyOne]

Its ALL MURRAY'S FAULT

Yes. It is his fault.

 

[Pancakes]

I think it’s the other way around

We have a game in hand on them, so we're WC1 and they are WC2 currently. Same points/ROW otherwise.

Columbus is 2 behind us, but has a game in hand.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Good thing we didn't buy Murray out, as someone suggested we should last night, because he just massively outplayed arguably the best goalie in the league.

 

[ColePens]

Very good decision from Sully that shouldnt go unnoticed

Amen. If we are going to shit on his bad moves, we have to credit his good ones. Well done.

They looked smart before tonight?

Amen.

 

[Sideline]

+I'm still terrified by the idea of JMFJ and Handsome Eric playing big minutes, but it looks like they maybe won't be totally disastrous all the time.

+Sid and Jake are playing really well.

+Good Murray is good.

-Phil needs to catch a few breaks and get back on track.

-Why is Wilson playing? Do we not have any better options on the farm?

 

[IcedCapp]

Yes, but then you would've been depressed.
