Post-Game Talk: Don't call it a comeback: Pens-5, Sens-3

[66-30-33]

Murray was ALL over the place tonight. Still, he held us in it as Sens could have scored to put the game further away. Wasn't the best game but a good comeback effort again.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

apparently the key to beating Sullivan's system is to be a ****** team (no offense to any Sens fans reading this)

It exploits the bad 1st periods because they're also thinking they can get away with coasting. They still haven't completely gotten rid of the playing down to bad teams tendency and 1st periods have been a fairly consistent problem under Sullivan.

I'm starting to wonder if it doesn't take some adversity to really perk them up. It's a bad thing.

 

[Common Sense]

Feels like this team can come back from anything right now.

Hags - Bonino - Kessel is awesome.

Sid looked great every time he was on the ice without Kunitz.

Murray needs to be better.

Sure hope that Sheary is alright.

 

[chethejet]

Two points and move on. Caps on Thursday and should be a game the Pens show up for.

 

[ColePens]

Hagelin is maybe my favorite player on the team not named Sidney Crosby right now. Or maybe it's Letang. Or maybe it's Kessel.

I love watching this team light it up and overcome huge deficits - you can tell their belief is never shaken.

I'd LOVE to see Sid go nuts in the last two games and get to 40 goals.

Letang was a monster tonight, too, though. He was just as important to that EN goal because he jumps up and becomes an outlet when we have none. It's such an underrated characteristic of his game. He makes himself available as an outlet and when you are a player, you ****ing love stuff like that. To always have a safe pass is the easiest way to play the game.

#58 was a monster.

guys I think this team might be pretty good.

 

[WayneSid9987]

With these 2 pts i'd start resting bodies.
Pouliot and Dominik Simon can play and the team won't really miss a beat imo.
Gear it down over the next 2.

 

[Will Hunting]

We didn´t even push, we didn´t even play well and yet somehow score 5 unanswered to win this game. Had huge money on it too. Thank you Hags, loving you

but is it... the S WORD?

 

[Nakawick]

Team can comeback, but not liking the slow starts. Sweet chin music,..nuff said. We need Kunitz away from Sid. Hope Sheary is ok.

Murray makes me nervous. His lateral movement needs work and he over commits and gets out of position to often/easily. We don't have the crease cleaners to bail him out. A big guy like Hayes could do damage in the playoffs.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

+ The summer dance party we're gonna have when Kunitz gets traded.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

As great as Horny's been since Sullivan took over and as dynamic as Kessel's been lately...Hagelin has been this team's best winger since he got here. What a two-way demon.

#58 was a monster.

Similar to Karlsson, but way better defensively. That goal that he saved.. just wow. Karlsson was dangerous all night but he made some terrible decisions in his own end. Letang is playing better than him at this point.

Imagine if we weren't losing a player every third game.

They give no ****s about being down a goal or two or three.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I love this stupid team.

i'll lick all of you on the face

[Ugene Magic]

Pens win.

Complain about Kunitz getting a puck from behind waiting for it to catch up with two Ottawa players closing on him quickly. Basically shooting it as it got there in the nick of time. He didn't even get to look at the net.


Some people have issues.

 

[King of the Fall]

Dan Girardi helped off the ice with a shoulder/collarbone injury it seemed. Huge if he is out.

to this game, I keep forgetting we will be getting Maatta back soon as well. unbelievable heart with this team.

I'll start the pre game thread when the time comes

 

[66-30-33]

Imagine if we weren't losing a player every third game.

They give no ****s about being down a goal or two or three.

"Yo guys we got a 3 goal lead, we got dis! Pens are bad lololol!"
"WTF they scored 5 in a row and beat us...howwww????"

2 goal leads are the worst lead in hockey they say. 3 goal leads are the worst lead against the Pens.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

We all talked about it in the GDT. Sid is awesome when he's playing with Beau and Sheary. Sid is not good when he's with Horny/Kunitz. We need to figure that out. #71 coming back and being on Sid's line might just be that antidote.

We don't need to overcomplicate it or put all our eggs in the L1 basket by putting Geno on the wing.

Just get Kunitz the **** off that line. It's plain as day.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

I love this stupid team.

I think we've found IC's "S Word".

 

[Speaking Moistly]

As great as Horny's been since Sullivan took over and as dynamic as Kessel's been lately...Hagelin has been this team's best winger since he got here. What a two-way demon.

If Bennett could be healthy and playing like he was and Hornqvist could move to the LW, could you imagine how happy we'd be with the wingers?


Instead Kunitz is the ****ing crown jewel of the org, Rust is hurt, Bennett can't stay healthy, Sheary is hurt and Wilson is out.

 

[orby]

Did Schultz return to the game in the third? I lost track of him.
