GDT: Game 24: Vegas Golden Knights @ Pittsburgh Penguins | 4:00PM | New Month, New Us?

[VivaLasVegas]

So the game plan was to spend the entire period hemmed in our own zone?

Also full credit to the Pens forecheck.

Seems to be. The Pens move the puck effortlessly out of their defensive zone, but we can't even get possession of the puck in our defensive zone much less move it anywhere.

4 on 4

and a PP, if at any stage we planned on showing up this period this would be it.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Turnover, turnover, turnover, score.

 

[hangman005]

2-0 after one..... can we do it twice in a row

Yes, yes we can.

 

[hangman005]

Dear Vegas, this is what hard work and hustle look like.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Even when we move the puck to the offensive zone we immediately lose possession of it. Frustrating.

[VivaLasVegas]

And here is where we go down 2-3.

That was the only time this period we weren't hemmed in our own zone....... somehow

Had better rushes on the PK than in 5x5 play. After this PP is over, somebody better foul.

 

[hangman005]

"We're a great forechecking team"

Prove it.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Theodore!

 

[hangman005]

TEDDY!!!!!!!

Now get your ____ together and get out of the defensive zone quickly.

Man, am I glad that the Pens hired Steve Spott to consult on their PP.

They are missing Pietrangelo- And Hague is being exposed

That and getting out worked on everything.

 

[RapidKnight]

I don’t approve of that penalty call… or that.

 

[hangman005]

Who knew hard work and being quick could lead to goals.

 

[hangman005]

"B ish game"

Thats a bit generous, "C" for me tops, and take LT out of the equation it's an D-

 

[hangman005]

Maybe if we didn't wait until we were losing to start playing.

 

[RapidKnight]

It seems our forwards our scared to “crowd” an area. Instead they’re setting up an outpost far away from play and killing as much momentum as possible. We need to break out as a team. It also doesn’t help that we’re staring down out targets and defenders only have one stationary outpost to choose from. Transition play is a mess right now.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

They got outhustled in nearly every aspect of the game. That's the bottom line. Pens deserve to win because they worked harder for it. Pens are an at-best middlin' team that beat an allegedly better team (in points) simply by outworking them.

I remember when we used to win like that.
