GDT: Game 36 | Pens v Devils | 7:00PM EST | ROOT

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Well throwing 7 guys out on the ice was an inspired idea.

 

[Terrapin]

7 men and we still can't get a shot on net?

 

[Crozbar]

Great time for a bench minor ...

 

[Daeni10]

Scuderi out there with an empty net, he surely will score

 

[bradshaw06]

there is no way thats a sell out crowd.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We should be pretty upset about this game. I watch the Devils night in and night out, and go to Devils games with regularity. They are an atrocious team, and they out-worked, out-muscled, and out-hustled us tonight. Injuries and illness be damned, they're dealing with the same thing.

A full-on stinker tonight.

 

[IcedCapp]

Scuderi is out there on a 6-on-5 because...?

 

[Night Shift]

Great job by Johnston tonight. Great job.

i'm not sure what else he can do.

 

[H382]

Can't believe I just saw Jagr almost beat Letang to a puck when Letang had at least 4 steps on him..

 

[Jacob]

That dump is half empty.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Scuderi is out there on a 6-on-5 because...?

Still gotta kill the penalty!

lol I misread this.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Scuderi is out there on a 6-on-5 because...?

Because it was a 7-on-5.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

I'm not sure what message Johnston is trying to send by putting Scuderi out there when we take the goalie out. Or to whom he's sending the message.

It's just about the strangest move I've seen...like I don't even remember Bylsma making something like that. So clearly he is sending a message to someone, but who?

 

[MtlPenFan]

That's not the first time I've seen Scuderi out there with the goalie pulled. Even Bylsma wasn't stupid enough to do that.

 

[djt153]

Megna cannot even do the simplest things right right now. Dunno if gripping his stick too tight or just nowhere close to nhl ready, but he wasn't this brutal last year

 

[BHD]

Well that is game MSG+ will be showing during April.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Tootoo with the third star. What a ****ing joke.

 

[Will Hunting]

i'm not sure what else he can do.

Play Harrington? Not play Megna in TOP6? Not play Rust in TOP6? Put Crosby & Malkin together from the start? Play Malkin as a centre? Not send Scuds out there as an extra man? Etc.. Pick one of those..

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Scuderi is out there on a 6-on-5 because...?

He's been hiding a great shot all this time.


That was remarkably stupid from Johnston, just insanely stupid. If this is how he's gong to be with Scuderi then JR needs to take Scuderi away. Coaches have weird things and the GM's need to address it so it doesn't really bite you in the ass.

Rutherford?

Maybe that's why he constructed his top two lines as he has?

Or, maybe he's no better as a bench boss than his predecessor.

Well, yeah any of those things too.

 

[MtlPenFan]

**** I've even seen Scuderi get regular shifts in OT when it's 4 on 4.

 

[Gurglesons]

Rutherford?

Ding Ding.

The entire franchise is even worse off because we have a GM that consistently got screwed on trades and what we need right now is a team shifting trade.

 

[Hophog]

I guess they can keep the same headline in the Post or Trib. The Pens go quietly into the night. Feels a lot like playoff hockey right now
