GDT: Game 4: Penguins @ Canadiens | Pens Past: #71's 1st NHL Goal & #87's 100g/200a/300p

[mpp9]

This team's finishing ability is really questionable outside of a few players.

 

[Konig96]

Just came back in and now Letang is hurt? Wow! Pens got a whopping
3 1/2 games out of him. Him and Geno are always injured.

 

[Cherpak]

I'm still trying to see what makes Wilson so revered on here with the majority. I see nothing special. Just a bottom 6 player that somehow made it to the top 6 by attrition.

Is his play with Crosby that much better?

 

[BHD]

How long will this PP last?

Eh we scored a lot of goals last year. Looks a lot worse with Sid out but what do you expect really.

 

[Finesse]

4 seconds.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Maybe there's a reason why he always seems to be "left out to dry," by his teammates.

I'm sure you think it''s his fault for some reason.

Yeah it always happens. Always. Ergo, his teammates don't like him I guess you're saying. Can we at least keep the arguments within the scope of reality?

 

[Fordy]

you're right. i saw him go tell them to take 6 penalties in a row to allow their 3rd 5v3 of the year and not cover guys in front of the net.

so is this just doubling down on the idea that a goalie can't affect the team at all? as long as someone else played bad, that means fleury is good enough to win?

 

[canadianguy77]

You always say that he's left out to dry by the rest of the team. So if that's true...why is true?

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

of course he can, but to blame this game on MAF is a ****ing joke.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I can't wait to see everyone's reaction when Murray has to play behind crap like this.


Fact Check: He hasn't had to once yet.

 

[canadianguy77]

I'm not the one saying it. RG is always proclaiming it.

 

[molon labe]

The Caps blanked the Avs. Guess they're back to earth.

i don't know why i'm bothering since you two refuse to even consider this and always resort to these kind of strawmen, but maybe, just maybe, they feel more secure and confident with murray and are less likely to overextend, run around, and do something stupid out of perceived desperation. with a less jumpy, manic goaltender behind them, they are more comfortable letting the game come to them, especially when they are given more than 20 seconds to settle into the game before being behind the 8 ball

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

You always say that he's left out to dry by the rest of the team. So if that's true...why is true?

yeah totally! i'm making **** up. the team really played a great game in front of him tonight. 0-8 on the PP is the goalies fault.

 

[vodeni]

what is up with these pucks thrown in the corner on PP, usually corner where there are no pens,

 

[Fordy]

of course he can, but to blame this game on MAF is a ****ing joke.

i'm not blaming the whole game on him. i'm saying he sucks, which hurts the rest of the team, who also played badly. if they played great, maybe they eke it out with him in the net. they do it often enough. doesn't make him the guy you want in net

there's nuance here if you'd care to acknowledge it but i won't hold my breath

 

[mynameisnick4]

Lol @ them pointing out all the people that left the game. The amount of people that left the home opener in a TIED game against the Capitals last Thursday was pretty crazy to me, regardless of how late it was.

 

[Finesse]

They're all high? Not sure what else could cause this kind of a game.

I love the post-Cup uptick in knowledgable and informative posters.

 

[BHD]

This game can't be over soon enough.

His hands are pretty good and he goes to the net. Hes a puck chaser though. Malkin and Sid need puck possession already. I think pretzel fixes some things.

Perfect night for a "soff" defense. Its a problem that needs to be addressed sooner or later.

 

[canadianguy77]

But why? You keep saying they leave him out to dry. No one really says that when MM or Zatkoff lose.

 

[molon labe]

I think if you put this game in a vacuum, are the Penguins elite? Is Montoya elite? Should the Habs trade Price? Trouba for our bottom 5?
