Does Simon have any redeemable qualities? He is so dime a dozen. Reminds me of when they used to trot Gibbons out with Sid.

Soft hands and pretty good passer/give and go player.

Yah. He's a good player and a great passer.

Simon is fine.

It's also gonna take some time for the guys to gel. Let's not forget that.

Also Malkin has been out too.

They haven't looked terrible imo.

True but 2 shots when you are down is terrible

OMG they looked awful, plain awful, did not have two shots in two periods or whatever

 

[WayneSid9987]

Just a real crappy night.
Get G and JS back. Punt JJ to the moon and maybe it looks better.

I think this game has been awful. They’ve been chasing all night and didn’t get a shot this period for the first 10+ minutes.

 

[Turin]

Why is it that every team plays their best game against the Pens?

Because they’re easy to play against. You have two pairings to feast on every night.

 

[AverageJoeFan]

I thought they could easily be winning this had a few things broke right. Not a bad game tbh.

Guentzel tip just going wide, Riikolas shot skirting the goal line, McCann just missing a highlight reel goal.

Passing hasn't been great. Canes out hustling the Pens. Penalty issues. Not great team defense and yes...some bad bounces

It couldn't be more apparent that you are not watching this game.

Look. I'm the positive one.

 

[chethejet]

Simon is a try hard guy and like the effort, but he is basically useless as a offensive player. He can flash some nice plays but that is not often enough.

 

[Bingo71]

Bibs is concerned and confused...

 

[Hank Plank]

Why am I still watching this travesty.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Errey stop complaining about icing when the team is mailing it in?

 

[KIRK]

Because they’re easy to play against. You have two pairings to feast on every night.

There is a way to change that dynamic with 1 move.

 

[Andy99]

Canes are playing amazing...there are a lot of teams that can play this smothering lock down style and unfortunately the Pens aren’t one of them...

Caps and Isles also are winning...

 

[vodeni]

sully lesson, when you have only 3 good forwards play just one line thats it

 

[LOGiK]

lol penguins new approach. SHOOT FROM ANYWHERE! f*** THIS!

 

[KIRK]

The Canes also have more than 1 defenseman who can move the puck quickly and accurately with anything resembling consistency.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Why are our top 6 forwards missing the net on open looks? They have been playing hockey since elementary school.

 

[USMC607]

McCann has the makings of being a really solid player for a 22 yr old.

Hope he keeps it up.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Slew foot much.

 

[AverageJoeFan]

Petterson and JJ are a train wreck

 

[Lustaf]

Sometimes you just run into a hot goalie.
