Post-Game Talk: | Game # IIX | Pens loss | The one were we lost to a bunch of "who?'s"

[canadianguy77]

Honesty I think the D is fine at moving the puck the issue is the forward who is leading the breakout. They are just bizarre in their choices with it.

The issue is we’re too slow.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Our breakout is horrible. Our defense can't move the puck, and the rare time they succeed, our forwards immediately turn it over.

Hextall's moves do not look like a win to me right now.

This is a major issue. The defense, as a whole, is not moving the puck.

And the entire team is hesitating on decisions. There is no crisp ess to their game.

 

[Pancakes]

Meh. Sid has these stretches all the time even when he was in his 20s where he just doesn't move his feet and is way too reactionary.

Then he'll put together 10+ games in a row where he's a dog on a bone with the puck and making ridiculous play after ridiculous play.

 

[reino]

Its time to admit that Guentzel is the best player of this team

 

[Gurglesons]

I think we may have a decent chance at the kid in the next draft. I’m ok with that though.

Take a peak at the division lol.

The issue is we’re too slow.

It really isn’t. The issue is they are playing slow and scripting everything.

Not to mention our defensive play from our forwards is a joke.

 

[Pens x]

-To whoever decided to extend Sully

Our special teams suck too.

 

[Bowski]

So much overpaid garbage on this team, it's suffocating.

Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell for 6 years.

I watch the games and we’re going to get smoked.

 

[Beau Knows]

Absolutely lifeless hockey

 

[Rudy Russo]

Caggiula was a waste of money

I'd rather see DOC and Puustinen play instead of both Caggiula and Archie.

If you watch the game and think “speed” is the issue you’re blind.

Probably someone who thinks Petry is bad too.

Huh? they are both on awesome contracts especially Rust.

 

[Andy99]

+ 1 more loss on the west coast trip

FIFY

 

[Gurglesons]

Lotta idiots in here.

Biggest issues right now are the PK which Rakell and Rust have nothing to do with, the top pairing which is largely because of Sullivan forcing Dumo with Letang and the top nine’s commitment to defense.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

They had leads in most of the games they were “bad in”.

I know. And like I said, mediocre teams don't even have monumental collapses like the nucks had in their first 6 games. The nucks strive to be considered mediocre. .

 

[DearDiary]

Number of wins against another teams starting goalie

ZERO

And the breakout, and the powerplay.

PP will fix itself when Jake comes back. I do not know what will fix the breakout. That's just a team wide problem at this point and the blame rests on everybody.

I am and have been one of Sullivan's backers but if he can't figure that out then the Pens made a huge mistake bringing him back. That has to be better. It's just killing them right now. There's no flow to their game whatsoever.

Marino trade might go down as one the worst trades in Pens history

 

[Extra Texture]

Well...we suck. I will be skipping tomorrows game after whatever they did tonight.

Jesus, I completely forgot they have a game tomorrow night too. A half dozen ex penguins, bottom feeder team, and Eberle all add up to another multigoal loss.

After a red hot start it’s going to be sickening seeing them at .500 within a week. I know the season just started but I thought that momentum would take us a little farther than this.

 

[canadianguy77]

We’re slow dude. Our dmen and centers are slow. I don’t know how else you can spin it.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

They've been bad their first 6 games. Played better against the canes, played even better against the Kraken. They played OK tonight.

Their energy was pretty good considering they played last night. Surprised me a little.
Pens looked like the tired team.

Probably too many Vancouver hoes on the days off.

 

[Tender Rip]

I suppose if one wants to be positive, there is something to having the teams’ shortcomings shown up.

This road trip has certainly accomplished that much.

 

[Gurglesons]

Lol

We aren’t. But okay.

Oct is a weird month, now teams start slowly changing to where they should be.

Probably would’ve without us losing two top six forwards and our “defensive specialist”.
