GDT: | Game #VII | Pens vs Flames |1900hrs MST | Effort cant be worse than last night

[Al Smith]

Got home from travel in time to see Flames score their fourth goal and the Pens go quietly through the motions in the 3rd. At least we can look fondly back at our 4-0-1 start.

 

[Darren McCord]

Garbage

 

[Trade]

Heinen had what..1 or 2 periods without any production on L1 before Sullivan moved him? Rust is going on 4 periods without production but that’s ok?

This coach is too much sometimes.

Sid looked so happy when Heinen scored, too. So we can’t even use the “Sid wanted him off” excuse.

Breakouts because of poor puck management and passing decisions.

We are literally unable to string a pass together tonight. It's the usually Penguins looking bad shit.

Sure. But when you have nobody who can skate a puck up, you're left having to execute perfect breakout passes to get anywhere. Yeah with better decisions we could solve that problem somewhat, but we have no skating safety net. When Letang or Matheson or Marino had nothing last year on the breakout, they'd just skate it up the ice and dump it in.

This year? Nobody can do that consistently so far. Petry and Rutta sure don't have the legs for that. So we're left with executing a breakout and we look f***ing shit at that lately.

If you're not gonna be able to skate pucks up the ice ever you better get a hell of a lot better at puck management than we currently are.

Watching Letang drop pass the puck to nobody on these PP breakouts is so f***ing painful

There is no issue with skating the puck out. Rutta and Petry are both great skaters.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

This power play is absolutely atrocious.

They all are this year.

Alright, Jason the logistics guy had a good game getting Poulin’s parents to Calgary!

lol sucks for you.

 

[ChaosAgent]

87, 71 and 58 have been our worst players tonight*

*not counting Ruhwedel.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

this team is bad

beating bad teams makes some tink that they are better than they are. but they are garbage

 

[Darren McCord]

They've given up.

Kaps trying. Poulin and Geno. Some guys are. The top line is MIA tho. Rust and Sid look back. Letang has dropped it back to nobody at least 10 times.

Agree to disagree there I guess. Petry is shifty but he has no gear to escape forecheckers. And he's struggled with faster teams so far

they may be great skaters but they do not skate, the second they get puck behind the net its shot along the wall where their forward is waiting...

What are watching. Geno is not like the others. Dude is trying. Id put Rust with the other two over geno. Geno has created a few chance with no help

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

This. If you dont intend to keep POJ as an everday then at least keep a 7 dmen who plays on that side.

Yeah Dumo can be the 7, call up Th Smith to play with Ruutta, then either Dragon or POJ with 58 the other with Petry.

Mears is reading this board during commercials lol.

 

[Darren McCord]

Even the announcers wondering why they still have these trash lines

 

[Pancakes]

We're gonna dump a bunch of goals onto Vancouver and Seattle's shit goaltending and get lulled into thinking everything is fixed again

are we?

 

[Empoleon8771]

I was going to buy tickets for the Penguins-Kraken game when the Penguins come to Seattle, but I kinda don't want to spend the $120 to go to that game when watching this

Maybe I'll go to get Beniers on my Kraken jersey

LOL

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]
