Post-Game Talk: Habs 4, Pens 3 (SO) - Well That Sucked

[Mr Jiggyfly]

The whole bottom line pretty much got sat outside of Cullen who was PKing mainly.

Ya so basically Simon (was trying not to complain since I’m biased towards him) and Sprong, the two fwds who had any jump when they were out there for the first two periods.

Oh, and also got them on the board first.

Don’t rag on Sullivan too much, but he should be rewarding effort from young legs, especially when they produced.

I gotta say watching Sid play like that makes me believe he'll never win an Art Ross again. Can't expect him to win any trophy for that matter if he takes the first 30 games or so off.

 

[CertifiedLurker]

And like last year Kessel even though he's not been great himself is moving along.

Would've liked to see him get 1 minute in OT but we might have gotten an undeserving point out of it.

HAHAHAHAHAH

WTF are you doing?!?!

Winter...means I might wear long pants and a long t-shirt a bit more.

California has a few benefits still. Just a few though.

I dream of living in the Bay Area. I'll take earthquake and crazy housing market above snow and cold.

You are one spoiled mf, all the Cups and no winter.

 

[Peat]

So there's one offensive defenseman on this team and whatever kind of defensemen the rest are.

They're all offensive dmen. It kinda the problem. Well, except Dumo.

 

[Gurglesons]

Are you really?

The dude could cure cancer on the ice and some Penguins fans would still be saying he sucks.

Johnson cures cancer, but the cure actually causes the person to catch ebola.

 

[Turin]

Brassard-Crosby-Hornqvist
Hagelin-Malkin-Rust
Guentzel-Sheahan-Kessel
Simon-Cullen-Sprong

That’s what I’d try. And before people freak about the idea of separating the incredibly potent April duo that is Guentzel and Crosby, just chill. All lines change.

 

[EightyOne]

They're all offensive dmen. It kinda the problem. Well, except Dumo.

The whole team is offensive right now.

Maybe not, but if this is what he needs to do to conserve energy as he gets older in order to put forth Conn Smythe level performances in the playoffs, so be it.

I agree. I think Line 2 should be the main criticism at Sullivan and also whatever the hell he thought line 3 was. Sheahan is really showing his true colors this year.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

We were saying the same stuff about sid at this time last year. I just think he doesn't care about the beginning of the season anymore

For an all-time great, that’s a pretty shitty attitude to have.

 

[CertifiedLurker]

They're all offensive dmen. It kinda the problem. Well, except Dumo.

If the rest are offensive dmen, they all f***in suck at it beyond Letang.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I'm trying to escape reality here, stop it with your non sense. This is a virutal world, what are you talking about?

Closing the swimming pool, mowing the lawn one last time?

 

[Clare2904]

Can I get a refund please?

He doesn’t care and that’s fine....all about the Cup...let him protect himself the first half of the season

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

It looks like no one watches games anymore. That was a really good third period. probably best period so far. Johnson with a strong game, Riikola too, all three lines played well, defense activated, still things to work on, but that looked much better than first two

Yeah, I liked what I was seeing in the 3rd. Something to build on.

Are you really?

The dude could cure cancer on the ice and some Penguins fans would still be saying he sucks.

I actually am. I thought people just wouldn't mention him.

 

[Andy99]

I dream of living in the Bay Area. I'll take earthquake and crazy housing market above snow and cold.

You wouldn’t say that if you saw my mortgage payments...

 

[Turin]

I gotta say watching Sid play like that makes me believe he'll never win an Art Ross again. Can't expect him to win any trophy for that matter if he takes the first 30 games or so off.

He doesn’t exactly get the ES finish from his line mates anymore, nor the puck touches on the PP to produce when he has off games too.. so that’s a factor. But yea, let’s be honest his lack of a goals scorers drive after winning the Rocket is perplexing.

 

[EliteGoaltending]

Brassard-Crosby-Hornqvist
Hagelin-Malkin-Rust
Guentzel-Sheahan-Kessel
Simon-Cullen-Sprong

That’s what I’d try. And before people freak about the idea of separating the incredibly potent April duo that is Guentzel and Crosby, just chill. All lines change.

Guentzel-Kessel work good together too.

But snow in Sahara might be more likely than us seeing this line up on the ice.

With Schultz out, we better hope Letang remains healthy and can play 32 min a game again because I really don’t want Maatta and Olek playing that much....

 

[ColePens]

Mobile style... Letang is our MVP so far. Drink time

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Mackey just tweeted that Schultz is in a walking boot and crutches.

EDIT: Sullivan says no update

I appreciate the typed captions. Tweets have stopped showing up for me.

I miss the old HF boards.

ETA: But apparently they show up in quoted posts.
I'll just have to start quoting everything.

 

[CertifiedLurker]

This team simply isn't up to par on FUNDAMENTALS, its the reason they lose possession so god damn often. Learn how to pass a puck, shoot a puck on net, skate without falling, and receive a pass ffs. It's actually laughable if it weren't so sad.
