GDT: Happiness is but a mere episode in the general drama of pain: Penguins at Coyotes

[Speaking Moistly]

Death
taxes
Kunitz anchoring 87 or 71

3 inevitabilities of life.

#1 will eventually trump #3 decades from now.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Ebbett/Kunitz promoted.
Perron/Bennett demoted.

errey embarassing: shut it down, shut it down, let that sink in

 

[billybudd]

Isolating on Kunitz this period. He can't do anything with the puck, but the reason he doesn't get "punished" I think is because he never ever makes the wrong read.

 

[td_ice]

Be nice. He has an iron deficiency.

That's from months of Simon Despres stealing all his red meat and beans from his pre game meals. At least that is what a source from inside the organization told me.

 

[Waffle Fries]

It'd be cool if Sid could get another point for sole possession of first place. I'm entering the TEOT philosophy of "at least we can strive for regular season hardware"

 

[canadianguy77]

Means nothing if he's always a second or two behind the play.

 

[froods]

Really like Lovejoy's game tonight. Big minutes and getting the puck out quickly

 

[Jrtu]

Ebbett/Kunitz promoted.
Perron/Bennett demoted.

So we can boost their trade values at the draft?

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

I absolutely HATE when low scoring contests are instantly called "systematic" games. HATE that.

 

[Shaftception]

Hey remember how johnston's system was supposed to have forwards swinging back to aid the breakout and to build up speed, and how if they didn't have a clean break out available they'd pass it back to the D to start over, you know like a proper puck possession system like chicago or detroit?

Notice how that never happens? Notice how the second they get the puck they just struggle to outskate the forecheckers out of their zone until they inevitably run into the defenders in the neutral zone, which coupled with the backcheckers they're not able to outskate inevitably leads to a turnover or a weak dump with zero speed entering the zone?

Over and over and over? I don't have any nhl coaching experience either just pay me I'm available.

Well stated. There's a reason he's always a half second late. The legs and especially the hands, not the reads.

In that sense, he's Guerin circa 2010. Unfortunately, he's being treated as such.

 

[Waffle Fries]

When was the last time a goalie didn't have a .920 or higher save % against us?

Is Clusterf**** a system?

 

[billybudd]

That's the thing--he's not. He's never out of position, even as slow as he is.

He's too slow WITH the puck, but that's not the same thing as being behind the play.

The Pens lack the personnel/mix of personnel to pull it off.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Coaches only coach defense in the NHL. No one coaches offense anymore.

 

[crawz87]

Lol Crosby and Letang in on another goal tonight. And Sutter's ass goal is our secondary scoring guys.

Guerin 2010. Good comparison.

Edmonton?

 

[Sam Spade]

Doan should have retired, he is really bad.

 

[ColePens]

Why the ****ing **** is that not interference? He interfered with Lappy on the way in!

 

[Waffle Fries]

Lappy's having a really good game.

Edmonton?

So bad

 

[Shaftception]

That's "subtle"? holy ****
