GDT: Here We Go Again... Penguins Home Opener against Buffalo Sabres @ 7pmEST

[Pancakes]

Galchenyuk looks like crap. I'd take Kessel over what I'm seeing tonight.

 

[vodeni]

Too cute Geno

he even had that step, why stop, he is just not used to do this stuff anymore

 

[Night Shift]

Really nice to see Jack McGregor around the team.

 

[Bingo71]

D-fense

What is it?

 

[K Fleur]

Imagine you’re in the offensive zone working hard digging out the puck behind the other team’s goalie. You get the puck pass it back to the point and it’s Gudbranson...

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Our defense is still giving up golden opportunities just like last year. Letang needs to get his head out of his ass or the coaching staff needs to get him off the PP.

But we still have Johnson playing top 4 minutes so yeah. This isn’t looking good this year already.

Watching the avs game now. Less than 5 mins in and they look like the pens of 2016..
While the pens look like... this.

They're so bad folks.
Point and laugh. Point and laugh...
All you can do!

 

[Gurglesons]

Weird how this Sabres D looks like the 2016 Pens..

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

The "shot of the night" was McCann missing a wide-open cage? That's pretty on brand for us tonight, to be honest.

We are an awful ******* hockey team. Awful mix. Awful D. Awful coaching. Awful management. Depressing.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Telling down 2 goals and can only muster 4 shots through over half of the third period.

Sure, but that wasn't me. I said he's been slow to every man/puck all night, his foot-speed has been bad, his decision making has been slow, and, as ever, he's been a complete non-entity in the neutral or offensive zones. I forget what you said in response, but I think it was something to the effect of "Well I didn't see it, so he hasn't been bad to me".

It's basically that we disagree, and should stop responding to each other about JJ, I guess.

I think this question may answer a lot: when you say a guy is having a "bad game", do you mean they suck or they suck relative to what they normally provide? My definition of "bad game" is bad relative to what they normally provide. If your definition of bad is just straight up bad, then that's probably where the entire debate stems from.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Sully can't coach offense...?

Who knows... at least they brought a ton of enthusiasm tonight! Hopefully they can build off of that.

 

[ColePens]

Credited 16 giveaways for the Pens. Woooo

But, back to back Cups a few years ago!

Don't sugar coat it Kirk.

Can we send you to the crossroads yet?

 

[K Fleur]

Game one of the hunger games not looking good.

I laughed so hard at that.. like why wouldn’t you make it the goal

We’re relying on too many players who aren’t highly skilled offensive players...

Man, the West has some seriously fun teams to watch. The Avs, Flames, Vegas. Good stuff out there.

Gonna watch to see how our boy Phil does as the Coyotes go-to guy later, too. I know he's talented, but I genuinely expect a 60pt season or so from the guy. He's best suited as a third wave kind of player that can take advantage of not being in the spotlight. I don't see him being able to do that in Arizona.

Telling yes.

Surprising no.
