Isles in 5 I hate this team. At least they lost tonight in a way I was scared this series was going to go: not being able to score for **** and losing a bunch of 2-1 or 3-1 games.

I have nothing else to say.

 

[ncm7772]

I really don't know what to say. This team, on paper, is a very good team, and should beat this opponent. For whatever reason, they just aren't that good. I just can't fathom how they're not better. The effort is simply unacceptable. I honestly have no clue, so it's pointless for me to even speculate why.

 

[Rudy Russo]

The islanders are in the pens heads right now.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Maybe try that stuff sooner.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Pens being sore losers

 

[SouthGeorge]

Wasted a Guddy bomb

 

[K Fleur]

Malkin was a f***ing joke tonight.

JJ is a f***ing joke every night.

 

[BHD]

Pathetic. That's all I have to say.

Isles in 5 I hate this team.

I have nothing else to say.

Neither does Sid, apparently.

 

[SirBrad]

Sad times man. Oh well what the hell are you going to do. We're definitely in the early stages of the decline years with this team.

How rapidly they fall is the only question.

 

[canadianguy77]

The look of defeat on the bench and the players on the ice says it all. This is Dan Bylsmas later years all over again.

 

[Griffin6612]

Plus. Only saw last ten minutes

 

[Rossi Rat]

Casey Cizikas outplays Sidney Crosby. You’re gonna have a bad time.

There’s a lot more to say too - dog**** performances from all our “stars”.

 

[KIRK]

Malkin was a ****ing joke tonight.

JJ is a ****ing joke every night.

Yep, we lost because of Malkin. Exactly.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Pens need to win at home to get back into the series, it is that simple.

 

[Gurglesons]

If we get blown out like that in Pitt, I’ll say Sullivan deserves some blame.

Anyone that wants to defend JJ after tonight’s game and the way Schultz was completely handicapped transitionally by him. Feel free.

 

[Vegeta]

I'm hoping that Geno pulls his head out of his ass.

 

[Jacob]

Embarrassing. Geno is 32 and still can’t avoid the after whistle bullshit. Guy’s gotta have an IQ of 78.

 

[TheGuiminator]

Next game Sunday afternoon? Lol I expect the worst

 

[2wayPlay]

I voted Isles in 6 can I take that minus 2??

We are a pathetic lot. At least we get rest this summer?? Oh wait.....

 

[orby]

This reminds me a lot of the last Pens-Isles series, where the Islanders were the faster and more opportunistic team and the Pens barely managed to beat them despite having a completely stacked offense. This time they may not be so lucky.

The effort is simply unacceptable. I honestly have no clue, so it's pointless for me to even speculate why.

They're poorly coached, they're systematically terrible, they're a bad cohesive team and the players aren't as good as you (or we in general) think they are.

The islanders are in the pens heads right now.

Naw, PENS are in their own heads because how dumb they are.

 

[Burn]

Chip and chase hockey... Uncreative BS...
