Post-Game Talk: Islanders 3, Penguins 1 - Not With a Bang, Not Even a Whimper

[Ugene Magic]

Probably the only gif that pertains to the Pens these playoffs.

 

[BHD]

Soul searching time for this group. We'll see whether they have what it takes on Sunday.

 

[SEALBound]

Pretty shameful for the vast majority. Murray did the best he could.

This team is done like dinner. The number of no-shows here is as infuriating as it is embarrassing.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Haven't been able to match the Isles' speed or tenacity through 2 games, and Sullivan's shitty line choices haven't helped.

The good news is that you're never out of it until you lose at home. Maybe we'll sack up and do something in Game 3.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Murray is the only reason it was not a blow out. We started the game well, but everything went to hell.after the first penalty.

I was optimistic after Game 1, but this team is done. They might win one or even two, but they are done. No energy, shit defense and they have no answer to the Isles speed.

 

[Clare2904]

Think we can file this one in the bullshit drawer

 

[mpp9]

Neither does Sid, apparently.

Neither does Malkin. Or PH. Or Guentzel. Or Rust. Or Cullen.

They all suck bud.

 

[KIRK]

Played like losers all night.

Everyone gets a minus, again.

At some point, "MM played awesome, who cares if he gave up 3+?" is gonna end the season.

Good point. Fleury wouldn't have done that against the Islanders in the playoffs.

 

[Turin]

It’s hard to win. The team isn’t good if Geno isn’t going to be a 9.5 million dollar player among other obvious problems. But it’s weird how bad Sids line is.

 

[K Fleur]

Yep, we lost because of Malkin. Exactly.

Yep, cause that’s what I said Kirk. Exactly...

Your boy can be criticized when plays and acts like a **** head. It’s ok happens to everybody.

 

[domaug]

mentally and physically the weakest team in the league.

they don't even deserve to be here.

 

[Ogrezilla]

+ Murray
- the rest
- - - me for coming to these GDT's

 

[canadianguy77]

Hahaha love the postgame scrum. Big tough guy malkin.

Hey nowwwwww. Mamamonkey.

 

[BoysofWinter66871]

Geno should've taken Nelson's head off. I can't stand the Isles or Trotz. Too bad a bum like Wilson won't go full King Arthur and take out one of their stars like they try to injure ours.

 

[KIRK]

Neither does Malkin. Or PH. Or Guentzel. Or Rust. Or Cullen.

They all suck bud.

I don't know. Malkin's the only one of that group setting up and scoring goals and not being a minus aty 5 on 5 out there.

 

[SomeDude]

Mike Sullivan doing his best Disco Dan impression. This team is a mess

 

[Andy99]

Half way to quite the interesting summer . . .

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper...awesome title...

 

[Anya6687]

+Murray
+Sid was good playing with useless line mates
+We are going home

-Absolutely everyone else...seriously

 

[bigkam]

We’re not going to win if Malkin and Crosby continue producing nothing. The only plus for me tonight is that we are now only two losses from seeing this team blown up. I’ve seen enough of it.

 

[Bnat66]

What happened to the Sid and Geno that were able to steal games?

 

[JakeNBake59]

shit performance and now i have a busted keyboard because of this garbage performance

caps off an absolutely shitty week for me

 

[Gumbercules]

Chip it off the glass on the zone exits to get the clears, if you get possession gain the redline and dump it in, and forecheck the likes of Scott Mayfield who will inevitably give you the puck back.

The Pens are about 0/100 trying to stickhandle through traffic at the offensive blueline this series. If it doesn't stop, they are done. If they try and keep things simple, they can come back.

 

[Hobodrifter]

Might as well have put Gundbranson and Wilson out there after the time out. Going back to NY 2-2. They'll figure them out.

 

[hafaba]

Really bad game by the whole team.
I think its almost all on the effort level. there is absolutely no energy in this team.
whope they can change that back at home

 

[Empoleon8771]

To the people complaining about Malkin, he actually has 3 points in 2 games in this series. Why don't you start looking at Crosby and Guentzel before complaining about Malkin?

Man, this team is just disappointing. There are almost no redeeming qualities about this team outside of Murray if Guentzel and Crosby aren't playing well.
