It's nice to see Dumoulin finally get rewarded on the score sheet for his strong play.
Dumo continues to be the best defenseman on the roster. Really impressive play from him all season long.

It's always the worst players on this team who have the biggest mouths. Scuderi, Orpik, Adams.. it's infuriating.
Perron had a fine game imo. He just gets robbed all the time, he should be on the top line over Kunitz
I find it hard to imagine that Johnston benched Dupuis, but stranger things have happened I guess.
Dupuis should be closer to healthy scratch material than on Sid's line. I don't think Kunitz was ever this bad.
I just really wish Plots would find a little bit of puck luck now. It's insane how many posts he's hit and how many terrific passes he's made to linemates that haven't been converted. The guy should probably have 5 or 6 more points than he has on the season, and a few goals as well.
I hope Johnston remains patient with him because the points will come if he keeps playing like this.

Scuderi, Cullen and Fehr not happy with Penguins' effort in L.A. today.
No worries, boys. Scuderi isn't happy and is about to lay the hammer down. Kings are happy though, getting rid of Scuderi.
Dumoulin is a beast. So glad we somehow managed to keep him seeing the way we give away prospect every deadline.
We win that game if Kessel does his job. And thats with us playing like **** for half the game. **** the Kings. That organization is trash.
How dare you criticize Kessel

I have to admit that I am both saddened and yet impressed that this fan base still holds out a little hope that things will change for the better under this current regime and core.
Kessel had two point blank chances to score. He missed them.
That **** happens every game.
To blame the loss on Kessel alone is hilarious.
How about those horrible turnovers and missed assignment in the defensive zone??
Happens every game to multiple players lol. The team isn't good defensively. But I guess that's all Kessel's fault too.
No. Kessel is one of the worst defensive players I have ever seen. He needs to put up close to ppg and 40g or he isn't worth it.

you know we are bad when most of the king board thnks that we are too. REad their thread and you will see them saying, great players, crappy team (quote).
Cole and scuds do nothing for me. Maatta isn't looking too great and LJ is a great number 6 but no more. The only 4 defence I trust at all are dumo, Letang, maatta and LJ but I feel maatta and LJ should be on line 4/5 currently. Our defence sucks balls.
Here's the thing... I don't tink that's a Kessel thing, like you do. I see that a lot. The puck goes into the corner and all of our team collapses to the strong side corner. Basically they are saying "Go ahead and try to get a puck through 5 guys...." because it creates a 5 on 4 where technically the d-man is out of the picture.
However... the puck gets through more often than not. That's a schematic issue. Not a Kessel issue. It has created a lot of turnovers, too.
Why exactly is Crosby the captain again? He's not a "lead by example" captain anymore. He's not a call out your team mates kinda captain. He's a make banal statements to the media, work up a sweat but avoid anything where you might get hurt again kinda captain...
Though the deflection goal was exactly the kinda thing that's been missing. If he plays near the net he can still be the best player in the NHL doing that. We just only see it every once in a while now.
