Kris Letang's playoffs

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Pit won the Cup without him. Making a lot of money over the next 3 years and had a really bad playoffs. Candidate to be moved? This gif pretty much describes his play:

[K Fleur]

Hopefully Seattle's first captain.

 

[Pengwins]

We replaced Letang with Hainsey last year and won the Cup

Letang directly lost the Pens the last 2 games. he needs to go

 

[Sticksandsun]

As a Florida fan-we need a defenceman but he is a hard no

 

[Mandar]

Just imagine a Letang/Gardiner pairing......

 

[Inkio]

He is brain dead... please somehow trade him.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

He was painful to watch

 

[TheNumber4]

Oilers will trade you a 2nd and Caleb Jones.

 

[LeafGrief]

Just imagine a Letang/Gardiner pairing......

They'd each score 60 points and probably end up minus 15

 

[Cursed Lemon]

I've always thought Letang was severely overrated but holy mother of god was he bad this postseason.

We're stabbing at Brett Lebda territory here.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Make the "simple" play is not in his toolbag.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Won without him in 2017 but was probably the pens best player in 2016 and a big reason that team was so dominant. Letang hasn't been the same since his injuries last year.

 

[Spawn]

I know HF is the ultimate place for what have you done for me lately, but you’re going to question key players from a back to back Cup winning team?

Some irony here considering Letang deserved the Conn Smythe in the first of those back to back cup wins.

 

[Beau Knows]

He was awful this year for sure.

Yeah, I probably didn’t see enough of him this season, but I am always confused when people say that he is terrible. He would have been my pick for Conn Smythe in 2016. He was amazing that year; especially in the SCF.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

LeTang for Perry

 

[justafan22]

Peter Chiarelli is on line one.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Letang directly lost the Pens the last 2 games. he needs to go

If you're referring to the OT goal, at least 50% of the blame has to go to Crosby bumbling a headman pass during an OT line change. At the very least, he needs to neutralize that puck rather than swat it to the middle of the ice where the Caps can turn it over with speed. It's not visible in the replay but certainly appears that Letang was headed to the bench and then had to turn around and do a wind sprint to try and catch Kuznetsov.

Yeah people acting like he was always this bad. Not long ago he was one of the top d-men in the league. Even though the 2017 Pens still won it all, their run was very different than 2016. The difference with/without Letang was very obvious. 2017 the Pens had no business beating Washington, they got killed, only winning because MAF played out of his mind.

Great gif.

Letang has no trade value atm.
7.25m till 2022..Nobody is touching that.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I feel bad for the guy. His repeated head/neck injuries will put an end to his career. He got his bell rung too many times.

 

[Riddum]

Just imagine a Letang/Gardiner pairing......

I'd glady take both on the Habs. Fans are so fickle, it's pathetic

Not to mention he scored their lone goal of the game.

 

[nhlfan9191]

He’s a little ahead of Seabrook but it’s not looking good for Pittsburgh with this contract right now.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

That sum-up well what I'm thinking about Letang.
