Post-Game Talk: | Loss | Series 3-2 Pens | Tough one, hope Sid is okay

[Zirakzigil]

Tough loss. We were playing some of our best hockey until Sid got taken out. Team unraveled after that. Good news is we are still leading the series 3-2 and we are going home. Get some IGOOOOOOOR chants going at PPG and finish this off!


Mod warning:

I get it that we are angry. But lets not lose it. Dont be coming here just to swear, dont go to the Rangers board to pick fights and dont be going to the playoffs board to cause fights. Keep your cool and lets move past this one.

I know this game did a complete 180 when Trouba cheapshotted Crosby and knocked him out of the game, but I think the fact that the Penguins fell apart without Crosby is way bigger of a damnation than anything you can put on the Rangers, refs or anything else.

If the Penguins completely collapse while having a seemingly safe lead just because your best player gets hurt, I'm seriously questioning that team. If Crosby is out for the series and this team loses this series, you're going to have a tough time convincing me that heads shouldn't roll.

I'm not really mad that they lost this game, just disappointed after it looked like they were going to close out the series.

A+ effort refs. You did it!

 

[ChaosAgent]

-----Crosby injury

---Penalties

------Carter. An atrocious display of hockey.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Well shit about Sid. We kinda need him back.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Trouba is a garbage human being and this is a garbage league

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Just a tough one? Awful analysis

That was embarassing.

Losers

 

[PensandCaps]

Completely should've won this game. But the league doesn't care about protecting stars.

 

[SEALBound]

When you need the premium effort...like the flat out sprint to get to the loose puck down by one...it's no where to be found.

That said, they can dominate them. They are capable.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I wasn’t expecting a win tonight but it’s hard to be happy after blowing a 2 goal lead.

Let’s end them at home.

 

[Pancakes]

Meh, Adam Graves did it once and the Pens still won that series.

If our team has any balls they come out and win game 6. Hopefully Sid is ready.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Welp, comes down to Sid.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Good work Boyle. Glad you went after Trouba. Oh wait.

 

[Terrapin]

Glad to see a few face washes and harsh words there at the end. f***ing p***yes

 

[metalan2]

Welp seeya Friday.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

That was some bullshit

 

[HuskerTornado]

Dirtbag nobody takes out best player in the playoffs and the ESPN and NHL crews f***ing revel in it.

 

[Clare2904]

NHL got their Game 6. f*** NYC and their trash fans

 

[Empoleon8771]

Completely should've won this game. But the league doesn't care about protecting stars.

This team had plenty of opportunities to step on the Rangers throats. They got a 5 on 3 30 seconds into the game and were up 2-0 halfway through the game with the Rangers looking lifeless.

They lost this game because the team fell apart without Crosby. That's on them.

 

[wgknestrick]

If only Carter could've taken that elbow

I don't really think we collapsed. The game's temperature was just way too low considering it was only halfway through. Those kinds of games can turn in a hurry when one team ups the intensity.

Here's hoping that either Sid is okay or GMR dominates next game. We should bench Carter. My god was that atrocious.

 

[ronduguayshair]

Tough to comeback when you’re killing penalties.

 

[canadianguy77]

This team was only going as far as Sidney Crosby was going to take them. Whatever happens, he had a hell of a postseason.

 

[RustyRazor]

"The only time I'm even upset when they lose in the playoffs is when they do it by just giving the puck to the other team."

Or when a team comes out headhunting and the refs refuse to penalize them for it and then we lose our best player and captain. f*** Jacob Trouba.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Kap… man I gave this dude a bazillion chances. He’s just such a waste of ice time man. It’s the f***in playoffs in an elimination game and this is the “effort” you show… wow. There is no way in hell this clown dresses if Rick is ready to go before the playoffs end.
