GDT: MDSF: ISLANDERS vs. PENGUINS| GAME 3 | Are you too good for your HOME?|4/14 12:00PM | PPG

[NewAgeOutlaw]

He’s on pace for 2 good playoffs out of 4. I agree they should look to get rid of dead weight first but they’ve been sick of him for a while it seems. Phil and Geno were awful 5 on 5 this year though, no getting around it.

He's been good this playoff. I am not going to give him crap about it because the rest of the team is sleeping.

 

[PensandCaps]

aaaaand people want to dump Letang again.

And get who? Letang is elite was fantastic all year.

Anyone letting a 4 game sample size sway their opinion are very short sighted.

 

[Richard]

I may Jake is getting outworked defensively by Jordan froggen eberle. Time for me to sign off

 

[Empoleon8771]

A great way to weed out uneducated posters is by seeing what people are crying about goaltending in a series where the Penguins have had 2 games of only scoring 1 goal.

 

[Beauner]

Oh I'm sure you can add quite a few other names to the "complete nonfactor list" aside from just rust.

This is why I'm not so quick to turn on sully. He hasn't been good but at the same time look at what he has to work with. Rust, zar, bjugs, jj and how many others have been just utter garbage?

 

[Shady Machine]

aaaaand people want to dump Letang again.

I don’t want to dump him but he’s had two bad playoffs in a row. Fair to criticize right?

 

[TheGuiminator]

I’m just waiting for the empty net now

 

[KIRK]

The D core needs to be blown up this offseason. Sullivan and Recchi should also go. The team just isn't buying into the current system anymore.

JR and Guerin need to go too. You can't trust the architect of this ****show or his heir apparent to fix it.

 

[The Old Master]

There's no way we're playing disciplined enough to win 4 in a row vs this team. We might push it deeper, but we aint winning it.

I thought the same thing when we had the isle's down 3-0 and they came back.

 

[bigkam]

Pens have given up. No life.

Lol Letang has two straight awful playoffs

He's been terrible for a while, and only his outrageous talent has kept some from not seeing it. At the time, I thought we should have dealt him before the long-term contract was signed, when he was probably at his peak value.

 

[Ogrezilla]

nope

it's cool. This is america, you have the right to silly opinions.

 

[SouthGeorge]

aaaaand people want to dump Letang again.

No cups since he wasn't playing..

 

[BoysofWinter66871]

Mike Richards might be needed to wake up these skating corpses.

 

[vodeni]

When is the last time the Pens had a legitimate scoring chance?

friday?

 

[PensandCaps]

No. That's stupid. If anything I think we need to move on from Schultz, Maatta, and Johnson.

I'd hang on to Dumoulin, Letang, Pettersson, and yes Gudbranson.

If Letang is going to go, it should be to retire and I 100% get why he would.

I'd throw Guds into the sun too.

Get faster on the backend.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I'm not going to pretend letting in soft goals does nothing to the psyche of the team.

Cool, I'm not going to pretend that awful defense does nothing to the ability of a goalie to make saves.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Insisting on starting the trilogy with an 8 year old (or whatever he was) effectively killed an entire movie. He was a passive audience member in his own story

Oh yeah... for sure. I even had big reservations about that at the time of release.

I would argue that there are actually things about TPM that make it the best of the 3... I mean... with HEAVY editing and cuts. And yes I know... Jar Jar, podracing and a child actor. All very bad. But Qui Gon, Obi Wan, and arguably one of the best villains (and terrific saber battle)to appear on the big screen in the SW universe makes it's core elements arguably better than much of the other two... ESPECIALLY Clone Wars. Which was just...

*shudders*

 

[Turin]

Literally zero reason to have this guy on our roster. We literally won a cup without him

Yea but that required an immeasurable about of fortune and effort. We just going to ignore that he’s coming back from a potentially serious injury? Now, if you want to make the argument that he gets hurt too often.. then I’m listening.

 

[SEALBound]

This series reminds me a lot of the 2016 series against the Rangers.

 

[Shrimper]

When is the last time the Pens had a legitimate scoring chance?

2018

 

[Ryder71]

No heart, no fight, no system, no structure. Just nothing. Season is over and changes have to be made.

They're playing like a team who knew it's destiny was pre-determined. So uninspiring.

 

[KIRK]

I may Jake is getting outworked defensively by Jordan froggen eberle. Time for me to sign off

Yeah, but Jake isn't being paid 6M per.

 

[Beauner]

He's been terrible for a while, and only his outrageous talent has kept some from not seeing it. At the time, I thought we should have dealt him before the long-term contract was signed, when he was probably at his peak value.

Oh come on.he was a legitimate Norris candidate this year. Dont let a week of bad play erase your memory

 

[Shady Machine]

I’m down to fire pretty much everyone after this bullshit

 

[House of tpo]

we've become the hawks ,our run has closed ,window shut

 

[Richard]

And get who? Letang is elite was fantastic all year.

Anyone letting a 4 game sample size sway their opinion are very short sighted.

No he wasn't and no he's not. He's lazy, stupid and his physical talent is declining. He's not going to get better with age, he's gonna crash and burn because he can't think the game of hockey. Move him to some sucker
