GDT: Moving On After The Unforgivable Sin | Pittsburgh at Colorado | 10:00P.M. ET

[deczola]

DP has the potential to be really good and I think he will be a mainstay here, but his D the past 10 games has been some of the worse showing by a D man we had in years. Engelland was more solid on the D end.

 

[KIRK]

Malkin is such a beast. It's amusing watching how terrified the Avs are of him, and how little his linemates are doing anything to help him.

That's what people don't get. Comeau is okay as a third wheel, but it really takes Malkin being superhuman every single shift for him to have a fighting chance. Every shift he takes with Kunitz on the other wing is a gift to the other team. It really is.

freaken two on one and DP tried to break up the rush. Yes he looked bad, but maybe a cross ice pass at the blue line was not something he anticipated from the center who truns the puck over with some really stupid decisions.

One positive from this game is ian cole. I think hes looked pretty good

I haven't noticed him much, which I think is a good thing.

 

[DoktorZaius]

Sutter is a bad hockey player...just bad. Can't do fundamental **** right.

Yeah...he backchecks well, he's good on the PK, and he's got a lethal corner wrister when he's streaking in off the right hand boards. That's pretty much the entire list of things he does well, and everything else is a disaster.

 

[Fleury3434*]

yeah that goal was on malkin and his line not really DP. Malkin turned it over to start the rush

 

[deczola]

He's played horrible D for awhile, many times the team was lucky they did not score. I love aggressive players by this dude is insanely aggressive. Needs to find a better balance.

 

[KIRK]

Martin shows a lot of experience there.

EDIT: That really is a **** call.

He got burned by a good player as a rookie. It's not the end of the world

 

[TheSniper26]

That... seems like a really horrible call.

 

[canadianguy77]

Actually I disagree, I don't think Pouliot has been very good defensively. But he's young and I'm willing to let him keep playing and improve.

Said no one in Pen's management ever.

 

[888 98 twins]

Martin just got made to look worse by a much lesser player than what happened with Pouliot. Yikes.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

You wouldn't have a job for long in the Pens organization

Malkin didn't turn it over. He was passing to a trailer and Kunitz skated into the puck deflecting it. He can't account for Kunitz being an idiot.

EDIT: Maybe he should be able to do it.

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Kunitz or whoever decided to get in the way of the pass and try to take it with his shin guard to boot, then Pouliot got burned. It doesn't matter much beyond this game but just accept it.

 

[BobCole]

Why do we have so much trouble making crisp passes in the neutral zone?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

He's played horrible D for awhile, many times the team was lucky they did not score. I love aggressive players by this dude is insanely aggressive. Needs to find a better balance.

Clearly the only way he'll learn is by never playing

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Thats a goal man. Martin getting with it cuz he has alot of experience

 

[Candyman]

It wasn't bad interference. but it was interference. Good call in my book.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If we re-sign Martin, I'll be so disappointed. Ehrhoff as well. Neither guy brings enough of any element to be worth the money they're likely to ask for.

 

[YinzAintBurgh*]

Should have been a goal.. Letang fails to clear the crease.

 

[JBreed02]

I blame fallout boy.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Kunitz on the ice in an extra attacker scenario.

 

[bingobangobongo]

Don't blame Malkin for that turnover. The Penguins have to do a better job. That's identical to a play a few weeks ago - Malkin pulls up on the right side and tries to slide it across to a right shot on the left where there are two players. One guy is supposed to drive the slot hard and open up the area for the other guy (the guy Malkin is passing the puck to) Both times it was mangled by the guy who was supposed to drive hard.

The last time, Bennett hung back for a pass while Letang was open behind him and this time it was Kunitz getting in the way.

Better spacing and that is a good scoring opportunity.
