[Kristopher Letang]

Yay! We are good again! Lol?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

+ They won and no one got injured

- Bennett was scratched again.

 

[Asuna]

Perron is still awesome.

Play LW plz

 

[Gurglesons]

+ Kris Letang is finally playing consistently again after his two years of stupid injuries and strokes and concussions. Nice to have our own version of Doughty.

There´s nothing to take from this game. It was really boring, they probably knew that this was good enough to win it but whatever. Take these 2 points and move on. We are somehow 1st in the Metro but it´s awfully close.

 

[MeinerEiner]

I think that´s how you play games against teams like EDM. Nothing special, solid win.

+ MAF
+ #58
+ for Geno beeing back

 

[Pancakes]

We're somehow back in first in the Metro.

May the Edmonton Oilers not receive the No. 1 pick this summer. I've dealt with McDavid a few times. Really good kid. He deserves better.

 

[ObsessedCreative*]

Perron is great I wub him!

MAF with a SO

This game altogether was embarassing in strategy and execution barely beating a team like the oilers is a joke.

Good lord what a fat ****** bag.

Pretty meh game. We won, but we can't finish for ****. Hopefully Comeau helps that out some. I really liked Despres and Pouliot.

 

[ColePens]

Like many have said... the scariest thing would be if this team wins 3 or 4 in a row and they think nothing is wrong. That's not a good thing.

Three observations

-Not sure if it's coincidence or what, but Sill actually looks like an NHL fourth liner since we've acquired #40. Whether Sill's improvement has to do with 40 or not, they work very, very well together.

-It's comical how high they've got Adams out there when the other two are cycling. He's like 3 feet north of the D half the time.

-First line needs their roles modified. Too often Kunitz is floating around the slot while Perron's in the crease. It works much better when circumstances find their positions flip-flopped or, failing that, when both wings just go to the paint, which is what Geno's guys were doing all night.

I like that Perron doesn't have any compunction about standing under the hoop, but if there's going to be a guy in the slot or circles, he's far, far better suited to that than 14 is at this point.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Bennett has been holding us back, clearly.

Downie had a good game in spite of not showing up on the score sheet. Pouliot showed his positives and negatives. MAF was gud.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

+ They won and no one got injured

- Bennett was scratched again.

Coincidence?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Penguins record when Beau Bennett is a healthy scratch: 2-0

 

[Malkin112*]

Pouliot was pretty bad. too many bad turnovers

 

[KIRK]

Arcobello ******* sucks. Kunitz might be worse. Sutter too.

Exit question: There's no chemistry with Malkin and Horny, but is that because there's no chemistry or because, instead of a LW who might be remotely complementary, those two have played with Spaling or Arco on the other wing or have been centered by Sutter?

Personally, I'm not sure. 50/50 on it, but I'd like to see them with Beau Beau or Comeau before saying it can't work.

 

[M0NTY26]

Good lord what a fat ****** bag.

True as that may be, I agree with him. If they're still a bottom dweller after getting Hall, RNH, and Yak, while teams like the Flames are already back in the playoff mix, I'd hate to see more of the same with the Oilers - extremely talented players rotting away in a horribly ran organization.

 

[Gurglesons]

Pouliot was pretty bad. too many bad turnovers

The only way for him to improve is to play NHL games occasionally. He looks solid in a third pairing role, the issue is that it pushes either of Scuds or Bort up into a top four role which is absolutely ridiculous. I really enjoy him on our second power play, even more than Ehrhoff.

----------- NHL

The stewards of the league should be embarrassed tonight. What was once a sport of odd man rushes, physical and intense play and sniped goals has now become what I watched tonight.

2 goals, one of which was pushed in by a skate.

The beauty of the sport is gone. The intensity of the sport is in it's past. All of that offensive talent on the ice and that's what we get???

I ask myself, what is the point of watching anymore. Is it to see the Pens win?? Who cares if it's boring, as long as they win am I supposed to be satisfied?

Disgusting display of hockey.

 

[penguins2946*]

Pouliot was pretty bad. too many bad turnovers

Can't tell if serious...

 

[Sam Spade]

+ MAF with SO #7. Even against a garbage team like the Oilers a SO is impressive.

+ MVP Malkin. He was great the first half of the game.

+ Perron. He scored.

Everyone else, like the game itself, was just there.

Commented on the exact same thing the last few games. What makes it doubly troublesome is that the Pens acquired Perron to be that long missing guy for Sid who can make a play with the puck, and that really hasn't been his role on the line.
