Post-Game Talk: Penguins 4, Bruins 2 - A Huge Win

[Turin]

Beat the hottest team in the NHL in regulation without Letang. Nice.

 

[ronduguayshair]

Starting to believe in this team. Huge win against one of the top three teams in the east.

Nice game from first line. Still want more from the second line.

Tirico is such a talent.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Good team win.

Only complaint i got is Trotman.

Hes gotta sit next game, hes costing this team goals.

 

[Ryder71]

I thought Teddy had a very good game tonight. Hopefully Sully gives him a long look with Geno.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

God damn can McCann play some hockey.

+ not getting Halak’d
+ beating Boston

 

[2wayPlay]

Great win but man 40 shots and way to pinned in for the 2nd and 3rd. We need Letang back where the hell is he at?

 

[Fatty McLardy]

If Sully takes Blooger off the 2nd line. Then he's an ass..

 

[PensandCaps]

Blueger is mini Guentzel. Makes so mamy little smart plays.

Got Malkin and Kessel looking good too. Should be a top 9 staple hes a very good player.

Way better than Sam Bennett

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

+Murray, Jake, McCann, and Sid
+Defense

++++McCann saying how humble he is that the Pens want him. Just another reason why hockey has the best athletes.

The Penguins are still at an 85% chance at making the playoffs according to McCurdy's models. Not getting a point for the first time in 6 games isn't a reason to start freaking out about missing the playoffs.

Hah, yes. I was thinking that there's a few posters who could do with reading this thread as I went through it.

In fairness, Sully's line combos are easy to criticise because he changes them so regularly that sooner or later he's going to do something you hate

Personally I think's been decent enough, probably league average. There's things he hasn't handled so great - the PP struggles, the Malkin-Kessel thing, maybe coulda handled Sprong/Brassard better - and there's been things that have gone very

I think we played better than 4-2.

I want THIS Murray dialed in for the playoffs. Murray is at that cusp of being able to put together a MASSIVE hot streak come playoff time. Cultivate this performance and confidence Sully.

Pretty solid win against a really good team. All without Letang and Maatta.

Yep.

Great win! 6 points in 3 tough games here, I'll take that.

Yep.

MM was on fire!

JJ playing well, thank God!

Yep and yep.

thank you, I thought this was our best game ina long time, Muzz was solid but up until the end I did not see any glorious chNCES, Pens with a ton great chances...

 

[Pancakes]

Huge win.

+ Bjugstad. Secondary scoring to get us started and he's been real solid defensively.

+ Mccann. Bury the empty netter, and what a sick SHG. He's looked so good.

+ Sid. Wow is #87 good at both ends of the rink. He's just dominant all year.

+ Murray. First star. He's been big back there. Big game Matt shows up again.

+ Geno. Had an up and down game but he was terrific in the third.

+ Our entire d unit. All of these guys are doing what they need to right now. Simple but effective hockey.

+ Blueger. Looked good no matter where we put him. What else is there to say? He's Guentzel-lite.

+ Jake. Speaking of...just continues to produce, and I love his decision making all over the ice. He rarely makes a bad play.

+ Simon. Was having a good game. Sucks he got hurt apparently.

- Powerplay. It almost lost us this game. We need it to be better. Even on the Guentzel goal yeah great play by Sid/Jake but just prior to that there was a 3 on 2 heading our way and the Bruins almost scored. Hugely different game if we give up a SHG there which we nearly did. These guys have to support each other better out there and have to be willing to dump pucks in on occasion if there is no play. Stop forcing shit.

 

[TheGuiminator]

McCann is a true gem! Now keep him on the first line damnit!

Good team effort tonight, huge win !

 

[Night Shift]

Wasn't able to see the game but I called it last night.

Did Gudzilla at least smash and turn Chara into a 3 foot midget?

 

[Gurglesons]

Beat the hottest team in the NHL in regulation without Letang. Nice.

Nah it’s because we didn’t have Letang.

@SouthGeorge

 

[Bingo71]

Find a way to tighten up the D, Murray keep playing the way he is, Phil and Geno get going, and the PP gets fixed and this team could go places...

We’ll see

 

[66-30-33]

Trotman can f*** off any time now.

good to see Blueger tried with Malkin...my plan is coming together nicely!

 

[Nakawick]

Murray was told to burden the load for the stretch run and he is delivering. Dude thrives when the pressure is on, just like all bums.

 

[ImporterExporter]

How in the blue f*** is Trotman in the NHL?

Once again JJ and Guds were really solid.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Getting Rust back would be huge

 

[ronduguayshair]

Also let’s give credit to the coaching staff. First off starting Murray paid off and then some prudent line shuffling and power play changes.

Amazing how good we look we above average goaltending

 

[Shady Machine]

Murray was a stud. I don’t know what the advanced stats will say, but I saw a lot of quality chances in this one. He was reall dialed in. His play of late gives me faith this team can contend if some things fall their way.

 

[PensandCaps]

Except he looked just like ZAR.

Glad they’re making a change though.

YOU DEMON!

you're just messing with everyone now.

I've done the same.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Moose with a well deserved win.

McCann needs to teach the rest of the team how to shoot on an empty net.

 

[TNT87]

I like Tirico as a play by play announcer. I thought he did a good job for being so new to calling hockey games.
