Post-Game Talk: Penguins 4, Islanders 1 - What The **** Was That?

[AuroraBorealis]

This is a true statement lol. I wanted to have a full free weekend to spend time with family. And I f***ing miss the greatest game. Dammit.

So you were the problem all along. Mods, seize this man!

Don’t jinx us with a late discovered injury!

 

[dogthateats]

It is, though I got into it in my late teens and early twenties when it came out. I no longer partake in the ganja, but it was good when paired with that as well.

I need to watch it one day. I really like the midnight gospel

Last game was the end of the era, blow the team up, and this game we're a Cup contender. Never change HF. It was a good game and shows the potential of the team when the lines are MORE in sync and when they play as a team instead of individuals for 60 minutes. It's about consistency and until they find it we're just a perimeter team on the outside looking in. Pixies mentioned what he saw from L2 was commitment; I think that's it. That line was fighting to make it work for eachother and you saw that from the team too. I'm concerned about goaltending and the fourth line, and I'm not sure L1 is going to work out. Sullivan took an infuriatingly long time to make any change and I still think he's an issue, but it was a good win.

+ Matheson, obviously
+ Rust
+ Jarry

- Guentzel. I think worst game I’ve seen him play this year. He was the problem on L1, that and Kappy adjusting to Sid.
- Jank. I wanted to be optimistic, but he is awful and a big problem with the bad PK as well. I would love to run Blugs/ZAR and McCann/Kappy on the PK.
- Matt Martin

I’m glad Jarry got a good win. I’m still concerned about how much blue paint I see in front of him, rather than blue paint behind him. I hope he uses this game as a catalyst to get his confidence being rebuilt. Because if he was challenging the puck and loosing, that’s one thing, but sitting in the net and loosing is another. Hopefully he uses this game to turn a corner.

Man the Islander fans are really riled up about the Matheson hit on Barzal. Then, it’s lol stuff like Malkin and Crosby are generational bitches, Crosby should have gotten third man in, I want to see someone knock Malkin out cold, we need to dress some goons...really hard not to troll them.

That hit was a penalty but it was really nothing.

 

[Tom Hanks]

We found why Zucker scored. It only took 2 mins to come to fruition from the main boards GDT

Jason Zucker.
What in the hell happened to THAT guy?

He can't even buy a goal, on sale, with a 25% off coupon...

You were saying? lol

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

Arvidsson.

He doesn't have long pants.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

I agree Barzal shifted twice and had no leverage to balance himself. Two minute penalty is fine.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

I know it's an over payment but ZAR and Dumo for Connor McDavid. He's a legit 4th line center.

Matheson injured Boychuk and threw a dirty stick on Nelson in last year’s playoffs.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Wait, when did the Islanders fanbase turn into Philly? Holy shit the comments on our stars are nuts. "Malkin is a special ed guy from Ukraine" like when did they start dragging knuckles?

 

[canadianguy77]

Gonna be very interesting decision once Dumo is back. He is gonna be played, that´s for sure, for better or worse. Matheson is a lock to play too, as he should be and his ice-time suggests that too. Gonna be between Petts and POJ. I really like POJ, even if he came back to Earth, he is still very solid. I would scratch Petts but it is a tough tough call. And a close one. Maybe to scratch Ceci instead? He is playing very well too and is a RD so I don´t see that. Tough decision, I almost wish that Dumo doesn´t come back, we don´t miss him at all now as it is.

You can already see Sullivan’s influence on POJ. The kid is playing a more safe and boring game than he was a few weeks ago.

 

[dogthateats]

They are probably upset that this is their logo

 

[Pens x]

It was fantastic that Jarry only allowed one goal tonight.

Matheson looked good as well.

Go Pens

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

lol everyone is so high off of the team's first clear victory.

Need someone better defensively

We’ve dunked on the Isles for years and cheap shot a lot of their players during the Bylsma years.

Yeah I think it’s pretty obvious POJ is getting benched the second Dumo is back.

Go Pens

How about that 3rd line?

You would be upset also if your team hasn't won a Cup since 1983! Many of their fans aren't old enough to remember a Cup celebration. Hell, you guys are unbearable and we won 5 Cups since 91.
