Post-Game Talk: Penguins 4, Red Wings 1 - The Playoffs Edition

[Gurglesons]

So if we lose to NYR and the Canes beat Philly we drop down to a wild card? I don't care for that at all

Why? Caps or Isles. We can beat both of them.

Plus knocking out the Caps in the 1st instead would be fun.

 

[2wayPlay]

Congrats Pens now grab at least 1 point Saturday and face the Isles

Really good game, what a difference having Letang and Geno makes.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

They did a pretty nice job limiting chances against tonight. Being home and getting matchups plays a part. I expected with Letang's first game back this would be a riverboat gambling kind of night.

Phil and Sid both looked good offensively. I hope we haven't burned out Sid in the last month or two. If Geno could win faceoffs, Phil would have 5 more goals a year.

This team needs Dumo badly. We have Schultz as a somewhat passable backup top pair RD, we have no one vaguely capable of doing what Dumo does. I hope he's ok soon.

++ Phil
++ Murray
+ Sid getting some points

- Rust...MIA
- Schultz...he’s taking over top spot for defender with his head furthest up his ass right now...

+ clinching a playoff spot


- I'm sorry i just don't like Tyler Bertuzzi's face

Couldn’t agree more

I do not want to play Washington.

Not that I am afraid of them, it is just that I am sick of seeing them every year.

 

[chethejet]

pens are in a you never know what can happen. I like the Pens roster but Kessel and Horny have to bring it. Turn around trade with Florida almost makes up for the disaster of the Brassard deal.

I think with them missing Kempny and is getting Letang back that we would crush the Caps.

They’d come in with ego and there is no chance this squad loses to them after what they did last year.

I agree. I.still do not want to play them. Sick of them.

i think it's going to be a loooooot closer than you think it'll be. i don't want the Caps honestly (i think the Pens can beat them in a close series but I'm just sick of seeing their ugly mugs)

 

[66-30-33]

It's come down to Isles or Caps who we play in r1.

 

[Gurglesons]

I agree. I.still do not want to play them. Sick of them.

We’re likely playing them regardless if we get past round 1.

It’s always close.

Good thing about playing them in the 1st is we are healthy.

 

[LOGiK]

I actually want caps round 1.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

What scenario needs to play out for us to play the Caps? I thought it was pretty much a certainty we're playing the Isles?

 

[PensandCaps]

ah but i was told all year by the toughness wanting people and the downers, that we were gonna miss the playoffs

 

[Scandale du Jour]

We’re likely playing them regardless if we get past round 1.

I hope the Canes can beat their sorry ass.

I want this to be true...#doubtit

 

[PensandCaps]

Ill take nyi allll day over Washington.

Fucccck dealing with that powerplay.

Plus, I think Carolina can beat them if they get lucky

 

[LOGiK]

Isles won.

 

[66-30-33]

Isles win, they get home ice for sure now.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Panthers with some real garbage shot attempts in that shootout, shame.

 

[66-30-33]

Isles won.

Caps/Isles going to be a boring game, they will both rest their good players.

 

[Andy99]

So the only thing to be decided Saturday is whether we’re 3 seed or WC1?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Shootouts are awful anyway. Give me 3-on-3 for 20 minutes. I don't care if you need to have oxygen on the benches. Don't @ me
