Good game DeSmith. Fought off some charges.
Team...did what they had to do to win.
And with that...the Pens leap into the playoffs...

My premise was solid. Because we won I'm not gonna change my mind. In games that matter you should play your best players, it's that simple and that easy.

Congrats to DeSmith on his first career shutout.
Now I will savor these next few days, prior to the best postseason in all of sports, when my nerves aren't out of control and my heart is beating out of my chest.

To be fair, you could replace Ryder with like 90% of the posters here and it would still apply.Ryder is right no matter what.

Orrrr maybe you should be less definitive in your negativity. Because you were dead wrong. And not just a little wrong. Flat out dead wrong.

I’d really like to see them give Sprong another chance on Sid’s RW...would solve a lot of issues if they won’t play Horny there....wouldn’t hurt to let him practice with the team for the POs, not as a Black Ace. Then Rust could move down and play with players who actually enhance his game...
Ok..dreaming...won’t happen

The laughable part of the internet. Even when you have it shoved right in your face, you can just turn a blind eye.
- Geno not getting 100 points but getting in lots of niggle. Punish them where it really hurts Geno - on the scoreboard.
- My near heart attack when Letang went down hard on his shoulder. It would be so Letang to go nearly an entire season fit then get injured with three minutes left in an already won game 82.
- Throwing crap in front of the net. Both our ends and theirs - too many optimistic passes for double-marked guys in front of the net when we were boxed out, too many nice chances for them once it got behind ours.
- The Rush. Other than the last one, I don't think we scored direct on an odd man rush at all and I feel that's the story of the season. We destroyed other teams there last season.
+ DeSmith's shut out. Thank Odin we got away with this appalling tactical decision.
+ Bank shots. Every goaltender we face will be crapping themselves when the puck goes behind them and they can't see it.
+ Shots from the point. Loved Oleksiak's, love the chaos we cause doing so.
+ 4th line - they started in our zone and finished the action in their zone; all one can ask other than goals
+ Commitment. They really wanted that clean sheet.
+ Penalty kill. Hopefully they build some confidence from that.

I like our posters so that’s not fair. We have a great board.
-I got a feeling we are going to get NJ in Round 1, which is probably the hardest matchup of the 3.
-Flyers are down to their 3rd and 4th string goalies

I love your honest opinions from observations of the games here and there..
You need to be more positive and just pray they tighten up D ,coaching staff do better, Letang stop being awful in which he will be and whatever else to 3- peat if not it will be another season to win a cup..
winning a Stanley cup is hard and brutally..
It is what it is with this team in this particularly season.. yes their is a lot of negatives and hell lot of positives..
I realize this team might not have the identity they once had and it frustrating to see and watch.. no point of calling it out anymore like we have.. you do every game since I decided to make a account.. I don’t see positive comments from you sometimes it only should be faith in them right now .. they clinched the playoffs and home advantage.. all you can do is hope and place positive vibes for them to be better than this in playoffs after long two years and long brutal scheduling season..
You don’t have to reply .. if you don’t want.. it’s fine..

100 point season with that level of inconsistency and pacing says a lot about how lucky we are.

You're apparently having trouble comprehending, because I'm not wrong and it's not an issue predicated on opinion. It's about common sense. And in that context, when you play a meaningful game you play your best players. Again, just because we got away with it, doesn't prove anything. I even said early on in the GDT we'd likely get away with it. Doesn't make it a smart decision. It has nothing to do with Desmith or Murray specifically. It has to do with playing the best player available.

Yup. I did not like our line up last playoffs a majority of the time. I didn’t **** and moan about it, just enjoyed the ride (even though tense at times)
