Post-Game Talk: Penguins 4, Senators 0 - Pens Clinch #2 In Conference

[Ryder71]

Cole would start Desmith, so would Hanks. It's no big deal.

 

[EightyOne]

Like I said...

How dare you!

 

[ColePens]

You're not right. Not even close. If you want to believe playing the back up gives us the best chance to win then by that logic Desmith should start the playoffs also.

The 250th example of you not understanding how hockey works.

 

[PensandCaps]

How dare you!

Never been wrong.

Cole would start Desmith, so would Hanks. It's no big deal.

No one is saying that.

Aside from Andy99

I've forgotten more about hockey than you could ever understand. You have very little clue as to how the game works.

Season ending jam. Ya know, cause of the ups - downs.

 

[Beau Knows]

Gotta love people arguing over who knows hockey better...

That was his username or actual name?

Sometimes people forget who they are.

 

[Hockey Freak 7]

Is everyone fine with this? Comfortable with DeSmith as back up goalie?

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Here's hoping its Kuhn and not Jooris or ZAR that comes out when Brass is ready.

Not getting the Rust with Crosby hate.

 

[LOGiK]

But..but...but.......but....Legace never played for us.....

sad face ;(

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Malkin finishes with 98 points

Kessel with 92 points

Crosby with 89 points in a " down" year. Others have to bust their ass all 82 games to get to that number ...if they do. He coasted half the season and still got 89. But this is 4 years in a row now. Next year he needs to go all out and win the ART. Getting sick of hearing "only 2 art rosses" , ignoring the fact he would have won at least 3 more.

Hornqvist finishes 1 goal from 30 and 1 point from 50. To go along with everything else he brings.

Most of our guys played the whole year..with PH and Rust being the only ones missing some time. Weird season..our top guys didnt miss games but basically took games off to prepare themselves for the playoffs and still ended up with those point totals

Goal was obviously to stay as fresh as possible for another cup run, but Id like to see them push for some personal hardware next year.

Right! Lol. It awesome. Civil debates back and forth. I never see a honest civil place like this on the internet..

Yah. Like that Simpson meme says...I get why some people get confused.

 

[canadianguy77]

Is everyone fine with this? Comfortable with DeSmith as back up goalie?

I am. Murray gets the benefit of the doubt, until he puts the team in a hole because of poor play.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Rupp is still a big Pens fan. A shame he was on here for the wrong years. Under Bylsma.

Would have loved to see him, in his prime..on this team we had the past few years over Kuhn and Rowney.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Is everyone fine with this? Comfortable with DeSmith as back up goalie?

Yeah, I'm comfortable with Desmith as the Backup.

Its a small sample size, but hes played in 14 games and put up a 921 save percentage.

A lot of those games were when the pens were on the 2nd of b2b games as well.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Cole would start Desmith, so would Hanks. It's no big deal.

 

[FlightlessBird]

Division, not conference

 

[Ryder71]

I am. Murray gets the benefit of the doubt, until he puts the team in a hole because of poor play.

I think the bigger issue will be the defense in front of him.

 

[Peat]

Here's hoping its Kuhn and not Jooris or ZAR that comes out when Brass is ready.

Not getting the Rust with Crosby hate.

Eh, Kuhn's been pretty good too recently. I like Jooris' added flexibility and speed but wouldn't be upset if Kuhn won out over Jooris.

ZAR should be stapled to the line up though.

 

[ColePens]

I've forgotten more about hockey than you could ever understand. You have very little clue as to how the game works.

You said that playing DeSmith was dumb on many levels even though multiple examples of the league utilizing a back up appropriately (like tonight) worked. And you also claim to know about hockey, but all i see is negativity.

I'll say I agree to disagree with pretty much anything and everything you say. My history speaks for itself. Good day.

Crosby finishes the season with back to back 89 point seasons. I hope we still see more 100 point seasons but I dunno.
