Post-Game Talk: Penguins 6, Avalanche 3 - Torch in Limbo

[cheesedanish87]

The Pens have a major goalie issue.

Its hard to win when you go into almost every game with the worse goalie.

Your going to lose most of these games that are 50/50 games when your goalies blow.

-- Geno
-- Kessel
-- Rust

No one else is even worth talking about. But the above 3 minuses are players that simply can't be minuses with how our roster is constructed

 

[mpp9]

It'd be sweet if someone other than 87 would produce some offense with any regularity.

Malkin looks injured so I'll give him a pass. Effort was there.

Everyone else, you should be ashamed.

 

[Human]

Kessel plays like a wet noodle...

 

[WayneSid9987]

Paging one Phil Kessel and Geno Malkin.
Not good enough and constantly making shit plays on the PP as well.
Total fluke goal seals it for the Avs.
If Geno ISN'T hurt? Yikes.

 

[Will Hunting]

At least they are playing interesting games, that´s a positive. It´s all because of Sidney Crosby, that´s a negative in a way. The rest of the team literally sucks. Well, instead of Letang, he is another one who is playing his heart out there.

 

[Beauner]

Kessel is so so so so bad right now and I don't know what the solution is for him

 

[Pancakes]

Not really sure why anyone would be disappointed by that.

Jarry and Desmith will actively lose us points. Especially behind half of this defense.

Our forward group was absolutely fine tonight.

We are 3 - 1 - 2 in our last six.

Jarry I'll give you but Desmith has been pretty good? Not sure what more you want from him. 924 save percentage behind this defense is practically Vezina quality

 

[vodeni]

Brass and Kessel 1 shot on 11 against...

 

[3074326]

That ones on me. Ma bad guys. Saw that Sid had tied it so I turned the game on.

Come on dude wtf

+Sid
-the weight of the team on Sid's back, can't be good for it

 

[MrBurghundy]

Themes of the season so far happened again tonight.

1. Bad goaltending
2. Bad team defense
3. Secondary scoring?
4. Out-skated and out-worked

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

When you're down a goal and your coach throws out - Simon, Brassard, and ASTON-****ING-REESE???!?!?!????!

He's not the hero we want.

Or need.

But he's the hero we're gonna get.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Man I picked a bad time to quit drinking for a few weeks.

 

[Bingo71]

I hope Sully got his jollies from the plugger crew last night...

The team is a joke, a disgrace, an embarrassment. I don’t give a shit about back to backs or thin air, or how good the Avs are, this Pens team is dog shit. No defense, no goaltending, garbage bottom 6, Messel...

Wish I’d of went to bed but now I’m too pissed to...

 

[ImporterExporter]

Sid was there.

 

[PensandCaps]

I'll take the split.


The D is horrible. Pens are looking better though. Should've won this one. What a lucky goal on the 4th goal for the Avs.

Alot of missed calls on the Avs in the final 5.

 

[KIRK]

Not really sure why anyone would be disappointed by that.

That certainly is the glass half full perspective.

 

[SEALBound]

This was a fun game. Shame we didn't show up until the last minute of the 2nd.

It was a fun game until Rust or Geno try to pass out of Pearson in slot who can't do anything because the Avs dman is blatantly holding the stick...the puck goes by, Avs pick it up and score the 4th goal.

Then Letang is slewfooted and there's no call and it leads to the 5th empty net goal.

I didn't want to the refs to factor into a game that was this much fun...but they did.

 

[Beau Knows]

Kessel is so frustrating. When he's hot he makes defending the Penguins top 3 stars near impossible. When he's bad he is just horrendous.

 

[Pancakes]

One line team again.

Us or the Avs? Because outside of the Mackinnon line they looked just as barebones.

Unfortunately their d looks waayyyy better than ours

 

[domaug]

Crosby and Letang are literally the only players who played worth a damn for the Pens tonight.

outside of that, they don't have an NHL goaltender on the entire roster. the rest of their defense is baby shit soft. the rest of their forwards couldn't make a play to save their lives.

the Avs really only got two of their lines going for most of the game and it looked like they were skating circles around this Pens team.

the team is on the brink of giving up. Crosby isn't letting them.

 

[MeinerEiner]

A one line team beats a one player team. There is so much wrong with this team right now. We need goaltending, we need speed, we need skill, we need defense and we need a coach, who uses his brain. This team is not going to make the playoffs.

 

[KIRK]

I'll take the split.


The D is horrible. Pens are looking better though. Should've won this one. What a lucky goal on the 4th goal for the Avs.

I'll take 2 of 3 against the Jackets, Jets, and Avs, if only because it's 2 more than I expected.

 

[Pancakes]

The Pens have a major goalie issue.

Its hard to win when you go into almost every game with the worse goalie.

Your going to lose most of these games that are 50/50 games when your goalies blow.

Again I just don't know what more you guys want from Desmith.

If you're referring to Murray/Jarry, then yeah, they've been bad. But Desmith is doing fine.

you gave Brass a + he was on for 1 shot and 11 against....thats not gonna cut it

This ain't on Jarry.
They needed 1 or 2 PP goals.
