Post-Game Talk: Penguins 6, Islanders 2 - In Memory of He Who DegenX Says Shall Not Be Named

[Empoleon8771]

That 4th line hardly saw the ice in the 3rd. I wonder if someone had a chat with Sullivan this morning.

That's not a good thing for Sullivan to be doing in a blowout. Sullivan's unwillingness to use the 4th line, dating back to even when he who must not be named was on it, has been a huge problem.

I missed the game thread, what's with the Vince mc gifs

We're doing it for @Clare2904 since she's such a fan . . .

Would be nice, considering the amount of $ we spend on defense. Most in the NHL, I think?

certainly too much.

Man, Colby ArmSprong. Highlight of the post game.

That first line is seriously good, but with the rest of the lineup as bad as it is, moving Guentzel down with Brassard may not be a terrible idea as they have looked good together.

Rust - Crosby - Kessel
Pearson - Malkin - Hornqvist
Guentzel - Brassard - ZAR (meh)

Sid and Phil together opens a lot of possibilities. PERSONALLY, if Pearson stops Plotnikoving like he has the last two games, you could go Simon-Brass-Horny. Maybe you give Rust one last chance with Geno-Pearson. Or maybe you make a RW your priority.

Conversely, you COULD be a 4 line team . . . Jake-Sid-Phil, ???-Geno-Horny, Pearson-Brass-Rust, ZAR-Sheahan-Simon.

It should be noted, prior joke aside . . . Pearson has been pretty brutal the last 2-3 games.

Plotnikov is still way overboard even for Pearson's bad games. He still got an assist and played well enough that his line could score 4 goals last game, right?

 

[Turin]

Sid looks better than he did at any point last season.

Man, Colby ArmSprong. Highlight of the post game.

He could have sleep apnea.

This was a good game for the boys. Save the lacks goal shorthanded and a little bit of getting hemmed in our D zone in the 3rd you got to be happy with what you saw. And this is a team who handed it to us pretty decisively the last time they were here. Feels good.

well they aren't good. Neither are our 3rd line wings right now.

Looks like he's in playoff mode early.

Guentzel Crosby Kessel

JR should bring in a better forward then.

Ayyy @Honour Over Glory...Brass 57% in the dot!

 

[mpp9]

Gibson's reaction to that last Sid goal.

 

[Andy99]

Sid looks better than he did at any point last season.

Except for that thing on top of his lip...

You were playing footsies with @Scandale du Jour?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Pls trade Maatta and let Riikola get back in the lineup.

Pettersson is good btw, I really like what I've seen from him. If he adds more bulk and further develops his offensive game, watch out.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

3rd most

Are you talking currently, or with Schultz in the picture?

 

[Clare2904]

Shame there was no hatty tonight and Horny died

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Ayyy @Honour Over Glory...Brass 57% in the dot!

Just gotta keep playing against teams that have an off night.

How is Letang keeping a straight face with Poman?
