GDT: Penguins @ Chicago - 20:00 EST - NBCSN/TVAS/Centre Ice

[dogthateats]

Most of those came a month ago. But yea, I’ve no doubt he’s not 100%

8 in his last 11. Should be better, but not as bad as people act.

 

[Bingo71]

would be pretty awesome for sid or geno or phil to show up tonight

Who?

 

[ColePens]

Which one was that?

Trying to remember the year. Who beat us in the playoffs that year?

I want to say 2014 playoffs because everyone swore up and down he was injured and then he played the Worlds. Everyone around here was livid.

 

[KIRK]

@ColePens, your Malkin example was WRONG.

Crosby, Malkin Will Play in World Championship

That was JR's first season. Geno had that bad ankle injury. He kept coming back too early to try to help the Pens stay in the playoffs. He was bad because he couldn't skate. And, the heart was 100% there all the way.

That situation was NOTHING like this.

 

[Corvidae]

It’s like they split Hal Gill into two players, one big and dumb and one slow as ****, and the reach and physical defense somehow got lost in the splicer.

It's also like the Scudill paring, except instead of looking terrible on paper and somehow working, it looks terrible on paper and is even worse in real life.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I bet tonight is like the Hawks best game of the season so far too.

 

[Andy99]

We still can’t get the puck out of our end, even though we’re losing...Chicago is aggressive and we’ve not taken advantage of it with some stretch passes etc...

 

[WayneSid9987]

Sheahan.
Putrid.
Puck management in our own zone.
Putrid.

 

[froods]

What a miserable shift by 15

 

[Lustaf]

Rust with the best game of his life and its going to be a loss.

Oof.

 

[The GM]

Someone needs to step up and give big game Bryan a break, he can’t be expected to carry the whole team

 

[AuroraBorealis]

3:30 left. We need to get this to OT

It's Chicago. GG.

 

[Gurglesons]

We still can’t get the puck out of our end, even though we’re losing...Chicago is aggressive and we’ve not taken advantage of it with some stretch passes etc...

It’s more just having one of Oleksiak, Maatta or Johnson back there.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Even saying he's a diet version of Hornqvist is insulting to Hornqvist.

yeah, he's more like a knockoff brand.

Like Polex

 

[WayneSid9987]

On the plus side, maybe Riiko can check back in after this one...

...maybe.

 

[turd]

3:30 left. We need to get this to OT

Chicago has tried everything they can to lose this game.


Unfortunately, we’ve tried harder.

 

[Bingo71]

What a miserable shift by 15

Riley Shithan.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

I don't even think the team cares.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

That situation was NOTHING like this.

Geno's biggest issue has always been not knowing when to rest his body when he should, I remember the guy constantly played in those IIHF WC tourneys even after battling through injuries and then this past summer he just decided, nah.

 

[Ryder71]

I guess managing the puck for this team is optional. Holy cow!

 

[Bingo71]

Chicago has tried everything they can to lose this game.


Unfortunately, we’ve tried harder.

Tomlin is giving Sully and the boys pointers.

 

[PensandCaps]

Oleksiak should 100% be a forward.

 

[pensfan71]

Someone needs to step up and give big game Bryan a break, he can’t be expected to carry the whole team

What about Big Game Brass...oh wait...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

yeah, he's more like a knockoff brand.

Like Polex

He's the Malk version to Hornqvist's Milk.

 

[chethejet]

I just think Sully is stuck with players who either are paid and no longer hustle for that contract or they just can't generate the level of interest and commitment to beat a poor team like this. Either way, they are ending their opportunity to stay together and do something special. Off season some real decisions will be made.

 

[Turin]

Sheahan.

I am really done with this player.
