Post-Game Talk: Pens 3, Yotes 2 - The Thank God It Was Arizona Edition

[Mr Jiggyfly]

looked like slightly better ice time for beau. I missed the first 50 minutes - how did he look?

BB has put a couple of strong games together. He was getting second unit PP time and is starting to look more confident and more like himself.

Both he and Spaling have been taking the body as well as anyone on the team the last few games. I'd say Kunitz has been the only one better.

Funny you should ask. We were instructed by a DK Tweet to "isolate on BB every shift!" In a Mackey-worthy attempt to build a swell of anti-BB sentiment amongst fans....

Hilariously, BB had one of his stronger games in weeks IMO.

Glad it blew up in his face.

 

[Waffle Fries]

We all need to pray to the hockey gods: Please leave winnik on the top line. Please leave kunitz and letang on the second power play.

More like we need to pray to the hockey gods that Letang will be back this season. I'll take him on the first power play over not playing at all 100 times out of 100.

 

[plaidchuck]

Under bylsma they looked bad without letang, I can only imagine what they will look like without him now under mr whl.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

It's a hard board to know if people are being sarcastic or not.

If there is any doubt, there is no doubt.

Don't even lurk here, or watch the Pens, I just know crappy players when I see them.

Good ****ing grief ...

Good thing Charlie Brown didn't talk that way





- I missed the game
+I missed the game

The highlights on NHL.com show Letang's face. Man that looked like a bad one. He's going to have a very sore back and neck on top of that too. I hope he doesn't force himself back into the lineup right away. Keep him out until the last game or two of the season at least.

 

[billybudd]

The Pens once hired a coach who did not speak a word of English to make Jagr happy. I think that he just pointed a lot and drew stick figures on a board.

So it could be worse.

Far as I can tell he just chain smoked outside Mellon on the balcony above employee parking. If he talked to the team at all, it wasn't during intermissions.

 

[djt153]

honestly, characters like that made hockey more fun.

 

[IcedCapp]

so, uh, if Letang is out, it's time to LTIR Ehrhoff so they don't play 5D, right?

And this is how the Ian Moran phase of Adams' career begins.

that typo from ROOT last week wasn't a typo, it was foreshadowing.

This was the plan all along.


I wonder what Mark Eaton is up to

I wonder what Mark Eaton is up to

Sitting on his couch eating potato chips, waiting for Ray Shero to get hired somewhere.

hanging around the Anaheim practice rink like a groupie

We should be so lucky

hanging around the Anaheim practice rink like a groupie

No, I didn't mean you...



Whatever you guys do, don't bump the Mark Eaton signing thread.

For the second time in just over a week the Pittsburgh Penguins faced the Arizona Coyotes and for the second time they struggled to beat them. Last week in Phoenix they edged out a 3-1 win thanks in part to a fluke goal by Sutter and an Empty net goal by Sidney Crosby. Today they won thanks to a dominant performance by Crosby in the third period which helped change the game in the Penguins favour with them scoring three goals 4:08 minutes apart.

The Penguins dominated on the shots again but Mike Smith stood firm to deny the Penguins as much as possible, including some acrobatic saves. The Penguins were buoyed by the return of Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist before the game, which softened the blow of Perron missing out due to illness, but their first period play felt flat. The first period was quite even with the shots only just 14-13 in Pittsburgh's favour and the Coyotes wasted a good chance to go in the lead with a 5 minute power-play after Comeau was ejected due to what was perceived to be a boarding major.

didn't really blow up, he just quit retweeting them once they all became positive

 

[IcedCapp]

yeah, blowing up in his face insinuates he was doing anything other than trying to bash Bennett

 

[DoktorZaius]

In DK's defense, he did put up a positive tweet...but yeah, he seemed to lose interest in the experiment pretty quickly once BB started putting in a strong game.

 

[joeyjake5]

I hate to rain on everybody's parade, but the pens just beat the dessert rats by one goal, definitely not a playoff team. Probably the W-Bs would have won by two goals.

If Letang is done for the season, they are cooked anyways.

It's pretty clear what he was doing and things didn't go the way he was hoping.

I wonder why he lost interest in his little experiment?

I do not think that you have been reading here or you would know that no one has a parade to rain on. I don't think that the player's own mothers give them a chance of winning the first round of the playoffs.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

This team isn't going to win anything if the injury trend doesn't change, no matter what they do with the roster and coaching. At this point idk what you do about it, you've got to figure that it's a drain on the rest of them, too.

mmm, dessert rats

Sweeter than regular rats.
