Post-Game Talk: Pens 4, Habs 3 (OT) - Canadian Bacon II: CBC Calls Kunitz Lazy, Steigy Declares War

[Scandale du Jour]

Thank you Pens, I ruined my cousin's boyfriend NYE

 

[Ogrezilla]

Fleury had a poor game. I dont see how anyone can see otherwise.

you're wrong. I don't know what else to say.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Lol comparing price to fleury. Youre funny. If only fleury was half as good as him.

hey i usueally defend price, i'm just callin it like i see it. price was awful.

 

[KIRK]

Gotta give a - to the refs for turning a blind eye to Montreal after 3 consecutive penalties and their inexplicable nixing of a Geno-Kessel 2 on 1.

******* horrible, and exactly what I told you was coming.

Well, I think Geno's shoulder is healed. Heck of a game.

Said it before, will say it 100 times: Like Sid last year, the only thing that has 'ailed' Geno this year is Kunitz. Sooner Sully comes to accept it, the better off this team will be.

And, once again, MAJOR PROPS to CBC for specifically using the word LAZY to describe Kunitz's **** backcheck on the Habs third goal. Brings a tear to the eye to think at least someone in the sports media sees the truth.

 

[Pancakes]

I'm not a Maf fan but he was solid enough tonight. It could have been much worse with his awful rebound control but he made some big saves too. Kinda Maf in a nutshell I guess. Even when he is good it could have been bad.

Geno is effing ridiculous. He's been quietly dominating for a good while now. Just piling up points, strong two-way play, and being strong on the puck. I love his game right now.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Fleury was really good tonight imo.

 

[High Flying Birds]

Despite that kicked in goal, Fleury was good. Bailed out his teammates on several occasions.

Also, loved what I saw from Geno tonight. That big bomb of a one timer was missed. When he gets going, there's no one better imo. Good way to end a successful year for this team.

Happy news years to all. Be safe.

 

[ColePens]

Both goalies were great. Fun end to 2016.

 

[PensandCaps]

you're wrong. I don't know what else to say.

Awful rebound control. He got really lucky. Three stoppable goals. Bad game.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Fleury had a poor game. I dont see how anyone can see otherwise.

then you're just blindly hating on the guy. did you not remember the breakaway and 2v1 saves he made when it was 3-2?

you guys ***** that he always lets in the back breaker and never give him credit when he doesnt

 

[KIRK]

yep, keep those guys together. Man I would love to see Sid and Geno take the Rocket and Art Ross

Now all you need to do is find Sid an impact winger and ******** get rid of Kunitz. You want BALANCE. Here's BALANCE . . .

Sheary-Sid-IMPACT WINGER
HGH
Guentzel-Bones-Kessel
Wilson-Cullen-Rust

Both goalies were great. Fun end to 2016.

The third goal was unfortunate . . . an unfortunately typical Fleury, but you can't blame him on the other two. And, he made a number of great saves. My only concern, really, was his rebound control was dog**** for a lot of the night. But, it's a good win, it's the end of the year, and, yeah, you take it against that goalie.

Big props to Kessel there. He'd just shot from that same spot, so Price has to respect it. Kessel froze him for a split second and laid a perfect pass for a one timer, just like Gonchar used to do. That split second was all that's needed to get Geno a tiny corner, and he nailed it.

Thank you Pens, I ruined my cousin's boyfriend NYE

You broke him?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

you guys ***** that he always lets in the back breaker and never give him credit when he doesnt

Literally everybody but 1 poster is giving props to Fleury for his game tonight.

 

[Gold Diamond]

I absolutely love Malkin's blasts on a 4 on 3 PP. It's like a firing squad for the poor goalie tasked to stop it.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Awful rebound control. He got really lucky. Three stoppable goals. Bad game.

you're seriously calling the first one a bad goal. You've tipped your hand. I have no idea why I'm even responding because you have to be trolling with that one

 

[Fordy]

that malkin shot was sick

 

[StroShow]

Nice way to end 2016 , now let's use this long break to recharge and get Murray , Dumo , and Kuhn healthy.

 

[Ogrezilla]

then you're just blindly hating on the guy. did you not remember the breakaway and 2v1 saves he made when it was 3-2?

you guys ***** that he always lets in the back breaker and never give him credit when he doesnt

to be fair, its just one guy this time. and with him calling out the first goal now, I think he may be trolling us

It's hard to beat a good team with only two lines, but Pens did it.

Fehr, Wilson, Kunitz, and Bonino were largely invisible, except where Kunitz was visibly lazy or fumbling the puck. I don't know what else anyone could say about how bad he is.

Olli and Letang were OK after being sick and injured, respectively.

Rust didn't have a particularly good game, but he's playing out of place.

2nd line was a force all night.

On balance, Fleury was good, especially after the Pens went down 3-2.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Have to re-sign Schultz, sheary, Dumo, Pouliot, and Bonino.

We better repeat.

I thought the 4th line looked really good today actually. Wilson in particular. And Olli and Letang were way better than OK. Great game from them imo.

Only saw the last 10min. MAF made some big saves. That Geno goal was sweet.

I thought Wilson had a couple good shifts, but disappeared most of the time; Cullen was pretty good all night. Fehr was invisible, I thought. Not a big deal.

 

[BigBadBoris]

Price was awful. lets in a cross ice shot over the glove, lets a shot from the point in with less than a min in the game. Habs should trade him,

If you you thought Price was awful, that would make Fleury horrendous. Price is the best goalie in the world and showed it again tonight. He made a bunch of saves look easy that shouldn't have been.

 

[Al Smith]

Letang was great.

Considering he was out for a while, he looked pretty good, but OK by normal Letang standards. It seems to be this year, especially before he went out, he hasn't been the incredible, overpowering skater he's been in years past. Maybe he's got a lingering injury or maybe I'm hallucinating.
