Post-Game Talk: Pens 4, Jets 1: Was This Kunitz's Last Game as a Penguin?

[KIRK]

Let us pray . . .

Oh, and a nice win. A bit sloppy, but when 2 points are so desperately needed, you don't argue too much over style points.

4 goals with no points from Sid or Geno is a rare thing for us. I'll take the W.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I hate Kunitz so much. That is all.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Fleury played well.

Crosby and Malkin 0 points and a win????

Reimer no longer a leaf

Kunitz will be a penguin still

 

[sf expat71]

We can't be using religion as a crutch. We have to get rid of Kunitz ourselves.

 

[PensandCaps]

Cole looked good.

 

[Malkinstheman]

We have a little bit of breathing room now. Hopefuly det loses today and we win against phoenix on monday. We should be able to take the first wild card spot

 

[deakka]

Pouliot was a beast today. It looks so effortless for him to move the puck up the ice. Now, if he could just get PP time with the first unit.....

And i really have to go to bed now, gonna have nightmares of me waking up and seeing we have aquired Russel for a 2nd round pick, please dont come true.

 

[Jacob]

Out of the 15 or so times Kunitz touched the puck he made a decent play on it 3 times. Hornqvist isn't great with the puck, you can't have the other guy on that line be a guaranteed turnover.

+ Fleury, Hagelin, Kessel, Rust, Kuhnhackl, Crosby, Cole

 

[Pancakes]

Cole and Pouliot had nice games.

 

[sf expat71]

In all seriousness, the effect Geno has on his two wingers is crazy. They are so much better today than they were for basically the whole time Geno was hurt, and their missing chemistry is suddenly back.

 

[Matsun]

Do we HAVE to bring up Kunitz in every Post-Game Thread?

Anyway.
+ A lot of guys
+ Daley for the pass to Sid
+ Sullivan for starting Kuhn over Porter

 

[Ugene Magic]

Get Maatta some rest.

++ Hagelin
+Fleury bailed them out early.
+Wilson, Rust, Kuhnhackl
+Letang

- D-zone recovery is horrible

 

[mpp9]

Cole looks fine to me. No need to add anything more than depth at the position. Especially if they think Lovejoy will be back soon. Otherwise, pursue buying low or hockey deals.

 

[orby]

I'm gonna say there's absolutely no chance Kunitz gets moved. I'll be stunned if he is.

++Hagelin
+Pouliot
+Cole
+Kessel
+Letang
+Bonino

[Koempel]

As always, **** first, good second and decent third period. Props to Hagelin for a great game, love the little plays between Kessel and him. Also digging Kuhnhackl more and more as a useful NHLer. Cole also seems to be getting some confidence back and at least showed he can still be serviceable. Thanking Fleury for keeping the Jets at bay.

- Kunitz. I know it is tiring that every second post is ridiculing him, but he is so uninspiring. Hornqvist wasn't very good, but at least he keeps working. Kunitz always seems two steps behind the play these days.

- Death of Sheary

 

[DoktorZaius]

Mainly just glad that G is back.

Big + to Hags and Flower.

Huge - to our goal song.

In all seriousness, the effect Geno has on his two wingers is crazy. They are so much better today than they were for basically the whole time Geno was hurt, and their missing chemistry is suddenly back.

As I said in the GDT, imagine when Geno gets his game legs back. We got a glimpse of it in the third.

 

[sf expat71]

Kuhn is an NHLer. As is Wilson. And Rust goes without saying.

[MtlPenFan]

We've been on the other end of games like these far too often where the other team scores on every second scoring chance and we can't buy a break. I'm not gonna complain one bit.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Decent effort all around except for one Chris Kunitz and i'm pretty sure Horny is playing with an injury.

 

[sf expat71]

As I said in the GDT, imagine when Geno gets his game legs back. We got a glimpse of it in the third.

They had so much room to work, it was night and day. If they can finish at a reasonable pace (not expecting 2 goals from Hags too often) that will be a really fun line to watch. I thought Geno was fumbling the puck a little in the first and second, but by the third I feel like his rhythm was back.

 

[IcedCapp]

- people who only watch when Geno is playing and call themselves Pens fans

 

[Ugene Magic]

Mainly just glad that G is back.

Big + to Hags and Flower.

Huge - to our goal song.

I actually like it. It does tend to be something Bucco esk, but it isn't anything like they have been using.
