-Adams
-Crosby, he needs to be much better
-Our PP still sucks ass
+Literally everything else

Great game overall

 

[Asuna]

Penguins are a Craig Adams away from rolling 4 legitimate lines. So thats' cool.

 

[gdsmack267]

Someone on the last page of GDT said Sutter was the best player on the ice. What game did you watch?

 

[xMOHAWKx98]

great game all around. sids line could of been better. and sid shoot the dang puck!

 

[Will Hunting]

They absolutely dominated the first 30 minutes, like men vs boys. Then they realized that the game is over and there is another game tomorrow. I just hope that we play like this in the playoffs but for a 60 minutes. This team still has it, the Wings were embarrassed tonight. They are overrated and overranked for sure, I would love this PO matchup but it´s not likely to happen.

Just a solid win against an actual good team with lots of secondary scoring - hasn't happened in a while.

 

[penguins2946*]

Penguins are a Craig Adams away from rolling 4 legitimate lines. So thats' cool.

No, they're a Daniel Winnik away from having 4 legit lines. Just imagine these lines:

Kunitz-Crosby-Perron
Comeau-Malkin-Hornqvist
Winnik-Sutter-Bennett
Spaling-Lapierre-Downie

That's a great lineup.

 

[chethejet]

Pens had some nice jump and played like a big boy team. No real negatives but the Pouliot PT has to end when Ehrhoff returns. Next couple of weeks will tell what this team is capable off. MAF was really solid.

 

[MtlPenFan]

Letang is the key and culprit on the PP.

It's not all on him, but it starts with him. If he was a better shooter and not so indecisive, there wouldn't be a need for a lot of those extra passes.

That's a great lineup.

but we all know adams will be in the line up.

 

[TNT87]

Good to see them bounce back after stinking up the place against Vancouver. Returning from a long road trip, that first game at home is tough but they beat a quality opponent tonight.

Great to see Blake out there again and contributing.

What? Pouliot looked fine tonight.

but we all know adams will be in the line up.

Winnik does literally everything Adams does, but better and he does a lot more. There is absolutely no justification to have him in with Winnik in the lineup.

 

[Gallatin]

Interesting game for Depres. Unless I missed a couple of big plays, he seemed fairly average tonight. Which is nothing to sneeze at given his up and down play lately. I will mos def take it.

That's a great lineup.

But we all know that Craig Adams will never sit, so while Winnik (+13 on that laughable team, wow) would solidify us, the ideal lineup just won´t happen. Anyway, Bennett needs to show more while he has a chance to do that because the time is probably running down for him with TDL nearing. Winnik would probably just take his spot if he were acquired tonight..

He did, but at this point Bortuzzo doesn't even look like a #7 right now.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Good that the right personel was in tonight and they played a very good game. Exactly what i wanted to happen.

Now don't be mad if Sill is plugged in on a back to back. K?

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

I hope they play this well tomorrow night. Going to my first Pens game after winning some tickets from work.

Malkin's line was great. I was worried Comeau would be really rusty and pull one of his disappearing acts after a long injury but he was very good.

 

[Sam Spade]

I am at work and had to listen on the radio sounded like a nice beat down until the third (to be expected).

I didn't hear Crosby's name much past the first, did he play well? How did BB look?

Malkins line was beast!!

Wings would be the PERFECT playoff opponent because they have to be one of the least physical teams in the NHL.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

- another fine game from DP

- I dunno what Crosby's doing anymore. The spinning backhand off the boards into the slot right to a Wing, in his own zone, was a real sizzler. I think Sid is so advanced that maybe he is playing a period ahead and we are all just stuck behind in the present.

- the Wings are so stacked with skilled fwds and their fans should be thankful their org understands there is a big old continent elsewhere that plays hockey also.

- I'm pretty stoked because it's been eating at me for months who the Discover Card "Frog Protection" guy reminds me of. I couldn't put my finger on it until tonight... It's ****ing Rob Rossi.

The whole D wasn't overly noticeable tonight but I thinks that's a good thing. Not a lot of mistakes, good positioning and made the right simple plays. Solid all round game

 

[Dick Sledge]

+ JR

All of our goals were from guys he acquired.

 

[Asuna]

No, they're a Daniel Winnik away from having 4 legit lines. Just imagine these lines:

Kunitz-Crosby-Perron
Comeau-Malkin-Hornqvist

That's a great lineup.

I mean...I meant with Adams out of the lineup, they can roll 4 lines.

Guess I worded that wrong.

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

These lines though...

Generally its the second game thats usually the toughest when coming back from a long absence but he certainly didnt miss a beat.
