Post-Game Talk: Pens beat flyers 7-6

[Zirakzigil]

Actually, for the long term it'd be better if we lost. We're not going anywhere, but it was entertaining.

There is no long term with Sid and Geno around. A late 1st round pick or mid round pick is not going to stop what will be a scorched earth rebuild.

Sidney Patrick Crosby is a hockey god among kittens who bashes Philly over the skull with heavy mining equipment and leaves them bleeding in the moonlight.

 

[Malkinstheman]

This team is really gonna go on a little run before the deadline and then completely collapse after huh

 

[Ugene Magic]

What the hell did I just watch?

 

[Ryder71]

Seven points back of the Flyers with four games and a max of eight points in hand. Doable, but very challenging with a Pacific Northwest swing through Vancouver, Seattle, Calgary and Edmonton coming.

lol Wait a min, you don't seriously believe this team has a prayer to make the playoffs do you?

 

[Beau Knows]

Nice to get the win, but not exactly the most impressive game there...

Flyers fans must be so tired of Crosby

 

[BusinessGoose]

That was hilarious

 

[OnMyOwn]

They took an assist away.

So 4 points. Still an awesome showing for him.

I think it's unlikely but not impossible.

But it's better to start accruing assets now to add to that. And for Jake a 1st is only one component to what we'll receive.

2012 playoff throwback game minus the blood feuds.

Frankly I don't care about anything other than Sid racking up stats at this point. I want 50 goals!

 

[PensPlz]

Send Ned to Philly for a 1st. They need him.

Send Jarry to whoever for whatever.

 

[Ryder71]

I think it's unlikely but not impossible.

We play Vancouver next. lol

 

[wheelz87]

-first of. was a MUST regulation win. 2 points baby.
-it was weenie hut jr vs super weenie hut jr in net. Thankfully Peterson is god awful.
-how is Marc staal still playing?
-speaking of anchors. Graves absolutely blows.
-if Rust is out long term were cooked. Like officially.

Is Crosby still a top 10 player? Top 5?

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

[DesertedPenguin]

We play Vancouver next. lol

And this team has actually looked better against the best teams in the league compared to its play versus the middle of the pack or crappy teams.

Top 15 player. not bad 4 a 36 yr old.

We'll lose three of four on this road trip, at least.

The f***ing feckers did it again! Its the 4th or 5th point they stolen from him this season. Fecking feck! The flyers player did not have possession of the puck so it was a good assist unless they changed the rules! Not sure how they could roll the dice 4-5 times and Sid comes up on the losing end so many times!

 

[Andy99]

Still bizarre to start a goalie that hasn't been good vs the Flyers and sitting the one that has been amazing vs them.

Pens hadn't played in a few days so, Ned would have been fine. That's the typical ignorance by this coach. He will match goalies to teams they're good against and then seemingly not at all. Not sure what the plan was, assuming this ignorant twat of a coach actually plans, to go this route.

Ned is down right elite vs the Flyers yet they sat him for Jarry who has been pedestrian vs the Flyers.

If I throw my jersey on the ice in Vancouver, will it get Mike Sullivan fired? It worked the other way last time for the Canucks. I can try Tuesday.

Please hold up a Fire Sullivan sign at the Canucks game…Dubas needs to know fans will hold him accountable lol

 

[WickedWrister]

Absolutely mandatory that we didn't let the Flyers get a consolation point.

7 points back of Philly with 4 games in hand.

 

[Coastal Kev]

I'm not a chef, but what I'm good at is making a decent meal and then taking the leftovers the next day and recreating them into a new tasty meal.

Carter is double poop.

 

[ETA]

Glad we won but can we still fire the coaching staff...?

 

[TheGuiminator]

Of course Crosby loses an assist.. can't compile

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

I'll always take a win against Philly, but I can't help but think they'll be lucky to score three total on the circus trip after that glut.

Sidney Patrick Crosby is a hockey god among kittens who bashes Philly over the skull with heavy mining equipment and leaves them bleeding in the moonlight.

He has 60 points in 54 games. That's really good, but let's face it, Kucherov is pushing 100 I believe. So, not sure about Hockey God, not now.
