Post-Game Talk: Pens/Devils - Arrogance personified

[LOGiK]

For one night. For the entirety of the season, the skaters have been mostly good.

The goalie is one of those bags you use to pick up dog shit

Hey I just did that!
Now that you mention it I can smell the comparison

Bullshit

Hate to break it to you clowns But FSG is big on stats & if they didn't think Jarry was worth that contract they would have to Dubas NO! but you golden Jock Sniffers know better than they do

Jarry sleeping on 4th goal... Not many goals scored where the goalie doesn't even see the puck going into the net. haha...

For as much as I love to point out the cracks in Jarry's game, this wasn't on him. He correctly believes that the backside is covered. Terrible marking all around by the 5 man unit.

And wow did the 3rd line look absolutely brutal last night. Wasn't any 1 player, they were all garbage.

I suppose.
Could have hugged the post and pivoted on the far side watching til it was safe he wasn't going to do what he did instead of giving up the near post for the eventual wrap around... which in my rough remembrance was covered by a d man?
eh.. not a big deal, but if it happens again....

Jarry’s strange even by goalie standards.

 

[Ugene Magic]

The Penguins underlying numbers are *incredibly good*. Like, elite. If you could magically put a top-32 goalie on their roster, they’d be a playoff lock. If you put a top-16 goalie there, they’d be top-4 in the east.

I won’t say “top-5 makes them a contender,” because that’s probably true of any team with an elite goalie.

But the point is, this board’s reality is stuck in 2018-2022. The 23-24 penguins are legitimately good everywhere but net.

legitimately good in the bottom 6, bottom pairing. I'm mean "good" is very passive here.

The Pens are elite in the top 6 and top 4.

Average in net, below average 3rd line, and very below average 4th and the bottom pairing is just light years below average.

This all equates this team is average. Or a 50/50, .500 team.

The team has shown both sides of a average team, they cannot afford to take shifts, periods or games off as a whole group. Last night showed flashes of individual but not a group effort. They can beat anyone, but mostly beat themselves collectively.

Oh god.

I’ve gotta ask: how sad does your life have to be to simp for a goalie who has a sub 900 sv% in his losses and has never won anything?

Like at least the fleury simps could say he played a role in a cup win. You’re just spouting nonsense over a loser.

That’s not a good look for you

I play net so I tend to give goalies the benefit of the doubt
It was essentially the same goal vs MAF in the 2011 Game 7 vs TB. No goalie expects that pass to be reversed in a shooting position; it's atypical, but it's definitely something more offenses should do.

90% of the time that puck carrier continues his momentum around the net and Jarry was set up correctly. By the time he knew what had happened the pass was basically completed and he was hung out.
The other 10% of the time that puck gets reversed to the other corner, which is no shot threat from there.

That play is fully on the skaters. No goalie is stopping that

Jarry is trash. If he improved greatly he might sniff average. He is G A R B A G E. He’s a loser playing like a loser

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Wow sometimes my memory scares me haha. Here's the TB goal at 4:30

I just think the team has to play well above average. Consistently.

That doesn't exclude anyone. There's plenty of garbage to be had well worth mentioning before, Jarry.

I'll call it tunnel vision because, it all funnels to the end result. Good/bad.

This used to be way more common back in the 80's before adjustments and rule changes were made. There use to be a lot more room back there for guys like Gretzky and such to pitch up camp. The Net is just much closer to the boards.

What goalies are >.900 save percentage in losses on average?
Seems like that would be very statistically unlikely.

What a f***ing annoying ass series this was.

You aren't even coherent.

Of the 127,252 members of this site, you are the absolute last one qualified to call someone else a clown.

I do have to give you props, though- you stopped calling other posters "beavis" every third post. Thanks in large part, I'm sure, to some help from the moderators. It took you over a year, but you figured it out.

Good to have you back.

Agreed and you rarely see plays like this behind the net anymore bc of that. Definitely exploitable, especially in a PP situation with the right player movement.

Yea and I hated Matt Cooke and Bylsma as soon as the final horn blew. 3-1 series lead blown again. And Matt Cooke was suspended for a flying elbow in like the last RS game of that year.
They should have trounced TB, but likely would have lost in the next round without Sid and Geno

I don't live near/around Pitts but coincidently I was in town during that game on a work outing (we were bowling at the casino and I was watching at the bar). Wanted to go but it would have been a bad work "look" if I ditched the socializing. Glad I didn't waste the money or career equity on it lol

Looks like the rural dilapidated Rite-Aid didn't do background checks on the Sudafed purchasers again.

Yeah, true. Not arguing... just... could have held that post longer but everything you said is correct.
The speed he was coming in at too not to mention perfect pass... that was a well developed play by the looks of it.
Nice goal.
Bad d

Crosby on tonight's performance: "We weren’t really good in any area, to be honest with you. We had a couple leads, then they got it back right away. They’re a desperate team. I thought they just played better. They outworked us."
