Post-Game Talk: Pens/Flyers - Insert groaning here

"Puustinen needs to be more consistent" - @DesertedPenguin

Down a center and two of the primary PK forwards.

But yeah, let's call up a soft perimeter winger.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Jarry at least looks really good.

He looks pretty good. He's given up a lot of softies to his blocker and the 3rd goal tonight was another one.
The blocker isn't "Murray glove hand" bad, but the book is out to shoot there.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Really? After all of this nonsense going on on 2nd line and PP.. you are discussing AHL callups?

Because discussing something that has never been as good as it should be for a very long time is worth the millionth discussion?

 

[SomeDude]

It was nice he was given a chance though, but his chance is over stop playing him. Find someone else in WBS, and I don't mean someone that has 0 points on the AHL season either.

Sullivan picks guys that you can see in like 3 games are absolutely nothing or very poor NHL players and lets them play 100 games. Then he gets a guy that has some flashes of something and sends them back to WBS after 1 game and never brings them back.

If Mike Sullivan was your relative, you would never let him hold the TV remote.

Lol at the excuses.

This team lost to the devils when they were missing Hischier, Hughes, and Meier.

Even with 2 players out, you look at that Flyers roster and think this team shouldn't beat them? LMAO...

Also, Puustinen in his call up was none of what you're bitching about. I don't think you've seen him play at all given your criticism about him, it's evident.

I'd have no TV in my house if he was a relative.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Pens can play a team missing its entire 1st line and the excuses would be...

"We were missing our 4th line C, the Water Boy, the team chef, and Rakell, so I mean it's not fair at all that this team is getting negativity for this loss...."



Edit: Wait, they did lose to a team missing essentially 3 of their top 6. LOOOOOOL
Edit 2: Imagine naming 4 f***ing payers and some f***ing walnut easily shows his insane bias and hatred for just 1 of the names - I named Gruden, Pitlick, Puustinen and the unsigned Houde and somehow this f***ing bloke bitches about Puustinen? Show me you aren't f***ing biased as f*** without showing me you aren't f***ing biased as f***, zero comment on the other 3 names but that 1 name is an epic trigger point.

LOL this f***ing board.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

God god, are really talking about AHL callups

News flash. All of our callups are crap.

 

[SomeDude]

I'd have no TV in my house if he was a relative.

Ah yes, in this scenario it means you're probably from Boston. So you threw a beer bottle through the TV 6 months ago when your wife burnt dinner.

I mean, I would order takeout regardless.

We just lost the game on the PP and Harkins and Kopannen played 0 seconds on the PK.

 

[BobCole]

I stopped watching a few games ago. The PP had cost us yet another game and I said I wouldn't watch again until heads rolled. Sounds like it cost them another W tonight. Glad I didn't watch.

 

[SomeDude]

Wait until Mike Sullivan tells Mike Sullivan that you have to PK to play in Mike Sullivan's bottom 6.

[farscape1]

I rarely see a team on the power play just pass the puck back and forth and refuse to shoot. I remember this team doing that stuff back in the day too. Remember a song about this too.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

I cant help but feel if Rem Pitlick was there none of this would have happened.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Exactly and I don't get why so many here can't find it in themselves to admit as much since it's literal f***ing proof.

Imagine using the excuse that we're missing a struggling Rakell and his 0 goals and 2 4th liners as the excuse to lose when the coach is doing some very idiotic things like usual and that isn't the problem. I mean I get Jarry needs to handle a #1's workload, but holy shit, play your back-up and also maybe look at WBS and who is playing well and call them up, f*** Puustinen for a second because that one wanker really gets his knickers in a bunch over it, Pitlick has been playing well and is a veteran, that's Sully porn right there and Pitlick is a versatile player as well, another Sully porn moment.

I feel like in the last 10 games, the split has been Jarry 8 games, Ned has played 1, Hellberg, half a game or so?

 

[ChaosAgent]

On the shortie, this really speaks to how much Malkin needs to shorten his shifts on the PP and at Even Strength.

Scott Laughton was, without exaggeration, 20% faster than him in that foot race and he wasn't at the start of his shift either.

You cannot be an effective hockey player going 80% of the speed of everyone else. Get to the bench and get a change.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Man, it felt real awkward watching Geno flail helplessly before taking an old man fall on Laughton's goal. Kinda funny though.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

"His inconsistency is too inconsistent at this specific moment" - Mike Sullivan, probably.

Media - "Mike, he has 5pts in his last 5 games, he's been playing very well since he's been back"
Mike - "His sticktoitiveness isn't where it needs to be."
Media - "His what?"
Mike - "Huh?"

 

[vodeni]

Seriously, Smith is the worst player on ice, every single game, for a month. Graves being the same story. Malkin looks totally washed up too, his defensive play is terrible and that line can´t create much offense either, so it´s just pain.

you have been trying this Geno washed up now for a few years, eventually you will get this right

 

[Andy99]

Lol

 

[SomeDude]

Honestly though, the clip of EK giving Konecny a free pass on a perfectly legal big hit is going to sum up this season nicely.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Lol

IDC what anyone says, Torts is good for hockey.

These cats were smart and slept thru the penguins game tonight.
