GDT: Pens @ Isles, Battle of the All-Star goalies, who weren't originally All-Stars...

[Shockmaster]

Felt like we saw both the best and the worst of the Penguins in this game.

 

[The Greatest 101]

I guess this is all Bylsma's fault.

 

[Pete Gas]

The sad part is that the Isles are gonna win the cup this season.

6-3 doesn't represent how the game went to me. It was a lot closer than that.

Definetly. We were still in it until the Downie penalty. Taking a deliberate penalty with 2:41 left down a goal.

 

[Hank Plank]

Imagine how good this team would be if Fleury just stopped every puck. I mean. WOW! Just think of it! If only Fleury just saved everything. I never thought of this until now. Christ. I wish that Fleury would get his **** together and just stop the pucks so that the defense, who are out to ****ing lunch on every goal, don't look so bad.

Imagine if MAF made a key save in the 3rd, or a couple. Game would likely have gone to OT.

 

[Gold Diamond]

Completely embarrassing play in the 3rd period. They should be forced to watch tape of that period for the next month. **** this team.

 

[Catfishcol87]

Waste another good game from Sid.

 

[gordie]

Can Fluery ever beat the Islander, he just not a big time goalie in critical games.

The defense in front is lacking. Can't lose a young star defenseman like Maatta and get away with it.

 

[Ugene Magic]

The Death Star is not fully operational.

 

[Jacob]

Letang kept shooting pucks right into defenders shins and his passes were off the mark all night. He almost handed them an empty netter at the end.

 

[Beaunett]

We need defensemen who can handle speed teams. Perron's the only backchecker on the top line. Crosby makes it to the slot by the time the goal's in the back of the net while Kunitz is at center ice.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Things really fell apart after Fleury allowed their third goal.

 

[systemsgo]

The sad part is that the Isles are gonna win the cup this season.

Or hopefully knocked out by the Rangers.

 

[gordie]

The sad part is that the Isles are gonna win the cup this season.

 

[Human]

hey, at least Malkin is not tired...

 

[KIRK]

Letang's positive contributes grossly outweighed whatever negatives you could give him tonight. This was a very entertaining game that could have gone either way. We need to start finding ways to win games like this, but I'm not going to jump off of any ledges. The Isles are good competition.

Two things:

Geno played great, which is encouraging, but you've got to produce.

Sid was just plain awesome and deserved those two goals, but his decision on the Isles 4th goal to abdicate defensively when Letang had pinched was the end of this game.

 

[Tender Rip]

Something about learning lessons.... suppose we better start when it comes to the Islanders.

Ultimately, as much as Fleury deserves praise this season, that third goal couldn't happen, and neither could the fifth. Downie should not have take the penalty leading to the fifth, but just the same.
Not going crazy on 29, but this one is on him.

Not at all a fan of Geno being used as sparingly as he was, but I did like that Johnston used Downie with him and Bennett at the end. Whatever anyone says about Spaling, he is not the man for that line.

Scuds was a dumpster fire and Adams was worthless. Arcobello I barely noticed which might be both good and bad.
