GDT: pens/rangs part deux

[Smoke]

Love the new old NHL.

I guess the best we can hope for is that we'll get some power play chances when the refs try to extend this series beyond 4 games. So if we don't win any of the next 2 we can expect some calls in game 3. THe officials can probably set aside they hatred for the Pens when the NHL starts talking about generating more revenue. Funny how that works with an impartial position like officiating?

 

[Gold Diamond]

This team is AIDS. 3 more games to go.

 

[Gurglesons]

So, is everyone still saying the Rags are a surefire team to make the cup?

Their depth sucks, their stars suck, the difference between watching this series and the others is just a joke. Lifeless, boring hockey from both sides.

 

[systemsgo]

well, I think the Pens actually played a bit better than I expected they would. so there's that i guess.

 

[td_ice]

Well, a loss is a loss, but after that start I can't say I'm hugely upset with the way the team responded.

MAF was huge and the team responded. Considering how hamstrung and flawed this team is. They just showed they can hang int his series.

Some positives.


But man, this team has so many inept players.

 

[Human]

Two totally saveable goals for the Rags...

 

[Daeni10]

the fact that they only won 2-1 is somewhat depressing for a presidents trophy winner

 

[Crosberry87]

I like our chances Saturday. Only lost 2-1 without Sid.

 

[cygnus47]

Just don't have the puck moving from the back to get anything going. There wasn't a creative play all game. Can't generate anything like that.

 

[Sideline]

Tough luck. Can't go 16-0. They've got enough experience to come back!

 

[tom_servo]

0 and forever when trailing after one. Kind of a disgusting stat.

 

[Son Goku]

We survived. The big boys need to chip in. Turnovers were terrible. As I predicted their speed is killing us.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

That face off made no sense to me. Why no one behind Sid who could one-time a win?

This. Johnston is just plain dumb.

 

[IcedCapp]

You're right he played a swell game.

Here's the problem, and I'm just going to spell it out for you and then wish you luck:

Crosby has the highest playoff ppg of this era, and one of the highest of all time.

So to claim Crosby is not a "big game player" is simply you picking and choosing what qualifies as a big game so you can support your point.

You're wrong, your post is unintelligent, and you're bringing nothing of intelligence or substance to the discussion. Good luck in your future endeavors.

 

[pensfansince88]

hornqvist was ass though. i thought he was made for playoff hockey?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I wish Kunitz were scratched...

 

[Nakawick]

That face off made no sense to me. Why no one behind Sid who could one-time a win?

I know, I was screaming where is the lh shot at the top of the circle?

 

[metalan2]

The only difference was powerplays were 5-1. If we had a legitimate defense that could skate and pass we would have rolled the Rangers.

Erhoff, Letang..my goodness.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Honestly they played much better than I expected.Wish we still had Bylsma.Unbelievable.

 

[bigkam]

Kudos to the Rags for perfecting the "Red Wings Clutch n Grab Defense", circa 2008.

And **** the refs for letting them get away with it.

 

[Hophog]

Love the new old NHL.

I fully expect the Pens to make moves this summer to adjust to the old NHL right about the time the NHL rewrites the rule book again.

 

[Lim Ran]

I like our chances Saturday. Only lost 2-1 without Sid.

Refs were good for the Rangers too. Strong game.

 

[Coach Travis]

You're right he played a swell game.

That's why they call hockey a team game. When you've got Defencemen who can't make a first pass and Kunitz throwing it away on the ****ing cycle, there's not a lot you can do. Sid didn't play his best game but he's got zero help.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Well that was better than expected at least.
