Post-Game Talk: Pens/Stars: The stars came to play! As in the Sid/Geno, not Dallas.

[Dipsy Doodle]

ZAR played 17:09 tonight.

17:09!

Well-earned!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Man I would love to see a guy like DiPauli up for that spot ZAR is wasting for a pest.

Or even Lafferty or Angello. Anyone (well not Grant) but ZAR in that spot.

 

[PensandCaps]

Brassard looked good. Too bad his linemates suck.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Nice to see them win, star players definitely carried them to a win.

 

[WayneSid9987]

I'd simply take ZAR out and insert Sprong. Let Sid, Jake, Pearson pick up the PK slack and Brass gets:

Simon-Brass-Rust
or
Rust-Brass-Simon/Sprong
or
Simon-Brass-Sprong(although i prefer Rust on one wing)

Best they can do with no callups butttt they'll go back to ZAR cuz...reasons.

17:09!

Well-earned!

And got the sandwich of the game!!!

Dude “plays the game the right way, with swagger”!

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Penguins sign coach Mike Sullivan to three-year extension

 

[Honour Over Glory]

ZAR played 17:09 tonight.

17:09!

 

[Shady Machine]

What propelled the Pens to two cups?


Injections of youth from WBS.

The FO needa to realise that. Grant,Sheahan and ZAR are useless.

ZAR is an infection of youth. Not particularly fond of him, but he still fits that narrative. Agreed that we need to see more.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Brassard looked good. Too bad his linemates suck.

Crosby makes people look better all the time. Why can't Brass do that against 3rd liners?

 

[PensandCaps]

ZAR played 17:09 tonight.

17:09!

Well-earned!

What! Jesus.

Yep but definitely no anti Sprong bias in the coaching staff.


I bet that meathead Recchi is behind this. That dude is an idiot and should be nowhere near a NHL bench.

Good lord, I had to check that this wasn’t a typo.


That’s almost Sprong’s total minutes this season!

 

[dogthateats]

I don’t like that we took our foot off the gas in the third. Glad we got the win. I thought Pearson looked really good and not just bc of his snipe.

 

[KIRK]

Going to repeat something that I think most people know.

Beating this crap Dallas team means nothing. That's a team with 1 stud line and as much crap as our bottom six on their other 3 lines. They were missing their Letang and their Dumo. If anything, the Pens should've dominated more.

Boston is on Friday. They usually torture us, but no Bergeron or Chara. No excuse not to beat that team.

Then comes Columbus at home and at Winnipeg and Colorado back to back.

Those two, I fear, end one of two ways:

1. The mess JR made gets exposed.

2. The stars make miracles happen (good because you root for them, bad because they can't do it all the time and without enough help, as we have learned too many times in the playoffs).

Can't believe we're back to the coffee gang.....

Wake me when this bozo is fired.

When you’re up by that much you dont want your good players out as much.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Could you imagine if Sprong got that kind of ice time that ZAR did? That's like 2 games worth of ice time vs what Sprong normally gets.

Ridiculous. ZAR is pure trash on ice.

 

[KIRK]

Good lord, I had to check that this wasn’t a typo.


That’s almost Sprong’s total minutes this season!

ZAR was tied for tops among forwards in TOI.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

When you’re up by that much you dont want your good players out as much.

You also don't want your worst players on the ice at all.

 

[AverageJoeFan]

I'd simply take ZAR out and insert Sprong. Let Sid, Jake, Pearson pick up the PK slack and Brass gets:

Simon-Brass-Rust
or
Rust-Brass-Simon/Sprong

If only...

 

[Tom Hanks]

Off the bottom of the East!!! Up to 23rd in the league

 

[Bingo71]

ZAR was tied for tops among forwards in TOI.

And they won big!

ZAR is obviously the straw that stirs the drink in Pittsburgh! Get that man 20 minutes next game!

 

[The Greatest 101]

Where are all the Pearson haters now?

 

[PensandCaps]

Crosby makes people look better all the time. Why can't Brass do that against 3rd liners?

Who else is Crosby? No one but McDavid. Asinine if you want Brassard to be Crosby....like wtf?


Also, Brassard doesn't get the mins.


When he does, he looks very very good, like on Monday, should've had 3 points that game.

 

[Finesse]

They didn't blow the lead.
