Post-Game Talk: Pens try to play hockey against Isles.

[ncm7772]

Chemistry.

Eh, two players shouldn't destroy it this much. I don't think it's all that.

 

[Gurglesons]

I don’t know why people are frustrated.

What do the Pens have to gain from trying after they go down two tonight?

Half of them are playing injured or coming back from injury, they’ve got a back to back. You could tell they weren’t feeling it all night.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Schedule. I keep saying it throws them off.

Down to 9 games left to get this situated .

Getting interesting now.

Well they still have three more back to backs in their last ten games to take it easy.

Thank you schedule makers.

 

[ncm7772]

I believe we were just eliminated in the first round.

Wouldn't be surprised. Three weeks of trash.

 

[Ryder71]

Eh, two players shouldn't destroy it this much. I don't think it's all that.

When you add that to all the players we lost in the off season it adds up. Thats like seven or eight players.

Didn't think anything would top Boston, but this did.

There's no excuse for it tonight. They play like that against the Islanders after having four(!) days off.

 

[Anya6687]

Feels like every other game they play like this lately...pens are in trouble...btw minus to the entire team

 

[ncm7772]

If there’s one team and one coach who’s shown over the past couple years that they can get things straightened out when it counts, it’s the Pens and HCMS. But go ahead and jump off the bridges if it makes ya feel better.

Oh, I'm on the edge. And it makes me feel no better.

Caps won...now up 4 points
We are tied with CBJ
Philly still could win their game
We could be in a 3-way tie for second by the end of the night...
We could end up a WC...

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

+ Cole lead the BJs in ice time.

- Sid not caring at all. I did find it funny how he acted frustrated on the EN goal. Lmao. I'm sure you cared Sid.

 

[ColePens]

They won the last 2 Cups, they won the last two Cups, they won the last 2 Cups.........

Is the only reason I'm not vomiting right now.

As Philly just tied it.. i'm with ya. If NJ/Philly win, I may even have to throw in a Cup DVD to not vomit.

 

[Killahpunk]

Meanwhile Ian Cole has 2 assist, 3 Hits, and 2 Blocked Shots in 22:01 as The Blue Jackets pull even with us in the division.

 

[Hobodrifter]

Yep, totally meaningless. Dropping back in the standings while the other teams in the division get closer/pass us with only a handful of games left. Totally meaningless game.

You're right, trade everybody, fire everyone, start the rebuild. Just won back to back cups after years of suffering, relax.

ROW and a game in hand against both of those teams. Just FYI.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Kinda funny to think that we've won every Cup on the road since we look like ass when not at home

 

[Ryder71]

Penguins Defense:

Not surprising, they didn't add anyone at the deadline, lost Cole and depleted their depth.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Wait. Can our payoff avatar be “lessons”?

 

[ncm7772]

When you add that to all the players we lost in the off season it adds up. Thats like seven or eight players.

True. But I was referring solely to this year's team.

 

[PensandCaps]

No big deal...

Games “don’t mean anything” this time if year...

They don't. Games in genaral don't mean anything until the postseason. Even then. It doesn't matter that much...we are back to back Champs. Can't win every year.

 

[BHD]

I don’t know why people are frustrated.

Because the team has been putting up 'performances', like the one tonight, for a while now.

 

[Dey so soff*]

There's no excuse for it tonight. They play like that against the Islanders after having four(!) days off.

Oh, there’ll be plenty of excuses from the usual suspects...

“Rusty from having 4 days off”

“Went up against a hot goalie”

“Isles were desperate”

“Pens had bad puck luck because of bad ice”

No, they played like they didn’t give a ****.

 

[ncm7772]

Never said there was an excuse. And you're right, there isn't.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Meanwhile Ian Cole has 2 assist, 3 Hits, and 2 Blocked Shots in 22:01 as The Blue Jackets pull even with us in the division.

With Hulk Sullivan as the coach.

 

[pensfansince88]

it is a real possibility to miss the playoffs. the teams right below us never lose anymore unless they play each other and we struggle against bottom feeders
