Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Bruins | Loss

[Victor Z]

Claude Julien next season?

Torts or bust!

It’s kind of fun going into the playoffs with 0 expectation.

I know it’s hard for some of the spoiled brats around here to realize it, but playoffs aren’t really a lock for any other team and beyond that even if you make the playoffs you are rarely a “favorite” every year like we have been since pretty much 07-08.

He's trying so hard to bait lol.

Let's go Penguinos!

 

[Gurglesons]

Looking like it's going to be us and Carolina huh?

 

[TooManyHumans]

It's been pretty clear for awhile that we are most likely going out in the first round again. I'm not sure it really matters what team we play.

They’re probably deliberately losing to try and play us lol…

 

[Gurglesons]

Nah. They've looked like shit since we played them.

Not surprised. Adding Domi and nothing else was a joke of a deadline for them. Plus that D and goaltending was always playing with fire. Andersen has been awful in the playoffs since like 2015. New Nabokov.

 

[Gurglesons]

They also lost Andersen and Staal tonight.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I don’t wanna jinx it, but, I think it may be our year fellas! We are going all the way.

Shades of 2016!

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

By the way, with Washington winning today (looks like they will), they will once again control their destiny over us. If they win their two games in hand, they'd be one point up on us.

It really doesn't matter if the Pens get the Rangers/Carolina or Florida with the way they're playing.

In a way it's why I hope we drop all the way down to WC2 and get Florida. I think we still lose, but it'll at least be an entertaining series to watch.

Doesn’t matter who plays who. Toronto is winning a cup on Lyubushkin’s back ala Bill Barliko.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I didn't watch the full game unfortunately to give an accurate assessment.

The only thing I can hope for Jarry is back for playoffs and that we figure it out.

Any aggressive forecheck screws with every defensive pairing. Sullivan needs to solve this Pronto. I don't get it.

Forwards have talent and I can only help playoff time it happens.

After watching half of this game and then the Carolina-Avs game, it was like watching a 33rpm recording suddenly switch to 78rmp…Pens are chicken feed…

isn't that how our games vs. Avs looked like, Carolina not so much we wwer half dead there

well, on one side lol.. I don’t think we matched the Avs speed…maybe closer the first game in Colorado but not the home game

 

[Clare2904]

Completely forgot about this game yesterday and barely glanced at the scoreline when I got home

 

[Coastal Kev]

Would anyone fe confident in a 7 game series against Buffalo right now?

once again they may have an excuse with Jarry .....but it’s a false narrative


THEY CANT SCORE GOALS 5 ON 5

Lack of scoring, defense sucks, PP an embarrassment….the problems are many lol

 

[canadianguy77]

Canes are probably our best matchup anyway. We have a few lines that could win their matchups against them if everyone is on the same page. It would be a grind though.

If Staal is out that makes them incredibly weak down the center.

 

[Andy99]

I think the Pens are falling to WC2, so I don’t think we’ll have a chance to play Carolina…not that that’s the best matchup…none of them are good…Pens will lose against any of the Rags, Car, or Florida

Washington’s need of season run is much harder than ours.

 

[Night Shift]

I'd rather play Carolina or Florida if its any consolation.

 

[Andy99]

They’re playing much better though

 

[Angrrus]

Thanks goodness we have great superstars and leaders in Crosby and Letang, who can score themselves and rally up the troops to erase an early 2 goal deficit.

 

[Angrrus]

It’s really hard to care about anything with the constant injuries/suspensions/lack of momentum/fixed playoff position.

Colorado were missing several big players form their lineup when they beat us twice short while ago.

Complaining about injuries/absences is for losers. We still had two superstars and a lot of other good pleayers in the lineup.
