Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Caps| Loss | Its fine, fine, no really, its fine (Mod warning 1st post)

[Zirakzigil]

Sigh.... Not a good game for the team. The bad:
- Letang
- Dumo
- Letang and Dumo
- PP
- Penalties
- Jarry looked fragile
- lack of push back

The good:
- Zucker was back
- 2nd line looked pretty good for the most part


Mod Warning:
We are on a 4 game losing streak. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. If you are just going to come into this thread to swear, you will be given an infraction and removed. Talk about the game, be critical, tear apart the players, etc. But add something to the conversation.

I've already seen the last win of the season.

This team is so unlikable. It's such a vanilla team with almost no offensive creativity that relies on the other team's goalie letting in softies in order for it to score.

 

[GregR]

Penguins-Panthers is going to be as lopsided a playoff matchup as you'll probably ever see

 

[canadianguy77]

Has to be some doubt creeping into that dressing room.

 

[LosingStreak06]

Put the rest of the league on notice, we are ready for the Playoffs

 

[dogthateats]

The fans were pathetic today. Malkin looked good. Everyone else a big fat minus

 

[Dessloch]

The good: We wont have to be swept by the Caps in the playoffs since we will be swept by another team.

The bad: EVERYTHING else.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Help! The pens are getting beat by the playoff teams and this doesn't bode too while going into the playoffs.

 

[Empoleon8771]

This team is the same team it has been for the last 4 years. I don't know why we expected anything different.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Silver lining is this result makes it less likely to draw Shesterkin in R1.

Continues to show no creativity as a coach. He has no answers for 4 years now

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Blow it up

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Jarry is not the reason they lost because they were bad enough as a collective but 2 goals on 35 foot wristers from not great angles in one game is not close to good enough.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Can't wait for the team to spend like $30 million to watch a slow, boring, ~structured~ (Thanks, Sully) victory lap for this core.

 

[DearDiary]

Another game the Pens had a higher chance of winning with Malkin scratched

 

[Trade]

+we held a lead for 16 seconds!!!!!!!!

Jarry has bailed us out a ton this season, it ain’t happening right now.

Maybe we’re just saving ourselves for the playoffs!

 

[pi314]

Nothing worse than losing on a Wilson goal right after he should have been called for a late hit.

Sully " I thought we did good things and looked better out there on the ice today."

The groundhog day moment was watching that defensive effort, or lack thereof.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

They're gonna get swept by the Panthers.

 

[BoysofWinter66871]

That 3rd period...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Being that out played by the Capitals after being on a 3 game losing streak is a joke, you want a proper response, you get your captain back, zucker back, and this is the effort we saw?

Jarry is being over played
Ruhwedel in over Friedman
Being brutally out shot in the 3rd period and the coach still chooses to pull the goalie? Lol
There were many bad performances, but nothing tops the coach just not getting it done with getting the most out of this team and line-up.
Jarry needed to be better and that Orlov goal will be something a lot here whine about for days to come and that's fine, but the Wilson goal was a legit snipe and faulting him on that one is going to be fun around here.
