GDT: Pens vs. Caps Part II

[Terrapin]

GG boys. Got the point, and seemingly no injuries.

 

[Shaftception]

Why are people being negative? It happens. I think we were still dominating. Just bad defense. It's fine.

I agree it's not a big enough deal to flip **** over, the capitals don't matter in the long run until potentially the second round, outside of mental confidence this game means nothing. It's far more important they remain healthy in order to get the opportunity to play them again a few weeks from now when they might have malkin, maata, and rust back.

First line had been awful.

This on the other hand is a big problem.

 

[Shockmaster]

Well, at least the Flyers game means nothing now.

 

[KIRK]

if a pathetic game leaves us tied with the best team in the league, I think we're doing pretty well as a whole.

It wasn't a pathetic game.

Far from it.

But, my takeaway right now is that the PP may cost us games in the playoffs.

 

[Shrimper]

I want to see;

Sheary-Cullen-Sestito

 

[orby]

Don't think a loss tonight would be much cause for concern. at this point i just want to see Sid get a point in OT to pad his stats

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Let's see Kunitz on 3vs3.

 

[gac3378]

Sit everyone vs philly!

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

game means nothing... I am looking forward to the playoffs

******** it means nothing. we're most likely gonna face the caps in 2 weeks. letting them know that they can push us around cause we wont do **** on the pp isn't a good thing

 

[dig1]

Well, at least the Flyers game means nothing now.

which i believe to be a good thing. I am thinking it's going to be a lot of ruff stuff going on in that game.

 

[Extra Texture]

Cmon Sid. Ice this game and rip their hearts out

 

[Pancakes]

I'm actually not super worried about the powerplay. Imo it's biggest problem is lack of urgency and in the playoffs you're not going to see that lack of urgency. Every player will amp up their intensity on it.

I could be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if we flip a switch with it and start winning battles and just competing.

 

[chethejet]

Home ice. Kuhnhackl blows past Orpik. Caps arent going nowhere with that D.

 

[Terrapin]

Put Sestito out there. He can beat up Ovy, and when he's done, he can beat up Lovejoy

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Pens lock up 2nd in the Metro

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Letang was smart there to skate past that puck with OV bearing down on him

 

[Hobodrifter]

Pens are starting to develope old Pens bad habits.

Not using their feet and giving up pucks right to the Caps.

It's one game against the best team in the league.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

It wasn't a pathetic game.

Far from it.

But, my takeaway right now is that the PP may cost us games in the playoffs.

Geno.coming back ASAP could fix the PP. But... those zone entries have sucked for years...

 

[Speaking Moistly]

if a pathetic game leaves us tied with the best team in the league, I think we're doing pretty well as a whole.

I'm more concerned about why it's pathetic

The PP is embarrassing
The love affair with Kunitz is insanity
Lovejoy should not be playing

These aren't one offs and aside from Lovejoy I don't see it changing any time soon.

 

[KIRK]

Let's see Kunitz on 3vs3.

Alas, you're stuck with Hagelin with Sid.

 

[WayneSid9987]

As bad as Cole's been tonight he's still better than LJ.
We need Maatta back and LJ sitting.

 

[Asuna]

Put Sestito out there. He can beat up Ovy, and when he's done, he can beat up Lovejoy

 

[vodeni]

sid I mean seriously

 

[KIRK]

Hagelin is just insane tonight defensively.

 

[sf expat71]

This is like the reverse of recent Pens games, where we'd start off slow and come back and win. I feel like we took the foot off the gas for a while there and paid for it. Let's see if they can turn back on tonight.
