Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Caps | Shootout loss | Just like the good 'ole days, terrible goaltending included!

[Andy99]

Name a more iconic duo: the Penguins and losing in OT/SO.

People are going to shit talk DeSmith because of those SO goals against but the efforts by Crosby and Malkin were pathetic. DeSmith has been a nightmare recently, but he's absolutely not the reason they lost today. I'm not going to criticize him for the SO loss at all.

Lol…top two stars of the game were Kuemper and CDS….that about sums it up…

Recap of this game:

At least the effort is there.

You guys member when Sid was actually exciting to watch in the SO?

I member

Dude had that insane goal against Thibault (?) in his rookie year and it's been "skate in, deke a couple times, try to fire a wrister five hole" ever since. Big yawn.

 

[vodeni]

there is a lot to like in this game...here we go...everyone around this team is f***ing in some weird state of self indicted hypnosis

 

[Pancakes]

I'm so tired of Jake being a complete non factor. He's about to get paid huge bucks from us and he's doing absolutely nothing most nights. Him being a PPG (inflated by like 5 engs) is not that impressive when like 40 players are that

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Rust is near perfect in his career at shootouts. Left on the bench though.
Had my fill of this coach.

 

[Pancakes]

That said, I thought our guys competed hard

 

[Andy99]

clearly, the Pens just want to get the break lol…if they don’t come out of this break playing very well and winning games, I won’t be watching many more games…just a sad sack team

Didn't Sid go like 9/10 in SOs in 2010?

 

[metalan2]

Tens games under .500 with the current top-6 arrangement.

That’s all that really has to be said…

That's unfathomable.

 

[vodeni]

I said in the pregame: CDS will have these one terrible one good game but than he loses the good one also...don't play him against Sharks please...
Caps may be the worst team we played in this stretch...

 

[Dessloch]

Dumo must have played ALOT tonight, holy shit. Or else he just found a way to look bad with the minutes he got! Dreams of Dumo Dominating Sullivans mind!

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

So fun to watch a sport where Lars f***ing Eller has free reign to tackle any skill players around him without consequences while skill players get called for a penalty when somebody f***ing falls near them.

As usual this year, the Pens didn't really earn the breaks, though.

 

[vodeni]

I thought dumo had a really good game

Maybe it's time to bring back the practice shootout mustache boy competitions...

Crosby honestly needs to figure it out. We can bitch about blueger, Carter etc all we want but if Sid isn’t going, none of that matters.

That goes to Guentzel too. Both have looked like they split a Xan before each game over the past month

You kidding? We usually lose in OT long before it gets to a shootout

You mean Sid & Guentzel took half a Flunitrazapem (Rophypnol) before the game? I can totally believe they have that routine looking so sluggish! On the other hand there should be some drug rage, so they should look like they are trying at least once in a while!

Seriously, both Crosby & Jake are getting manhandled and lose every single battle for the puck, they are not giving 100%, thats for sure.

Credit to Sullivan's coaching that he's been able to salvage his season. popcorn.gif

They can work on 3 on 3 as well.

I’d trade him for Konecny

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Can't believe I let the excitement of last game bait me into watching this hot coiled dogshit. I should've known better.

 

[Beauner]

I’d trade him for Konecny

Nah Konecny is a f***in plug. 3rd liner on a good team

 

[Pens x]

Run it back Sully.

Jake will not age well, lots of injuries on his body and already slow and looks like a senior member of society. I can see him dropping of totally at age 30 or so. I would consider dealing him if Crosby would approve of it!
