Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Caps | win | Geno redemption goal

[Hank Plank]

How did Sullivan not take a timeout when the Caps tied it 3-3 and were turning the puck over and giving WSH chances to win? How is possible he did not take a time out? I am baffled! We lucked out of this one for sure! I am thankful for it, but Sully sucks!

I'm guessing because he hates your house.

@ronduguayshair where you at bro

Driving home from the game. There’s the big goal we needed by line 2. Still dumb penalty that changed the momentum of the game.

First 5 on 5 goal in what 13 games.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I hope the Pens are able to get the WC1 spot. Id much rather watch them against the Canes than Bruins.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

This team f***ing sucks. I'm so f***ing sick of this shit. I don't care what the board says, they gave up 3 f***ing 3rd period goals.

f***ing LOSERS.

I worry you're losing your edge, bro...

 

[AuroraBorealis]

2 days off now is good timing. Team must be exhausted after a 3 in 4.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Hell of a game, had great seats, gonna have to do this again sometime, had a blast.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

It's great that they won, but it doesn't change the fact that they blew another 3rd period lead. Another first exit is to be expected if they make it.

Yeah, well, at least the Caps will get to watch the Pens on TV at the country club lounge.

OK,
Number 1 rule from now on...when CDS plays well in the first don't praise him because he will let a couple of easies
Letang was a total mess tonight, just turnover after turnover, that 3rd goal he made about three plays to let them score, he was awful on PP,
2 and 8 were good so were 4 and 52
L1 was a mess, Rust is killing them Sid and Jake were Ok
L2 was good to very good, Geno was very good, not sure why he was to blame for that 4 on 4 goal, it was still 4 on 4 play f***ing hockey
L3 was good too

maybe continue with that L2 with Zuck and Granlund wish he would make L3 DOC Poehling and Rust

 

[Shady Machine]

I have to say, as a fan of hockey, this game was a treat. We don’t have much longer to watch those Ovie PP bombs or the Geno celebrations. I’m going to soak it all up while we still can.

A f***ing impressive three game run, too. Erratic as shit, frustratingly Penguin, but the last three games punks the stupid "loser" motif.

Exactly.

Because he took a penalty on a powerplay that turned the game. So that’s fine in your book? The avatar checks out.

Everybody knows Malkin shoots low blocker even this board. LOL

didn't we say that last game

there has been games like this against Caps last 10+ years, its just that we are kind of tired this season, but 10 years ago this would be considered great game

 

[reino]

didn't we say that last game

Yes LOL

Last 4 have been solid, really. The two losses were simply egregious finishing.
Today they scored 4 on 19 high danger chances, so they won. League average rate, more or less.
Last game was 2 goals on 25 HDCF's.

If they play with this much heart until the end then I'll be satisfied, whatever happens.

 

[Ryder71]

So we blew a three goal lead with under what eight minutes? Fortunately one of the games best players found the back of the net. Pittsburgh is very lucky to win this game after that late debacle. Lucky as hell!

 

[Hank Plank]

I hope the Pens are able to get the WC1 spot. Id much rather watch them against the Canes than Bruins.

Imagine being which ever team plays us, so much confidence that if they get down in the game no problem. tl:dr; we have no chance against either

 

[Ryder71]

I love seeing Geno comfortable in his own skin. He's a sensitive, thoughtful dude.

He's a man after my own heart.

 

[TimmyD]

Lol

I knew the minute Geno took that penalty that if the Caps scored a goal there, that would be the play that changed the game. Regardless of the outcome that was going to be the play that was pointed at

 

[Ryder71]

Good Geno interview

I can't think of one that is bad to be honest. LOL

 

[Pancakes]

Well said. Tough games to watch when you badly need the two points but I love it.

Games like this are why I still want playoff hockey. This is what it's all about.

We will miss meaningful hockey when it's gone. I don't know how well people remember the post Jagr pre Sid years any more, but they were not at all fun. And there's no guarantee our next rebuild goes anywhere near as quick or as well.

We might be out of the playoffs for a decade like Buffalo once Sid and Geno retire. So soak it all up, enjoy whatever is left.

 

[Ugene Magic]

That poehling penalty was BS, he never touched him. Letang trying to give the game away all on his own, again. Geno restored the lead (Great stuff Geno!), but blowing a 3-0 lead again has to be demoralizing.

Win is a win... I guess. 60 minutes just isn't their thing.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

4 of the next 5 for the Isles are vs playoff teams.

Not sure if that's a good thing, cuz looking at their results this year they seem to shit the bed a lot against bad teams.
