Pre-Game Talk: Pens vs. Flyers - Saturday March 19, 2016

[Hossa die Waldfee]

In some people's eyes, Sullivan's use of Kunitz is grounds for firing him. Not only is that incredibly stupid, but it's a great way to end up not having a coach.

Yeah it's incredibly stupid. You will not find the perfect coach. Even Babcock who is loved like a god around here, played his vets, until they died. I have some problems with Sully but he deserves a shot next year (if he doesn't get embarassingly swept in the playoffs, what will not happen)

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Giroux dove AGAIN.

 

[eXile59]

Was that Giroux diving again?

 

[ColePens]

Stop pumping your own tires.

Strong posting. Quick on the draw. Moderating like a beast.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I'm sure Flyer fans notice, but whatever injury Voracek has, is making him a different player. I have barely noticed him.

He has once less goal than Cullen in 10 less games. The ****?

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Two games in a row where the announcers wonder why the goalie isn't getting pulled...

 

[wizmet12]

maf/

 

[vodeni]

if anything screws us that will be our PP, the game would be out of reach now had we scored once

 

[ColePens]

Kessel again. Neutral zone.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Two games in a row where the announcers wonder why the goalie isn't getting pulled...

They don't want a Crosby goal

 

[Contender]

If only that Kessel pass would have connected.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

I guess a few games of desperation hockey makes everyone forget the usage of guys like Porter and Kunitz for the past few months.

Noted; don't casually mention we could benefit from possibly finding a legit NHL coach for the first time in a decade instead of promoting from within. Got it. Yikes.

You'd think everyone wouldn't be so on edge with how this game's been.

The widely regarded best coach in the game played Kris Draper and Dan Clearly until they literally died.

It's just dumb. Pens have been one of the hottest teams in the league the last 3 months but we gotta fire the coach and get rid of Cole who has been excellent lately so we can be perfect, which will never happen.

Flyers feed just showed a tweet that said 4 things everyone hates-
it then showed 4 images: the low wifi signal, buffering, low battery, and the Pens logo

Then they laughed, then Jones says,"What's the second one?" (buffering) the other guy says "low signal......no....I think it means down loading"

Then Jones says, "I don't use computers."

Philly fans top 5 ought to include Hygiene, Literacy, Sobriety, and Winning Stanley Cups along with The penguins...

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Gotta get greedy, Kessel.

 

[TNT87]

Go Phil.

 

[ColePens]

Let this line eat it for 2 minutes straight.

 

[Waffle Fries]

They are similar in that they are both very fast. Dupuis was a much smarter player and was great along the boards. He was extremely productive even when not with Crosby. I like Rust, but he has less than 10 career points

Rust is good along the boards. Rust has also played 50 career games. And Dupuis wasn't always 'extremely prodcutive.' He barely played during the Cup run, and when he wasn't with Sid here, he was with Staal. Hardly a difficult situation to produce in.

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue. I never said Rust was equal to Dupuis right now, just that Rust can bring similar to what Dupuis did for 1/6 the cost.

 

[ColePens]

Cullen/Rust have this weird awesome chemistry.

 

[ColePens]

Rust wins battles at an insane rate.

 

[TNT87]

What a nice game Rust is having even if he hasn't been able to finish.

 

[quins]

LOVING Rust today

 

[Fordy]

kunitz is the worst

 

[Waffle Fries]

That was the most difficult empty netter I've ever seen.

 

[ColePens]

Hornqvist doesn't get a point for doing all the work.

 

[Ogrezilla]

what the hell did Kunitz just do

Hornqvist doesn't get a point for doing all the work.

damn my fantasy team needs that assist so bad

wow no goal
