As we enter the home stretch and playoff season I just want to get a reminder through both to mods and posters in the team boards.

"If you troll an opponents or rival teams boards whether through posts, reacts or cross board quoting posts/cross board notifications, you will be warned and forum banned."

If we can be consitent on this, there will be zero tolerance on this because once one side does it the other side think they can too.

Any questions or querries, don't hesitaite to ask.

He'll scratch him game 1. We will lose then this will happen.

Nice to see ole' Gud lurking behind JJ and his weird puss!

 

[BusinessGoose]

In a season full of bad losses, this one is the worst of them. Still happening this late in the season.

I'm sure someone in a post game interview said "we have to learn from it" again

For the millionth time

 

[FlightlessBird]

Here's the excuse - not enough intense practices because of the schedule.

You wanna know the funny part? After saying this, they canceled practice tomorrow.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Grunching, but the Dragon +2.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I've done my best to shower whatever that was away

Mostly I was trying to get rid of a generally bad day that this game encapsulated well, but still.

I've found that watching the Pens after already having a bad day isn't a good idea.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Also, if anyone wants to re-watch Carter's shift in the third, you'll note that it *almost* resulted in yet another goal against because he chased behind the net and didn't notice that Habs player standing all alone in the slot. DeSmith actually made a save on that play otherwise Jeff "Patrice Bergeron" Carter would have been minus-5 on the night.

Game was like a microcosm of our whole season and issues. Bad starting goaltending. The usual annoying sequences like getting scored on immediately after we score to take a 2-0 lead, get scored on right after we kill a penalty, get scored on right at the end of the period when all we have to do is kill a few seconds and get to intermission. Loads of mental mistakes that undo any good we do. The kind of lack of focus, immaturity and blunders you'd expect from a young team that doesn't know how to win yet but we're one of the oldest teams in the league.

Hilarious all the dip-shits who thought grabbing quick was a bad idea… whelppppp here we are.

Oh we need a goalie

But this TEAM was going to find a way to lose no matter what

WEAKminded losers

 

[DesertPenguin]

This team is waltzing towards a bloodbath in Boston.

This team is waltzing towards a bloodbath in Boston.

This team seems to play well against good teams.

They ultimately stab themselves in the foot, but it would not surprise me if we took the Bruins to 6 or 7.

 

[Zbynek]

Our goalies are f***ing losers

 

[DesertedPenguin]

They play 3 in 4 days. Teams don't typically practice in that period.

This shit drives me nuts. These D-men have been playing hockey since Kindergarten.
Dumoulin has the front of the net secured. The Pens are FINE. They have Montreal on the perimeter.

View attachment 669271
Then Dumoulin's completely behind the net a few seconds later, leaving the net front totally exposed. He started gliding towards that Hab behind the net before the puck even got there.
If he literally just plants himself in front of Jarry then nothing happens on this play.

Any time I've seen the Pens diligently position themselves in the danger zone all game, they come out with a good defensive night.
But yet, this garbage keeps happening to professionals.

Even if Dumo has to go behind the net, he needs to communicate to Carter to replace him in that spot. Carter can't be expected to just know Dumo's gonna bail.
Plus it's Carter's job to telescope out to the point men quickly when the puck goes there, so they can't just walk in for a dangerous shot. He shouldn't be asked to do Dumo's job.

Dude, I've been posting this all the time... yes our goalie needs insulation and for the most part can't make electric saves BUT....

We literally can't defend- 2-3 times a game there is a Attacking Forward wide open and this board says, "Got to make a save..." that shot was so quick and fast... he's frozen on the pole and it's 33% chance to make a save without a Defender. Puck holder can fake and then bring it back 5-hole. He can stretch with speed and go top or bottom...

Jarry has been up and down. CDS is just as bad.

Our Defense is up and down.

L3 and L4 skate on ice....

You said it best, We are are and average team that plays average most nights... we are a finished product this year.

Can someone please explain what in the hell Joseph was doing on the last Montreal goal? If not for Carter, Petry and Jarry, we'd be talking about how bad Joseph was in this game

His speed has really been hiding his tunnel vision. He makes a lot of mistakes every game and attempts to recover by chasing down the puck carrier, ignoring everything else on the ice.

Dude seriously doesn't seem to understand he's playing for his job. Too bad, I like him, though not his game as much, but he's young and can get better and hopefully bigger. He has looked like shit in his most recent appearances.

I'll defer to this recap and comments -

The good players were good but the bad players were really bad. The Penguins drop one to Montreal.

[canadianguy77]

Jarry is sporting an .877 save percentage since coming back from his latest injury on February 20th. That’s a pretty far cry from the .921 save percentage in the games before.

What’s most concerning is that his 3 most miserable games this season have all happened in the last 3 weeks.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Time to go on another L streak eh??

Our goalies are f***ing losers

We never should have let MAF go, amirite??

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Our next 2 are both against the Rags??

Gross.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

At least there was this?

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Need more AHLers in the top 6, obviously.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

You know, I'm starting to question whether or not Carter and Jarry are very good at hockey.

 

[Pens x]

Send Petry back on the Habs plane.
