Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Habs | Loss | Pathetic

[TNT87]

The PP lost them this game by the way. Again.

And no changes will be made to it.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Can't let that pass get across. One job.

Petry played it horribly. And I swear Jarry is over committing from side to side.

Plus, what's with Jarry's loose pads? It's creating gaps around his skates and accounted for at least one goal tonight.

 

[Gumbercules]

Still lots of Problems. However L1 and the PP being a disaster is the big key to turning this around. Fix that, and the rest of the problems will seem less severe.

 

[vodeni]

Geno has no concept of 3 on 3 game, instead of skating back, holding on a puck and make change, he dumps the puck,

 

[dogthateats]

- L1
- Letang
- Sullivan
+ Malkin
+ McGinn
+ Zucker
+ me

 

[AjaxTelamon]

I'll take the 5 points out of 6, and if MS can learn a few lessons out of all this. Rust being the 2nd highest TOI forward at 19 mins with Zucker and Rakell at 13 and 14 is insane. 4 minutes of PP TOI when Rakell and Zucker combined had 2.

 

[PensandCaps]

Malkin a year older, riddled with leg injuries, has much more burst in his skating than Crosby. Clearly Malkin cares more.

 

[Al Smith]

I don't get the strategy of being so aggressive in OT. Could look at the 5/6 points on the road trip as good, or that they blew three leads tonight as really sucking.

 

[SEALBound]

We need to break up L1 but I'm not entirely sure how you do it.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

There is 3 hours I am not getting back.

Oh, and Letang drives me nuts. Has an entire wing open in 3 on 3 ot, shoot? Nah, spin-o-rama pass.

The resulting chance wasn't bad, but if you have an entire open wing in the offensive zone shoot the puck!

This team still plays like they did when the horses were in their 20's but they need to simpify their offensive game at this point.

 

[Hotep Numminen]

every time they score in the second half of a game, you know the other team is going to score within the next minute. that's the penguins guarantee

 

[Gurglesons]

Mike Sullivan is so far past his expiration date I can smell him in San Diego.

Impossible to judge a team that plays Zucker and Rakell less than 13 minutes in a game when they are on fire.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Jarry was awful and we gave up 40+ shots.

Booourns

He wasn’t even awful. He wasn’t great but he kept us in it honestly. He made a crap load of ten bell saves. We just f***ing suck infront of him.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Geno has no concept of 3 on 3 game, instead of skating back, holding on a puck and make change, he dumps the puck,

I think he wasn't anticipating Jake wanting to change, and wanted him to fetch it. Bad split second decision.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

GCR had a scorching 2 SOG at ES tonight, one for Sid, one for Jake.

They're warmin' up, guys.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

We need to break up L1 but I'm not entirely sure how you do it.

Yeah, Rust needs to be demoted, but I don't know who you replace him with.

Malkin's line needs to stay together. McGinn is the best winger out of the bottom six, but I much prefer him on the left side than the right.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Anyone see Sid recently?

I saw him 8 games ago or so...

 

[Hotep Numminen]

We need to break up L1 but I'm not entirely sure how you do it.

i would start at the knees

 

[AjaxTelamon]

- L1
- Letang
- Sullivan
+ Malkin
+ McGinn
+ Zucker
+ me

You were noticeable every time you went over the boards tonight.

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

f*** you PP

losers

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Lol Rakell and Malkin didn't deserve that after the game they played.

L1 is killing this team. Rust is killing L1. The fact that this coach continues to play him on L1 is ridiculous. How many goals have they let in? How many chances and odd man rushes? How many shifts do they get caved? They give momentum away each game.

How many times does the coach need to see Letang pump fake and kill the powerplay? We have a great one-timer and I haven't seen it in weeks. Letang never passes to Malkin until he can't shoot. Then he plays Rust there instead of Rakell. What the f*** is going on? This coach runs an old boys club and Rust and Letang are in it and Zucker and Rakell aren't.

Zucker is what Rust used to be. I've been hard on Rust and now I'm going to nuke him. He's so lazy. He's so f***ing entitled. He must think that he doesn't have to earn each shift anymore. He must think he's made it and he can pick which shift he works.

I'm watching guys like Rakell and Zucker and yes Malkin put everything they have on the ice for the team and then I watch Rust coast around and not miss a shift playing with a top 5 player all time.

This coach has major issues.

 

[Pancakes]

Mike Sullivan is so far past his expiration date I can smell him in San Diego.

Impossible to judge a team that plays Zucker and Rakell less than 13 minutes in a game when they are on fire.

I want a new coach, but I don't think it's fixing anything.

 

[Bowski]

Jarry with plenty of rebounds and zero clutch factor (negative if considering the Isles series).
This is like JS Aubin copium all over again. Cut this mediocre farm boy loose, and find a real #1.

 

[eXile3]

Crosby looks tired and disinterested.

 

[PensandCaps]

Yeah, Rust needs to be demoted, but I don't know who you replace him with.

Malkin's line needs to stay together. McGinn is the best winger out of the bottom six, but I much prefer him on the left side than the right.

just swap Raks and Rust. Raks isn't doing anything with Zucker and Malkin aside from good positioning. L1 was tremendous with Rakell, its such an obvious move.
