Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Isles | Loss | Throwing away points to our rivals

[OnMyOwn]

Gonna be a struggle to keep a WC spot. Really need to start stringing some wins together.

I'm doing my part.

 

[The GM]

People! Take it easy on Casey. Look at his salary and look at his save percentage. Everything is going to be ok.

Can't win when you have to score six every game. Sullivan sucks but Desmith is worse.

Imagine what it would be like if we had an NHL goaltender?

 

[Andy99]

We play in less than 24 hours against the Devils…thanks shitty NHL scheduling…Sullivan better start Tokarski in that one..it doesn’t really matter because we’re f**ked anyway lol…

 

[Gurglesons]

5 to 2 xgoals lmao we dominated that game.

You're allowed to make saves. Sorokin made plenty of them.

If only we had ZAR-Blueger-Tanev this team would easily beat the Islanders in the playoffs.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

The Pens suck but the f***ing refs let the Isles play the last 2 periods without having to remotely worry about getting called for a penalty, which totally favors the Isles' style of play.

A no-call led directly to the winning goal and the 2nd goal came after a soft call on the Pens totally shifted the momentum of the game.

And the league's ideology is "let the players decide" but what the refs did tonight was the opposite. They 100% called the last 2 periods to help the Isles make a comeback. It is pathetic.

 

[Gumbercules]

They're 4-5 forwards, 3 defenseman and a goalie short of being a competitive team.

The same as it is now when we consistently blow leads every f***ing game regardless of who has been in net for five years straight lol.

 

[Extra Texture]

I’m normally pretty even keel but that’s absolutely f***ing ridiculous. All f***ing year, giving up goals right after we score, can’t hold onto leads, it’s a f***ing disgrace. They get up 2 and just coast. Completely unacceptable

Zero poise, whatsoever. They give up a goal against so frequently, you’d think they were trying to spot the other team one

 

[GregR]

Nelson and Lee, two more good Islanders players the Penguins make look like Hall of Famers, joining Derek King, Kyle Okposo, and a host of other schlubs through history.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Never expected this to go otherwise.

Fire Mike Sullivan already.

The blaming of Casey DeSmith is absolutely hilarious.

If Sullivan cannot see that the 3rd line is shit together then he is a moron. Hextall really killed this team with the Carter and Kappy deals.

 

[Trade]

When Jarry comes back we’ll only blow leads and lose 3-2 instead of 5-4.

 

[vodeni]

CDS sucks but thats such an easy call..this defense blows chunks, Letang and Pettry and Petts are awful, when your supposedly top 3 dman are awful and can't defend for the life, you may as well have hasek there...
The second Isles scored the third it was all over the wall

 

[Jobeycool]

Maybe this will lead to bigger trades to get younger defensemen on this team, which is badly needed.

 

[Turin]

Where to even start. They’ve turned into the 2018 or 2019 Flyers.

 

[Tender Rip]

The most Penguin of losses.

Wonder why no one tires of it other than fans.

 

[vodeni]

and this coach is so beyond his expiration date

 

[Lomez]

The absolute lack of depth on this team is horrifying. A few truly transcendent players surrounded by plugs and slugs. They really don't deserve the playoffs. Just spare us the disappointment. s

 

[TNT87]

Carter iced the puck which led to the POJ penalty. Then loses the FO clean and they tied it up. Really good sequence for him.

Absolutely no one is surprised by the outcome tonight.

 

[Pens1566]

Blew a 4-2 lead. Good job guys.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Pathetic. So much dead weight on this team

When you blow this many leads, that's on the coaching staff. It's well past time for a change.

The penguins should of fired Sullivan after losing to Montreal in 2020.

 

[66-30-33]

Wait...we lost? how? I was playing a game from the 2nd period on.

What???

Deshit struck again

Already in playoffs form I see.
