Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Isles | Shootout loss

[Jobeycool]

Letang looked tired and how come no Rackell in the shootout..

+ GCR 2.0
- Letang

LOL this game…

 

[OnMyOwn]

Guentzel and Letang can't score in shootouts to save their lives but have guaranteed spots

That was an obvious situation to try Raks…but nope. Gotta let the same 3 shoot every singe time.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

Letang, Sid, and Jake are a combined 3-26 but let’s not use Rakell whos 4-4, great coaching sully

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Do those who have been saying "move on" after every game lately realize how few games left there are before the POs? Can't be pissing away games right now and expect not to get embarrassed in the 1st round again.

 

[BillyOcean]

Letang has played hockey for 30+ years of his life. How does he still not know how to defend 2 on 1s?

 

[wgknestrick]

Pens couldn't win a playoff game even if they had the 3v3 OT and shootout. This team wins 0 playoff games. PITs 5v5 is so so bad.

Zero accountability anywhere.

 

[StaalForOne]

Rust has been the only player worth a damn in the shutout this year.

Sid and Letang, and to a lesser extent Guentzel all used to be near automatic. Now they stink at them. Better bring back mustache boy next year

 

[Coastal Kev]

Great game.

That's really all I'm hoping for out of this team.

MORE EROD PLEASE

 

[SomeDude]

I don't know how you can justifying rolling the dice on Letang approaching his late 30's. It is almost certain he will be an anchor by the end of his next contract.

When his legs go, he legit is going to be one of the worst players in the league. Right now he still has the athletic ability to make up for a lack of any kind of hockey sense but that won’t last too much longer.

 

[canadianguy77]

Probably deserved 2 points in this one, but it’s one of those games that you’re still thankful to get 1.

I think I’d rather have a Brett Pesce on this team rather than a Letang. He was decent in regulation but played like he suffered a lobotomy immediately before OT. Just sort of getting tired of watching his antics in games like this. I’d rather have someone who plays a steadier game.

 

[Al Smith]

We'll hear Mears say on Thursday that the Penguins are attempting to extend their two game streak of non-regulation losses. Need to see the bright side of things.

 

[66-30-33]

--- Letang

Dude is with 10 mill one night and then looks like a 3rd dmen paring the next.

He is so bad on the PP.

I'm at the point I just don't give a crap if he's not with the team anymore. Let us burn without him.

 

[ncm7772]

Those shootout attempts were embarrassing.

I respect the team’s battle level, but there was nothing tonight that makes me feel better about this team.

As I’ve said before, Letang can’t get overpaid by Montreal soon enough. I respect and am thankful for everything he’s done, but I’d like to see what the Pens can do with his salary.

 

[tom_servo]

Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. Then I quietly left again but they saw me and waved me towards them. But I stopped short of the threshold so they yanked my collar. I stood there for a sec and we looked at each other and all left together.

 

[Gurglesons]

What happened to Rust?

Put on a Penguins jersey.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Embarrassing not to use RR.
Sid continues to think he’s a plug and isn’t allowed to deke.
No words for 58

Sid has basically been doing the same thing for 10+ years in the S/O.

 

[pensfansince88]

Letang had the best attempt. At least the goalie moved.

 

[Al Smith]

+++DeSmythe, Rakell, Guentzel, Matheson, Zucker.
Zucker is on a redemption arc with me. Loved his game tonight.

--Rust injury, Letang in OT/SO, really the 4-on-3 PP in general
-----Dumo on the 4th goal. Maybe +/- is a garbage stat after all if Dumo leads the team. He is so close to being outright done.

If you've got Dumo on the 4th, you need Blueger on the 3rd, with Carter thinking WTF are you doing.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

- CAR won

 

[dogthateats]

Honestly thought Malkin was one of our best players tonight

 

[SomeDude]

Letang had the best attempt. At least the goalie moved.

Can’t shoot it in his glove if you don’t shoot.

 

[Darren McCord]

Trade Petts. Move on from Letang and spend the 12+ million to upgrade the defense.

Trade Petts. Move on from Letang and spend the 12+ million to upgrade the defense.

Keep Matheson, fire the rest.

 

[tom_servo]

Those shootout attempts were hilarious. I loved Guentzel lying perfectly still all the way in until he found a clear shot at the glove.
