Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Lightning| win | Marching Penguins ride the lightning to victory

[SomeDude]

If only they could beat a good team, eh?

 

[SEALBound]

They played much more structured and defensively responsible. And look what happens...a blow out win against one of the top cup contenders.

This team CAN win...IF they want to.

 

[Andy99]

Arguably their best game of the season.

Geno in God mode. He plays like that in April and May/June, they lift the Cup.

nah, the season ticket holders, the real experts on this forum, have told me that Geno has too many giveaways and just doesn’t care anymore, he’s lazy, can’t score at ES, and ruined team chemistry...we should’ve traded him

 

[LiffLaff]

Great game, but man was Geno flying tonight, his best game this year by far!
Love Friedmans scrappynes, you can tell he really gets under peoples skin, wish we had someone in that mold to play with Blueger and Mcginn on the fourth line when or if we ever have a full lineup.
Big props to Jarry as well, really solid again tonight.

This was total domination. Vintage Malkin performance, too.

Best game I saw all year. They didn't back down one inch from any of the physical stuff but they were still disciplined all over the rink. This team plays like this and they'll be hard to beat. It was obvious they had a little extra playing the champs. That power play is surgical.

Can't say enough about Jarry. The only way I can see this going sideways is if he has a rough start out of the gate in the playoffs. If we can get a couple solid wins to start I think that will do a ton for his confidence. So much respect though for how he rebounded, he took a lot of heat from everywhere after a pretty horrific performance and just put it all behind him. Impressive, impressive stuff.

Loved just about everything I saw although I need to see Kapanen get on the board still, not totally sold on him staying here even though that line is heating up. Heinen is playing a bigger role in that than Kapanen IMO. Still, L2 looking way better.

Big guns leading the way again. Another great game from Crosby. Malkin looked 25 tonight. I haven't seen those wheels yet this year, or the nasty streak. Bellemare thought he was going to take a pound of flesh and ended up on his ass watching a goal get scored on a breakaway. Absolutely superb shift and his best all-around game in the last 2-3 years. When Malkin is going the Pens are a different team.

No idea what will happen in the playoffs but I've enjoyed watching this team and it'll be a fun playoffs I think. Also, yeah I can't stand this Tampa team. Sorry. I know they are good. I know they won two (asterisk) Cups. Lol. I just can't stand them and they are entitled asses to me. I'd love to see us take a dump on them in the playoffs.

 

[Andy99]

Great game…I’d love to see us go on a 2015-2016 March run that make everyone go “wow, they really have a chance to lift the Cup”…do we have the legs for that?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I don't know about tomorrow I expect some slow legs.

Tonight felt good though. Lot of effort deserved the win.

Are you absolutely sure? You being you, I would expect such a stretch to be followed up with you worrying about burn out and not being able to perform when it matters. Daily .

 

[BigEezyE22]

Trade the next 2 1st rounders. f*** it. Get a solid top 6 winger and go for it.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Well we beat the shit out of the best team in the league and the 2x defending champs but I hated the line combos so we basically lost. Fire Sully and trade Malkin and Letang while we can still get something for them

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

The energy from the start of the game was key. It allowed them to dictate. Sometimes I think this teams biggest problem is their mental fortitude.

Geno and L2+

 

[Andy99]

Now, if we could only trade Kap + for Bertuzzi….

Jake-Sid-Bertuzzi
Heinen-G-Rust
McGinn-ERod-Carter
ZAR-Blueger-Boyle

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Pat is confused.

 

[Gurglesons]

f***ing losers

15-16 vibes.

 

[66-30-33]

Pat is confused.

Why am I confused?

Didn't we play Friedman at forward this year? Maybe that's our answer.

After this game I can see the value in adding another shit stirrer. Games like tonight used to go the other way. Maybe a real jerk can be the wildcard the Pens need.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Why am I confused?

The Maroon post game. He was saying that the Pens we’re playing how Tampa normally plays.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Hell of a game from favorite player.

 

[Mrs Crosby's Dryer]

Great win. Loved vintage Malkin in action.

If we can sustain this level of play for the next couple of weeks, we need to make a splash at the TDL to strengthen our chances at a deep playoff run. I know that we’ve eventually got to rebuild and replenish but it would be foolish to squander any of the remaining Sid/Geno/ Letang chances at another cup.

 

[Ryder71]

Statement victory, Best game they played all season.

 

[Ryder71]

Geno absolutely dominant, when he was out there he looked like vintage Lemieux! What a presence he was this evening. WOW!

 

[66-30-33]

The Maroon post game. He was saying that the Pens we’re playing how Tampa normally plays.

My stream cuts off once the game ends and they celebrate with the goalie. He picked the wrong team...just like Perry. The 3rd line with Carter and Perry would be cool. Too bad we didn't sign Perry, ah well Carter is also good.

 

[DRAGO 18]

+Good god Geno

 

[Ryder71]

Malkin +

Ya think?
