Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Panthers | loss | Atrocious reffing and lack of heart tonight

[Zirakzigil]

Team looked like hot garbage tonight. Not a lot of positives. Reffing was especially questionable tonight. Zucker the only one who really showed life today. Game got ugly in the end and the refs completely lost control. That slash deserves a suspension as well. Hope Letang is okay. Wish we had more Zuckers on the team with the way it ended.

The pens have themselves to blame for that

Deserve any injuries they got

That was pathetic. Trying to extract an ounce of flesh when there's no one who can.

Score goals. f***tards.

 

[Rudy Russo]

42 shots against the pens tonight. Ugly game for the penguins tonight.

 

[66-30-33]

*angry face*

 

[Honour Over Glory]

So yeah that was a game. Sullivan went full mental dipshit and did nothing to spark anything.

Fun!

 

[Flying Dego]

Coach gotta find a way to make his team get to their game.

 

[HuskerTornado]

All those big deadline acquisitions, stunned they looked like this.

"We have a set of standards here that everybody adheres to, and it's not pick and choose. It's everybody," Cooper said. "It's how it was for today and those guys are an extremely important part of our team, but for 20 minutes tonight, I thought the other guys could get it done, and they almost did."

... this is a team that has gone to three straight cup finals, and they were sitting Kuch, Point and Stamkos for the 3rd period tonight, on the way to a 4th straight loss.

Just thought I'd make sure it got play.

Atrocious effort by the Pens in this one. And same old same old from our bench.

 

[Pancakes]

Florida looked like they wanted that game way more than we did.

And there's been a LOT of games like that this year. This team regularly gets outbattled and outskated.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

The refs reviewed a play where a player clearly intentionally hit another player in the jewels with his stick and decided that said individual's penalty should be reduced.

Imagine a football player not getting the gate after a review of him punching another player in the balls. It would never f***ing happen.

 

[Slaaapshuter]

Same coach. Same team.

Malkin had a noteworthy bad game. Looked clownish out there. Except that, most same players looked kind of the same as always.

 

[Clare2904]

Go Buffalo!

 

[metalan2]

I'd try Heinen - Carter - Granlund next game on the third line.

 

[Coastal Kev]

I pointed out yesterday that it's not a coincidence that they rolled into the TDL. Mission complete. No major changes, and the happy gang remains.

They are frauds

Cooper knows how to coach. Sully is a glorified babysitter.

Who's responsible for those things?

That's rhetorical btw. Lol

 

[vodeni]

after those eulogies about Sully's coaching last three games wonder what Yohes of the world will write now...maybe Hexy's fault that this team does not know how to exit their zone without stretch pass to the wall to a skater that stands still there

 

[Terrapin]

The refs suck. The league sucks. The other players suck. It's not how the game should be played. lol. Same shit I've been reading here for years. Newsflash, the league ain't changing. Ice the smallest, softest, slowest, oldest team in history if you want. Guess what, other teams aren't going to 'be nice' to you cause you think you're the moral authority of the league.

Get Sullivan, Hextall, and every other pacifist cuck in this organization the F out of here. Build a team that can compete in the league as it is, not how you wish it would be

 

[Sideline]

Oh no we suck again.

 

[Flying Dego]

This game just makes me wish even more we could of made a Jake for Tkachuk swap...

 

[canadianguy77]

All those big deadline acquisitions, stunned they looked like this.

Of course they look like this. The biggest issue of the roster remains. All Sullivan and Hextall did was blame his wingers and ship them out. He’s still here and we’ll suck as a team until he finally admits that his best days are long gone and he retires.

 

[MrBrightside]

The third line got absolutely run over.

DeSmith remains bad.

PP is worse than both.

Otherwise all is well.

 

[Pancakes]

What bothers me is we feel our way into games. We'll try to match whatever the team is doing. There's no sense of imposing our will on the opponent with this team.

Like once we realized how hard Florida was gonna work today, we kinda started matching that a little bit.

But by the time we did, we'd already dug a hole.

 

[Andy99]

It seems like from the get-go they came into this game expecting to lose…mindset wasn’t there at all and didn’t really change when they got down…no fight or smarts…the dads weren’t there, maybe that was the thing causing the last few wins…lol

big loser tonight with all of our competitors winning…now in WC2 spot and on the verge of slipping out

They lost because they played garbage hockey for most of the game, not because they lack toughness.
