Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Preds| Win | And back to your regularly scheduled TDL Viewing

Geno's effort level ++++++++

How can you not love this guy?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Why did you keep stealing his truck? I bet it was a Dodge Ram. That's a wanker truck.

F-150 actually. Slightly less wankerish.

But anyways

As long as Dumo is on the roster Sully will play him 20+min every damn night

The boys showed character for a change after that first period where defense was on the usual level we have seen this year (i.e. appalling) and that terrible Letang blunder. But gifting chances to the opponents like that, including one on the final 20 seconds is not a recipe for success. Carter can't leave Josi of all people all alone when the game is on the line.

Also, Guentzel needs to be more opportunistic, another game where his line dominates, he has chances on the PP but he ends up with zero points. This time McGinn of all people produced a points when playing with Rakell and Sid who were great.

But two points are two points and the five on five play in attack especially was pretty encouraging. If only they could try something new on the PP, like, I don't know, not using Guentzel to screen the goalie, or different entries or something. Whatever they are trying is only working when the opponent falls asleep like Tampa.

This was a needed win. Can't toss these points away especially with TBs upcoming revenge game on us and then I believe we play the Rangers a ton.

It's gonna be tough sledding if they don't start finishing shots.

This is the streakiest Pens team I can ever remember watching. I don't think they're going anywhere but I'll give them credit for keeping it interesting.

Nice effort from Rust on the ENG. Also fun to see Sid and Geno with breakaway goals in back to back games. Like the old days!

I would absolutely wear a retro Flames jersey for Joey Mullen.

HF Pens: "The season's over. Sell for next year."

I mean, that's why I hardly post anymore. That, and I haven't been able to watch as much this season, so I can't be snarky enough to properly pick the team apart and sneer at anyone who'll take some regular season wins even though this team doesn't have a prayer of getting out of the first round, if they even make it there.

Rating the Penguins’ competition for a Wild Card spot

There are a lot of teams fighting for two Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference right now.

Letang did his best to deflate the team, but they somehow pulled it off!

 

[Ugene Magic]

Wow. I actually like that.

You would....

The only thing I like is that it's not a Pens Jersey.

 

[Night Shift]

You would....

The only thing I like is that it's not a Pens Jersey.

I think because it makes me think of hot sauce and I love hot sauce.

To answer, his defensive effort on most nights, turnovers, indecision on the power play, and bad penalties.

Boy Letang is infuriating to watch this season. He should just focus on defense rather than chasing points. He's sinking this team.

Dude, how crazy is it I was thinking about you when I made that post. How the hell have you been? Is Geno playing badly enough to your liking this season?

He's a fantastic veteran partner for Kris Letang.

Wanted this one but with Backlund. However the NHL is dumb and doesnt allow you to customize them online and Markstrom is the only premade one they have. So dumb.

Anyways, this is very off topic.

 

[The Old Master]

. Hustle isn't a penalty.

if you play for the pens. and in today's nhl it might be.

Crosby only needs 19 points in the remaining 22 games to get to 1500 for his career. That'll be quite a milestone.

Think he's got another 500 left in him? What maybe 7 years?

If he hadn't missed almost 2 full seasons when he was in his prime - all other things equal - he'd be flirting with 2000 by the end of his current contract. I think he'll end up in the mid 1700s or low 1800s unless he plays for a really long time.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Yeah, between the Steckel/Hedman injuries, Sid lost the peak years McDavid's currently enjoying. Pretty wild to think about where he'd be points-wise without devastating injury in his best years. Going by his career average points per game and throwing in Ovechkin's games played, he'd be at 1700 points right now.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

My God Hextall is going to do something stupid isn't he? lol

Guess I had that feeling all along....
