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

[WickedWrister]

Thought Rakell (and L1 in general) really drove the play tonight. Gamescore backs that up

 

[SomeDude]

For awhile I thought we were going to get the @Pens x special: a 1-0 shutout loss with Mark Jankowski scoring the only goal.

I have not had a drink since mid January. I'm quite offended by this accusatory tone by you. First saying I am pissy and second telling me I am drunk.

Nice. Team has been turning a corner with their play since the first Isles game.

I like watching them play well.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Isles lost in the shootout

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

+DOC

He was indeed very solid tonight, skated hard and wasn't afraid to take the puck to the net.

 

[Pancakes]

The Letang special. Has been that way for almost 20 years. This is why he’ll be in the hall of very good, when he had the ceiling of hall of fame.

He's long been one of my favorite players and I love the guy but when he's dumb he's reallllly dumb. Always been that way for sure.

Zucker tracker: 35th point with 22 games left.

Might come down to the wire.

I’ll be happy if he breaks 20 goals

 

[WickedWrister]

Isles lose

OT point but I'll take it

 

[Andy99]

Checks out.

That’s right…Blues just lost tonight and Kap didn’t have a point…they’re going to see what life is like with Kap on their team lol

 

[Jobeycool]

Playing good defense but the teams they are playing against except for Tampa Bay. The Pens are just a bit better than the other 2 teams.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I’ll be happy if he breaks 20 goals

Should be able to swing that if healthy. Only needs 3 more.

 

[dogthateats]

I actually root for my team to lose. Crazy, I know, but I want what is best for the boys. I am tired of being forced to watch unentertaining hockey. I watch the same game as you, but see it a little differently.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

I would really have to dig into my memory to identify a player that has fallen faster in my eyes than Bryan f***ing Rust.

…

 

[Nakawick]

He is making Letang expandable ....

Tanger will get fewer minutes and get fat?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Nice. Team has been turning a corner with their play since the first Isles game.

I like watching them play well.

Jeff Carter was also amazing tonight. You can see why he's getting these minutes. Just a monster at both ends and the PK ability. Fantastic all year.

 

[WickedWrister]

He was indeed very solid tonight, skated hard and wasn't afraid to take the puck to the net.

His straight line speed is very visible. Still wish he had a bit more skill but there's worse traits to have than size+speed. Chews up a ton of ice when he can get his legs going and open up

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

You just know some posters were hoping desperately for the Pens to lose on the basis of that Jankowski goal.

Complaining that they didn't beat the Preds hard enough just doesn't slap as hard.

 

[Zirakzigil]

He’s been exactly what we’ve needed this season.

 

[Gurglesons]

Jeff Carter was also amazing tonight. You can see why he's getting these minutes. Just a monster at both ends and the PK ability. Fantastic all year.

The only player with less ice time than Jeff Carter at 5v5 tonight was Archibald.

Amazing really. I don't even know why I mentioned that AHL SCRUB, Sprong and his pathetic 32pts in 48 games.

Zucker, I think, can crack 70pts this season. Hextall needs to get him locked up.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Relevant results:

Wings lost (vs Sens)
Sabres lost
Isles lost in OT
Panthers won

 

[Rudy Russo]

Buffalo lost tonight, and the Islanders lost in OT.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I can't remember the last time Sid scored on a breakaway.

 

[Andy99]

Good night points wise for the Pens compared to their WC competitors…

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The only player with less ice time than Jeff Carter at 5v5 tonight was Archibald.

Heinen was also amazing. I've been saying all season that he's been one of our best bottom 6 wingers.
