Post-Game Talk: Pens vs Preds win: Hold on to your butts

[orby]

I know it's technically better for us to be giving up this year's pick to SJ instead of next but it's gonna be a loooong summer having no draft lottery to look forward to and no playoffs to care about

I think there will be some interesting signings (please God not Carter) and trades to break up the monotony.

Watch WSH and DET lose in regulation and we get in with an OTL.

And Sullivan not being fired lol…god please I won’t be able to stand this man’s face during the off-season…

 

[Jacob]

They were just chomping at the bit to get Harkins back in the lineup. So bizarre.

Coaches can have their quirks, but you’d better win or else they just look like incompetence.

I dont think there was a chance of that even before this mini run the Pens went on but with them getting close there's 0% chance Sully faces any heat now

Kid in a Carter jersey get the St. Ivany jersey. What a wild time.

Id call child protective services on that kids parents

What sort of depraved psychopath would force their kid to wear that crap

 

[spfan]

In the very unlikely scenario that Pens, Detroit, Caps all lose in regulation. Who has the tie breaker? Philly or Caps?

I watched the Preds broadcast. Pretty good commentary... although they were constantly talking about Lauzon setting the all time NHL record for hits throughout the game, as though that's a stat that even means anything.

Exactly, It wouldn't have mattered. Sullivan would have stayed if they finished dead last

 

[Zirakzigil]

I like the Flyers chances tomorrow against the Caps, Flyers are fighting for a slim chance to get in too.

Habs showed they can hang with the Wings. I imagine they play hard tomorrow in front of their fans and to be spoiler. Hopefully they pull it out.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Dubas deserves a ton of blame as well for sitting on his hands all year.

You’re right. But I’m pretty sure Sully would’ve played Eller-DOC in OT with Sid, Geno, McDavid and Matthews on the roster.

 

[GregR]

They're going to get two straight full 82-game seasons of mid/late 30s Crosby and Malkin and miss the playoffs both times

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Reilly Smith signed his "Wish I was still in Vegas."

Flyers I think...

Maybe it was on sale?

That lady looked really disappointed to be getting the Jarry jersey.

Philly would. Tied in rw, row, tw, head to head. But they have a better goal differential which is the fifth tie breaker

Let’s hope so. I have no faith in MTL but Philly beating Wash wouldn’t surprise me

That's sure a thing that is with some stuff.

 

[The GM]

I think it will come down the the final game against the isles, Benstrem will score a natural hatty in the first or however many goals he needs to cost us a third, and then we will go into sully turtle mode and the lead will slowly slip away with a goal in the last minute of each period and the final goal in OT after sully starts Carter and harkens

 

[BusinessGoose]

They should have asked, id kick in $50 for them to buy something

 

[Shaftception]

Especially after they dealt Guentzel at the deadline too.

Many ways they'll be able to spin this late season run to compliment the coaching staff, which the local media will be more than happy to regurgitate.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

WTF happened to Bemstrom where he couldn't be at the jersey signing?

 

[SEALBound]

God Acciari looks 55.

 

[Taswell]

Pens W + DET & WSH OTL or L.

PHI has won 2 straight and will best rested. DET went life and death with MTL. I actually think the hardest task will be beating NYI.

Honestly, I'd have them throw the game to you guys if you promised not to injure anyone on the Isles....playoffs are better with Sid in them.
Already lost Dobson which is probably a killing blow, anyone else and it's a laugher for Carolina.

Best of luck, from the other team that was dead in the water but went on a great run.

Nah, I am fully expecting this scenario: Detroit down big, Philly/Washington tied late in the 3rd, Philly needs a regulation win to have a chance so they pull their goalie, Washington scores on the EN to win in regulation.
