GDT: Pens vs. Rangers - Need to rallllllly

[Hobodrifter]

This team needs to be ready to play next game, period. I don't see what Rust adds over Sundqvist. Hope to God Fleury or Murray is ready next game.

1) why is Lovejoy playing down by 2 with 6 minutes left?

2) why is Lovejoy behind the offensive net when the puck is up high?

Incompetent staff!

 

[eXile59]

Letang at 28 minutes already. You have two d-men sitting in the press box better than at least two on the ice right now.

 

[TheSniper26]

If I'm Sullivan, I'm not waiting too long to pull the goalie. There's no point in waiting with the the way they've looked today. They're not generating anything. Just pull the goalie and hope it sparks something with enough time to get back in it.

 

[Coach Travis]

This one remind you of the NJ loss? Just totally out of left field.

Not quite that bad. I mean, the Rangers seem to have been getting every. single. break. in this game. Overall the Rags have been the more mistake-free team and have won the goaltending matchup.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

I just can't see us winning the series playing this way. I hate to be a negative nancy but the Rangers have had the better of the play both games right now. If it keeps up like that we'll need truly opportunistic scoring and better goaltending than them to win and I can't see the latter happening.

This is exactly what I was worried about before the series. Everyone was so blinded by the run at the end of the season.

I have no idea what it is with this team. No matter the coach, no matter the personnel .. it seems like, when the stakes are high, they cant rise to the occasion.

 

[Finesse]

Bonino.

 

[DoktorZaius]

Bonino.

That was just emblematic of the entire game.

 

[KIRK]

Hell no. Nothing was left field about this. We played just as bad game 1 but everyone accepted it because we won 5-2. Rangers have dictated play for large stretches both games and this is the result we're more likely to get when that happens.

Game 1 was like that NJ game too, except we got a lot of bounces and the Rangers blew a ton of chances.

EDIT: Maatta's speed negates the icing.

 

[Gurglesons]

Is Bonino's hand broken?

Dude can't take a pass at all today.

Absolutely. Pens have only played "well" for about half of game 1 and a 5-7 min stretch here in the 3rd.

 

[Boocock]

You did see some of the plays he made today, yes?

He's a big part of why this is only a two-goal game.

Murray isn't even working out, so it sounds like he's still a ways off.

Rust was playing well before he got hurt. He's been a nothing today just like most of them. I'd like to see Sundqvist playing before Fehr. What does Fehr add?

 

[chethejet]

Well it is now a series. Sully has to drive it home. Aint good enough. If the high payroll performs like this, time for a who wants to play here. Ice time earned. Next practice should be the toughest day of the year.

 

[Boocock]

Not much at RW. He has played better at C. If Malkin moved with Crosby full-time, he'd be a great add.

 

[Pancakes]

I'm betting Maf will play game 3 now, but none of that matters if we play the way we have. My hope is that because we're going to be on the road that we'll simplify and get back to the way we're supposed to play.

 

[Lustaf]

Zatkoff is the goalie for this series. I don't think we're seeing flower or Murray anytime soon.

With that said, the team can still win. Lots to tighten up and correct going forward in front of him.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Game 1 was like that NJ game too, except we got a lot of bounces and the Rangers blew a ton of chances.

EDIT: Maatta's speed negates the icing.

Too bad the pens can't play against Raanta every game.

 

[Pancakes]

Too bad the pens can't play against Raanta every game.

I wonder if we even win game 1 if Lundqvist is able to stay in. I bet he stops at least a few of those.

 

[mpp9]

Great performance from 71.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Kessel should score in his own net .. just for the hell of it.

 

[SEALBound]

Jeez horny...

 

[Jacob]

Great zone entry.
