Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Wings| Win | Good ole fashioned beating

[Gurglesons]

He's no ZAR. ZAR would have had a xGF% of 99% today, but somehow manage to prevent his entire line from having a single goal in an 11-goal outburst.

Pettersson actually kind of fit that role today.

Second best xGF% and had 0 points in an 11 goal game.

Didn't want to participate in the gdt but my goodness that was a hilarious game, not for the Dead Wings tho.

Brian Boyle 6 shots tonight

 

[Ryder71]

Even I had a goal this game. Good times.

And your goal was on display as sportscenters plays of the night. Well done!

It is really stunning how far the Wings have fallen. I know we're headed for a dip when this era is over, but I hope it's nothing like what they went through. They haven't been a factor since 2009.

Just to pointlessly complain...

I didn't like the Wings 2nd goal at all. The Penguins pass backwards too often for my liking and too instinctively. It isn't always the safe play and Zohorna left Matheson out to dry on that one.

I mean other than that, outstanding. We need more RGR, hopefully it's our playoff L2. I don't hate Erod on L1 and wouldn't mind him staying.

 

[Pens x]

Are people really saying we gave up too much in that trade?

Twitter had been very defensive of ZAR.

Get it. Defensive. Cos he is.

 

[Pens x]

So, the Pens FINALLY got your approval and all they had to do was get rid of ZAR, Simon and put up 11 goals. And you wonder why I have contempt for you?

I’ve been complaining all season about these turds. Sleepy finally redeemed himself after signing trash. I’ve grown to hate our depth guys with our brain dead coach. Sleepy dumped Lafferty, ZAR, and Simon - I’m pretty pumped. It’s amazing having an actual fourth line again, even though many here dismissed it’s value when we were playing Simon ZAR.

All you do is complain. It's one thing to criticize at times. I do so myself. But I can also appreciate the good aspects of the team. Not just harp on the negative all the damn time. Once we run into a buzz saw in the playoffs lets see your attitude then. Sometimes the other guys are a little better. You and everyone else will find that out. Hopefully not until round 2.

Pens = Will Smith
Wings = Chris Rock

I fully expect Bylsma to screw up in the playoffs, but he now has a roster that SHOULD be good enough to win a playoff series or two.

Speaking about that…lol…gonna be a major GIF

Brian Boyle 6 shots tonight

Boyle has been a fantastic addition

 

[Gurglesons]

Boyle has been a fantastic addition

Pretty crazy he somehow is putting up the god of defense's production numbers with Blueger.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Realistically, how much worse is Malkin now than in his prime?
He has been under P/GP or just barely over that (like this season) 6 times before.
Wouldn't say he's had particularly good linemates this year until recently.

His PIMs are down. I'd say he's playing some of the best defense of his career, outside of one season.

Yeah his foot speed is slower, but he was never a speedster. His shot isn't as hard. The stamina is worse.
But isn't he making some better decisions in the O-zone now?

Let's say 25 year old Malkin is 100% of his capabilities. What % would you give him now? How much has he declined?

Bylsma hasn't been here since before you were born, so like eight years ago. I really wish your parents would consider taking your phone or computer away from you at times.

I get it you are just nit picking. That was a lazy as hell goal against. But those unfortunately happen to every team time to time. Go through all 32 teams 82 games after the season is over and I’d be willing to bet you can find 1 or 2 goals against like that for every team. Now if it happens habitually and/or is the same player every time… that’s pause for concern.
