Post-Game Talk: PO #2 | FLYERS 5 at Penguins 1 | Fri., April 13, 2018, 7:00 pm ET

Should he have NOT braced himself?

My view is that Giroux got hit and his backward momentum was heading toward Letang, so he made the most of it. Whether his split-second thought was "Brace for impact" or "I am going to slam him" is known to Giroux and God alone.

It looks like he tried to make contact. It’s not Gs fault he got interfered by Crosby and Letang has the balance of a small child. He should have fallen back, not flipped onto his neck.

I thought Filppula looked like hot garbage. The guy literally did nothing on the ice.

Filppula actually posted a positive CF% LUL

I was reading a bunch of Pens-sided coverage and no one mentioned that Hornqvist was punching a prone player (Patrick) in the head or got a misconduct. It's as if watching that team on a regular basis turns your brains to mush.

 

[Rebels57]

out of all the penguins , the guy i don't see h0w anyone could root against is Letang. Just look at what that guy has been through. He is not a dirty player.

Letang is a dirty piece of shit.

Guess you forgot what he did to Timonen?

 

[Jtown]

Letang is a dirty piece of ****.

Guess you forgot what he did to Timonen?

giroux too is a dirty piece of **** i guess you forgot what he did to zubrus. Im not going to judge a player on one event 6 years ago.

agree to disagree...i hate letang.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

I also like how TSN highlights had to show a Malkin goal from Game 1 (twice) because there were nothing else pro-Penguin to include.

infuriating...

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

I don‘t care if Letang is likeable or not. What I know is he‘s damn important for the Pens. As far as I am concerned the Giroux situation was unintentional and does not deserve a suspension but I do not have to decide. Letang could be hurt and this is the exact reason why they have to hit him even more with LEGAL checks.

He is their undisputed No. 1 d on a so-so blueline and a corner stone on their PP. Making him inefficient will be huge.

Letang has a history of dirty hits.

Giroux does not.

Yeah, and Flip's 12-17 (71%) on his draws last night was pretty useful.

the comeau and oshie hits are clean as a whistle. The first hit was iffy but imo not predatory.

WATCHING THAT TIMMO DEAL AGAIN...I WANT TO BREAK LETANGS FACE. COMPLETE POS.

Letang has been suspended a couple of times in his career, and should have been suspended for slashing that Ranger in the face a couple of years ago. He's a pretty reckless player at times, and has a tendency to act like an ass. As others have said, I don't feel for a guy like that getting lit up in a freak collision. Kind of like how Penguins fans wouldn't feel bad for someone like Simmonds in a similar situation.

The first one is absolutely predatory, but my main problem is his stick work throughout his career. I remember in the playoffs against the Rangers a year or so back, he crosschecked someone in the face.

Hit on Oshie is interference.
Hit on Comeau was blindside.

These are just a few examples. There are more.

 

[Striiker]

Letang has a history of dirty hits.

Giroux does not.

Has Letang ever been arrested for abusing a police officer?




Checkmate.

I guess this is all we can talk about after a big win. Couturier must've had some points last night?

This is really annoying the shit out of me so I'm going to ask again without using funny nicknames: What did Manning and Hornqvist do to get misconduct penalties? They didn't show anything on TV but after-play chirping and then Hornqvist leaving the ice pissed off.

ok interference is 2 minute penalty. that happens frequently.

Comeau hit was a body hit. nothing to do with the head.

This is all I could find
