A goaltender is needed.I'm laughing my butt off, since everything I said came true.
1) Couts and Provorov are the heart of this team, both injured, both playing through those injuries and almost winning a big game.
2) Voracek, uh, still want to give me crap for being willing to trade him, see any fight in him?
3) Giroux, yes he had a big game against a Rangers team that was headed home, but when it counted? He's still a good player, but he showed in this playoff series that his best days are behind him. Still has value as a veteran mentor, but will need Couts or Patrick to carry him.
4) Told you Laughton was a LW, he looks far more comfortable there than at center
Gudas really screwed up in the second period, up to then he looked like he was getting his mojo back.
Ghost isn't the great player y'all kept saying he was, Pens shut him down and forced him into mistake after mistake. If he can't regain his pre-surgery burst, they're going to have to scheme to protect him.
Filppula came back to earth, and Patrick will be great but at 19 expecting him to carry this team is way too much to ask
Raffl played a heck of a game, he's limited, but he never surrenders, just belongs on a 4th line at this point in his career
Cross your fingers that MacDonald showed enough in this series to be traded with salary retained.
What I saw was a team that just ran out of gas in the 3rd period, if Gudas doesn't screw it up, maybe they Hakshell their way to victory, the Provorov miscue was an injured player on tired legs.
Neuvirth made some great saves but didn't pull off a "Hammond."
98 points, taking the Pens to 6 games, if I had said in September that would be the outcome this season most of you would have said great season.
No shame, last two games was Flyers hockey, now we just have to add some talented players who can play it right.
Two better defensemen.
And some veteran leaders.
That’s what’s needed.
Then we can judge the coach in facts rather than feelz.
