Post-Game Talk: Predators 3, Penguins 1 - Tip of the Hat to Regular Season Rinne

[WayneSid9987]

Some will say the shots/chances were there and they just couldn't get more past Rinne but the lines are going stale.
Rust should 100% be off Sid's line.
Phil should 100% be tried with your best 2-way C atm, Bjugs.
Also PP1 is still terrible or terribly inconsistent.

The pain of dropping $500 for a new bed and mattress is nothing compared to the pain I get from watching this team fail to score goals.

Dude, that's not expensive at all

Rinne had to beat the Pens eventually.

 

[vodeni]

Jordon Binnington, Carter Hart and Pekka Rinne...what do they have in common? Last three home games and they all stoned us ...it’s not the goalie....Pens O was MIA...it’s not just missing G and Letang...we’re not getting deflections, not getting to rebounds, not holding on to pucks and using skill to get the goalies moving or off their angle...it’s the Pens forwards as well as a lack of good shooting D men who make a well placed shot from the point...

other than the third line, our net presence is non existent

 

[Nakawick]

Schultz is coming off a broken ankle and is not Letang. Maatta just coming back and moving Dumo on the right is not optimal. But it gets Maatta some playing time. At this point I think the team is confident and just as content to start a series on the road in any building. I think they have another gear in them.

Maybe we will be a WC after all

 

[Andy99]

Anyway, big game against CAR Sunday as they could move within 2 points of us with a win...we haven’t clinched a PO spot..

Also, don’t look now but DET can’t be penciled in as a sure win either...no tanking there...they’ve won 6 of their last 7 games with really solid D and goaltending...no gimme

You also have to remember I am cheap and don't like spending money

I think playing as an underdog to the Caps might be the best thing that could happen to the Pens...they hate when there’s no adversity and they’d be favored over the Isles...it might be a trap series, with too many formerly injured players returning who have yet to find their form in the lineup...

[WayneSid9987]

They've been their worst lately at home so maybe starting on the road in the PO's isn't a terrible thing.

I hate that they're probably gonna go with Dumo on his offside again on Sunday...
I hate that they're probably gonna go with the same forward lines on Sunday...
Setting themselves up for failure right off the hop.

Olli's gettin' torched vs DET. Bank on it.

I am an old woman, heed my advice ... don't skimp on your mattress/bedding and don't buy cheap toilet paper

edit: Pens go down shooting..and shooting...and shooting

It is NEVER a good thing when Carl MF Weathers goes down. NEVER....

Binnington and Hart have been studs the second half of the year and Rinne was very good tonight. They could have had more traffic and tips, but it wasn't that they didn't have that game plan. Rinne just played really well.

That isn't to say you don't have a point overall.

 

[chethejet]

Pens were OK. Never really sustain anything but Pens were OK. But the Pens need to beat the Canes Sunday. Nothing is has to but that is pretty close to that. Letang and Malkin will need to play a couple games here to get back into the flow. Pens can win the next 4 and wrap up 2nd place in the Metro.

I just think they overthink things and try to play too cute at home...not playing that smart simple road game which helped them get wins recently...gotta change the mindset for Sunday’s game..

Let me change my original comment, I'm not cheap, I'm poor because I spend all of my money on my Jack Johnson shrine

 

[HuskerTornado]

lol Sully is snappy in the post game presser.

 

[vodeni]

lol Sully is snappy in the post game presser.

he is always snappy when losing, btw Bomb is the only guy that dares to ask tough questions

 

[PensandCaps]

Jack johnson-Schultz is horrible. Id put Maatta with Schultz but i cant say its really Johnson who is at fault, Schultz has stunk of late.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Olli came back and we lost.


I mean....

 

[LOGiK]

Haven't seen a PGT this dead in a looooooong while.

This game stunk.
