Post-Game Talk: Sharks 2, Penguins 1 - A Blown Opportunity

[KIRK]

Lots of things to vent about, but all I've got, for now, is this: Letang isn't a 7M defenseman. He may not even be half of that. Defense is putrid, but worst of all was that last minute or so. He couldn't make a simple pass, then flopped on the ice. His STUPIDITY cost the Pens 1/3 of the last 80 seconds of the game. He can **** off already. This team is more likely to be played out of a round by Letang than helped to another cup by him right now.

Oh, and ***** Sully for continuing to send that ass clown out with the top PP. We need our PP to score, and Letang KILLS it. On the first one, he was the focal point, which is a waste. On the second one, he killed sustained pressure with a lazy who knows what to lose the puck.

Just so pissed at his horse**** already. Dude is killing this team . . . and Sully is too by his use of Letang.

[Coach Travis]

sighhhhh

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Letang with that awareness we're all jealous of.

 

[Andy99]

When are Pageau and Kane arriving?

 

[66-30-33]

Hopefully JR does not go for rentals. Thought Pens were turning the corner and I got duped again. I wont be fooled anymore.

 

[Pancakes]

That call on Oleksiak was soft as butter and it cost us a point and maybe more.

 

[Ryder71]

San Jose was a step ahead of us the entire game!

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Letang is awful.

This road trip was brutal.

 

[canadianguy77]

If there's a deal for a younger, solid top-4 dman, for Letang...take it.

 

[BobCole]

Can't ask for anything more from DeSmith tonight

 

[Dinfire]

Penguins just can’t get it together. Every game it’s something different that contributes to the loss. The sign of a bad team.

 

[Pancakes]

Hopefully JR does not go for rentals. Thought Pens were turning the corner and I got duped again. I wont be fooled anymore.

I thought we looked fine on this trip. Three tough buildings. Should have won at least two of these games.

 

[Nakawick]

That's what it looks like when our PP is scoreless and we get little to nothing from the big 3.

 

[SirBrad]

Just knew they'd be lucky to get 3 points in the standings on this trip. Needed a way to get at least 1 more.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Our best game was the loss then Sully ****ed with the lines. Can we set Letang, Sheahan and Hunwick with this

 

[Ryder71]

They took away our time and space pretty handily. We were pressured all over the ice. They out executed us in every fashion. Other than that we were tremendous.

 

[Dey so soff*]

The issues are GLARING JR. Work some magic.

 

[Shaffer]

When are Pageau and Kane arriving?

Soon I hope

 

[dig1]

2 things. we miss Bonino more than we all here care to admit.

2) it's irrational to sit down Cole when 58 and 32's minutes should be reduced.

 

[Dey so soff*]

My only plus is DeSmith. He deserved better.

 

[Pancakes]

Just knew they'd be lucky to get 3 points in the standings on this trip. Needed a way to get at least 1 more.

We would have had that extra point but for that soft call on Jamie O. Unfortunate.

And if it gets to OT I like our chances of beating the Sharks there too. ah well

If there's a deal for a younger, solid top-4 dman, for Letang...take it.

He is terrible and a guy with his history is more likely to completely fall off the cliff rather than turn things around for the better.

 

[SomeOldDude]

I'm so f***ing sick of Letang. I don't care what he has done in the past and what is "role" is supposed to be. Sit his ass now and let some rooks have a chance. He constantly turns the puck over, passes to NO ONE, guards the wrong man, pinches at the most incorrect times, etc.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

When does Sully realize that with this material Schultz is the #1 RHD. Im sick of bitching about Letang, but seriously, he is just so f***ing awful. The game did not fall just because of him, but the putrid play constantly does make it a whole lot more difficult.

 

[Shady Machine]

I really don't like this defense. They were particularly bad on this trip, but something needs to change. Hunwick has to go or sit, Sully hates Cole so I guess we wait for Ruh to come back.

Big Rig is cool, but needs a better partner. Maatta needs to get his head out of his ass, ditto Letang. Dumo and Schultz are just there at this point. It's just a weird mix.
