GDT: #13 | Penguins vs Senators | Nov 13th 7 PM | It's my party, I'll cry if I want to

[Randy Butternubs]

At least I'm not watching WBS? 4-0 loss and they're boring.

Oh wait

 

[Bnat66]

No one takes Kevin Malone seriously

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Letang's on the bench with a thousand yard stare thinking "I'm asking for $9.5 million to stick around."

 

[Extra Texture]

You could see a loss coming LIGHT YEARS away after that first period. It wasnt just the blown opportunities and posts, it was the who we were facing in the opposing goal.

That said, I didnt expect to see us get steamrolled.

 

[dogthateats]

Hopefully we pick up Sheahan off waivers. I think he is the answer

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Letang was playing wing in the defensive zone. That's not what you want.

Our team has been pretty much the worst structure I've seen in a while, we give away so many odd man breaks... and that collapsing allowing the other team to skate around 8-10 feet from Goal.

 

[Gurglesons]

Blueger has been atrocious this year.

 

[wgknestrick]

I think CDS is by far the worst NHL goalie this year.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Shitting away 5 on 3's ruin us, nearly every single time we do it

 

[metalan2]

Lol how is it 3-0. Can't watch game. Is desmitj just awful?

 

[madinsomniac]

Yeah. Before Sid missed nearly two full months of the season and our team was ravaged by COVID.

A healthy roster easily makes the playoffs. You realize we are missing three of our starting D from the beginning of the season right?

They aren’t really far out of a playoff spot.. theoretically if they get healthy they easily could make it… you know if they fix the pp and get a better goalie to split time with jarry…

 

[Dinfire]

The Penguins are bad. Hextall should be fired, but he won’t be.

 

[KIRK]

It’s hilarious that people think this team is making the playoffs.

Time to sell.

Don't give away, but anyone with term after this year save Sid is fair game.

As to Geno, Letang, and Rust. Team has a number for each. If they take it, fine. If not, then you move every one of them . . . and retain 50% to bump the return.

Yes, I know, it's a different animal with Geno and the full NTC. In his case, you politely ask and if he's even slightly willing to think about it with a team or two, let there be some back channel stuff like with the Pens and Carter last season.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Blueger has been atrocious this year.

New contract syndrome?

 

[Pancakes]

Blueger has been atrocious this year.

Big disappointment. I loved his game last year. Keeping him over McCann certainly looks bad now. It did not look bad then.

 

[vodeni]

Blueger has been atrocious this year.

but you would not know that by the way they keep the same deployment, same roles, same everything

 

[KIRK]

Letang's on the bench with a thousand yard stare thinking "I'm asking for $9.5 million to stick around."

And in that case, I'm offering Letang at 50% to any team on his 'willing to go there' list.

 

[Gurglesons]

The best part is Hextall will actually do this.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

The only thing that can save us right now is an @ObsessedCreative playoffs reverse jinx thread.

 

[canadianguy77]

Blueger has been atrocious this year.

Case of a guy satisfied with a 7 figures in the bank?

 

[madinsomniac]

The Penguins are bad. Hextall should be fired, but he won’t be.

Um…. Im pretty sure that ypu don’t fire a gm for injuries and illness ravaging your roster

 

[vodeni]

They aren’t really far out of a playoff spot.. theoretically if they get healthy they easily could make it… you know if they fix the pp and get a better goalie to split time with jarry…

they are healthy enough to dominate Otawa Senators

 

[Gurglesons]

Big disappointment. I loved his game last year. Keeping him over McCann certainly looks bad now. It did not look bad then.

Not really differences between McCann and Rodrigues in a top six role so far has been minimal.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Man , Desmith don’t got it anymore.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

The Penguins are bad. Hextall should be fired, but he won’t be.

I mean, what's really Hextall's fault here?
