2016-17 Around the NHL Thread 53: 2017 Stanley Cup Champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins

[Machinehead]

Another ****ing softie.

Rinne is atrocious.

 

[mike14]

Rinne wants that goal back.

Props to him for not flopping around after getting slid into like most other goalies do

 

[Boris Zubov]

Rinne is a hot mess. Almost gave Crosby another one.

 

[Machinehead]

Rinne needs a xanax

He's flying across the crease

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Rinne is just terrible

 

[mike14]

Preds are so unorganised right now. They need to keep to 1-0 in the next few minutes or it's game over

Never mind

 

[bl02]

Nashville hot garbage right now

 

[Machinehead]

Penguins dominating for the first time in the series.

Of course when the Penguins have the upper hand, they get leads.

 

[Boris Zubov]

WTF

 

[member 116805]

Yeah this ain't good enough Nashville

 

[Boruto]

something something lose on home ice. Amazing how these teams feed off of the home crowd. We need to use better lighting and noise amplification for our building too.

 

[bl02]

if these two teams trade chance for chance it won't be close. pitt talent up front is infinitely more opportunistic and skilled than Nashvilles

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Matt Murray showing Rinne that is is indeed possible to make tough saves

 

[Boris Zubov]

Nashville woke up half a period too late.

We need to not suck and then the crowd would care

 

[Boruto]

Hagelin with the G5 OT series winning goal move.

And right now it's an all-star goalie against an AHL goalie as well.

It's at the point where Nashville needs to dominate to win.

And they have dominated and still lost two. You have to start wondering if they can win this series.

 

[Holocene]

Are the Pens just really good at home or are the Preds really bad on the road?

i would probably take murray over rinne as well but you can not discredit the talent differential up front. one team needs 20 chances to snipe a goal the other 6 or 7. its not always just the goalie.

The Pens are just really Rinne at home.

I'm not discounting the talent differential up front, but put an average goalie in net for Nashville and they would have lifted the Cup on Monday.

maybe the fact the pens have been in this situation numerous times and succeeded counts some as well.

Both of the Preds losses in this series are solely because of Rinne.

So is the 2-0 score of this game.

Rinne has been garbage but their is a large discrepancy in skill up front. one team needs to work much harder than the other. lack of elite skill up front will do that

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

how is that icing lmao
