people say this but good teams lock it down when they get a two goal lead and it’s a totally different hockey game when tied or close

Pitt scored three and melted the game. Good defensive teams will do that and make you look bad in the process. That’s what happened. Georgiev thru the game away

what he let up like 4 or 5 laughable goals in two games? It’s unacceptable

It's not all on him. Miller fell, but had he not, he still would have been beaten. He was already a step behind when he fell. Then Crosby splits Fox and Lindgren. First goal on Georgiev was on him, though.

 

[NYRFAN218]

They certainly played well enough to win through 2 but that's an embarrassment of a 3rd period down 2 goals and they deserved to lose on that alone.

 

[NYR]

Lol ok guy. They were playing very well before he did.

They didn't play well on defense, Guy

 

[NYSPORTS]

Putting is like breakaways - this is how i want to end my weekend

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Howden and Lemieux are giving this team nothing from the bottom 6

Last year Lemieux was such a pest always getting shit started. He barley does that now its annoying

 

[Shesterkybomb]

That’s what happens when your goalie allows at least 2 horrible goals. We looked great before that. Lots of confidence.

Just because you lose the lead doesn't mean you stop trying. Georgiev was weak, the mental make up of the team after that was even weaker. They had lots of time to get a goal or two and didn't

 

[Kovalev27]

It's not all on him. Miller fell, but had he not, he still would have been beaten. He was already a step behind when he fell. Then Crosby splits Fox and Lindgren. First goal on Georgiev was on him, though.

he has 3 chances to make a save. All 3 go in. What else is there to say? Doesn’t matter what else happens. None were tap ins. He had 3 clean looks and got beat 3 straight. It’s unacceptable

 

[SnowblindNYR]

My biggest gripe with Georgiev is he is a mental midget. Gives up a bad goal and he melts down. He doesnt have the resilience to be a back up. He was shaky last game as well.

Kinkaid's net until he shits the bed or Igor comes back. Either way the D needs to wake up and start guarding the stretch pass.

I was going to call him a mental midget but I'm not sure if that word is acceptable anymore. I remember Hank used to have these types of games early on in his career where the roof caved in. It was usually against the Habs for some reason. But before that he'd go 10 games allowing 15 goals. Georgiev having an off night is one thing, he's been shit all year. He had that shutout against the Islanders where he wasn't tested and otherwise has been shit.

 

[Edge]

They should both be exposed to Seattle.

Most likely they will be.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Howden is not an NHL player. They should just waive him. He won't get claimed anyway.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

he has 3 chances to make a save. All 3 go in. What else is there to say? Doesn’t matter what else happens. None were tap ins. He had 3 clean looks and got beat 3 straight. It’s unacceptable

If Kincaid didn't come in and play his heart out after not playing an NHL game in God knows how long I'd get the excuses for Georgiev. 3 goals in 61 seconds, two of which were questionable is not something we should sweep under the rug.

 

[Rempe73]

Just because you lose the lead doesn't mean you stop trying. Georgiev was weak, the mental make up of the team after that was even weaker. They had lots of time to get a goal or two and didn't

But good teams rarely lose when they are up by 2+ goals heading into the third. It happens all the time. They play lockdown defense. Good coaching by the Penguins.

 

[Tob]

If we finish under ,500 which I believe we will, this management better not bring this coach back next season.

 

[LokiDog]

Last year Lemieux was such a pest always getting shit started. He barley does that now its annoying

I don’t want to be that guy, but it’s something that distinctly seems to have been coached out of him.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

We are all so depressed no one wants to make the postgame thread.

 

[will1066]

he has 3 chances to make a save. All 3 go in. What else is there to say? Doesn’t matter what else happens. None were tap ins. He had 3 clean looks and got beat 3 straight. It’s unacceptable

Yeah, he needed to steal one of those. But he didn't.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Is there an official reason for Chytil moving to the wing, or is it just Quinn being Quinn?

 

[Avery16]

Predictably, Valley has a satisfying breakdown of Georgiev and Kincaid tonight.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We need some young grit for the bottom 6, i know Berard isn't ready but his style is what we need, two of them to replace PDG and Rooney.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Can't believe how bad the last 45 min was after how good the first 15 min was.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I don’t want to be that guy, but it’s something that distinctly seems to have been coached out of him.

That certainly sounds plausible but at the same time having a pest like that seems like something dq would want on his team. Idk just such a weird situation

 

[Kovalev27]

very well done.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Predictably, Valley has a satisfying breakdown of Georgiev and Kincaid tonight.

What did Valley say? I shut the game off.

 

[will1066]

Pens are good on board battles. I bet our posession numbers suck tonight. We won the puck back after the dump in very few times tonight. Pens also beat our two deep forecheckers repeatedly for easy outs.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Bill Pidto’s MSG 150 will include the Pens 3 goals all in real time
