Post-Game Talk: Caps 3, Pens 1 - NOW Geno is Playoff Ready

[KIRK]

1. Please keep HGH together. In a lot of ways, the Pens are going to live or die in the playoffs with HGH.

2. Give Grubhub props. He was the difference tonight. And, Murray still is struggling. The softie, the rebound control, tracking the puck. It's just not good.

3. For as well as Sid is playing INDIVIDUALLY, Jake-Sid-Rust isn't a good line. Rust is oil and water with Sid. And, is it okay to say Jake's play leaves A LOT to be desired.

4. Dumo-Letang is an adventure. Maatta-Schultz leaves a lot to be desired. Calling Hunwick-Oleksiak a dumpster fire is libeling a dumpster fire.

5. Hurt, struggling, whatever the reason . . . Phil is BRUTAL. Pray he flips the switch.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flyers finish at Isles then home to Canes and Rangers.

Blue Jackets are home to Wings, then end at Preds.

Gonna say it now: Winner of the Pens-Jackets game gets the 2/3 matchup with the Flyers. Loser gets the Caps.

Another year, another meaningful banner for the Craps.

Geno could not possibly have spoken English in all of that banter. I wonder if anyone knew what the heck he was saying.

 

[Jacob]

Grubauer was good. That’s about it.

 

[High Flying Birds]

Time for the Caps to raise another Division banner.

 

[flaneur]

I am curious what was said between Kuznetsov and Malkin. It's been awhile since I've seen Malkin so vocally animated.

 

[Turin]

To me that game boils down to mostly goaltending. Murray wasn’t bad but Grubauer was better. Really not concerned about the division, Pens have never won the division and the Cup in the same year.

 

[PensandCaps]

Loved what I saw fron that game. Only confirms that the Pens are still in their heads.


Angry Malkin for the playoffs will be a beautiful sight. ...


I'm thinking he gets a game for throwing the stick into the caps bench...but I found that hilarious..Geno is a GREAT leader.

kuz pissed him off for some reason

 

[ColePens]

Mad props to Grubs - thought he was tremendous. Such a difference from what we've seen out of Holtby.

Pens just need to beat Columbus and we can pretty much wrap up that 2nd spot.

I will throw out a thread warning: The attempted trolling every loss and acting like it's the end of the world is not going to fly here. If you cannot control your emotion - you will be out of here.

4th game in 6 days, b2b...cards were stacked and we didn't play THAT bad. Some chances we should've buried. One of those nights

I wanna lose vs CBJ then. Give me the caps round one. I know it's tradition to beat them in round two...but let's change things up.

 

[Shady Machine]

KIRK haven’t you been saying that HGH ran its course and time to put Rust there?

I think you mix and match with those 2 depending on who is going.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Rough game but it doesn't matter. Didn't lose anyone to injury, that's the biggest takeaway. Hopefully this wakes the beast inside of Geno too. Gonna need Geno playing that galloping, predatory style of offense/defense he's capable of.

 

[MrBoxOffice]

i actually didn't think we were that bad....Wilson's goal is random enough to discount it...we just didn't capitalize on the Pp and thus didn't deserve the W. sort of expected the game to become a bit degenerate. glad no one got injured.

 

[Turin]

I actually thought they played well all things considered. Kessel bummin around, Brassard out, back-to-back and you know Washington was busting their balls to prove themselves to daddy like usual.

 

[Brandinho]

Will never be able to take this prat seriously:

Hope Malkin rearranges his face if we meet the Caps in the playoffs. Couldn't make it look any worse.

 

[GregR]

Not that it's breaking news or anything, but the Pens are going as far as the power play can take them. Too many 0-fers like tonight, and it won't be a long run.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Well, hopefully leads to line changes but they need more than just HGH and Phil on the 3rd.
PK was ok tonight, atleast.

I dont know what was said, but Kuzy would get demolished by Geno.
