Post-Game Talk: Coyotes 4, Penguins 3 (OT) - Deserves Got Everything to Do With It

[PensArmy]

After tonight stinker it's becoming obvious that JR might have to add a pick and possibly retain salary on a MAF deal

Play MAF vs Winnipeg and pray he has a great game, Winnipeg has issues with there goalies and MAF could become an option

 

[lastcupever75]

Does flukey have any idea of where the net is when he comes
Out like that?

Serves me Right for placing a bet before knowing who was in net.
Get rid of that idiot already

 

[PensandCaps]

Crosby is fine. Hes hit like 5 posts last two games. Just unlucky and uh kunitz

 

[Tender Rip]

I don't think the majority of the team played badly.

We had important individuals playing badly for the majority of the game. Sid in particular, but except the 3-3 goal also Kessel and Letang, and that trio ****ed the PP which was crucial.

Fleury had several good things going, but when you're culpable on one goal (the third), you cannot give up an disgusting OT 4th and escape tremendous heat.

We can add Bones and Kunitz as dogs for the majority but that is same old same old, which means that Sullivan takes some heat also.

I think Smith made several many remarkable saves and the kids plus Cullen, Horny, Fehr were very good. Don't think D was bad in this one, when measured against our norm, except for Letang who was playing like an idiot virtually throughout.

Ultimately, even if we were playing understrength and with our backup, that was a point we gave away more so than one we won. And our three longest serving players on the ice tonight were the main dogs.

Where is that Therrien '' Don't care / playing soff '' video... That applies to Sid for a couple of games now.

They soff like I've never see a bunch of goals soff like dis.

 

[PensArmy]

How did guentzel look tonight?? Is he going to be a top6 forward

 

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

How did guentzel look tonight??

Unsustainable.


(He looked good. He made quite a few good plays but his linemates dragged him down.)

 

[CertifiedLurker]

You're right. Fleury is the reason the PP can't score and Sid can't win a ****ing FO. Awesome analysis chief.

LOL, you don't automatically lose because you can't score on a PP, but you absolutely lose because your goalie lets in a softy.

Actually he was really good. Sucks that Sid decided to take the night off.

 

[TheSniper26]

I am not going to comment on this. Sid is now in about 15 games slump, If Gen were playing like this he would be crucified

However, if I had any doubts that Jake is not a real deal, they are gone tonight. The guy is awesome and should be playing exclusively with geno or sid. And don't send Archie back, he is better than Kuhn. (and many others, but I digress)

Have you read this board lately? Probably fair to say nobody here is giving Sid much of a pass for his recent play. If anything it's been a bit hyperbolic about just how bad he's been.

If you're talking about the media, I agree. The Pittsburgh media turns on Geno pretty quick.

 

[PensArmy]

Atlest we got 1 point, it could be worse we could be the flyers

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I gather that Fleury really Fleury'd in OT?

 

[PensArmy]

After tonight's ot goal they need to lock Charles Oakley in a room with maf

 

[TheSniper26]

I gather that Fleury really Fleury'd in OT?

He crapped his pants on an un-screened short side wrister from pretty far out with like 10 seconds left in OT. So... yeah.

 

[lastcupever75]

For the record sid was 17-36 (46%) on face offs. Not great but almost 50%
Rest of the team was a dominant 21-29.

I guess we need to be near 80% on face offs against one of the worst teams in the league
When fluery is in net

How did guentzel look tonight?? Is he going to be a top6 forward

He's been one of team's better forwards since being inserted into the lineup earlier in the season.

It was certainly not a fantastic goal to give up.

media, of course, majority of us here even when they slump know that there are many reasons for that, linemates nothwithstanding

Of course. Raise that value and go out on a positive note, GAF.


The most damning thing is that I'm in no way surprised.

 

[wgknestrick]

- I don't even care that they lost because MAF did a MAF... I care that MAF did a MAF with scouts watching.

Brutal.

- Archibald showing a little of why I think he could be a Rust/Hagelin replacement if one is lost in the expansion draft.

- Guenztel with big minutes doing the kind of magic I hoped for.

Do scouts not have ability to watch youtube? MAF is well documented there.

 

[Human]

I'm going to pretend I haven't watched that one...

That OT goal was very similar to Moen's goal from game 7 of the 2010 Habs series. You know the one everbody blamed Gonchar for at the time...

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It took me a second to realize why people were suddenly calling Fleury GAF, then it hit me. Bravo.

 

[wgknestrick]

The rest of that sign is actually hidden below the boards. It says "TRADED!" at the bottom. You just can't see it.
