GDT: ECQF Game 4 - New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST, MSG, ESPN - Series (PIT 2-1)

[Jaromir Jagr]

What gets me is that the entire season people said "let's make the playoffs so we can get some experience now instead of later." And then when the team loses it mentally, everyone is f***ing flabbergasted.

What the f*** did you guys think "experience" meant? This is why it's important.

I guess. I think the biggest factor here is the guys losing it mentally are not the ones who needed the experience. The ones who needed the experience actually look the best (Miller, Laf, KK, Chytil).

 

[Jauffre]

Expedite Gallant and take advantage of Lou's dementia.

I'd like to play a style that wins in the playoffs. Maybe Trotz can make use of the actual talent that the Isles possessed only in tiny quantities.

 

[Kords]

WIN ONE NET BATTLE. JUST ONE!!!

 

[RickChartraw]

got your best player pulled 2 games in a row. entire team should be embarrassed.

 

[CasusBelli]

Can't believe I looked forward all day to watching this game

Ditto

 

[Machinehead]

Lol now it's "next year." Coulda shoulda.

Next year???

Bud, it's like 2027.

You guys skipped the whole process because we got hot after a trade deadline.

He's got the yips. He ain't the best player right now.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

I don't think he will be

Dolan: "hold my crackpipe"

 

[DuneGoon84]

Venting Here actually has helped me come to Realization that we were frauds so hurts less

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Has this been the softest series and the series with the least emotion in the playoffs so far?

I was told playing Ryan Reaves in the playoffs was important. What happened to him after the first period of game 1?

 

[17futurecap]

Braun is a disaster, he’s Nemeth without the penalties.

You're right. This is for the kids, they're the future, not this pretender paper tiger core.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I have never seen so many odd-man rushes and breakaways against a playoff team in my life. Lmao.

 

[LokiDog]

Copp is clearly injured. He may be slower than Nemeth.

No Goodrow, no Lindgren, no Motte, no Blais and a broken Copp eradicates almost everyone who plays a “playoff style” game on our roster.

Kid line has been good. Vatrano depending on cost should be brought back and I’d like Copp over Strome too as he was great before getting hurt.

Fox, Zib, Bread, Kreider have been totally average. Really frustrating. Just don’t want to do the things it takes to win. The over passing, refusing to shoot, looking for everything to be pretty and wrapped in a bow. No one knows how to play greasy hockey.

 

[bl02]

Its like Pitt is down 6-2 and trying to come back

 

[savebyrichter94]

Learn from it and move on, tough to watch but this is what the process looks like sometimes unfortunately

 

[Kords]

Always looking for the pass. Down 4 goals and still looking for the pass. Pathetic.

 

[zukeisgone]

Georgie is Igor

 

[Cmox]

Said what?

Those aren't boos

Who shesty? He's no Domingue.

 

[I Eat Crow]

This is mirroring 2006 so much it's scary. Outclassed by a more experienced team. Great young goalie bursting onto the scene looking really pedestrian, probably will be pulled in favor of the backup in the last game too like Weekes went in for Lundqvist in Game 4 against Jersey too.

 

[Machinehead]

It's a team game. The whole team lost it when Crosby tied the game.

When you look at the ark of a contending window, the first trip to the playoffs is usually ugly.

 

[TriFF51]

Can't wait for a real team to expose Domingue.

Next year???

I wasn't the one who said it
