GDT: Flightless Birds v Big Cats @ 19:00EST

[Andy99]

I don’t see how anyone can watch this game and think the Pens are one top six forward away (subtracting Kap too) from getting to the SCF…Jarry’s #s have been declining, the team plays stupid and atrocious at home, we’re not nearly hard enough defending our crease and getting into the opposing team’s crease…same shit, same story

 

[DesertedPenguin]

I think the Kappy experiment needs to end, would like to see Carter with Malkin.

Carter has been with Malkin previously and he is with Malkin in the third period right now. It hasn't been anything special.

 

[Miro4Norris]

This team needs to upgrade on Kapanen, Simon and ERod. They won't contend if they don't.

We must save all the picks we have so we can win the cup after Sid's gone. -Ron Hextall

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I've not had it but my friend did in college. And one of his blackout nights while drinking that coincided with a Long John Silver's burning down. My friend was worried he did it.

MD20/20 is a special kind of wretched.

 

[metalan2]

Bump up Simon to L1.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Maybe now we can try to spend more than 5 seconds in the offensive zone??

 

[Darren McCord]

This is starting to be on Hextall now. Take simon away and move Kap at this point

Yup, well until Zucker comes back or a trade is made. Get the old man on the phone and figure it out for Boeser..

 

[SEALBound]

Letang has the worst shot judgement on this team and perhaps the league

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Carter has been with Malkin previously and he is with Malkin in the third period right now. It hasn't been anything special.

I mean, they'll need more than a few shifts to get a sense of how they'll do. I'd like to see them keep those two together for a few games. Kapanen has had more than enough time.

because one game doesn’t tell the full story, just as much as the Tampa game didn’t mean the Pens were the best team of all time.

lol

we are getting owned on all levels in the neutral zone. Simon and Kapanen ain’t at fault.

Jake Guentzel just gave away the game on a weak ass board play.

 

[canadianguy77]

Hard to believe Bryan Marchment found someone to mate with.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Much needed PP goal here.

Geno howitzer past Bob's ear.

Can't even gain the zone..........pathetic

 

[Tender Rip]

Cant believe we are about to lose with the reading champion in the stands

Seems wrong.
How about a marvelous comeback instead? Now's the time.

*furiously pumping tires*

No your right its not solely on them. But if you cant play four lines you cant compete. Sullivan is literally playing 3 lines this period.

 

[vodeni]

its over

agree…take this one game away and the game against Tampa and my point still remains…we’re nowhere near to being good enough to beat four teams enroute to the Cup

 

[Gurglesons]

Sullivan can’t play 4 lines because he creates shit lines.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

But they have been together for stretches already.

Carter and Malkin have played 62:4o of ice time together this year at 5-on-5. That's several games worth. They scored 2 goals and gave up 5.

 

[metalan2]

The issue is..Carter just isn't good. He's another average forward that doesn't give much. We have almost an entire bottom nine filled with these players.

 

[Darren McCord]

Sullivan can’t play 4 lines because he creates shit lines.

hes got some shit players too

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Tampa was not very sharp in that game to be fair, and FLA has been on it from the start. Only L1 was ready to match them, everyone else was asleep until he second period. Their speed is giving us a lot of trouble, more so because we just aren't sharp tonight. We're better than we're showing but we are still going to struggle if L2 and L3 can't figure it out. Especially L2 (Kapanen).

I think you either see or you don't. What's confusing is that the FO doesn't see it.
