GDT: Game 12 [ Penguins vs Maple Leafs ] November 3 7pm EST

[Turin]

Hunwick 2.0

Hunwick before his concussion was way better tbh. Still not saying much, and it’s not like JJ is playing with an NHL player.. but yea.

 

[Tom Hanks]

I know Simon is on a (5?) game point streak, but dude sucks.

He’s 4th in points out of our forwards. 8points in 11 games. We’d love for our other forwards to suck.

 

[HornyHags]

JJ is poorest hockey player i have ever seen

To this day i don't get why JR picked him up. The last two years his signings have been mostly bad. It's like he's losing it.

I like Riikola, Cullen, Oleksiak... I really can't think of anyone else.

Speaking of, how long is it going to take for them to put Riikola in ahead of Johnson and Ruwedel? What am I missing?

 

[KIRK]

He usually makes adjustments after intermission, or at least used to. We’ll see.. though it was brain dead to allow that matchup to happen anyway.

Which one?

You have a 'shutdown line' allegedly and don't put it on Tavares? Or Geno, who owns Tavares?

OR, you let the Leafs one checking line go against Geno every shift?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

You know what would be interesting? Maybe Sully could try leveraging home ice when it comes to matching lines.

Why bother when he can keep doing what's clearly working wonderfully?

I'm calling it, the team's gonna come out with a lot more energy this period. The leafs are good so we might not win, but I'll be surprised if we look flat coming out for period 2.

I'll see your prediction and raise it to predict that the Pens come out even worse in the second, and the Leafs extend the 1-goal lead into a 3-goal or more lead.

Footage of the Pens room right now

 

[Ogrezilla]

This would make @ColePens proud.

this place is so down, someone needs to bring some light. Just reading things here you'd think we were down 3 or 4.

 

[KIRK]

I'm trying my best not to get on Johnson's case, but it's getting difficult. The guy is bleeding goals against, but does absolutely nothing offensively to at least offset it.

He's got the defensive game of Marc Andre Bergeron, but with the offensive game of Rob Scuderi. It's annoying as hell to watch.

I'd like to call you out for exaggerating.

In good conscience, I can't.

He’s here because of Crosby, no matter how many times one try’s to defer from that, he’s the reason JJ is on this team.

 

[Turin]

Both. Mostly throwing Sid on an island against 80% of the entire Leafs offense.

If the defense had their druthers, we would be.

We would be if it weren't for Murray.

 

[vodeni]

sheahan and erust in 4 minutes two shot attempts for `12 against, that is our third line, man we are screwed with Sheahan in any position, the guy is just not good

 

[Ogrezilla]

I'll see your prediction and raise it to predict that the Pens come out even worse in the second, and the Leafs extend the 1-goal lead into a 3-goal or more lead.

I've seen them rally after Murray periods like that quite a few times before. He made some huge saves to keep this a game and I'll be surprised if the team doesn't know it.

We would be if it weren't for Murray.

good thing we have a goalie on the team.

When isn't it like that? It's like how the ancient Greeks would lament their lives so the gods wouldn't get angry and curse them

 

[KIRK]

That's our shutdown line that isn't even being used against their top scoring line getting smoked like that.

I know, and I hate it every time

Rutheford had amazing run, but it's time to let him go. Hopefully they don't just keep him because they think that they owe him

I mean, what has Rust actually done this season? I find it hard to blame Sheahan when Rust's been an absolute ghost all season long. He's got Tyler Kennedy's tunnel vision, but without getting shots on net like Kennedy did.

This place is so negative, watch something happy:

 

[vodeni]

Geno was still winning battles, the problem is Kessel when that line is tightly checked he can't do a lick in these situations

 

[Shrimper]

I missed the first period, what did I miss?

 

[Burn]

The attack is so direct goalies only have to play half the net. Get back door... Make some east west plays. Make the goalie move around.

thats also a valid point, I am not arguing you there
