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

[Bingo71]

The effort live is as awful as ive ever seen

There’s actual effort out there? Where?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Dermott just planted hist feet in the lane two feet behind the red line there, daring us to dump it in, and we wouldn't do it. He wasn't even skating backwards he was so confident we wouldn't play chip and chase. Does matter how much talent we have, we will be easy to defend as long as we are predictable.

It is the same shit that has been happening last season.

You have to evolve and this team just has not since their cup win. Literally every team adjusted except us.

lazy Kessel - bad Geno

The Leafs are doubling and tripling Geno and daring Phil or someone else to make a play. He isn't.

what happened with letang pushiung the play,

 

[TheGuiminator]

The analyst on CBC hasn't watched the Pens since Sully took over. He is wondering at what point in the period will he play Sid and Geno together.

The answer is only if they pull the goalie.

Only Therrien had the balls to put both together on the same line

 

[treeni12]

Crosby and Kessel worst games of their career no effort at all. insane

 

[canadianguy77]

I bet Cullen wishes he retired.

I know I do. Guy can't keep up anymore. The puck follows Sprong on that line.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

"When he is lazy, I cannot play my game" - Geno on Phil

These two will star in a remake of the Odd Couple one day.

 

[Darren McCord]

The Leafs are doubling and tripling Geno and daring Phil or someone else to make a play. He isn't.

And they don’t have the balls to demote Kessel

 

[dustybreaks]

You're so ****ing wrong.

Yeah not finding the soft spots, mirroring the puck carrier and standing in the middle of ice is what you want to do on the PP.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

There’s actual effort out there? Where?

Iceburg on the tambourine.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Only Therrien had the balls to put both together on the same line

Bylsma did it often. At the end of periods and when we were trailing in the 3rd.

 

[KIRK]

It is the same **** that has been happening last season.

It's not adjusting per se. It's adapting.

The rest of the league got faster. So, the recipe of 2-3 years ago doesn't quite work. Sully hasn't adjusted to that.

It's like his refusal to match lines at home. He says 'we're going to do what we do and that's it'. It's eerily similar to Bylsma.

 

[Shrimper]

Well, nothing from the big guys today.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

OMG Freddy was down and out?!?! Why pass it back to the point? Roof that shit.

 

[Turin]

Only Therrien had the balls to put both together on the same line

Bylsma did it at end of periods.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah not finding the soft spots, mirroring the puck carrier and standing in the middle of ice middle of the ice is what you want to do on the PP.

He was rushing up and told to get off. You're f***ing wrong bud.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

OMG Freddy was down and out?!?! Why pass it back to the point? Roof that ****.

Because gotta be cute.

 

[Turin]

If Malkin is visibly angry with Phil maybe take him off the line?

 

[HornyHags]

You know what you can get for JMFJ?

EDIT: Sid and Phil killing another PP. Goodie . . .

Would be great to find a way to dump Johnson... what team in their right mind would go for it? We'd probably have to give up something much better to make it work

 

[vodeni]

Crosby and Kessel worst games of their career no effort at all. insane

not sure about career, but concern is with Sid's effort at PPG, just zero this year, maybe something personally while he is here

 

[Nadal On Clay]

RIP Geno’s pointstreak.

 

[KIRK]

LOL at CBC basically saying Phil is playing like ass and it's hurting Geno.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

It's not adjusting per se. It's adapting.

It's like his refusal to match lines at home. He says 'we're going to do what we do and that's it'. It's eerily similar to Bylsma.

I recall someone saying that in the off season and getting shit on for it.


Oh right. That was me.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Nah. Wait until Xmas, then he'll try. He has been doing that shit for years.
