GDT: Game 17 - Arizona Coyotes @ Pittsburgh Penguins (7pm Est/4pm Pac)

[66-30-33]

Just tuning in..hows the game been?

 

[Ogrezilla]

Without at least 3 lines that are a threat to score, you're essentially just another hockey team.

especially when your line centered by Sidney Crosby is just another line.

^
They're finally getting some extended zone time tonight, but then you realize who they're playing...

 

[PensandCaps]

I'm not really seeing Sid as snake bit. He's just playing bad. Can't even remember the last time it looked like he was threat to score a goal.

Guentzel is getting chances but can't bury them.

How is Crosby playing bad tonite? He's been great..

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

We know Crosby's gonna sort his shit out though. A good 3C will let us roll at least 3 lines that can score.

 

[Pancakes]

bad by his standards anyways. Tonight he has 0 shots.

 

[PensandCaps]

bad by his standards anyways. Tonight he has 0 shots.

So? He's set up Sheary for grade A chances.

That was an even period of hockey...against the Coyotes. That's an issue.

I think the issue is that we no longer have an overall strength with the lineup, speed. We have lost our identity, could we develop a new one? Maybe. But that's going to take time and adjustments with the roster. Now, we are a mish mash of talent, no cohesion.

 

[ColePens]

I would also point out that Sid played 14+ minutes while Geno played nearly 2 minutes less and Phil nearly 3 minutes less. With the way those guys are playing, that makes zero sense....

Yeah G's line looks the best. Really flying.

 

[Shaffer]

+ to Malkin,Kessel, Schultz, Rust, Murray, and Letang(that period)

- to Sid(sigh), Hornqvist, Dumoulin, Kuhn

Everyone else is average.

Have we? L4 is the only line that doesn't have 2 pretty damn fast guys on it. We have what, 1 less speedy guy in vs last year?

Haula... please.

Dumo? Why...?

 

[WayneSid9987]

Difference i'm seeing is the will/compete of some of the big guns + a horrible Letang/injuries on the back end. Get Sid and Jake goin', Letang back up to speed. Geno and Phil maintain their play/Schultz+Hunwick back in the mix and you'll see a more consistent hockey team.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Ho boy.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Of course...

 

[ColePens]

Ewwww Cher-y forgot to cover his point.

 

[Andy99]

Haula... please.

Honestly, I think he'd make a huge difference but would be equally happy with Karlsson or Lindberg

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

lmao

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Sigh...

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Weird. Almost looks like he moved his glove out of the way

 

[ColePens]

In a game where Arizona gets pretty much nothing we are in a 2-1 game and they deserve some PPs.

 

[canadianguy77]

What is Sheary doing?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

If only they'd scored more than 2 goals.
