GDT: Game 23 | Pens @ Jets | 11.27 8PM EST | Take Off

[ColePens]

DeSmith is fighting the puck badly tonight.

 

[Coastal Kev]

If Hornqvist could play LW, the forward group would fall together so nicely. Have Hornqvist take ZAR's spot on the 3rd line and ZAR take Wilson's spot on the 4th line, that lineup looks so good.

Sprong can LW, in fact, i'll bet that's where he'll find success at in the NHL eventually.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Brassard sucks...

 

[canadianguy77]

The Penguins 4th line has scored as many goals tonight as it has all season when Sprong has been on the 4th line. 2 goals tonight, only 2 goals when Sprong was on that line.

Well I hope youre happy with 2 flukey goals from the 4th line, because this is what were going to be stuck with for a while.

 

[ColePens]

ANOTHER ZAR TURNOVER

 

[Turin]

The defense is trying real hard to give away the game

 

[Bingo71]

f***ing Benny Hill time.

 

[vodeni]

without Maatta and ZAR we could look like something

 

[KIRK]

@ColePens, Pearson-Malkin-Rust > Pearson-Malkin-Phil. 200 feet. And Geno is playing more decisively.

Rust has been better since his bad first shift. Let's see if they get the timing right offensively in the 2nd half of this period.

EDIT: I guess Phil is the issue after all, because Maurice is just sending his top line against whatever line Phil is on.

 

[JTG]

Little is such a great hockey player.

 

[KIRK]

without Maatta and ZAR we could look like something

I guess we're learning that we were right about L2.

 

[ColePens]

My lawd. Letang is a beaut tonight.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Great play by JJ...absolutely muffed by ZAR...
I mean, are they watching?
Maybe DON'T PLAY HIM!?!?!

 

[Gurglesons]

I guess we're learning that we were right about L2.

Issue is ZAR and Kessel is grosssssssssssssssssssss

I guess when Horny is back that helps Simon get dropped or gives you Horny with Brass.

 

[Ugene Magic]

C'mon... nice icing.

 

[vodeni]

I guess we're learning that we were right about L2.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Our fourth line I think has like 7 points in the games he is scratched in.

It's actually more I believe. You have 2 tonight, the Cullen goal against Ottawa, that crappy ZAR goal from a couple of games ago, the Cullen goal against Calgary and the Rust goal in the same game.

 

[ColePens]

@KIRK - all i ask is that you call it like you see it. Stop wanting to see good things when Rust is playing like 50% of what he can.


JESUS MAATTA AND ZAR f***ING SUCK.

 

[Gurglesons]

It's actually more I believe. You have 2 tonight, the Cullen goal against Ottawa, the Cullen goal against Calgary and the Rust goal in the same game.

Ottawa Sprong wasn’t scratched though.

But I consider that Pearson goal from Grant a 4th line one.

 

[Coastal Kev]

ZAR soft on puck lost it in Ozone leads to a scoring opp. Then tries to pass to Phil and misses that badly.


And there he is, all of those glorious minutes and the KID who played hard and great last game sits in the press box.

Sorry, I'm back where I was with DB.........nothing they do is going to make me happy until Sully is sent packing.

 

[KIRK]

Issue is ZAR and Kessel is grosssssssssssssssssssss

Kessel with Geno-Pearson was gross.

ZAR and Kessel together . . . I'm not sure there's a word that accurately captures how ugly that mess is.

 

[Bingo71]

Jets are turning it up and the Pens are flailing...

 

[Darren McCord]

Series Question? Has ZAR connected on one pass tonight? Every pass is behind the guy or in there feet effectively killing transition every time.

 

[ColePens]

ZAR and Maatta turn the puck over 10 million times a game and I cannot believe they don't get benched.

 

[Andy99]

Are we going to have another OT against the Jets? Let’s hope it’s like the way we played OTs last year and not this year...
