GDT: GAME 5| COUNTS NUMBER OF THE DAY| FLYERS @ PENS|FRI, APRIL 20th (7:00pm) AT&T

If you’re Letang on that tying goal you hold or hook or whatever not to let that happen. Shotty unfocused defense.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Those east-west passes entering the zone at the blueline end up in disaster more often than not. Everyone else on your team has momentum going the wrong way. If you are making that pass, you have to be 100% sure its getting through.

Usually the same guys doing it.

Once again Guentzel and Sid are unreal together tho. Simon helping out.

 

[pensfan71]

Brass also MOVES during a PP and provides puck support.

Er, come to think of it, Brass would really feel out of place on the Pens top PP.

Maybe his ethic will rub off and force the others to move...

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Honestly, that shortie pisses me off so much. You're on the PP, you just scored two straight goals, you have the Flyers on the ropes. Even if you don't score on the PP and use the full two minutes to kill time, it's better than what they did.

Like f***. Ugh. So stupid.

 

[TheSniper26]

don't even start with this nonsense. we're looking at what's going on right now. and right now, the Pens made a horrible turnover to allow a tying goal from a desperate Flyers team. you're allowed to say that the Pens screwed up.

Yes, you are. But the poster I quoted went on a rant about how this team "always f***s up". Recent history, as in the last two Stanley Cups, would suggest otherwise. But sure, go to bat for the latest Sids Ipad knockoff.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

If we Letang was even remotely a cerebral player, he would have dragged down the Flyers forward and taken a penalty, thus saving a goal

He’s always had problems playing the same way regardless of what’s going on.

 

[KIRK]

Maybe his ethic will rub off and force the others to move...

If Sid, Geno, and Kessel haven't learned to move and support on a PP by now, exposure to Brass doing it won't make a difference.

 

[canadianguy77]

You know who wouldn't be tied 2-2 headed to the 3rd? THE ****ING WINNIPEG JETS!

They're a favorite to come put of the west. We probably meet our maker when we have to play the winner of Tampa/Boston.

 

[ColePens]

Keeping a hobbled Geno and THIS Kessel together is a big mistake

HGR please. Split Kessel between shifts w/ Sid and Brassard

 

[Harvey Birdman]

If I’m wrong I’m wrong. But body language and on ice play I keep on seeing the Pens make a notch and expect the Flyers to roll over. They push... and then get push back, push then get push back. Stop expecting them to hang their heads. It’s a elimination game, their head is in the rope. They are going to fight for their lives. Fight back just as hard, fight or flight style. Because the demon orange on the cliffs edge even if they are an inferior team isn’t going to let you up to a rival in an elimination game.

 

[Gurglesons]

That short hander was all Kessel.

 

[fate]

This is by far the worst game they've played all series and it's still only tied. I'm not impressed but i still expect them to win.

Game 2?

 

[Bingo71]

Time for someone to step up and take over the 3rd. They cannot go back to Philly with a hobbled Geno and and likely injured Phil.

Somebody has to end this tonight.

 

[Will Hunting]

Kessel is unwatchable. I won´t comment on this further.

 

[ColePens]

If you’re Letang on that tying goal you hold or hook or whatever not to let that happen. Shotty unfocused defense.

It's a 50/50 play and he has to be the guy to make it. He's a star on the team. Has to make it. And if he doesn't get that one, he has to get the 1st goal behind the net, too.

 

[DeadPuckEra]

If you’re Letang on that tying goal you hold or hook or whatever not to let that happen. Shotty unfocused defense.

Or you could just not assume the play is dead because the puck is behind you.

 

[ColePens]

Kessel is unwatchable. I won´t comment on this further.

He's f***ing brutal but it's the give/take with him. Up 2-1 at the end of the period while our top PP was off, he can't make that pass. But you have to live with the bad because the good is so damn good.

[Sidney the Kidney]

That short hander was all Kessel.

It was started by Kessel's idiotic pass, but Letang simply can't day dream while Filppula gets two shots at a rebound one foot in front of Murray.

They have to want it more in a elimination game.

Paging Dr. Crosby

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Game 2?

Pens played well in Game 2, I thought. Zero puck luck along with Philly getting all the bounces was what caused that result.

 

[Andy99]

The Flyers have a mediocre team...it’s embarrassing that they can’t put them away....sorry but the Wild missing their two best players are still better than the Flyers...

 

[Bingo71]

THIS team. THIS years team.

Like ****. Ugh. So stupid.

Just some regular season play creeping in that they need to correct..and will. Still early in the playoffs. Sully will remind them this is all them..could have easily put this game away by now.

Just need Murray to be on..dont let anything in. Flyers will go all out...opening up some chances the other way. We need to bury them

 

[KIRK]

HGR please. Split Kessel between shifts w/ Sid and Brassard

That makes TOO much sense to happen. With Geno hobbled and Phil not bothering to move, it just hangs both Geno and Hags out to dry.

That said, as noted to you, WHEN Horny returns . . .

Jake-Sid-Simon
HGR
Sheary-Brass-Rust
Kuhn-Sheahan-Phil

Roll 4 lines. Phil can take a few shifts with Sid and/or Geno so he gets minutes.

EDIT: Honestly, I'd rather have KUHN on the RW with a hobbled Geno and Hags than THIS Phil. I'd write more, but I have to go throw up . . .
