GDT: Game 79 | Pittsburgh Penguins vs Montreal Canadiens | 7PM | They'll Start Trying Soooooon

[Tom Hanks]

Sid’s on the iPad. If he sees something he’s mad about watch him score

 

[Ugene Magic]

2 goals for Hall btw..id say he moved into first place for the HART.

They will have to secrue that playoff spot and I agree.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Pens passing decisions have been beyond subpar all year. More mistakes than I can remember since Sully was hired.

 

[pensfan71]

I’d be interested to hear why. He’s been one of our best players the last 6-8 weeks

Just worried if he goes on a cold streak, I feel like he's very vulnerable to hitting one soon. Then again I haven't been watching super consistently so its just a gut feeling

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Only if Colorado doesn't make it.

Injuries will probably end them.

 

[TNT87]

Schultz hasn't been playing well.

I wouldn’t worry and the bonus is he’s forechecking and playing a little more physical these days

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Horny's effort on D

 

[KIRK]

Not even close imo...Malkin,Kucherov,Kopitar,Mack and McDavid are having better seasons. Even Giroux.

Hall has the same number of points as Kopitar.

Honestly, McKinnon is #1 for MVP if Colorado makes it. If not, I think Hall, but Kopitar is right there too.

Forget Malkin and Kucherov. Both had to win the scoring race.

Giroux? Maybe #4.

McDavid? Not with that team not making the playoffs.

Awesome, that's good to hear!

 

[Tom Hanks]

Hornqvist loses the battle, gets mad and gets the puck back and clears

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Kessel man WTF. Every puck to him is now an adventure. Game 79 and still every line seems no one can play with anyone.

Id be ok with that if he was putting in some good games here and there. But hes been this bad ever since the deadline.

If it wasnt injury related...youd see some good games here and there where he looks like himself. Thats what im worried about going forward. He will obviously put in more effort come playoff time, but if it is an injury , not good

 

[KIRK]

he was solid before OT last game too. Like Phil and Geno, it's not where I'd put him, but it's not nearly as bad as others seem to want to believe. Guentzel-Rust was Sid's most productive line last playoffs and 2nd most used wing combo. It's not some new thing, and it has worked for us before.

The only line that produced more for us was Geno and Phil

Because of the Columbus series.

EDIT: First shift HMK looked like HMK from early last year.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Great work by Zar.

Just keeping possession is a huge deal.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Beautiful work ZAR

for what it's worth, "this bad" is still 15 points in the last 14 games.

BRUTAL last 4 games. At Ducks, Kings, and Sharks, then finishing at home to Blues.

They do control their own destiny, but that's just BRUTAL.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Damn sheary.

 

[pensfan71]

Sid with Horny and Shears

 

[Tom Hanks]

Sheary heating up for the playoffs. This is good.

 

[JakeNBake59]

just leaving that here not surprising considering the lack of centers but still impressive

 

[chethejet]

Pens need points here. 3-2 a couple of posts and that is about it.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Yeah i know, which shows how elite of a player he is. But I think we can all agree something is off with him. You can tell with his skating.

Only worried about a lingering injury...other than that, he will be fine in the playoffs

 

[vodeni]

Great work by Zar.

Just keeping possession is a huge deal.

he is slow kind of building pace guy, I think he will be a real surprise in the play offs

 

[Turin]

just leaving that here not surprising considering the lack of centers but still impressive

New face off rules seem to have gotten him back to elite in that aspect.
