GDT: Game 80 | Pittsburgh Penguins vs Washington Capitals | 7:30PM | Healing Vibes Phor Phil

[OnMyOwn]

A plus so far is sid. He’s been good for a while now.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Letang, Malkin and Kessel have been BRUTAL lately...

 

[Andy99]

I hope Grubauer doesn’t get a shut out and gets confidence against us....he looks really strong right now

 

[KIRK]

yeah i thought it would be Hunwick's fault bc the trailing defensman for Capitals if ever there was one is the responsibility of #71

Bingo. It's not Geno's job to pick up the streaking forward there. It looked awful because he recognized that Hunwick screwed up on his positioning by sliding all the way beyond the middle of the ice for no reason and tried to cover for him.

They’ve had a lot of games that sucked to watch this season.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

We won the last two cups because our stars stepped up and played like they were better than everyone else.

Besides Crosby, we are losing because our stars are playing much below where they should be.

 

[NastyNick]

After seeing what Schultz was doing with the PP yesterday... they decided to go back to Letang? Results pretty predictable. He cannot run the umbrella.. no one respects his shot or his pass.

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m not really unhappy with our play today.

 

[zero8771]

Malkin might be asleep

 

[cygnus47]

Washington looks like a team that's been playing for a season. We look like a team at game 1. No consistency, no flow.

 

[wheelz87]

I hope Grubauer doesn’t get a shut out and gets confidence against us....he looks really strong right now

We've had like 1 good shot?

 

[Bnat66]

Shouldn't we cut em some slack for playing a game last night?

 

[Terrapin]

I’m not really unhappy with our play today.

No kidding.

 

[KIRK]

Malkin might be asleep

Huh?

Because of the PP where he was used as a decoy on the pathetic zone entries or because of the goal against because Hunwick inexplicably abandoned his position or because he can't do it all for Phil at 5 on 5?

I lose track . . .

And, BTW, here's how AWFUL Hunwick-Oleksiak is. The shift before? Sheahan and Horny were protecting the net because those two ass clowns on defense completely abandoned their position.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Guys it's not even half way thru the 1st

Shouldn't we cut em some slack for playing a game last night?

Sorta. Playing for position still tho.

 

[Andy99]

We've had like 1 good shot?

No...we’ve had a few more than that...we’re not getting him moving or using deception though....

 

[vodeni]

They are not playing badly, but this transition defense just not getting better

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

sid is playing 1v5 out there right now

 

[Shrimper]

Letang is shooting a lot more lately.

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Letang two shots through

 

[LOGiK]

Malkin might be asleep

 

[Gurglesons]

Letang is feeling it offensively at least.

He is still not good Letang on the D, but his puck decisions in the O zone are getting a lot better, especially his shot.

 

[ColePens]

Evgeni Malkin went from red hot fire to absolute ice cold. He's playing piss poor hockey.

 

[Gumbercules]

You're in trouble there Geno, just fire back in the corner. Turnovers at the blueline lead to odd man rushes.

 

[OnMyOwn]

How many open one timers will OV get here?
