GDT: Game VI Pens vs Stars 1930hrs EST: Dancing with the Stars

[Josey Wales]

I mean yeah, I've been saying for a while that it's because of Sullivan's system that this team doesn't go to the front of the net.

YES YES YES ! It is all Sullivan's Fault who is gonna go in front of the net ? Sid, Geno , Jake, Rust

Sullivan naturally. He's the problem, he's the solution.

 

[SomeDude]

Watching Oettinger is legitimately fun. I still say he’s going to end up this generation’s best goalie when it’s all said and done.

 

[Jobeycool]

can they get to OT at least once?

They can't even get to OT anymore to get in shoot outs.

 

[Ugene Magic]

That's probably at least a couple weeks or more for Ludvig.

Very solid your first game. Get well...

Sid should be able to go the net-front. He has some of the best lower body strength and balance in the league.
He should probably be the net-front on PP1.

 

[Andy99]

We just require too many good looks to score relative to most other teams. That's the team's #1 weakness.

We don’t take away the goalie’s eyes, get him moving (because Sullivan preaches north-south only, not East-west) or make life hard for him in front of the net…mostly why we don’t score

 

[canadianguy77]

Just get Sullivan out of here…I put a lot of blame on him for the lack of scoring…


The ones we have our old, so I would not expect a Pastrnak to be walking in here unless we draft him…5 years at least lol

What…you don’t use a couple of softish pipsqueaks as your net front guys on the power play? Are you insane?

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

DAL is sort of like Lightning a couple years ago. Big, strong, pretty well structured, and when they aren't controlling play the G shuts it all down. Pretty impressive squad, amazing the Kraken took 'em to 7 games last year.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

You know your team is trash when you have zero faith they can even come back only down 1.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Also horrible f***ing decision making and the polar opposite of ice veins.

Yeah, we’re not cool and collected and we don’t hold on to pucks…we panic and grip the sticks tighter…anything else I’m missing lol?

 

[metalan2]

Sully will be back to excuses tonight. Out shot, out chanced, just didn't drop x infinity.

 

[pistolpete11]

I don't know what everyone is complaining about.

30-20, guys. We're winning.

I may put a decent sized bet on them to win it all this year. Best Forward depth in the league imo. Just a slow start from a few guys, but they'll get going.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

It's a one goal game against one of the best overall teams in the league, a potential Vezina contender in net, and one of the stingier defensive teams in the NHL.

Are there frustrating aspects, including the lack of traffic in front of the net? Absolutely. But it's been pretty even overall.

 

[vodeni]

that second goal is on EK 100%, just a lazy play after he lost the puck just stood and watch...

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It'd be cool if this organization wasn't so averse to having a specialist. Gimme a dude who can snipe a puck, even if he sucks defensively. Wannabe swiss army knife dorks have been a plague on the Pens for an annoyingly long time.

Where have I seen this before?

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Watching MMA for the last like 7 years has both desensitized me to seeing guys get knocked out and made me realize the consequences of it.

People talking about making sure he's not dead from that? Ok, settle down. I've seen a guy run across the cage, flying knee a guy in the face, and then punch him multiple times when he was clearly unconscious on the ground. That guy (eventually) sat up and walked out of the cage.

On the other side, "I hope he's OK", he's definitely not OK. Getting knocked out is not OK. Obviously a fighter is different because they are going to get hit in the head again even during training, but a fighter would be out for minimum 3 months after getting knocked out. Most should probably take more like 6+ months. I would be surprised if they let Ludvig play again before 2024.

You are very wrong. Guys get KOd sparring quite a bit inboth MMA and boxing. It doesn't happen with a good partner but you are clueless on that comment.

Hell I got KOd sparring by a professional boxer and was back out in the ring in 2 months and that's only because that's when my fight was. I was back to sparing that night.

Where is this 3 month 6 month window coming from

you are not getting it, we praised them in the first they were winning, but after that it looked like last 3-4 years, just overwhelming feeling of shit will happen, and things won;t go their way, the frustration creeps up and there is no one person there to do something to turn the tide...hope I am wrong

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Coming into this game, Duchene, Faksa, Marchment pointless. Robertson goalless. 3-0-1.
Now about to be 4-0-1.

First, you're really calling me "very wrong" over a month difference?

Second, 3 months between fights. They are back training before their next fight.

Third, sparring the same day you get KO'ed is very, very stupid.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

If you don’t fire sully after that flameout last season, combined with the start to the season, you aren’t a serious organization.
