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

[lettuceAA]

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

Very solid your first game. Get well...

Bright side is I think he gets paid his NHL salary while injuried.

 

[wgknestrick]

Big Z has made a significant difference so far on the third line. Hopefully it's not just a short term blip and he can keep that going.

Imo Eller has been good the whole year so far. Doc has to start showing something soon though.

The guy has shown so much potential and deserves to stay...even through the rough times. Just needs someone to believe in him and coach him into being a NHL player. He has all the tools. Big Z's rough times aren't any lower then the scrubs still on this roster, but he at least has legitimate highs.

3rd line needs to start converting these chances and work on their shot placement though.

 

[ColePens]

Graves - can you not suck?

 

[vodeni]

not a good start

 

[Andy99]

I’m giving this team another week,…that’s it…if they don’t start becoming more fun to watch, or winning some games, I’m going to stop watching the games

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.

Reread what I said. My fight was scheduled 2 months from that day. It's not the reason I had to wait.

Second, fighters take time off after fights because the commitment going in. You are starving yourself, cutting weight and just going thru a grueling regimen. It has little to do with recovery if getting hit. I know pros that are right back in the ring or on the mat a week after a fight.

I wasn't laying there in out cold but dude rung my bell. Collected myself went back to workout and light sparring later.

A KO isn't a concussion.

I'm skeptical, bud.

 

[ColePens]

EK and Lidstrom avoid hits like i've never seen before. I do not understand how they do it.

PLEASE WAIVE CARTER

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Zohorna with Malkin and Smith. They had a shift together late in the second and I wasn't sure if it was just a late change. But they're out there again.

Rakell with DOC and Eller.

 

[ColePens]

Just WOW... wow... f***ing awful period. Looping around lazy as f***. No stop/start. No support.

Jeff Carter is a f***ing joke.

And now 3-4 icings

 

[metalan2]

Carter legitimately looks like he's in an alumni game. Utterly absurd he's getting minutes.

 

[Empoleon8771]

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.

Honestly I don't even know if they need that. These guys at the NHL level should be able to beat a goalie clean every now and then.

I think this team is just slow, both due to their system and players, and it's harder to get grade A chances when your team is slow.

 

[ColePens]

Kris Letang doing his best cross check bullshit

 

[Josey Wales]

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

BUH BYE

 

[Andy99]

I can’t wait for the “its hard to watch a teammate get knocked out” explanation for this game…wow, it’s absurd Carter hasn’t been benched

 

[WickedWrister]

Short handed goal would be nice right about now

 

[Josey Wales]

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

Yes because it is The HC

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Awful call

 

[vodeni]

Just WOW... wow... f***ing awful period. Looping around lazy as f***. No stop/start. No support.

Jeff Carter is a f***ing joke.

And now 3-4 icings

they got some real good speech in the locker room

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

It is interference to hit the guy who just chipped the puck past you now.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Short handed goal would be nice right about now

I'll settle for a kill

 

[ColePens]

- Worst bottom 6 I can recall and worst 4th line since Gladams
- I think Jarry is literally our 2G.
- The team has played the same with different names - Sully needs to go.
- The powerplay could have ended this game early.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Don't want to jinx it but Neds been excellent

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Nedelkjovic seems to track the puck well. Just need to keep him near the cage and not go wandering.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Ned's seemed to be in a really good mindset since coming over.
