I mean good for him for scoring two but his the reason his second goal was even needed was because he made a terrible play on the Jets 3rd goal.
Eller has been solid this year. Moving on.....
I can't really agree with this. The Pens gave up 5 (EN aside) and they looked every bit like they deserved to give up that many.Y'know, that wasn't the worst loss. They came out flat, had a good second period and only one of the Jets' 3 in that period (the last one) was bad. On the "Deserve to Win O-Meter" the Pens were a slight favorite to win. This game only looks awful because we've been dog shit in 3 other losses this season.
With that said, we can't just continue surrendering 35-40 shots per game. We are also giving up the most goals of any time in the league despite having pretty damn good goaltending (outside of Jarry) thus far.
Agreed that they can't defend for shit. But I dunno, they had good stretches, and the metrics say they were a slight favorite to win. In our other losses this season, here were their "deserve to win" percentages:I can't really agree with this.

They can't defend at all.
I used to follow your line of thinking not any more. This is as great of game as they can play, with this coach and this defense, and it was good only for 6:3, that requires a major blow upY'know, that wasn't the worst loss.

I'm so annoyed Letang gets to ride the coat-tails of 87-71 up to the rafters. He's no way a rafters type of player
Yeah, they should do it well before the TDL…give it until Christmas and if our record is as bad as I suspect, start the auction…lolI think they ride it out trade deadline. Trade every vet they can get something for and bring up a bunch of young guys.
Lmao go get shit on by Josh Yohe on twitter a little more defending your goalie who is so bad that he's a third stringer on a team that gives up 4 goals/game
- Who knew using an offensive winger on the 4th line would be a bad idea? *Everyone but Sullivan and Pancake raises their hand*
You zeroed in on a player that hasn't played at all this season until now and right into the usage that doesn't fit his game and made it painfully obvious how petty you truly are.Puustinen needs to show something btw. And no I don't care that Sullivan is misusing him. Hayes, DOC, and Eller find ways to score goals despite getting the same shit assignments.
He's just not that good.

I thought they played them pretty evenly in the final 45 minutes of the game. To be clear, I'm not saying that's "good," just better than they've been in other losses this season.They had their one good period like they've been able to do in most games this year. But got outplayed for 40 out of 60 minutes.
Same shit vs Toronto. They had a great first vs Toronto and then got shit on for 40 minutes. Against Winnipeg their good period was the 2nd but that's all they had.
