GDT: Game XVIII Pens vs Rangers 1900hrs: Now serving streak of 1

[The Grim Reaper]

Zibanejad looks like he bathes in ethically sourced oil from free range ducks

 

[BillyOcean]

Trusting Alex nylander and Jeff Carter to do anything well together on a power play unit is f***ing wild

 

[DesertedPenguin]

DOC no awareness either. He's one speed and then he can't handle the puck at that speed.

 

[Jobeycool]

No words for how bad this PP is

There PP is like getting excited for the holidays and getting sick with the flu bug..

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Idk why I’m still wasting my time watching this team under Sully.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

how are they at around 15% on PP is beyond me...thats like really high for what we are seeing here

That Sharks game distorted some numbers

 

[vodeni]

Can we please just deny power plays. It's not giving any form of momentum to the pens. Absolutely embarassing.

Malkin with dumb ass passes every damn pp

right on, only if Malkin wasn't making those dump passes, the PP would be buzzing..bench him and we have a winner,

 

[Josey Wales]

Idk why I’m still wasting my time watching this team under Sully.

Yeah He was the Problem in the 1st Pd.

 

[metalan2]

Bring up Poulin and Puustinnen, utterly pointless to roll with Nylander and Carter.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

One of the most frustrating periods of the season.

The Pens could have scored 3 goals.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Trusting Alex nylander and Jeff Carter to do anything well together on a power play unit is f***ing wild

That 2nd PP is basically an average at best 4th line

 

[tom_servo]

Pens powerplay is like these three old ladies sled riding down the hill in the Amazon commercial.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Good period minus the insane amount of turnovers

 

[Josey Wales]

Bring up Poulin and Puustinnen, utterly pointless to roll with Nylander and Carter.

Poulin is Hurt & Pusstinen BLOWS

 

[Pancakes]

One of the most frustrating periods of the season.

The Pens could have scored 3 goals.

Coulda given up that many too with all the dumb turnovers they made. Feeding the Rangers easy offense as Sully likes to say.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Bring up Poulin and Puustinnen, utterly pointless to roll with Nylander and Carter.

Poulin is hurt.

 

[Andy99]

They’re going to be 1-3 in this 4 game stretch against playoff teams and the only win was against a western team…0-3 against Metro playoff teams…what’s left? They’re not going to be trying to win if they don’t do something and since trades are difficult, why not fire the coach ( lol

 

[Miro4Norris]

Positive things about first period:

-We are not Edmonton Oilers fans
-That's it

 

[vodeni]

Yeah He was the Problem in the 1st Pd.

there is a problem in ow he set up this deep forecheck...its easily beat and our dman are now told to pull back big time, so there is a wide open middle where Rangers are having open skating session...having said that, the players can't pass, can't receive pass...not sure how you coach that

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Yeah, I’m going to go watch some Star Trek reruns. Night.

 

[Jobeycool]

Puustinnen cannot be good at the NHL level with last name like that...

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Also, where the hell is 1-4 forecheck? The Rangers are easily breaking the forecheck with stretch passes through the neutral zone because there is so much space.

The first line was on the forecheck at one point and sent one player in. The Rangers held it for just a second or two, and it's like the other forwards couldn't stay patient enough so they came into the zone to forecheck too and the Rangers just slipped it right by them for a 3-on-2.

DOC no awareness either. He's one speed and then he can't handle the puck at that speed.

Get Hino up to L1 immediately!

edit and get Z up to L2

I’m in favor of giving some other coach a shot…nothing much to lose at this point

Now that I am home I can watch the game.
