GDT: GDT#4| Penguins vs. Redwings | Wed, Oct. 18 2023 7:30 PM EST|LCA| Hey, it's My B-Day, all I want is a Karlsson good game...

[Pancakes]

This team simultaneously can't clear out the dirty areas in the defensive zone while not being able to go to the dirty zones in the offensive zone.

Slow and old

 

[TNT87]

First couple minutes of the game was fun at least.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

It's like 2 on 4 with Detroit in our zone and they are just schooling us...

 

[sovietsanta87]

Guentzel moving like one of those bubble hockey Players. No skating. Just spinning around in circles

 

[Grouch]

Yeah Harkins probably out of the lineup soon?

Should have been waived prior to game 1.....not sure why he was given a shot. Let them claim him back...waste of a spot.

 

[JTG]

Hornqvist did nothing to break the trap as he was way too slow. Tanev would be useful though

It was more so down low and around the net - grinding things out and getting pucks on goal and causing chaos. We need a dirty goal right now.

 

[SEALBound]

Lol, Dragon ragdolling people.

 

[madinsomniac]

With Rudwedel on a waivers level of a play.

Ruh is a perfect #7… the problem is the staff thinks he is like a # 5 guy and overplays him… he has good games and terribad ones…

He is the kind of guy your gm has to trade to keep the coach from misusing him

 

[Ugene Magic]

Even the fight was sad...

 

[Turin]

If they're gonna get shit on at least it's because the third pairing is killing them. You can improve that rather easily, probably by just playing other guys you already have.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I'm ready for coaching changes.

It’s an accurate description, haha. However you interpret it.

The guys just don’t give a f*** today. It is what it is.

 

[Trade]

It’s always the guys who have been here getting involved in the scrums

Petts
Sid
Letang
Geno

Where the f*** is this toughness we traded for/signed?

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Yep, that’s why we will be a .500 team at best like we’ll be after this game…zero reason to expect playoffs

And I feel there are two types of teams, 1 good and 1 terrible. You just don't know which one is showing up.

Coaching staff if getting out coached as usual

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

That was the worst fight since Semin and Staal.

 

[WickedWrister]

"Absolutely, we've got to support our team through thick and thin. Hopefully, they'll address these issues and come back stronger. Let's go Pens! #PenguinsNation"

 

[Jobeycool]

How anyone could blame Jarry for this game is beyond me. Our third pairing defense is the culprit.

Just blaming on the goalie like others do... everyone knows how pathetic the bottom 6 are lol.. Ellers is have decent, the rest are horrible.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

The 100lbs man again lol

 

[ColePens]

Their goal song is the most annoying thing in the world

Goal songs hit different live. Like Blur - Song #2 live is a BLAST. That song would be a BLAST live.

On TV... they suck.

He plays 12 minutes a night. I don't know how many minutes he needs to not play to be good enough.

I mean Ruhwedel is playing 12 minutes a night. They're really not using him like a #5.

Honestly, for how they want to use the bottom pair I don't think either POJ or Ruhwedel fit it. If it's playing 12 minutes a night and is being used mostly for PKing and defensive assignments, gets some physical DFD that can bully the other team.

He plays like a #9 these days.

Kind of what I’m seeing tonight. Same pair getting caved, not physical, etc. There’s at least one guy sitting that can help with that.

 

[madinsomniac]

Slow and old

I mean its been a problem for the better part of their younger years too,
So that isnt the best excuse
