Post-Game Talk: Harkins appreciation night

[Ulf5]

Alright Dubas, time to sh!t or get off the pot. This team is poo.

 

[metalan2]

When every teammate is standing around and refuses to get open, that's why happens.

Malkin was not at fault at all.

Yea, well, that's fine, but it still happened.

 

[pistolpete11]

I liked the part on the 6 on 5 where Malkin and Karlsson passed it back and forth for 20 seconds with 40 seconds to go in the game, and the jets knew this was going to happen, so they just double teamed Malkin and he just sat there and did nothing for 10 seconds.

Maybe somebody else should have made themselves an option instead of standing there with their thumbs up their asses.

That sequence at the end when geno had the puck was unacceptable. Everyone was standing f***ing still and malkin had absolutely no one to pass to. f***ing move and get open

And he just stood there, not trying to move. That's the Penguins from the last 5 years in a nutshell. Juuuust hoping.

 

[Hotep Numminen]

i've been watching some of the other teams and noticed they have guys behind the bench guiding the players on what to do. have the pens looked into this?

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Harkins should here on out be referred to as Pillow Pants.

 

[Turin]

Harkins and White are just Potter all over again, except there are two of them. Boring ASF. As the league scoring goes up this teams scoring goes down.. almost like the NHL has passed by this team's strategies.

Yeah everyone yelling at Geno, but I was confused what Sid was doing there. He was just standing at the post and could have stepped over two feet for a clear passing lane to open. Just really dumb all around by everyone.

You have to get the puck on the net. The redirect nonsense has gone way too far. There are other ways to generate offense in the NHL.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Just need to trust the process

Sullivan when he's told to use youth...

 

[Rudy Russo]

Watching a bad hockey team is weird. I'm not used to this.

Get use to it. It's sadly going to be the norm.

thank you, he finally manages to get puck to Jake who deoes what? get the puck back to him on the blue line completely covered

Last couple seasons have been weird for sure. Been so used to cruising through seasons. Playoffs were guaranteed.

This team is impotent. The inaction is on Dubas at this point. We're 50 games in not sure what he's waiting for.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

This team isn't finishing 3rd in the metro, nor are they gonna clinch a WC.....

Start stacking losses and unload a few guys....

 

[BillyOcean]

For sure. When Malkin finally passed it to Guentzel and he had a chance to drive the net with speed.....he immediately passed it back to Malkin.

 

[PensPlz]

Has anyone tried telling FSG they might sell some tickets if this team wasn’t as entertaining to watch as getting a root canal?

They stopped taking my calls

 

[cygnus47]

I've given up what little hope I had for this year over the last couple games. EK looked good to start the year, Jarry sucked. Now EK is a real Penguin and Jarry is the only consistent highlight of the season so far. I think it's time to blow this up, since Sully and Rierden are seemingly untouchable.

 

[vodeni]

stood there, where do you want him to go he has a guy breathing on him, do you want him to try to deke through the guys on the blue line..

 

[Ugene Magic]

There's not a meaningful game left this season.

They should have tanked.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Figured the end of the Crosby/Malkin era wasn’t going to be pretty but man, this sucks to watch.

Be thankfully for the three cup championships. It's not the fans fault for the past and current changes made by the coaches and more important the trades and free agent signings from the past three general managers.

 

[cygnus47]

Skate down the boards, dump the puck to the corner. Move himself or the puck, even if it turns into a competition in the corner. Standing with the puck does literally nothing unless the other team makes a mistake, no matter where you are on the ice.

Start to sell what you can from now to the trading deadline.

LMAO!!! even that bald headed f*** RIERDEN is untouchable. What the f*** is going on in management.

Why don't the other 5 guys on the ice move and open themselves as an option to receive a pass?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Dubas - "I've failed this coach by not getting him the right players, the depth I provided and the Norris trophy winner as well as the goaltending depth that most teams wish for, it wasn't enough for the incredible coach we have."

That's the sort of shit I'm expecting out of Dubas after FSG tells him to get out there and protect their boy.
