Post-Game Talk: Penguins 3, Capitals 2 - SAVE US #30

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Are you freaking kidding? Not a goalie in the league stops those.

You were the one *****ing about how he was deep in his crease. If you knew as much as you think you do, you'd understand it's a quick turnover with speed. If he gets out on top of his crease kuz walks him and puts it into an open net; then you'd be complaining about that.

Yeah i have zero.problem calling Murray out but he was ridiculous this game. Considering the circumstances..id say it was his best game of career. Was unreal there at the end..with our D trying to give the lead away

Something we haven't talked about either. Pens were VERY disciplined. They know to stay away from the Caps powerplay. CBJ.. LULZ. They took 300 penalties.

Yes. I love it.. I just want Pens to get pp and capitalize on it. Pens gotten get caps to become weak to penalties..
It should have been 3-4 penalties for Wilson for Hornqvist and Crosby..

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

I also love seeing Holtby's annoyed Torgo face after every goal.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Game 2 Caps crowd, will they be silent from pregame warmup on? they will probably go into Sunday afternoons game defeated.

At this point i dont think they care. Theyve been tortured to the point they arent even phased now.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

How much do you want to bet that Sully has the Pens playing as if they were the team down one game to none at home?

The Pens may lose but I doubt that they come out playing mentally checked out.

Probably wont even cheer when they score and the goalhorn wont go off.

 

[madinsomniac]

Oh really. Sully has said Sheahan is filling in for Geno.. that what sully wants..
brassard is the third line center with or without Geno..
Sheahan went from fourth line C to second line C.. thank you..

That joke is that Sully never plays Malkin enough minutes... it flew way over your head...

 

[Penguin Suited Up]

Murray is so good at reading the pace of the game. The last 5 minutes, he was just swallowing up pucks and sending them to the face off dots. Didn’t let the Caps get into any kind of rhythm.

Boo after they score

And I love the fact we get two days off after this.

 

[ColePens]

Caps obviously didn't pay the league as much as the Pens.

Pony up Washington. You have the money Teddy.

You know what tomorrow is, right? Facebook comments time.

 

[Gurglesons]

Like I said earlier tonight. A sweep wouldn’t surprise me. I thought we’d blow them out, but we did what was even worse. Gave them hope and just ran over them.

 

[ColePens]

Great point. Didn't buy into any BS (not that there was much), played a relatively wise game at times.

After we took the lead, I noticed the Pens were going into the corners ultra conservative. They weren't going to give the refs a reason. If the hit was 100% clean - it happened. If it was even remotely close... nope. They veered right off.

 

[Hockey Freak 7]

Apparently thats not what Sully thinks lol

Sheahan has played 20 minutes in game 6 and 17 in Game 1

He has been the second line c since Geno’s absence.

Brassard plays like 12-14 minutes a game..
He will probably continue that when Geno come

back
Sheahan will got back to 11-12minutes for 4C maybe 14 mines for key situations with Geno or Sid.. Sheahan has earn more time then brassard in my opinion.. I like brassard to play more but he should earned it..

There are two words I want to hear from you, AO. " **** me"

He, "couldn't wait....."

 

[Gurglesons]

Possibly the groin bothering him still. He had lower minutes in the Philly series until the last couple games.

That’s the only thing I can think.

Once we took the lead, he basically took five shifts.

Also, I really hated how they turtled after taking that lead.

Send the entire city of Washinton DC to the crossroads. And then raise a banner up there too.

 

[farscape1]

Missed the game, but Avengers was well worth it.

Oh dam . I got it . Lol.

I feel like a idiot after my last comment..


Aww man..

I feel like a brain fart when Letang commits brutal turnovers..

 

[Tom Hanks]

They set up well in the D zone at the end. Looked very structured and picked the right spots to pressure the puck carrier.

 

[WayneSid9987]

It is just game 1 so...never too high, never too low...
Encouraging thing is the high danger chances for were there.
Both teams will adjust and see what we get in game 2.

The 4th line does need a speed element added. Jooris is the perfect guy for that atm.
Or simply drop Sheary down/ZAR up and see what it gives you.
Fully expect they won't change a thing tho and Geno will just take 1 of Rowney, Simon or ZAR out of the lineup(likely Rowns)
Just really wish they'd keep the Sheahan-Phil combo and maybe with the ice Sheahan's getting atm, theres a chance it may happen.

Didnt work out for Bart Scott

Best of his career? lol, Please.

He was good, although for the first period, I was nervous. He started the 2nd great, none of the goals were on him, he made some key saves. But if that's the best game of his career, we need to trade him.

But, he was a top 3 star this game. He made some huge saves. Crosby was pretty awesome, as usual. Kessel was on.

We were the better team. Only reason we weren't leading after 2 was because Holtby was the better goaltender in the first 2 periods. Luckily, he definitely wasn't the better goaltender in the 3rd and as a result, in the game.

 

[Hockey Freak 7]

If i were to nitpick Sully, it's for this reason. Sully was using 2 centers on every d-zone draw. Every d-zone draw. But instead of trusting 2 leftys, he wasn't allowing Brassard to have those minutes. He was giving them to Rowney.

Well cool. Rowney was 25% on draws. That was his only mistake tonight. Right idea - wrong execution. TRUST Brassard. He dominated the draw.

Sully likes and trust Rowney more and he like Rowney.. probably giving Rowney to get his groove back. He might don’t trust brassard. It is what is..

 

[madinsomniac]

Hornqvist Is ok right?
