Post-Game Talk: Pens and the horrifying 2-0 lead

[Dennis Reynolds]

f*** you anyone who's gonna blame this loss on TJ. He's the only reason we got to OT.

I mostly agree with your post. But this part.. I mean, did you watch overtime?

 

[Gurglesons]

Jarry scored on himself and then lost the game. Who cares if you "get them to OT" if you lose it single handed?

 

[Bowski]

Jarry pulled himself.

You magnificent bastard!

Sullivan does. Every OT gives him renewed life. Dude is coaching for the loser point

Yes, I did. that was 100% on Sid.

Pinched for no reason so he was late and turned it into a 3v2. TJ sets up for the shooter and Sid deflects it down low to Point with TJ out of position.

Can no one f***ing watch hockey and see anyone besides the f***ing goalie? Morons.

Yeah it's certainly one thing to come in and presume the loss would be 'blamed' on Jarry (after all, this wasn't a 6-1 game), and another to just try and blame any skater for that OT goal other than Jarry. That positioning made utterly zero sense. Junior grade shit right there. It's 3 on 3 and he's doing what exactly? Thinking he's a defender all of a sudden?

 

[SEALBound]

Dear god, when Matt Barkowski is on the post-game ragging on you as a team...yeesh.

 

[Rudy Russo]

I cannot wait till Acciari and Nieto stay in the lineup when Hayes and Glass are healthy again. You know which two penguins are going to be sent down to WBS. Thanks Dubas.

 

[GregR]

Even when Jarry plays well he does one or two colossally dumb things that often lose the game.

 

[spfan]

Disagree on the Jarry blame. He's hardly played this season and they've lost a ton.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Sullivan deserves all the criticism in the world for how this team plays with a lead. Also, it's inexcusable for Puljujarvi to play only 10 minutes with the way he's been playing.

Crosby deserves ample criticism for his backcheck in OT.

But my god, this game was emblematic of Tristan Jarry's career. Plays well for 45 minutes, gives up two in the third, and then is completely off the map on the OT winner. Embarassing.

Poulin and Pono gone and JP benched again when lizotte comes back

Move em’ to f***ing Iowa for all I care

This is not the team I fell in love with watching as a young lad

Pens have now lost 8 two-goal leads this season and are 3-3-2 in those games.

This game was a microcosm of Jarry’s career.

So much so it would only be fitting that it be his last here.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Crosby had 2 chances to get the puck there, one before Jarry bites hard on that play and the pass is made, it slowly floats and Sid just needed to reach and knock it to the corner, he doesn’t. Then he skates right by Point and again, does absolutely f***ing nothing.

True but a well coached team locks it down and they cruze to a win.

Jarry's bad play is amplified 10 folds by sullivans incompetence.

But he loves mike sullivan and playing for him

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Holy f*** you guys are pathetic.

Sid breaking up the play right to Point and Petterson not playing him had zero to do with the OT goal and it was all TJ.

f***ing losers.

Dude, Crosby's poor play doesn't mean a damn thing if Jarry just stays in his cage instead of wandering like a lunatic.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Has Monty ever been to the Soo?

 

[SomeDude]

Will Hockey Canada kick Dubas off their staff when he tries to lobby for Jarry to be on the team?

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

I know Montgomery is available, but I'd take a literal f***ing penguin over Sully at this point.

Sully should be gone, but TBF, he did win 2 cups. Bruins should've had a cup or at least more than 1 playoff series win.

Now I do think Pens should fire Sully now at this point. And I think Montgomery would make sense to be the replacement. It might work with the Pens and him. But I do understand Boston letting him go.

Jarry bit on that play hard, no one is saying he didn’t, but the team is there to bail him out too just like how he was doing all game except for that bad goal deflecting off his stick before that OT goal. We can blame Jarry on that one and we should, but it was also a goal that was avoidable if the so called greatest 200ft player actually does what he should have in two instances.

Like FFS, the shots were almost double what the Pens put up and in the 3rd it was something absurd like 14-4. Crosby had 2 opportunities to clear the puck or check the player after Jarry bites hard on the pass, he did neither.

Sid didn't bail out a monumental mistake by the goalie - therefore change the conversation from the goalie to Sid.

Jarry also scored on himself this game.

Did he play better than he usually does? Yeah. He made some timely saves throughout the game (remember, it's still early in the season and his usual collapse is springtime) - but then basically single handily ruins his own efforts.

Defense can be bad, forwards can be bad....Jarry was good, until he was utterly awful. That's the nature of the position and why he's ALWAYS been overrated here. He plays like a backup or 1B goalie and always has. Just can't sustain good play and gives up awful goals. Good enough to probably be someone's platoon goalie but his time here has expired.
