Post-Game Talk: Pens beat the cup champs convincingly

[vodeni]

He was horrible tonight.

I'd gladly move him.

He really struggled could not get the puck out, he is just awful against hard checking team, that’s what happened tonight

 

[Rudy Russo]

I love seeing Matt Nieto on the ice when the score is tied with under three minutes to go in the game.

John Marino vibes.

He's a fine # 3 D, but with our RHD who are weak in front of the net you need some soliders on the left hand side.

Nic Hague would be a dream.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Dubas built that 4th line

and Sullivan keeps playing them (Nieto and Accari). I'd be fine with Pool Party, Glass and Hayes.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Did I predict it or what? Incoming wins against the next two opponents as well.

Why do you love that? I'm confused.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Comically outplayed, our players were outclassed and Sullivan's system was outclassed.
Jarry shat the bed at the end but the team defense was ripped to shreds for like 45 minutes. You blame Jarry but you can't blame Jarry when the team is hemorrhaging chances like that.

Nieto is one of the worst players we have had in years. Shea is also brutal.

Letang >> Karlsson, again.

DOC skating full speed at a 45 degree angle into the net was hilarious.

I think that's a bit harsh. FLA is arguably the best forechecking team in the league and he got caught out there for over three minutes and still was a + player on the night. I though he did pretty well all things considered.

 

[Gurglesons]

He's the reason we won, but yes move him for a tidy sum yes!

7-2-2 with Lizotte.

Pettersson is the reason we won?

Must be going blind old man.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

The only move to make here in the next 72 hours, is waive Nieto. There is no need for him and no one will come calling for his services. Let's move on please

Rangers, Leafs, Avalanche next. Then 6 of their next 9 games will be 4 point games against Wild Card opponents.

No, it's just that you don't understand hockey, that's all. MP is very respected in this league. And very likely our biggest trade chip.

@ people wanting to waste Petts on fffing Hoglander.

 

[Ryder71]

@ poeple wanting to waste Petts on fffing Hoglander.

I wouldn't, unless a 2hd rounder and Mynio came back with him. Or at least the equivalent. That'd be a solid return.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

@ people wanting to waste Petts on fffing Hoglander.

No chance, Hoglander needs to be picked up on the cheap side a la Tomasino.

Petts will return a much better package of picks and prospect

Before he gets injured, (or, something that could mitigate his value) he should be moved. EK is his partner, which essentially means he has to cover for both of them.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

This is bad for the tank bros, but those of us with Stanley Cup aspirations are quite titillated with our recent winning ways.

Should have been given to a REAL defensemen (MP)

 

[Rudy Russo]

I'm confused too with Sullivan decision in playing him.

We need to hope Rutherford really wants Pettersson for that return.

 

[Gurglesons]

At this point if we can get a 2nd and a prospect for MP28, I'd just do it.

He's been total ass probably our worst defenseman this year tbh.

It's funny that Pickering has more NHL points than AHL points, in fewer games played.

It's funny that Pickering has more NHL points than AHL points, in fewer games played.

It’s funny that injecting some youth and skill into the lineup made the team somewhat better. Imagine the 4th line with Puljujarvi and Glass instead of Nieto and Noel.
