This game had my two biggest hockey pet peeves on full display. Being scored on and not scoring enough.

 

[Zbynek]

This game had one glaring issue but I can't seem to put my finger on it.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Not off the 2nd line, but seriously off the lineup too. He is useless, just wake him up, or I don´t know what else.

I don't know what his deal is, I really liked his game the last couple years. He was a very intelligent player but it seems he lost his game overnight.

 

[Smasher]

PP sucks and gives up a shorty. Jarry lets in 1-2 bad goals. Can't score on numerous grade A chances.

Sounds awfully familiar and these things always seem to happen in the same game.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

This was Acciari's best game. He actually hit people tonight.

The same dude who basically gave the Devils their 2nd goal?

What a marvelous collection of the Penguins' greatest hits from the past few seasons:

- allowing a shorthanded goal - check
- allowing a 4 on 4 goal - check
- allowing goals in bunches - check
- allowing a goal right after taking the lead, thus losing all the momentum - check
- Jarry looking like a complete amateur right when the team needs a big save - check
- making a struggling opposition goalie look like a superstar - check
- total loser mentality - check
- inability to clear the crease - check
- too cute on the power play - check
- inability to capitalise on other teams' missing important players - check
- abandoning the successful tactics from the brief winning streak because we are too cool for this shit or something - check
- not learning anything from the losses following the exact same script against the exact same team

In short, way to go Pens, you sure know how to shoot yourselves in the foot.

From a poster on another site re Jarry:

—During his 6 wins, he's given up only 5 goals, with 4 shutouts. A .969SV% and 0.833 GAA
--During his 6 losses, he's given up 23 goals, giving up 4 or more goals in 4 of those games. A .846SV% and 3.833 GAA.

That should tell you just how bad he's been.

All or nothing, Jekyll or Hyde.

I'd rather take a consistent .908 than this randomly elite/sieve crap.

So you're saying he's worth $5M?

Devils out played us and deserved the W.

I give no fault to Jarry I don't see any goalie unless they are on a heater winning us the game.

We won 5 in a row. Let's see how we bounce back

 

[Andy99]

We’re throwing away $10M per year on goaltending and Rakell lol

 

[Icarium]

The acres of room on the short side that Bratt had to shoot for the GWG were downright embarrassing. Feast or famine Jarry strikes again.
Mind you, many goalies are like that but the Pens' mental fragility makes it almost impossible to scrape wins when the bad version of Jarry shows up.

Team Got plastered by the Injarry bug.

Jarry is not that great positionally. Like or not, he reminds me more of a 1990's goalie than a modern - day tender. He cheats, he is lazy positionally (the brodeur one leg up one down save) and he uses his reflexes.

This means he will always be "streaky." Let's hope he gets streaky in the playoffs.

He is what he is, perhaps slightly above average. Maybe average.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

This was like a clinic on how not to play against New Jersey or any good team really. It was shocking we were in the game for so long playing like that.

 

[pistolpete11]

As I said, this was the first game I got to watch since before the winning streak.

I'm starting to think this was a very elaborate prank and they never actually won 5 in a row. Because from what I've seen this year, there's no way this team could win 5 games in a row, regardless of the level of competition.

 

[Power Surge]

He is what he is

He's Injarry

I go the other route other than 'he just isn't that good'. Which of course is more than likely realitiy... but I want to add a level of complexity. Playing goalie destroys your knee's and joints... mental stress on top of it... and not just for a few years... these guys have been playing sports their entire walking lives.
I played sports my entire life, was active, beat the heck out of my body... and man do I feel it and I'm nowhere near pro-level type of abuse / training / pressure.

Kind of forgot where I was going with this... oh... maybe he's one of them...

Nooo no, hes just Injarry.

I've laid this out in the other thread: Jarry is physically damaged which translates to his mental game being weak.

He's Matt Murry 2.0 but people are in denial. We've got 4 more years of this nonsense

 

[LOGiK]

Nooo no, hes just Injarry.

He is hurt the most... what is his game count to missed games count?

 

[Super Duper]

Carter was missing?
