Post-Game Talk: Pens Sens. That’s how we lost.

[Pancakes]

People are saying they are gonna get bodied on the road but this team always aims for maximum pain so I venture it is likely they have 1 or 2 false hope games on the trip.

Yeah I fancy we go 1-1 over the next two games. Maybe even 1-0-1. Just enough to give some hope.

You can still move up. The Pens would pick fifth overall if they won the lottery. You'd really want to get into the top 4 if possible. The top 4 is pretty good.

But f*** if I'm gonna sit here in fantasy land and hope for the Pens to win the lottery with a .5% chance I'd rather sit here and hope that I win the lottery instead.

A top-10 pick gives this team a shot at a kid projected to be better than anybody they've picked since Staal, probably. And it'd be cool to actually give a f*** about the development and follow a prospect who is worth a damn for once as opposed to hoping these C-tier or worse doofuses turn into anything.

Adding another 1st or two by dealing Zucker and Dumo at the deadline would've made for a hell of a draft day--whether they used the picks themselves or dealt them. Just sayin'.

Unfortunately,

Hextall will probably be making that pick.
Sullivan will be here for years f***ing up and kinda of development of any decent young players.

 

[Phil68]

Kapanen has been playing very well on St. LOUIS. So the issue is the pens not the players

They ain't gonna get into the top 10 I don't think. Not unless the playoffs look hopeless. If that happens Sid and geno might nope out of playing hard

 

[Pens x]

-The old 29er was trying to put lipstick on pig in the post-game show. He said all is good because if the Pens win out, they will be fine since they control their own destiny. However, don’t the Panthers and Pens both have 12 games left?

- if a rookie took that penalty late in the like Ruh, they’d be gone.

If the Pens win out they jump the Isles.

If they finish 16th they have luck to get into the top ten.

Hextall is decent at drafting in the 10-20 range.

If the blueline's decimated by injury, the team can't score to save itself, and the goalies are gonna be a shitshow--I don't think it's improbable to see them faceplanting down the stretch.

I doubt they'll end up with a top-5 pick by lotto luck or anything, but a top-10 pick is a much better outcome than seeing this team get shitkicked in the 1st round again then all the bullshit finger pointing that follows while nothing gets changed. (And even if it did get changed, it's probably too late at this juncture.)

-edit- FWIW, I fully expect them to stabilize the ship just enough to sneak in and get slaughtered in the 1st round. I just would prefer they miss, and miss big time, and genuinely think it'd be the best for this team long-term. /shrug

 

[MrBurghundy]

But they almost had 50 shots, so they played good!

They scored so many goals that just didn't go in the net.

 

[Empoleon8771]

He's really not. He has a couple of points but he's getting absolutely slaughtered analytically when he's on the ice.

Let's not act like the shitty players the Penguins got rid of are actually now good since they're gone now. These guys all suck.

lol…win out…they’ll be lucky to score a goal against Colorado….

Analytically we've been a top five team for years.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

We're gonna add the Kapanen log to the pile of shit we have to revisit every time a former Pen has a solid shift, huh? Cool. Hey guys, what's Klinkhammer up to?

Dude was a failed experiment here. The best thing he ever did for this team was get traded for Phil. The coach was never gonna cater to the dude, and the dude never gave the coach any reason to.

Good riddance.

 

[Gurglesons]

Can't wait until Columbus adds Bedard next season and Philly gets a top five pick. That's going to end our playoff hopes next season.

I miss Brock McGinn. Like Granlund he didn't score or do anything at all offensively but he did at least cost 2.5 million less.

He actually has more goals than Granlund.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Last two seasons they got goaltending.

Except when it mattered

HBK 2.0 Returns!

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

I bought a Mustang today so idgaf rn

Well that's what happens when you only look good 50% of the season.

It's funny this team is the same shitty paper tiger they've been under Sullivan the last 2 years but they aren't getting the easy wins like they have the past few years.

I bought a Mustang today so idgaf rn

Did you get married too? Or are you only living up to one military stereotype.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

I... Agree?

I think I'm at an all time low. I'm about to hop on Ragamuffin Gunners loser train.

Broke: Ragamuffin is a troll

Woke: He was right all along

 

[Ryder71]

The story is similar. The power play continues to lose us games when the goaltending doesn’t.

Plain and simple we're just not that good, it would suck to have to pay for a seat at a game like that. LOL

donde esta el grito reaccionar

 

[Ryder71]

Pathetic

This team has zero jam, zero fight. So many passengers.

They're just not very good and it's going to be a very painful few years so buckle up buttercup, let's hope we draft well!

It's over
