Yea but they played like 17 minutes and were on the ice in the last two minutes for some reason.That line wasn't our issue. You expect that line to not score and not concede. Which they didn't unless I'm misremembering.
You expect either the Geno line or L3 to chip in anything.
[/QUOTE]We pay him less than the average Starter and he's outperformed that heavily for half a season. I never had expectations of him being a top tier guy so maybe I don't view it the same.
Caps had some nice goals, Jarry had some nice stops. Our defensive coverage is horrid.
That's not the issue. The issue is if he'll mentally be there for the playoffs. He collapsed two ears ago after making the ASG as well. He had as bad of a playoffs as you can get. We need a capable backup as an insurance policy.how much do we think that maybe Jarry needs a capable backup so he can get a breather. We keep playing him at this rate he won't have much left come playoffs...
Can't wait to see TB in the f***ing 1st round this year. Just piss away Sid's last legit chance at a Cup.
Just disgusted with this team right now.
Coaching change for another cup run?
Maybe so, but the way he's played during this homestand I don't have as much confidence.how much do we think that maybe Jarry needs a capable backup so he can get a breather. We keep playing him at this rate he won't have much left come playoffs...
I don't really think we deserved a win.
The reffing went our way decisively and we out-powerplayed the Caps. Including what should have been a powerplay after the incorrect review/reversal.
I'm not gonna blame the coach here. These players just aren't taking care of the puck as they should. Also, The loss of Teddy is bigger than most would want to think.You have a better chance of seeing Santa Claus riding a unicorn naked than anything happening to Sullivan right now.
When they don't f***ing embarrass themselves 4 games in a row. Pens have been pretty shit most of the year. The winning streak was a mirage. Only 5 wins vs PO teams in the past like 25 games.Can you let us know when you aren’t disgusted? You seem to only bitch and nothing else.
I disagree, at ES we had more scoring chances and spent a lot of time in the Caps end of the ice. Good goaltending and we win despite our puck management issues.we definitely didn’t outplay the Caps at ES, so I agree that we didn’t deserve the win…
Honestly, Kapanen had a great game I thought. If you're coming to this PGT to dump on him, save yourself the trouble and don't embarrass yourself. He was all over the nice and had plenty of nice chances. Don't submit to group echo chambers.

I think on the sprong goal he left the post far too early. He diodn't look good at all.
That's not true at all.Seeding doesn’t mean anything.
If you can peak for 8 weeks at the right time, you have as good a chance as anyone.
Ok. Just think you're picking at a scab when there's obvious gaping wounds.
Jarry has been played heavily so far this year and been our singular reason for our comfortable playoff spot. So I'll cut him some slack.
Great name2 goals for Count Orlov.
Don’t ask me why i call him Count. It just seems fitting with that last name. And That guy is such a pain for the Pens.
I think he is playing extremely dumb hockey and is the major reason line 2 has few if any extended possessions in the offensive zone. Shoots from low percentage areas when there’s no traffic. Dumps it into areas no one can get to, forechecks without causing turnovers, weak on the boards in his own zone.
Lots of quick skating and willingness to hustle. Just no solidity or end product to it.
Thought we had something with him.
Ultimately, we’ve scored… what… one or two ES goals this four game home stand where we could have really moved away from Caps and Rangers. There’s more wrong than Kapanen, obviously. We need the break.
Gotta give credit to Samsonov also though. He made lots of quality stops because Sid’s line was buzzing. We were much the better hockey team in this one. Annoying loss.
Been saying it for a while now. I'm down for getting Holtby so Jarry has a proper veteran back up with a lot of playoff experience.how much do we think that maybe Jarry needs a capable backup so he can get a breather. We keep playing him at this rate he won't have much left come playoffs...
