GDT: | Pens vs Habs | Nov 12th 1700hrs MST | Time for Revenge

[vodeni]

Jake kind of became a ghost for the most part

 

[Trade]

Have we come back from a multi-goal deficit yet this year?

 

[Al Smith]

That was a slick recovery by 58.

 

[Qwijibo]

Montreal doesn't even try to attack... if you notice they have three down behind their goal crease just to clear.

They are just going to sit on the Pens and wait for a mistake like that first goal...

or when Letang didn't take the easy pass to other D and just curled around, lost puck, and let them sustain zone pressure for 1 minute or so.

Montreal is a rush team. They don’t get a lot of goals from sustained pressure, it’s from a good zone entry.

 

[Gurglesons]

Some of the dumbest hockey I’ve seen from us all season tonight.

 

[Turin]

Don’t just change Rust, change the entire line. Communicate that there is no excuse for a 3 shot period. Guentzel doesn’t need to be with Crosby every game.

 

[Slaaapshuter]

Jeez, shut up already. What's with these commentators?

 

[DearDiary]

The broadcast on Sportsnet is embarassing. It's pretty much Crosby the game, non stop slobber about him. When they're not discussing what he's doing right now, they're discussing him as a person, his previous seasons and what he could do

Don't worry, Mr. Authoritarian will hold guys accountable and make the necessar--can't even finish.

 

[Pancakes]

Well time to have a really good chance to get some momentum in the 2nd only to have our PP immediately squander it

The Barry Trotz/Islanders strategy.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

They can barely move. I'm so sick of B2B's and 3 in 4's. Degrades the game.

 

[dogthateats]

Imagine taking an offensive zone penalty with 7 secs in the period

 

[Trade]

Don’t just change Rust, change the entire line. Communicate that there is no excuse for a 3 shot period. Guentzel doesn’t need to be with Crosby every game.

I wouldn’t split Zucker and Malkin though, so unless you’re putting Jake on L3, we’re kinda set on top-6 LW’s.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

I can see how it's totally Kap with problems on that 3rd line...

 

[Fiji Water]

Crosby 7 min of ice time, Malkin 4 min

Sounded like he just started make facts up as he went on for 2 minutes trying to fill something out.

you made it farer than i could

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Dude, that is pretty much our Pens.

 

[Pancakes]

For those who care about such things, the 5v5 xgoals is pretty much exactly where it was last game aka Malkin line really up there, Sid's line really down there.

GCR has been truly bad the past two games.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yeah can’t wait for him to hold Kapanen accountable.

Past two? Lol

Pen's aren't exactly aggressive on the forecheck either. They seem to be sitting back in the neutral zone. Not the most exciting but probably a good strategy on the road b2b.

Target audience.

Habs fans mostly watch in French.

Crosby is a Canadian hero. People watching the game in English are most likely huge Crosby fans.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Crosby 7 min of ice time, Malkin 4 min

Malkin has two shifts over 45 seconds, Crosby has 6.

I think part of it is Crosby's line has been caught in their own zone more.

Did you know Crosby just passed Trottier in points? We're witnessing history being made. Unbelievable player he just passed and consider that Crosby may have a few more 100 point seasons left. Selanne still ahead? Crosby might as well already passed him in career points, in fact let's assume he already did. What are your thoughts on the Selke trophy this season? I don't really think anyone stands out right now, but I'm think about Crosby right now
