Series Talk: Pens vs Habs Round 1 Best of Five - Episode 5: Camme toé

[Bingo71]

Letang is handling the puck like a grenade right now, he needs to get his head in the game. So many f***-ups with the puck.

Blasphemy!

 

[Night Shift]

Caufield butchering the Flyers names. He's in season

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'm not sure L2 also doesn't need the physicality of the playoffs to be effective. There's another level there for all three of them (actually another two levels for Geno).

Let's just be happy Jay can form full sentences, the amount of punches that giant head of his took in the 80's...

Also, the irony being he's a Philly boy himself.

 

[905PENS]

After this round..is it a one and done vs the next team?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Not exactly an inspiring performance so far. Hopefully Crosby plays next game

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Ah blessed mute button on those NHL network ads that they play literally back to back

Old time hockey! Like Eddie Shore.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Old time hockey! Like Eddie Shore.

Slap some mud on it and walk it off innit?

 

[KIRK]

Deffo a little harder if it's not full timing and full adrenaline. But to a certain extent I think they're deliberately taking a few risks and trying a few things. Realistically, having a team try stuff and fine tune their handling by taking risky options isn't the worst use of pre-season. Get the defensive structure back, get the hands back. And this is pre-season.

And yeah, don't go so soft you go in half-hearted and get hurt... but don't go all out and get hurt.

Honestly, as long as the team's playing better every period, then it's okay. And I think that happened.

Yeah, how I see it, with the proviso that, as with Murray in net, there's a very short leash-- as in opening faceoff Saturday-- for looking at it this way.

 

[KIRK]

It's great for the reason that some of this might stick around when fans are allowed back in games, which makes for some awesome visuals for breakaways or a better view of a well executed powerplay coming to fruition.

Well we don't have to worry about the latter where the Pens are concerned.

 

[Andy99]

Just no more injuries please...and hopefully when Dumo takes off his skate he doesn’t have a significant injury

 

[Night Shift]

We got ALOTA Losses. Is the answer Jesus

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Well Elliott's in so hopefully we start getting more SOG. Even from the Red line works.

 

[KIRK]

Great backcheck from Rusty.

 

[vodeni]

Geno is cheating, can't stay in the circle for FO

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Are the refs masked up?

 

[Andy99]

Geno is cheating, can't stay in the circle for FO

if you ain’t cheating as they say....that’s been the least of his issues this game...

 

[KIRK]

OMG, watching that faceoff . . . @pixiesfanyo, there literally are mini skate divots below the circle.

 

[Borgir]

Are the refs masked up?

No, why would they need masks?

 

[Angrrus]

nice feed Malkin lol

Typical Malkin.

Lazy, careless, sloppy and stupid.

Old news.

 

[vodeni]

58 and 8 need to turn up a notch

 

[Gurglesons]

Dumoulin is trash right now.

 

[PhilThrillPill]

ZAR with a nice play.

 

[905PENS]

Is the next round one game?
