GDT: Pens vs Hawks 1600hrs EST: Battle of the Birds

[66-30-33]

The hits of the game are so pathetic now.

They always are. You can throw a purse and it will be there.

 

[PamBallam]

I don't think Koivunen has been as good as McGroarty at even strength, but man the dude is a wizard on the powerplay.

If there's one thing this team has desperately needed since Kessel, it's a guy that knows what the hell to do out there on the powerplay.

 

[End of Line]

Embarrassing

 

[Duffy13]

That was potentially a high stick missed stoppage.

 

[Turin]

Rust really in Bryan Rust Superstar mode tonight

 

[WickedWrister]

well there's the regulation loss we wanted

 

[spcastlemagic]

It’s crazy how irresponsible this team can be with the puck

 

[Duffy13]

Need two goals?

Yup Hayes line

 

[Turin]

Point streak over, the kids look like they can play - time to sit the vets the rest of the year and send the kids back and hopefully not win another game.

 

[Duffy13]

Now, all Chicago needs to do, is hire Torts and convince Sullivan to join them

 

[66-30-33]

Nice, no playoffs! LOSE THE REST OF YOUR GAMES NOW!!!!

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Bye-bye playoffs yet again

f*** you Sullivan you twat

 

[Ugene Magic]

About to be #7..

 

[Empoleon8771]

Think this loss effectively locks them in at #7. They're tied in points with both Anaheim and Buffalo, while both have 2 games in hand on the Penguins and the tiebreaker over the Penguins.

They could fall as low as 9th or go up as high as 6th, but it's looking super likely it will be #7.

 

[PamBallam]

It's honestly impressive, yet unsurprising, that we beat all the good teams just to get smacked by a team even worse than us.

 

[Ryder71]

100%

 

[Ryder71]

Beat arguably the best team in the world, looked good doing. Lost to the worst team in the world (at this level), looked bad in doing it.

If we're 7 we can theoretically move up anywhere between (staying at 7) and 1st? I haven't followed lottery rules very closely

The lottery is only for the first two picks so it would be 1st, 2nd, or 7th.

Edit: and if someone behind them wins the lottery they could also drop to 8th or 9th.

They have a shot at #1 and #2 if they don't get #1.

 

[Guins71]

Most frustrating part of this past month is watching this team beat Vegas, St Louis x 2, and Dallas and if they go 2-2 in those games we are sitting at the 4th pick.

 

[66-30-33]

Think I am done watching the Pens. Onto watching playoffs now.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

And if we move up to 1-2 this year does that take us out of anything in particular for next year? I seem to remember hearing something not being about to move up consecutive years.

Yesterdays win was just so mind-numbingly stupid! Also, we wouldn't have finished 4th. Boston has the tank job going and Philly's woefully behind. . At best maybe 6th. But that's a pipe dream now.

You can only move up twice in a 5 year span.
