GDT: Pens vs Rangers 1530hrs EST start

[sovietsanta87]

11 shots. 3 goals.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Just remember guys we don't have defense. We traded our best defensemen in the D zone.

 

[vodeni]

lol Blomer, he is the worst of the bunch, but one day who knows

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Blomqvist is getting absolutely zero help from guys like POJ on these goals, but these are stoppable shots.

Not going to write him off, but he has not exactly seized the moment.

 

[sovietsanta87]

We should’ve kept fleury lmao

I'd still rather they give him a chance to run with it. Sullivan keeps just going right back to Ned and we all know where that road leads. At least with Blomqvist if they play him a bunch maybe he figures it out. And if not....well Ned wouldn't have done any better.

 

[Turin]

Blom is gunning for a .700 save percentage to end the year

1 year in the AHL and now playing in the best league.

I'm not surprised he's struggling.

Our D coverage is horrible though.

What's the over/under on a Ryan Shea hat trick?

^

In related news, I love when I encounter a series of words that have never been strung together in the history of ever.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

playing blom once evert 3 weeks only to stink isn't doing him any favors

Exactly. Give him some runway. Let him play through the struggles. There's no point in riding Ned we aren't going anywhere and Ned stinks anyways. Blom at least has theoretical upside.

I’m not going to sweat that goal for Blomqvist. A snipe and POJ played that as bad as humanly possible by screening him. The 2nd goal was really bad, though.

I’ve thought this for awhile.

Sure he could be ‘soff, but we never knew how lucky we were until he was gone.

None of the 3 assblowing losers we have now ain’t worthy to even put on his pads.

If the team is this bad anyway they should bring Jarry back up and let Blom play every day against lower competition in the A, imo.

Yeah, you need to see what Blomqvist can do with a fair number of games. I was glad they went to him today even though he and Ned played an equal amount yesterday.

He's done pretty much all he can in the AHL. Like all goalies, he needs to finish his development in the NHL. The only thing he could do in the AHL is a playoff run, which he'll be able to do regardless of where he is now.

 

[K Fleur]

Brian Gibbons was a better Crosby winger than Beauvillier.

Either Jarry or Larsson if he’s healthy yet. Blomqvist isn’t quite ready yet and he’s going to have his confidence destroyed if he stays up here.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Can the season be over yet???

 

[End of Line]

Another goal given up by L4 ffs

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Blom sucks

 

[Genetic]

Goaltending? What goaltending

 

[Duffy13]

That's not a good one

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

about to ruin another goalie

 

[Honour Over Glory]

That is a fantastic Josh Yohe excuse for Sullivan impersonation mate.
