Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Sens | Loss | Pens 4 Refs 5

[Empoleon8771]

That's your takeaway after we just put up like 10 shots?

Not that Desmith doesn't suck (he does) but man

6 of DeSmith's last 9 starts have him at a save% below .900.

You're not going to win anything with that caliber of goaltending. Ever since Jarry got hurt, DeSmith is at like an .890 save%. He's showing to be entirely unreliable.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Isles are about to lose. So at least we gain a point on them.
Difference is they're playing the goddamn Bruins.

 

[Jobeycool]

Whoever that Pens defensemen screened DeSmith, who is shaky to begin with and did not get his puck on the ice next to the stick to block the shot...

 

[Andy99]

I guess we just sit here hoping the Isles continue to lose the Bruins…I mean it’s sad that our team sucks so much we have to hope the Metro competition chokes…we better have Petry, Poehling, Archi and Jarry ready to go for Friday lol

 

[metalan2]

No one should be mad, shocked, or surprised. This is one of the worst teams in the NHL, and there are no metrics or statistics that say otherwise. This is the norm. They will be outplayed badly almost every night. They didn't deserve a point tonight in any facet.

The only thing that can be done is radically changing roster to force sully into making some changes. Or you could fire Sully, but yea.

Sully will guarantee blame the refs for tonight, will place zero blame on his players or his shoulders.

 

[SomeOldDude]

Bench CDS, he has been f***ing terrible. I'm not one to bitch about refs, but they can suck it tonight. That was horrible officiating.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

The Penguins desperately need to get an upgrade on DeSmith. He can't be the alternative to Jarry if Jarry is out.

Amen.

I don't care about his overall numbers. He comes up small in every big situation. That OT goal was the perfect example. That's a shot that should be stopped.

 

[PaulD]

Big shocker.....just looked like they were gonna lose all game.

Guentzal missing an open net at 4-4 all but guaranteed a loss .
Never thought I would say this ...cause the Pens looked good to me In last seasons loss to Rangers in round one.

But time to clean house. Blow it up.
It's only pain for everyone to put it off.
Take the poor thing to the vet and put it down.

 

[Gurglesons]

DeSmith was somehow both good and terrible. He made some big saves on the PK, but the last 2 were stinkers.

Tkachuk is one of the best goalscorers in the league.

We gave him a clear lane and just backed up.

 

[Josey Wales]

Lucky to get a point in that one. Sullivan is literally throwing the season away so Bryan Rust can play in the top-6.

Sid says that is me Chuckles

 

[Zirakzigil]

I blame @Zirakzigil for bringing in the Pigeon logo. I tried to counter it with the VooDoo one, and it got us a point.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Man, imagine if Talbot was our goalie.

 

[Andy99]

Pens should just sell off both goalies and bring in Vejmelka.

Well CDS at least, I’d keep Jarry

 

[Gurglesons]

6 of DeSmith's last 9 starts have him at a save% below .900.

You're not going to win anything with that caliber of goaltending. Ever since Jarry got hurt, DeSmith is at like an .890 save%. He's showing to be entirely unreliable.

Take a look around the league.

You're not wrong but it's like complaining about a flat tire when our engine is also on fire.

This team is a wreck in every sense of the word right now from coaching all the way down to goaltending

 

[Ugene Magic]

For real though, the Pens could not handle the puck worth a damn. Lost possession so many times on such careless plays with the puck. Was there sticky put on the ice or something?

 

[Andy99]

Maybe the worst 3pt game of Sid's career

And he got second star lol…I don’t know what the NHL is seeing…should have gone to Geno, Rakell or Zucker…

 

[66-30-33]

Meh, my energy is drained enough watching whatever it is they are doing every night I don't need to say anything. Time to go watch something.

 

[Tender Rip]

Got 1 more point than anyone other than L2 deserved.

Awful performance. Sully will think he was jobbed but should look in the mirror.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Fight negative waves with negative waves....

It's bizarre how bad we are at possession.

This post is dead on. It's draining to watch this team right now.

Maybe Petry/Letang will add some life. Can't play any worse than this I guess

 

[MrBrightside]

Gruden played 3:19. Carter 16:42. This team is doomed as long as the powers that be think this is logical ice time.

 

[Pancakes]

It's bizarre how bad we are at possession.

And then it gets worse and worse because after a few bad shifts like that suddenly the puck is in your end a lot and every guy that comes out has to spend all their energy just getting the puck out and by the time they do they dump it in, change, and the next line has to defend again

uh, we just signed everyone to 4+ year contracts. But maybe Sid will take the hint and resign somewhere else in a couple of years.
