GDT: | Pens vs Wings | March 28th 1900hrs EST | If we win do we get to keep the wings and fly?

Grove is suggesting that they're taking it easy, but I think this team just isn't very good.

Rust has been taking it easy for the last 3 years. Carter this year too

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Trade Rust and a 2nd at the draft for some good goalie or whatever

 

[Fiji Water]

Rust has been taking it easy for the last 3 years. Carter this year too

But they play within the structure of the team! Or something like that....

 

[AuroraBorealis]

When the whole team consistently plays like shit, it's indicative of poor coaching. But the media won't tell you that

They been playing well in the last 4 though. Showed they're capable of desperation. That's why this one's frustrating.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

We're gonna make this a 3-2 game, pull the goalie in the 3rd and get pooped on

 

[K Fleur]

Penguins/Wings is an awesome matchup 15 years ago.

Now it’s ass.

 

[Andy99]

Giving up before our trademark 2nd period? Bold.

Nothing I haven’t seen before… they won’t go to net so they won’t score…I see what giving up looks like

Maybe so, but I wasn't convinced that they had turned a corner. It would be nice that after a whole season of "learning from that game" that maybe they turned it around. But with Sully at the helm I have little hope for them

 

[Andy99]

We have a team concept (who can find it) and Geno definitely doesn’t play within its parameters but Ruh does lol

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Must be pretty dispiriting to have two double-deflections go in against you in short order

 

[metalan2]

Penguins will not make this one close tonight.

 

[Detroit Knights]

It's okay guys. The red wings have to play good for the first half of the game, then we fall apart for the rest of the game so we can make sure we lose.

I'm confident wings will lose this game 4-3 or 5-4. Just be patient. The refs usually help us tank, as well. Give it time.

 

[vodeni]

I said before and will say again, this team is one move away from making the playoffs: Rust to L3...first of all he needs to feel that he is demoted, and Sid needs to have someone else who won't kill most of his drives and hot streak

 

[Fiji Water]

Granlund is one of the slowest small players in the league, hence he struggles unless he plays with other good offensive players who can gain possession. Yet our braindead coach insists on burying him in the bottom 6 with unlimited dzone starts. The obvious top 6 is GCRak ZMGran but our $5m a year coach is too stubborn / arrogant to do it

No, you don't understand the Penguins, they are the bigger losers.

Dude you gotta pay attention. He's been with Malkin the last 2.5 periods.

 

[Jobeycool]

Granny on L2 experiment is over.....lol.

Racky on L2 now.

HAHA... Granny..

we are good for 20 min. a game, so there is that,

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

The one spot Granlund MIGHT be less dogshit is with Geno and Zucker. But I'm not even really confident that'd be the case. I think the dude's just pretty shit.

 

[metalan2]

I wanted max domi. Can someone tell me why max domi would have been worse than Granlund? That's what people saying to me.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

I'm not sure the 5 game sample is what you should look at with this team... We've been wildly inconsistent this entire year- forwards, scoring, goalie, defense, team defensive structure ...

This looks like the same .500 team that is Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde... between games and between periods.

BTW- Granlund will cost us a 1st to get rid of....

 

[Fatty McLardy]

what a dogshit team. Should've lost last game to a below avg. Caps team after chocking a 3-0 lead.

 

[Fiji Water]

Dude you gotta pay attention. He's been with Malkin the last 2.5 periods.

Sully abandoned it at the end of the 1st

 

[vodeni]

just swaped him with Rakell thats probably what he refers to, panic button, but wrong one

 

[AuroraBorealis]

He did setup Malkin very nicely and Geno even made a good move around Nedeljkovic. Just couldn't finish, which is standard for this team.
