Post-mortem on the season

[SouthGeorge]

How about sacrifice playing a little defense.

 

[DegenX]

 

[SouthGeorge]

Weird, almost like he’s admitting to exactly what we all know was true..

It would be nice if he would admit his mistakes in Game 3 and 6 as well.

 

[Gurglesons]

Your two comments are a perfect encapsulation of why I don’t trust the vast majority of this board when it comes to Letang.

Straight up joke talk.

That's an indictment on the organization imo. That meaningless streak should have never come before the team. He could've taken the last 6-8 weeks of the season off and would've probably been a more effective player in the playoffs.

 

[Clare2904]

He is going to go back home, have a newborn baby in the house and still be the same come October.

Yeah, I think we know more about the Penguins injuries and the organization then you know the multi million dollar franchise.

 

[Tom Hanks]

I like that Sid won’t be in the World Championship

 

[Return of the Paek]

Heard GMJR said that Sprong would be a regular next year. Anyone have that quote?

It’s in the Sprong thread

Says the dude who loves Kris Letang and Ray Shero more than he likes the team.

The coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins literally said Kessel’s injury was nothing significant.

 

[SouthGeorge]

All this Letang talk. Yeah, we know who the team blames for this.

 

[DegenX]

Yeah, I really hope nobody goes. They've played a lot of hockey over the last few years.

 

[Joejosh999]

Per Shelly, Sully says he will not be disclosing the Pens' injuries. Wow.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Kessel shooting percentage went from 13% to 5.6%.

5.6% is the lowest of his career and significantly over any finals or regular season (except his rookie year).

Something was up.

That’s not his style. He doesn’t want to come across as using it as part of the reason we lost.

Something was up.

especially since he was so dominant in the first half of the season. Something was obviously up

 

[Joejosh999]

I guess the players will disclose what they want to then.

 

[DegenX]

 

[pistolpete11]

They were all traded!

 

[Joejosh999]

Does the team release an injury re-cap? If Sully won't do it, and the players won't talk, then maybe no info comes out at all?

 

[Bingo71]

Regular scratch?

 

[66871]

Missed Sully's presser...is everyone a game time decision for the season opener?

 

[madinsomniac]

So for the 3rd time the Pens gets eliminated in the second round after back to back Stanley Cup Finals. This is start to looks like a physically and mentally wall where the players can't keep going anymore. Like Halak in 2010, Holtby looked impenetrable in last games, that probably was caused by the Pens gassed out and consequence lack of focus.

Take a look at every back to back finals participant back to the islanders... there is a pretty common theme there....3 peats are nearly impossible in the last few eras
