GDT: Qualifying Round: Penguins vs. Canadiens - Game 1

[66-30-33]

JJ get lost, go to Detroit.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Meh its just a lucky bounce. Pens are still winning this one.

 

[mpp9]

Sid still doesn't look right. f***.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Gotta admit, I have nightmares of 2013 looking at Coach Julien. And nightmares of 2010 seeing a better goalie on the other end. Can’t hold though, right...?

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

We're going to get Halak'd

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Lol Letang....you already took him out once this year, not again...

Sid not nearly healthy

 

[Woodrow]

Kick JJ out of the bubble.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

The sad part is that JJ got worked on the boards before hitting his own player and knocking the puck into his own net and it got lost in the sea of ineptitude.

 

[ColePens]

IF the Pens play like this, they will win. They dominated play

 

[KIRK]

First goal of the series thanks to JJ

And this is a surprise?

Domi now on Sid and Danault now on Geno. Not sure chasing that matchup for Sid makes the most sense, but the flow of this thing changed once that's the way it started going.

 

[pensfan71]

Sid is definitely labouring out there, but give him another period and I think he'll adjust

 

[Bingo71]

Julien and the Habs have executed this to a tee so far.

Taking early shots at Sid and getting him pissed and chirping? Check.

Weathering the early Pens storm and then getting an ugly one at the other end? Check.

Now with the early lead they can play the kind of game they want to play and clog up the NZ.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

one good thing about Covid, didn't have to watch ZAR's garbage ass play hockey. He totally gave up on the forecheck because he was gotta get hit, which in turn gave the possession to the Habs, leading to a goal...

 

[tom_servo]

Arena audio engineer please queue up letsgopens.wav thank you.

 

[Terrapin]

Who would have thought having guys around the net could possibly lead to goals? Maybe someday we'll think about doing some of that

 

[domaug]

May I remind all the chicken littles that Edmonton scored the first goal this afternoon then got destroyed?

may i remind you of the difference between Carey Price and Mike Smith?

nah it's way too early to think this series is already over, obviously. are we allowed to still be frustrated? like f***ing seriously.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Letang takes out Malkin what a f***in idiot ugh this is a nightmare haha

Behind Carey Price nonetheless. Somewhere Letang should never be.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Johnson dragging down everyone who he’s on the ice with. I mean..there’s got to be a better option than this?

 

[Allie Kitsune]

May I remind all the chicken littles that Edmonton scored the first goal this afternoon then got destroyed?

It just feels sometimes like we're the only team who makes embarrassing gaffes.

 

[canadianguy77]

At least we’re kicking their asses otherwise. Even if we lose today, we should have this series.

Winning 3 out of 4 is about as tough as it gets. They were saying that whoever wins the 1st game in a 5 game series wins the series like 85% of the time.

 

[KIRK]

Well, their L4 is uber crap even with Domi on it.

Geno is playing better and Sid is not 100%.

Which is why you want Sid against Danault. Let them play to a draw and the L2 speed and Geno's size exploit Suzuki. As I just said to @ColePens, the flow of this one changed once the matchups changed.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

may i remind you of the difference between Carey Price and Mike Smith?

nah it's way too early to think this series is already over, obviously. are we allowed to still be frustrated? like f***ing seriously.

There is being frustrated and there is crying like insecure little bitches at the first sign of adversity.

They got a lucky break. We are owning the play. Calm down.

 

[Night Shift]

Since this is Toronto is David Ayers the emergency goalie?

 

[Gumbercules]

4th line and 3rd pairing on the ice for the first goal, and Sully goes right back to it. Living dangerously.

 

[cvrle1]

Thats what happens when Sully is stubborn and forces playing JJ over someone who is actually a better player in Riikola. And Tang taking out Geno, lovely lol.
