Post-Game Talk: Stackin points in CAR
- Thread starter BusinessGoose
- Start date
Turned on the game for literally the last 3 minutes. Two of them, a PP, Sid goes off the ice with a minute to go on the pp. Then Acciari and Nieto come on with a minute to go lol.
What star on any team leaves the ice at the end of the game while on the pp? Ovechkin would play 5 minutes of he had to.
Then, it is a foregone conclusion of the Penguins need a defensive zone faceoff they will lose it or if they need a faceoff in ot they will lose it.
Sid in OT vs Aho, he was never going to win it.
Absurdly pathetic performance once again vs a fifth string goalie.

So idk, maybe play him more at home and Jarry on the road? Is this rocket science for our top 2-3 coach?

Didn't deserve a point. Great play/slapper by Karlsson who had a very strong game.
L2 was utter dog feces. Malkin did nothing, as he should just sit games out against Carolina. Petts not good. Nieto should stop playing. Crosby and losing important faceoffs - name a more iconic duo.

Who?
Unfortunately Sullivan has these guys competing. It's a shame they won't roll over. I've had just about enough of this mediocrity!!!!!!!
Where's the f***in injuries to Sid and Geno? How have they escaped it this long? Because they sure as hell couldn't stay healthy in their primes!!!!!!!!!!!! OR, sell off, trade Ricky Raks, leave Sid without help!!!! Trade Petts before he tanks his value entirely!!!
Hopefully some team will start throwing cross checks, stick out their knees and rattle some bones, ENOUGH!

Right, so why should we want to see it continue?
Change is good, a few injuries and they'll give up. This charade won't last.

It is the morning of January 6, 2025, and we are currently in a playoff spot.

No team will ever make the playoffs with a .500 for as long as this format exists, which puts them in a NON-playoff position.

The scheduling is weird. Next 5 at home followed by a 7-game road trip. 14 games in January, 8 games in February.

I am stunned that the Pens got a late PP against CAR with a game being tied and didn't actually allow a shortie. Silver lining and all that jazz.
Scoring on our first two shots against a backup goalie, the opponent being on the second game of a b2b and yet you just knew we would find a way to lose eventually. Got a point but this probably merely lowers our chances for a good draft pick.
No shame losing against a better team, don't get me wrong, but the way pretty much any team can put enormous pressure on the Pens and hem them in their zone for minutes at a time tells me that there is something seriously wrong with the way they defend. And it's not just Grzelcyk being a forward masquerading as a D-man. Other teams adjust their forecheck but we keep trying to do the same thing in our zone even when it doesn't work at all. No wonder the teams that play most often against us tend to do best against us.
On the bright side, at least the effort was decent and EK65 showed some magic in attack. On the not so bright side, Malkin looked like he was 70 and hungover.

Goalies are like painted ladies of the night. You pay them a lot, throw them away when you’re done, and they burn you in the end

The NHL is such a pathetic league always changing their schedule to fit in with other stupid schedules or picking days or weekends when they only need to compete with televised underwater basket weaving... Which they'll still pull in lower ratings anyway
