It's A Hockey Night In Pittsburgh !
- Thread starter mike 301
- Start date
Yes. Pens gone in 4, no more than 5. What an awful start. They look like they are skating inQuicksand.
Just saw your post and game started but, some thoughts .....
- NYR have the best goalie in the league right now, Pens are playing their backup goalie.
- NYR are faster and more physical then the Pens, their top two lines are as good as ours and their bottom two are playing better than ours ...... the Rangers have a lot of talent (deeper than us).
- NYR defense is as good and deeper than ours.
- NYR have better structure than the Pens,
- NYR have a great transition game and so the Pens cannot turn the puck over or you will see a lot of odd man breaks against us ...... if we can't carry it into their zone, then get it deep and forecheck so they can't come out with a lot of speed.
- Their power play is somewhat better than the Pens .... both teams have very good penalty kills .... we can't take penalties !
- Pens have more playoff experience .... LOL !
Would guess NYR's in 5 but upsets happen !
Rags are playing playoff hockey while the Pens are sleepwalking. Lucky it’s only 1-0 after the first period.
Syd needs to retire. He has been unnoticeable in the last so many playoff series. 5 on 5 we are a joke. How do you score a 5 on 5 goal when you can't generate any shots? If Sully is back next year, something is seriously wrong.
Once again we head into the playoffs with a bunch of 170 lb players. We are going to get checked into oblivion! Rangers in 6
Penguins soft as charmin. Sullivan got rid of Cole and Reaves and wants his teams free from big tough players. Okay fine. How's that working for him? Rangers beating the crap out of us so far and we have nobody to stand up to them. Plus we're old and slow. nice recipe for a quick series win by New York.
Yes Sully has hit his expiration date here. Great coach, will do well elsewhere but they need to go in a different direction that Sully absolutely refuses to go.
Ok. The only chance they have is if I prematurely proclaim “Game over” and reverse karma occurs.
Not sure what Ruewehdel was doing on the Rangers goal. There were two Rangers he could have gone to, so he decided to leisurely skate to neither of them. Crosby didn't help there at all either.
Ok. Boy I really hope somebody doesn’t ram Reaves head first into the boards! That would be TERRIBLE.
He must have been watching Chelsea vs Real Madrid and taking notes. Lol.
Two nice passes from 87 to 59. Pretty good period for the Pens minus one play in the defensive zone.
Hey! Pitt is advertising for 2022 Football Season Tickets under the in-game scoreboard of the Pens game on AT&TSN! 👏
