OT: The mess that is the Penguins

[goalieman]

Congrats caps

Murray doesn’t have it​

Still a long way to go ....... anything can happen.​

 

[goalieman]

Lazy penalty and a pathetic goaltending effort leads to a 2-1 deficit

Yeah, you just can't take penalties like that ..... lazy stick penalties.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

That penalty against Ovie was as weak as the one he drew earlier in the period

 

[goalieman]

SHOOT the friggin puck on the PP.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

One thing that’s always drove me crazy about the Pens is their reluctance to shot. Always trying to make a pretty play...just smash the daggone puck to the net.

We got NO shots on that PP ..... hard to score if you don't shoot.

 

[goalieman]

That is what happens when you get it on net ..... Kessel, PP goal ... 2-2 ! Crosby may get credit for the goal.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

Hey Philly K! Even though it’s an assist

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Still a long way to go ....... anything can happen.​

If we win we win the series.

But Murray is the key

 

[goalieman]

two 2 on 1's for the Pens and Holtby makes both saves ..... still 2-2 ..... up and down the ice hockey.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

Hard work on the PP lead to the lead

 

[goalieman]

If we win we win the series.

But Murray is the key

In the playoffs, the goalies are always a key ...... how well or poorly they play can change quickly during the series ...... we definitely need to have Murray play well in the 3rd period tonight.

 

[goalieman]

This is anyones game after 2 periods but it is somewhat encouraging the way guys like Brassard, Kessel, and Sheary are playing tonight so far.

The have a noticeable hop in their step. I still think Philly K is injured.

Murray beaten twice through the 5 hole

Murray beaten twice through the 5 hole

He has to make that save

 

[goalieman]

Murray beaten twice through the 5 hole

What the heck was Letang doing on that play ..... he was on the wrong side of the ice.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

He goes brain dead 5 minutes a game

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

It's unreal watching these 2 netminders. Holtby looks calm and in control. Murray looks like he is fighting off just about every shot that is fairly difficult.

Yeah, he is having trouble controlling rebounds.

 

[FreeportPanther]

Pens shots are hitting Holtby's body, easy saves. No one crashing net. One and done. Washington getting better chances, Murray hanging on.
I don't have a good feeling about this one!
Pens threw the kitchen sink at Caps in first period, should have had 3 including a shorty. Missed opportunities and soft goals on the other end.

 

[FreeportPanther]

Murray stopping the tough ones, and letting the easy ones trickle in!

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

Murray overplayed that. On the other hand Holtby did what he had to do.

 

[rmf05]

Goaltending killed us. Damn that expansion draft!

 

[FreeportPanther]

There you go. Dumolin misses, Caps bury it on the other end.
Take a miracle now to pull this one out.

 

[goalieman]

How did Maatta miss that open net .......

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Holby way better than Murray.

That’s your series

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Yeah, he is having trouble controlling rebounds.

He’s been average at best in the playoffs

 

[pittbb80]

Letang has been hot garbage. Responsible for both goals.

Pens shooting accuracy has been terrible Matta misses a wide open net

 

[FreeportPanther]

Maata misses wide open net! Would have been the miracle, but it isn't our night. Now we need 2 in a row. With Wilson to contend with in game 7, if we make it that far.

 

[Dan1911]

Letang sucks. He is personall responsible for two goals tonight. Wow do I hate him.

I pray we find someone to take him this offseason.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

They had this game and gave it away and quite possible the series.

 

[FreeportPanther]

He’s been average at best in the playoffs

At best. Can't blame him for the empty netter, but can blame him for the rest.

Nice assist by Kessel on Oshe's empty netter.

 

[pittbb80]

Pens are just out of sync overall. Murray has been shakey, getting beat to pucks, poor passes, pucks bouncing off of sticks, shooting wide and into Holtby...

I wouldnt count them out because they do have the heart of a champion but I just dont think they have that edge this year.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

It’s over
Go lightning!

 

[goalieman]

It’s over
Go lightning!

It's not over until it's over ...... but we blew a good chance tonight.

 

[FreeportPanther]

Somebody had to be up 3-2 after this one, unfortunately it was the Red team. Back to the Burgh to try to even it up and force a game 7.
It's Murray or nothing, we live or die with him, and unfortunately he isn't on top of his game.
Lightning will beat whoever emerges from this series anyway.
Then everyone can root for Fleury in the finals. LOL

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

It's not over until it's over ...... but we blew a good chance tonight.

It’s over

It’s okay

 

[goalieman]

It’s over

Maybe, maybe not .....
