OFFICIAL GDT: Game 4, Pens at Bruins 6/7/13: Do or Die

[luv66]

Fully committed to the Indian in spirit.

I'm all Bucs all the time until October. PSU football...meh.

Let's Go Bucs !

Fleury + for Yakupov?

lolololol not even EDM is that stupid. If Malkin decides to leave because maybe Shero is too stupid to fire DB... He goes to EDM. To see Malkin next to Eberle/Hall/Yakupov.... it'd be amazing.

[BurghersAndDogsSports]

the only common theme in the playoff failures that past few seasons every time Bylsma was outcoached by a monsterous grand canyon like margin. has no plan B. does the same **** over and over again

Don't disagree to a point but I still believe depleting the roster of real actual solid and fast role players and defense hurt. I don't have anything against those who say HCDB was out coached, I agree.

But our top end talent has masked huge holes in our lineup.

where the **** are the holes?


Kunitz - Crosby - Dupuis

Morrow/Bennett - Malkin - Neal/Iginla

Morrow/Bennett/Cooke - Sutter - Kennedy/Iginla

Vitale/Jokinen - Adams - Kennedy

Martin - Letang
Orpik - Niskanen
Murray - Bort/Engo/Despres

Vokoun
**** head Fluery

No holes. Except Niskanen blows.

Ummm, well 3 dmen who can't play defense, 2 who are decent at best, one who is a slow tree. No real speed threat on bottom 3 lines and no players on top 2 who crash net. No players on 3/4th lines who cycle and create.

The roster is full of holes masked by fans who can't see regular season stats mean squat. Our top end talent masks issues in reg season with superior stats. Coaching alone doesn't get you out classed 4 years in a row. Sorry.

[Sarcastic]

It's a good thing we have Vokoun for next season. Whoever said it during the game that we should stick with him and some kid rookie... hmm, anyone ready for that in WBS?

[lemieuxReturns]

I thought for sure the refs were going to make it up to us tonight for the blown hooking call on jagr... but nooooope!

I am thinking more like MAF to Calgary.

they made it up to us by keeping our embarrassing PP off the ice.

PENGUINS SUCK

You are drunk bro. Go to sleep, it'll hurt less in the morning.


Hey. Atleast it wasn't game 7.

I haven't drank a drop and I rarely do. This is all-natural!

lol, just checking

[SoCalPenguin]

I'd put Bennett with Crosby and Kunitz next season. Geno already has an elite winger he doesn't need a monopoly on the wing talent. Bennett will also give the top line some defensive presence. They can find a decent 3m wing for Malkin. I'd keep Letang if we can get him for,about 5.5 a year. I expect good growth from Despres. Martin is the best all around defender so he stays. I think Harrington will crack the lineup in the bottom pairing and will provide some steady play in his own zone. Before the playoffs I wanted to use the compliance buyout on Orpik but it has to be Flower now.

They have 5 goalies under contract and don't want to touch some Cloutier V2.0

Easy to get confused, I know. Especially when I have too much caffeine. Haha.

[farnham16]

I'd try to replenish some of the picks we traded this year by trading MAF. I bet Shero could snag a 2nd or 3rd for him.

[Sarcastic]

Any chance MAF gets better under a different coach or is he totally un-fixable... what do you guys think?

3rd.

I think he could be fixed. But I really don't think Shero is willing to give that a try.

[seabiscuit]

Bennett is really the only bright spot right now. And hopefully our new coaching staff.

[SolidSnake]

@JoshYohe_Trib 1m
Pascal Dupuis was probably the most upset man in the locker room. Mario Lemieux walked into the room and shook Dupuis' hand. Classy gesture.

[topshelf66]

Julien has been a class act in the presser.

I am pretty sure that we are not going to fire Bylsma.

Are we the only elite team that has to trade for veteran leadership every deadline? This is a legitimate question.

We are arrogant as a team and coaching staff. It is commented on by many including the unbiased.

The formula against us in the playoffs is just don't lose the game before the Penguins beat themselves.

[pens#1]

I'd keep Granato as head coach and find an assistant that can run the PP. either way I think Shero should be on thin ice, he didn't address the D and it showed again this year, hello yard work

Post game comments scare me. Players are being classy and professional but it still seems to me they think they just need to capitalize on chances and not run into a hot goalie. I mean I know it's the post game pressed and not to be taken on each word but I get the feeling they don't realize why they don't capitalize.

Need to earn these goals and where other team down.

We don't want to go with Hartzell or Thiessen as the backup. That's a recipe for Vokoun playing 65-70 games and having nothing left for the playoffs. What about Emery, perhaps, for $2 million? Or someone of that ilk. Unless someone in WBS is playing so well that his play demands a call-up.

Not sure Pens can afford those buyouts. A lot of money especially with Sid already being paid over his cap value.

[topshelf66]

Does not have much to do with the goalies as some think.

We did not make Rask sweat at all. Same as Halak.

What we need to not run into is a coach that can figure out our system. We either cannot adjust or are too arrogant to try.

[pens#1]

Is it time to look at Neal, guy is a regular season champ and a playoff dud...

[She'sTheFastest]

You guys really ought to stop bashing Crosby. I think he is overrated too BUT without him we don't have a team to complain about.
