OFFICIAL GDT: PENS VS ISLANDERS (12/3/13)

[Sarcastic]

letang really stunk it up on that first goal (replay)

[neophool]

should have traded for Okposo! we'd be up 2-0! flawlesss logic.

[GDR]

Why are we always a feces covered dumpster fire vs the Isles?

It seems like the Pens seem to take them lightly and the fact the Isles game turns up 10000000000X times fold everytime they play the pens like their lives are on the line

bingo

Isles are a bad matchup for the Pens.

No they're not. If the Penguins play like the Penguins they'll have no problem. Unfortunately Letang forgets he's a defenseman and Fleury craps himself.

*edit* Maybe they ARE playing like the Penguins.

Umm, yes, they are. There is a reason almost every game against them is close. The Isles speed and forecheck cause tons of issues with the Pens. And the Pens turn the puck over a lot to begin with, but against the Isles its even worse.

Is Evgeni rebelling with having the flap out , but shirt "tucked?"

Letang is a big bag of suck tonight. I am a huge Letang fan, but so far this season his head is either in the clouds or up his ***

[GDR]

Letang looks more dumpster firey out there than usual tonight

[ExPatriatePen]

I wish we wouldn't play so horribly against this team.

[IntangibleBeer]

I really get tired of the Pens making these slugs look good.
Letang is playing like an idiot.

They are all slow to the puck and can't get out their zone.

[GDR]

Kunitz is the Isles best player so far tonight

[BurghThing]

Do we have officials at this game?

If thats the case then there is serious issues because you would think the Pens would be over that after the playoffs last season and the fact that every game against the isles is close

Isles are a bad matchup for the Pens.

Flower whiffing on that shot has nothing to do with any of that garbage.

Stupid decisions lead to the first goal

I blame Kunitz 100% for the first goal.
I actually like the backcheck from Sid and Letang's hustle to get back into the play, but they together forced the puck, Tavares and themselves into Fleury.

Second goal seemed like a double screen, Brooks squaring with the shooter then the Engelland/Islander sliding by in front.

[Fire0nice228]

Despres on the ice against the Tavares line.....so good.

[Gaucho]

Pretty lousy period. But maybe we'll get a break here and make it 2-1.

[pens2005]

It's ok. Engelland will calm things down.

Hahahahaha, Bylsma's love of Engelland is super ridiculous.

[GDR]

double turkey on the table

[SolidSnake]

And of course Nilsson will be the best goalie in the NHL tonight

[BurghThing]

double turkey on the table

Looks like they had enough turkey lately.

[pens2005]

That's all they ever do on a 5 on 3. Set up for a Geno one timer.

Great coaching.

[GDR]

Made that 30th ranked penalty kill look competent

[Gaucho]

That's all they ever do on a 5 on 3. Set up for a Geno one timer.

Great coaching.

Because that never works.
