Official GDT: Pens vs Panthers 1/26/24

[Maestro]

Start with White Harkins Acciari

The Sully trifecta.

[stonewizard51]

Got a loser point at least...which is nice

[DelPen]

This team has no **** clue on how to play OT. Another coaching deficiency.

[DelPen]

How and why are Acciari and Pettersson seeing the ice in OT?

[brwi]

FL got away with a blatant too many men right there

[IntangibleBeer]

I am glad they have at least one point, but I can’t imagine how painful it must be have season tickets to this team.

[largegarlic]

The Pens just always look slow and like they're chasing the game in OT.

[DelPen]

I don’t even know what this team does at practice. None of what we saw is what a well coached team should do on the ice.

[Maestro]

Wow, I never gave the Panthers a second thought just like 99.8% of everyone in Miami....

But I hate those whiners.

[DelPen]

No, this game is not a classic.

[E-Ramone]

I don’t even know what this team does at practice. None of what we saw is what a well coached team should do on the ice.

There’s the old adage, “you play like you practice.” So, yeah, it does make you wonder what a typical practice is like. Prob not very inspiring at least.

[IntangibleBeer]

It’s shame Bourque isn’t 25 years younger. He still has the compete level needed. It’s what made him a 2 time SC Champion.

[Maestro]

Poor

[FLPensFan]

Poulin scored his 2nd goal of the game tonight, GWG, for WBS to win 4-3.

[Dynasty1970]

Mike Sullivan is a SAGE! Because Rakell has scored so much this year! Let’s trot him out first!

[DelPen]

Weak attempts in the SO too.

[Dynasty1970]

Can we blow up this team now?

[brwi]

One point is great after all that because they sure weren't the better team tonight.

[DelPen]

Nothing about this game aside from Letang playing well and keeping his composure was good. Everyone else can play a lot better and it’s been the same story for the last 4 years under three different GM’s. Wonder what the problem is?

[brwi]

Mike Sullivan is a SAGE! Because Rakell has scored so much this year! Let’s trot him out first!

15 for 34 in SO's is excellent though. Won't lay that one on Sullivan even though Rakell looked dumfounded out there for some reason.

[DelPen]

Can we blow up this team now?

Need to start with the coaches first before it’s too late to salvage the season.

[BigMcK]

Wasn't it reported yesterday that GMKD had Penguins braintrust with him watching practice from above? The minor trade couldn't have required that many people to weigh in on a minor blip trade. Wonder if they were focusing in on the coaching staff???

[Zalapski33]

A game with Florida hitting 3-4 posts,the pathetic PP going 1-8 and they somehow got a Point out if it.
The OT performances from this team is nearly as bad as their PP.Never get the flow going in the Offensive Zone.
Ned kept them alive with big 3rd Period saves.He also was strong in OT.
Malkin got the tying goal which was a great effort from everyone on the ice but another rough night.Rust was real bad as well.And Karlsson was a Ghost.
Letang played with passion and intensity,He was the best player on the ice tonight for the Pens IMHO.

It felt like a regulation loss with the failed PP again destroying this game.Florida spent the entire game taking liberties with the Pens Players and knowing they could get away with it due to the PP being an absolute black hole.Once they put Puustinen out there it was a different unit in a good way.Sully waited until the 8th opportunity to go with that.There is no defense for his decision to not make the changes,adjustments or corrections to what will keep this team from making the playoffs.

[Antonio]

Honestly they had less than 0 business getting a point so...

For the first time in 35 years of watching this team, it feels like a chore. It's not even enjoyable most of the time anymore and I hate that. Half the players don't even look like they want to be on the ice, the management seems like it's in a crack induced fugue about the state of things, the coaching is well past a cruel joke at this stage. Numerous things that many fans saw clearly as mistakes but were ignored by the supposed experts who make a career and millions of dollars are showing how obvious of mistakes they were. It's an inbred country club for a few guys to collect their checks and do whatever they want.

[Maestro]

White and Harkins should not be in top 12 after all star break.
Puusti needs more ice time on PP and 5 on 5.

This should be obviously clear.
