Official GDT: Pens @ Ducks 1/23/25

[penscup]

Another PP. Thanks Dumoulin. Bad call by refs.

[DelPen]

Oh **** off Gibson

And again, **** off Gibson.

[DelPen]

Another bad goal misplayed by Ned.

[penscup]

and they bury an identical chance at the other end. Killer.

[DelPen]

This is going to be the funniest road trip where we go 1-4 beating the only team that doesn’t suck.

[Zalapski33]

Bad bounce and Anaheim takes advantage to go up by 2.
The Pens have had so many chances in this game and have done the opposite.

[DelPen]

Oh, Sully has glasses on, time to get serious.

[DelPen]

Where the **** was any penalty there by POJ or Tomasino?

[Zalapski33]

The Officials can't tell the difference between a 5 and a 7.
These are the guys in charge of this game.SMH.

[DelPen]

Rust out with a LBI and not returning. Awesome.

Well there is also something else very obvious that you can tell POJ and Tomasino apart

I wouldn't trust these Officials to be able to recognize that.

[Zalapski33]

Rust out with a LBI and not returning. Awesome.

No doubt Sullivan will make sure to focus on that Post Game.

[DelPen]

Yup, still hate Vatrano.

[Zalapski33]

Another Defensive Coverage Bust.Gryz pinches,no one gets on the Back Check and that puts it away.

[DelPen]

Twice Hayes passes in front of the net instead of shooting.

[Zalapski33]

Hayes figures taking a Half Speed Wrist Shot from the Blue Line is a bigger threat than a wide open shot from in front??

[penscup]

Just a poor effort tonight. Not enough energy in a game they needed at least 1 point from. Nobody seems to care. Start a fight with someone or something. Run the goalie.

[DelPen]

Bourque becoming a schill for the organization is sad to see.

[DelPen]

Good job defending an empty net for well over 2 minutes and then the refs lose control of a dirty hit by the butt hurt Ducks because they were forced to hit a post by a great backcheck by Rakell.

[DelPen]

This one ref **** sucks. Gauthier went down on his own. Same tool that didn’t call the assault before the crap around the 2:00 mark.

[Zalapski33]

Another ugly loss to an awful team that had been on a losing streak.After beating a Good Team.This is what the Top 2-3 Coach gets them.
Way too many Defensive Breakdowns.Poor decisions,effort and lack of determination.
3 very stoppable Goals allowed by Ned.Not a good game from him.
So many guys passing up shots to try to make low percentage passes.
3rd Period looked like there were a lot of passengers cruising around out on the Ice.

[Zalapski33]

This one ref **** sucks. Gauthier went down on his own. Same tool that didn’t call the assault before the crap around the 2:00 mark.

Or the Boarding Penalty by Killorn on POJ early in the 1st Period.

Normal first stop: JT Scmid's right across the street --- Closed, out of business since 12/23. Not good. Only place within walking distance to The Pond, with paid parking.

The blend of Penguins vs Ducks jerseys were 50 / 50. The blend of Penguins jerseys were 50% Crosby, and a mix of Lemieux, Jagr, Malkin, Letang, a few Robitallie, Fleury (blue), and Rakell (both teams).

Not a sellout. Glass seats were $450 - $500. Penguins fans showed well in the lower bowl with jersey support.

Game play started slow. Against the Kings, the Penguins were slow, but had a gameplan. Against the Ducks, they were sloppy with no cohesive plan. The ducks were 100% more physical away from the puck. From what I saw, everytime Gudas stepped onto the ice, the Penguins were more concerned about the Boogie man, than keeping their head on the game.. Jeez, we had such a player on our roster, but **** Sullivan didn't respect what happens when you need your opponent to be fearful.

POJ is useless. Too small to move a player away from the goalie.

I remember a time when Al Iafrate shot a puck, you moved out of fear, directed it towards the net, or absorbed the puck and lost a testicle. At the end of the game, EK was shooting and no one moved away from his blast. Trade him.

For his size, DOC did not impress me. He is weak in the corners. He is tall, but not strong. He is young and needs to add muscle to play a tall man's game. Otherwise, he is 5.10 and useless. Does he ever drop the gloves to defend himself? Trade him.

Malkin is not playing passionate hockey. My buddy asked what inspires him to lace up the skates? Is he motivated by anything? His supposed ring theft hoax was discussed. No emotion once they were found in his house, came into play

Three years ago, I was 100% in on MP. Tonight, I am not a fan. He is sloppy with puck movement, can't make a breakout pass, and always skates away to get his nose dirty to stand up for a teammate. Bench him. Trade him. He clearly has no desire to wear a Penguins jersey! Gone! MF'er, you suck.

As I said before, trade Ned. He deserves better. I had hoped to see Blomgvist in person.

This team is not a playoff team.

Fire Sully.

As a disclaimer, my seats were gifted from a guy that I played hockey with, and his family owns a joint suite at The Pond. Low friends with money, I guess.

[KG]

This team has been the exact same for 3+ years. Win 1 look good, lose 1, fall back to old bad habits.

Most of the roster has been overturned, yet the team still looks and smells and quacks like a Duck!

Hello...it's the system! The coach is a poor fit for the roster and he refuses to change systems.
