Let me ask ya'll this: Still feel confident about this teams chances? I sure as hell don't. But I'll still watch them and pull for them. But something drastic has to happen at season's end.

No way. Even IF they get past CBJ, they will get run through by either the Rangers or Flyers. I would just as soon not live the embarrassment.

Eastern Conference Finals... Pens vs. who?

Habs all the way

dey are the softest team next to the Pens


btw - I read somewhere that Letang and Scuderi were screaming at him to go get the puck, that's why Fleury left the net on the tieing goal

Bench them both and play Bortuzzo/Despres

And he would've gotten 1st star. Instead, his brain locked up for another retarded meltdown and he's the goat.

The problem is that he has worn the goat horns many times......and it seems to bother him less. He needs to be kicked to the curb pronto.

After watching Bylsma coach his allstar sqaud in the Olympics (Canada won GOLD!), I don't think that will happen. Dude has a plan and will stick with it, regardless.

The Pens are the Steelers of the NHL. Sometimes, they show brilliance, but in the end when it counts, more than not, they leave you scratching your head of what you just watched. I missed the whole game, but was checking the score on my phone. From what I've heard about the last two CBJ goals, I have no desire to see that debacle.

I wonder what the excuse is for letting in an easy shot from practically the blue line in OT?

The 2 biggest question marks of this team going into playoffs was Fluery and Letang because of past playoff history and both players are directly responsible for the two losses so far.

Wild are playing elevated hockey at the moment. Really taking it to Colorado who only got 12 shots on goal last night. Hoping they can go get a game there so they can clinch at home.

The biggest question mark is the coaching that lets a team give up 46 shots on defense to the weakest offensive team in the playoffs - oh right , we're just "getting to our game"

That's because the pens play defense like water flows through a sieve. They are puck followers. They don't take the body and they don't match up when someone comes in their area. You can see them chasing the puck like a cat chasing a feather in the wind. Pathetic really.

Like the US Men's hockey team vs Canada at the Sochi Olympics?

Isn't this the same coach that couldn't motivate team USA?

That got shutout 5-0 against Finland?

After Bylsma GUARANTEED a Bronze medal game win?

cue the quotes...

"We're not coming home with nothing,'' Bylsma said.

“They wanted it more than us. We got outworked, and that’s what happens.”

and you'd believe Madden?

I heard he went off on everyone associated with the Pens. Mario, Shero, DB, Fleury, Sid.

Said if Pens lose to Columbus and Shero and DB are not fired, he is done with them as a fan, and done talking about this team on his show.

he mentioned him possibly having a foot injury, that's all. I heard that too about Shero and DB, but he's been saying that about DB for awhile now. Nothing new. If anyone has a scoop on the Pens, it's usually him.
