Penguins 22-23

[JMM]

When you are the better team most of the time you won't, or should I say don't have to. The Pens can't get a team on their heels and keep them there anymore. That is when you get the hooking, tripping and interference calls. They have flashes and spirts here and there, but it's never enough.

Jarry had to make some great saves tonight or it would have been a laugher.

Mario would like to disagree.

 

[steel dino]

Was hoping for a split in the Big Apple----still am..
I would start Jarry again.,

 

[Steelr4evr]

Well got Jarry this evening. National TV game, down 1-0 9:45 period 1. I'd like a big win or at least all out effort for 3 periods.

 

[MTC]

I don’t think Sullivan has lost the team.
This roster just isn’t good.

I do think they’re a first round playoff team again.
They need to get rid of Carter in the offseason

 

[str8liner]

Annnnd "Mr. Penalty" puts them down 2-0.....

Seriously starting to think this team won't make the playoffs.

They’ll make it. But don’t expect them to advance past the 1st round.

 

[Steelr4evr]

Just not a good team. Oh well. Hopefully they don't stink it up too much this evening.

 

[MTC]

I like that Nylander, O’Conner line.
They’re generating pressure. The Pens for the most part have had good chances.

Jarry is just not it.

Carter was the one gliding around watching Zebanajad score that first goal.

Yeah. The guy doesn’t age like Jagr.
Carter needs to retire. He’s a liability on the ice.

 

[Steelr4evr]

Now 3-0 and a powerplay that sucks...and 4-0

 

[str8liner]

LOL off to watch PSU..... A real team that has a chance of winning tonight.

 

[Steelr4evr]

and 5-0

 

[MTC]

Lol. This team is awful. When they give up. They absolutely give up

 

[Steelr4evr]

Lol. This team is awful. When they give up. They absolutely give up

It's embarrassing.

 

[MTC]

It's embarrassing.

Meh. They’ll survive

 

[Steelr4evr]

Meh. They’ll survive

I don't think they'll shut down the team or move it,but right now they suck and this is really embarrassing hockey.

 

[Steelr4evr]

And 6-0 Bad News Bears this evening.

 

[MTC]

I don't think they'll shut down the team or move it,but right now they suck and this is really embarrassing hockey.

The absentee owners have thrown money to keep the Pens in Pittsburgh.

I’m not up in arms with a bad season nor an embarrassing game. What is there to be embarrassed about? We don’t play for them. These guys on the roster have to feel the pressure of the local media.

Sid’s era has accomplished a lot. This was expected as the group aged. I ain’t stressing.

Not much I can do here to impact the game anyways lol. Just sit back and enjoy if you like watching. If the game is hard to watch. Just turn it off, enjoy the weekend.

 

[MTC]

I’ll go down with the ship tonight lol.
I think the ranger’s may win the cup with Tarasenko and Kane. I have a feeling Boston is gonna choke in the post season.


Imagine a possible playoff season without Sid or Ovechkin. Those guys carried the league for a long time

I'm a fan I'll ***** all I want and as a fan it's an embarrassing display of hockey.

How about you do you and I'll do me...lol

 

[MTC]

How about you do you and I'll do me...lol

Lol. That’s pretty much what I implied in my last sentence

 

[MTC]

Damn. Young Sid would’ve had that.
Aging stars lol

 

[str8liner]

MTC they haven't made it past the 1st round for 4 years. Not likely to this year either.....With all the talent they have had that is unacceptable IMO.

I am glad you can take a 6-0 *** whooping by the Rangers like that. But I can't.

I don’t play for the Penguins. Getting mad for something out of my control serves me no emotional rile up.

I like sports. But life goes on whether these guys win or lose. Add in these guys make a nice salary regardless of score.

I like when they win out of novelty. But life is always going to have other ups and downs that are of higher priority for me.


If the Pens help you and give you meaning. Be fanatical. I wish more people like you filled PPG paints arena. Maybe that energy would help the team.

I’m not telling anyone how to be fan. I’m just explaining why a pro sports business club just doesn’t sting me anymore when they lose.


The Pens have been pretty bad since 2019. They’ve lost an identity. It’s very similar to the Mike Johnston era. I think they’re a first round team again. That’s it. I don’t have expectations when Carter and Dumoulin are constantly getting ice time.
