Penguins 23-24

0-3
 
Jarry is out..Magnus is in
 
This is a super odd game. We are actually playing good puck. Jarry not so much.

Magnus. It's Latin for "Great". He's huge, so . . . .

Hellfire seems to have stabilized the ship

Too bad we don't have a consistent goalie. You never know what to expect from night to night
 
I can only guess that they looked into it in the off season, but we need results in this issue. Our net has been an issue for about four seasons.
 
Ah hell..4-1,,,,5-1
 
Yeah, this is sucky.

I have a feeling Sully might be gone soon

Well, he’s running a system that the majority of his players simply do not fit. On top of that their 4 best players are dinosaurs by NHL standards and once again the contributions from the bottom six are non-existent. Goaltending is abysmal most of the time. They do not have a recipe for success at the moment. They either need different players or different coaches running a different system. There is enough talent on the roster.

And once again a goalie looks like the Vezina favorite.

It's just so frustrating to watch because we all knew they were done after they couldn't score and the Sens went up 2-0.

This whole deal is just so stale at this point. Its like setting though another Steelers not losing season.

Dubas seems to be a pretty no nonsense guy. It'll be interesting to see how much leash he gives Sully. Granted there's a lot of new faces but we're seeing the same inconsistency that we've seen for years. The common theme is the core players and Sully. Sid and co are not going anywhere.

I hope he can find a way to right the ship, but I don't see it happening.

They need to play a more cycle type of system rather than speed. The talent is there but the system does them no favors. Their strength is puck possession and passing. If Sully were to stop being stubborn and strategize more to a cycle type of approach. Sure it’s boring north & south. But it would lessen the guys giving up odd man break aways and give the star guys and even the bottom lines a rhythm to be im

Never been a fan of his and was hoping they'd go a different direction in net. I don't think they have a chance with him. Sure, he looks great at times but when he doesn't, they are done and that seems to happen in the playoffs much too often. They are stuck with him now unless they trade him or put an impenetrable D-wall in front of him.

Guessing that was the plan with the addition of Karlsson and Graves but I haven't seen much improvement on D. Looks pretty much the same from the past few years.
 
I agree on the cycle. During PP we are statues.

Agree on Jarry. I haven't heard anything, but it would seem obvious that they looked. I guess they saw nothing.

They move a lot better when they are playing along the boards and passing. It’s not like they shoot anyways. It would benefit them greatly rather than keeping on trying to forecheck aggressively and trying to get the defense involved. The way they play now leaves no margin for error. When everyone is on the same page they look great but because they have an offensive oriented defense one small hiccup leaves them open for an opposing breakaway.


Sure Jarry could play better but it’s the team in front of him that should receive the blame as well

I am pretty sure that getting improved defensive players was the fall back for not getting a marque net minder.
 
One day they're shutting out the Avs, the next day they get pasted.
 
what do you guys think of this? Poor guy bled out.

 
Really sad. Clearly a fluke. Hard to make any rules about, but easy to be saddened over.

Upon further review, it does look like the guy in red karate kicked him.
