Pens hockey 21-22

Pens are getting pushed off the puck. Christ man!
 
I'm good with getting out of there 1-1 but it's not over till the scoreboard reads 00:00
 
The Rangers strategy in this game was smart. They came out trying to hit the stretch pass over and over, trying to wear out the older Penguins. Starting in the 2nd, they gradually picked up the physical play. It worked. Between that and their speed, the Pens got nothing for them. Pens look tired and slow, the Rangers look much fresher.

Yep. It’s time to start getting young. I have a feeling FSG is going to overhaul this roster in the offseason if they lose this series
 
Sure wish we'd just throw the puck on net even if its not a high percentage shot...You never know, it might hit a skate and deflect in...

The Pens are constantly shooting from outside perimeter. They have chances to shoot point blank but continue to go for the pass.
 
They keep showing celebrities....No idea who the hell they are...

 
The Pens rolled over this game. Just sucks cause Sid’s line is doing all you can ask.

I hope PPG is good juju.
 
Surprised Igor didn't need to be medi-vac'd out.
 
Whelp. That sucked. Onto Pittsburgh
It was actually a pretty good game until the 3rd and we were our own worst enemy for most if not all of their scores but that also comes with fatigue and a combined age of 1032. Hey I feel pretty good about getting out of there 1-1. Much better than 0-2.
 
The Pens had enough chances. A handful, I couldn’t believe they didn’t finish. It’s all good. They’ve already won more games than I thought they would.

The combined age is what factored imo. It’s still a series. Just felt the bottom lines could’ve produced more.
 
Great play by 87.. of course
Jeff Carter looks spent snd like he needs to move on to his life’s work
Letang and Malkin struggling to find their legs tonite

Not having Dumo didn't help either. I was afraid after that marathon game the other night it would catch up to them. The were pretty bad in some back to back games this season and that was pretty much 2 games in 1 night. Way too many injuries for this team to overcome IMO.
 
Some of yinz are missing the current “small” picture now that two games are in the books..

Think about it..
We are coming out of New York at 1-1
This means we flipped the deal and now have home ice advantage.
against a team that really owned us this season and with playing a good part of the overtime periods and yesterday with a third string goalie! And that’s being overly complimentary to Louie..
In addition, most of you said we would get spanked at the garden and come back home with our tails between our legs!
We are confident and playing smart hockey.

If we can get one of our goalies back and possibly Rakell, if he still doesn’t think he is Batman.. .. we will take these guys!

Book it

I think they blew it when they couldnt convert at the beginning of the second. Matheson had a nightmare game scoring an own goal then getting abused to give up another. Cant complain too much because we are down to our 3rd goalie.
