Pens hockey 21-22

Penguins PP 0-3 so that cluster F of a PP at the start when it was 5-3 came back to bite us. I'm usually an optimist but I think we are done.
For this evening since the clock ran out. They're going to wrap this up next game.
 
Or you follow along. These are 2 scenarios.


1. Adjust/practice strategize without Sid and try to make a response friday

Or

2. They don’t have what it takes to replace Sid and count them out.


You’re buzzed :ROFLMAO:
Nowhere did I take a stance on either of those post. I’m talking scenarios.

*sigh* Grandpa


#2,341 Naw. Pens need to get a feel without Crosby. They’ll put it away at home
#2,342 It has changed the dynamics of this game. If they don’t adjust because replacing Sid is no easy task, count the Pens out.

You should run for a seat in Congress. Your multifacetness is beyond compare.

Good job!!!!

I’ll give them a chance if Malkin can settle down. He’s kinda the key in play right now. Sid out has changed the dynamics of Guentzel and Rust’ play. Malkin is prone to mental collapses.

Another thing is Kapanen cannot score worth a damn. The promising thing is Igor gives up rebounds, lots of them at that. Kapanen has to find the touch because he has that speed to crash the net

I wouldn't put this one on him. He made some great plays to disrupt the Rangers and made some great passes. Looking at his play as more of a guy who can set up a play rather than driving it home.
 
Pens dominated the face offs tonight. There’s a lot of possibilities in setting up plays on face off. This series has really opened up a lot of what ifs tonight. Worst is a game 7. Glad the Pens showed pride in playing the game this year and didn’t look lackluster like years prior. As a fan I’ve been surprised

Beats working on the floor at Amazon. You have a degree, why not go for it? Not taking your chances when you are young, just makes you a poor old ****.

I’m actually interviewing for a potential strength and conditioning gig with a nearby high school. I can get my foot in the door with UNM but they want unpaid intern.


Amazon is easy work itself actually. I make decent money. Just a lot of hours

Good deal...I want to see you move on with your life's work with what is your passion and from what I have seen you should be in either strength training, or maybe better yet physical therapy. Those PT/OT jobs usually pay really well and you can get a job wherever you want to live. Also F Amazon..

I will. Amazon is just something to keep me busy and have something on my resume. The covid lockdowns in 2020 really messed up some plans.

But I do have opportunities available coming up in the summer

Good deal...Don't waste any time. There is a time warp between 25 and 55. Go ahead and think I'm nuts but you'll be where I am in no time.

Well as long as I grow up enjoying life like you. I’ll be just fine.


Keep doing what you’re doing

So getting back to Pens Hockey....Sorry for taking us off track...Sorry,,I'm an old fool... but when was the last time Sid missed a game due to concussion protocol?

I did not want to say it at the time, but I knew we had this game about midway though this game. They were fn dead... ****!!!!!

 
 
******* the cheap shot, loser Rangers. The Pens were controlling the play, as the Rangers were skating in circles down 2-0. They were dead in the water until they went after Sid's head again. :30 seconds into the game they were called for the same elbow on Jake. That's not hard-nosed hockey, it's a BS strategy to hurt players and the Rangers are happy with this win? I'd be embarrassed as a Ranger and fan. Those shitbags did it to Mario with Adam Graves and now Sid. GARBAGE LEAGUE.
 
All I’m gonna say is this: Crosby went out with about 6 minutes to go in the 2nd. All 5 Rangers goals came after that. If Sid doesn’t return, there’s a good chance the Pens are done.
It's different when an injury like that occurs in-game. Sid goes out, it filters down throughout the entire 4 lines. Guys have to adjust to others they haven't been playing (or practicing) with for most of the series. If Crosby's out for game 6, Sullivan will at least have a day+ to make adjustments and put together the best line combinations. Plus Rickell might be ready to return.

Can't give up on the Pens just yet, myself.

I’m wanting to see how Sullivan adjust with some time as well.

I thought the Pens were in control for most of the game until Sid’s injury. The talent is enough to get it done. So I’m optimistic in the team’s ability to strategize. If they lose Friday night, I’ll count them out. In the mean time this next game should tell the Pens direction as a franchise. FSG ownership, CEO David Morehouse leaving. I think this game will have big implications on the hockey ops.

******* a right,TSC.,..It is a garbage league. No way in hell we were going to leave NYC with a win. This is the most watched series and the NHL will get more bucks if this game goes 6 or better yet 7. We're ******.... Who is going to bring more viewers? PGH or NYR?

I like your optimism, but we're ******.

Well the nhl does favor their original 6 a lot. This was the very reason why they signed Reaves in 2017. As much as it is bush league trash, you still need to have guys on the roster to have a response to it.
 


Ya gotta be all done fakin kid....It's worth the wait..

They might manage to still win the series, but where are they going after that? Not contending for the Cup that is for sure. Sorry but getting past the first round isn't any consolation for us spoiled Pens fans. Geno can be great when he has to be, but he can't do half the things Sid was doing with Jake and Rust. Those guys are almost hard wired into each other. Can't plug in Malkin and expect the same production in a game or 2.... Just like the Steelers, like I have said many times before its always something.

I just get sick of the same **** different year with it all...
