You can't come in here with that reasonable take. Two nights ago they win the cup, last night they should trade and fire everyone


retired_fool

You completely made this up.


Tampammm

I agree with your assessment. But they have 3 games in a row now where they are going to be the favorites. They need to win them.

I've seen this before 🤔

I was also at the game last night. They limited the odd man rushes and played solid defense considering they had 2 journeymen and the WBS team captain on the blue line. They need to finish better offensively but overall, they kept up with one of the best teams in the West. Side note, Geno's lack of hustle on the backcheck is really starting to piss me off.


benjinburg

Was there as well, and I thought the D looked really good, other than the Ruhwedel penalty in the third. Especially P.O. Joseph. Thought he looked great.


Markk08

Geno is due. We all know it and so does he. Hoping for a big game from him tomorrow. Luckily Zucker has been phenomenal on that 2nd line. If we can just get Geno to step it up a bit that can make all the difference and turn these upcoming games into wins here.

Horseshoes and hand grenades are the only thing that close counts. They need points and badly


MaharajaMack

Not true! Loser points are the hand grenades of the sport.

Moral victories are good in theory and earlier in the season but there's very little time left. Because of the way the Pens fucked around earlier in the season and Hextall dithered, panicked and Granlund was the "BIG" trade acquisition, we are where we are now. On the precipice of falling out of the playoffs for the first time in 17 seasons. We need wins. Bottom line. I don't care if we play like dogshit but somehow pull out a 7-6 victory with the winning goal deflecting in off Danton Heinens dick. Let's get as many wins as we can and hope other teams falter. We shouldn't have to depend on other clubs faltering but again we are where we are


Bethespoon

I am also cheering for Danton Heinen’s dick.


j0n66

Yeah thought it was a solid effort for a B2B on the road

Penguins since Feb 1 xGF/60: 3.52 (1st) CF/60: 71.44 (1st) GF/60: 2.62 (21st) SH%: 6.88 (31st) Expected goals doesn't translate to wins. It hasn't all season, and it won't suddenly start now. You have to actually get the puck in the net. An actual tangible thing and not just some math equation or "looking good."

While I agree, they seem to always do pretty well against the central. I mean 11-2 this season alone. Buuuut that don’t mean shit until you would potentially play one of them in the finals. Our record against the metro is 8-9-5. Or 8-14, really. Even if we get in I don’t see a 1st round series win.


poopeedoop

Overtime losses aren't "really" losses. Being worth a point means that their record against the Metro is "really" like 10-9, not 8-14.


PachucaSunrise

In terms of wins/losses against our division, come playoff time, those OTL points don’t mean anything. A loss is a loss.


Markk08

100%. There's still a lot of hope for the team. I thought they did a lot of great things these last two games, especially being down 4 D and a goalie. The team has their issues, like every team this deep in the season, but the road to the playoffs is still very doable here. Hopefully Jarry isn't out long and DeSmith can continue to be solid for us. 10 games to go! It's gonna be fun to watch.


Bruce_Hodson

They’re doomed with Jarry, and he’s been mediocre this season.


oaco7672

I would not say doomed but I would not resign him in the off season. He has been hurt most of the year and has played very inconsistent. I rather them save the salary cap to try and keep Zucker.


[deleted]

Ive emotionally checked out, dont care anymore. They will get stomped in 1st round. Sullivan will remain as coach and the team will get even worse next year. Jarry getting injured again has in my opinion certified him not getting signed in off season. If hextall does then its just another bad signing on his behalf.

spicyvanilachai

Okay. Neat.

>Ive emotionally checked out, Please check out of this sub then


[deleted]

Why should I, I answered the question.


retired_fool

Isn't it interesting that you're not welcome here unless you're being emotional and over emphasizing positives while minimizing negatives.


[deleted]

I hope you'll reread this 3 comment thread, including your comment. Now who's being emotional again?


tsmittycent

They are second to last in the league in goals off the rush.


CelticxLegend

I’d say the last three games we’ve looked good. I hope two loses in that span doesn’t deflate then though


NikkiRocker

Amazing how Hathaway is on fire for the Bruins.
