2017/18 Regular Season Game Thread

Honestly, I like Jarry more than Murray. Murray is great but, to my eyes, it looks unsustainable...something about his play irks me. Jarry is as smoot, calm cool and collected as they come. He was initiating and pushing back on Calgaries contact in the crease. Loved it

My God...get rid of Letang. He's freaking awful

 

[scoutyjones2]

Lordy...Letang needs to quit. He's putrid.

Unfortunately with all the injuries on their blue line, the Pens can't afford to lose or trade Letang right now. Unless they get a top pair defensemen in return but I don't think anyone will give up a top pair D for Letang right now.

I believe Letang leads the league in negative +/- as well as turnovers

The Pens are stuck with him this year unless that improves or they sell low.

I know...it's my annual rant of anti-Letang. I've never been a fan and have wanted him gone for years.

I expect him to be injured in the next week or two

That soon? I think he lasts until early next year at least. NOT that I'm wishing an injury on anyone!

You must not have seen him doubled over during the Vancouver game...thought he'd go down and out then.

And I never wish an injury on a player. That's just wrong. But he can't stay healthy

I didn't see it live but read about it afterward on the Pen's website. The website made it sound like it wasn't bad but yeah he can't stay healthy.

Good win over a tired Coyotes team last night playing the back end of a back-to back. we know that feeling all too well.

The Pens played a tribute vid for former Pens player and coach Rick Tocchet last night. It was Tocchet's first game back in Pittsburgh since being named head coach of the Coyotes. Time and time again the Pens prove that the whole organization is nothing but a class act!!!

 

[scoutyjones2]

This team needs to check itself...no passion or hunger. Can't sleep walk thru games or a season. Crosby isn't doing squat.

And please Lord, bench Letang

 

[scoutyjones2]

Skid Crosby continues to be not found on the score sheet. We know what fixes a flailing Pens team...Coaching change!

I'm not sure that would work this season. Maybe next year though.

Good win over Ottawa last night.

People magazine named Phil Kessel the Sexist Man Alive.



I didn't know People was still around???

 

[scoutyjones2]

2 game win streak!!!!

 

[scoutyjones2]

And they play without urgency or passion... Chicago takes it.
Letang sucks ass and Crosby needs to take control. Enough with the fancy pass attempts and attack the net and shoot the freaking puck! Skid isn't earning his paycheck

I only caught the tail end of the game where they were pushing to tie it up before the end of regulation. In the recap they said the Pens liked like crap in the 1st period and the Black Hawks were in complete control of the first period. Murray kept this game close or it would've been another blow out.
