Why the gently caress is the camera in the Coliseum on the loving left blue line instead of the red line?

Despres getting out of position to fan on a huge hit and lose position on his man with the puck.

Who the gently caress started playing shipboston.mid during that fight between Downie and Hamonic? Was it Root or was it Nassau? because I could not stop loving laughing.

I love when officials call hooking when you can visibly see the player grab the stick and put it under their arm and clamp down. That probably should be a focus of embellishment calls.

I mean it doesn't excuse Maatta for having his stick that high, but it was nowhere near his core until he pulled it there.

I hope Bennett comes back for the next period, it's really gonna suck rear end if he's out.

it's kind of crazy that he's made of glass wrapped in tissue paper and plays as physically as he does though. I wonder if he could be out less often if he played more conservatively?

Probably :/ He throws himself around for no reason sometimes.

How do you even that after 1) giving a very soft call last period and 2) after literally the entire Islanders team on the ice jumped Despres?

Ehrhoff has been quietly really good defensively and everyone making GBS threads on him is missing just how good he's been in our zone (and in getting out of our zone). I hope we can keep him past this season. Martin too, he's been money for us after that one really bad year.

Man its really showing how important Dupis is to that first line, Blake isn't doing anything, hell I'll take Megna over him

He's looked alright. I mean we got him for our 3rd line, not our 1st. I can't blame him for not doing too much. It just sucks.

i guess i haven't looked at his fancy stats since the beginning of the year when they were awful, but IMO he's looked like a worse paul martin. just doesn't seem to drive plays like martin can. but yeah, i'm not saying i don't expect him to keep getting better or that i wouldn't want to keep him, it's just not the season i think anyone was expecting from him

I've heard his fancy stats have gotten a lot better and he seems to be getting used as sort of a shut-down defenseman, paired with Maatta most of the time. they seem to be getting fairly tough assignments and dzone starts, but I couldn't tell you for sure becaues I havent' seen those fancy stats.

we look like we're not taking enough time to find passes. Just flinging the puck towards other penguins and it's not connecting as well as it should.

Penguins need to make better passes. In the neutral zone and especially the offensive zone.

Trying to figure out how it is that the Islanders have not taken one penalty in five periods now. This reffing is some serious bullshit. Make a loving call.

They haven't been calling poo poo. two calls in 5 periods against the pens. I don't think it's as much bullshit as it is even non-calling.

I almost never say this but the Penguins may want to think about getting more pucks on net in the offensive zone.

Lol Malkin puts a dude on his rear end with one arm and draws a penalty with it.

It was the same kind of call as the one on Maatta: Malkin drew it, but the defenseman shouldn't have had his free hand around his shoulder.

The sad thing is when he's actually playing, he's good. He just does so much dumb poo poo that his play gets lost in it.

I'm pretty sure one of us made this exact same post 3 years ago but it was about Matt Cooke.

At least Downie hasn't ended anyone's career. He doesn't do the same kind of dumb poo poo Cooke did. Cooke was outright dangerous, Downie is (mostly) just lovely.
