Game 5 Pens vs. lame ass Rangers

It keeps happening because our pussy ass dmen don’t hit, they stick check when in their own zone thereby allowing the other team to bank pass to an open area for themselves or teammates. It’s a fucking joke. Soft. Ass. Defense.

 

That’s not his game. Trade him for that type.

 

Trouba and Schneider are that but there's no reason that Miller at his size can't add some more physicality and win more puck battles while still being what he is.

 

He had like 8 goals in that series.

 

He’s soft. If you can rewatch the first period, watch at around the 2 minute left mark. A Pens player is getting ready to take a big shot and instead of trying to help his goalie and block the shot, Miller lifts his leg completely out of the way, afraid to block it. That’s not hockey, and definitely not playoff hockey. You sacrifice yourself in a hockey game, especially playoffs.

 

I went to the game at the Cap Centre when they lost in OT, as i was starting college in Maryland.

 

I don't know why people are saying he's looked good during this series. Outside of the first game he's been average at best

 

At least Laf is getting a lot of icetime.

 

Yep Panarin gets slashed. Nothing called. Good job ref! If it was on crosby, automatic penalty.

 

Beeadman needed to drop to the ice into a fetal position holding his hand..

 

Yeah so refs are blowing pens again and the rangers will have to beat the refs as well.

 

So far this game is on the O not the D. Maybe 1 good chance so far, maybe. Kreider, Pan, Z, Strome are any of them alive? These guys are invisible. The D has been solid tonight. Maybe no surprise with Lindgren back and Nemeth not playing.

Lindgren, Trouba, Schneider are your physical pounding dmen - in theory. Fox and Miller are more of your middle/finesse dmen. That is a nice mix in need of another LD to make them complete.

 

Lindgren to the locker room...and Pittsburgh has a 2 on 1 and a fucking goal

 

How funny is that - Lindgren is hurt and out and boom 2 on 1 - no coincidence.

Time to make summer plans.

 

Kakko horrible on that 2 on 1

 

This team is as incomplete as we all said all year long. Shitty centers that can’t win a face off, dmen that are soft, lack of even strength scoring ability (which we talked about all season long but was dismissed by some on here), a PP which struggled late in the season (that was once again dismissed by some on here). This is embarrassing to watch. This team is still MANY players away from being a contender.

 

This. Can see why Gallant got shitcanned now. It’s like watching Torts’ system in the offensive zone and AV’s system in the defensive zone. Just free for all everywhere.
