    I still think we’re the better team but they have to win it on the ice. The pens are not going to lay down for them

    Hilarious that they suck so bad against this team. I don’t see them winning another game. They have to get better defensemen these guys suck

    Agree 100%. We have the better team, but we need to play complete games, and capitalize on our chances. They have been, we have not. How we are down 2-1 despite being the better team.

    Tonight was a no show 1st, soft goals by our goalies, and an inept PP that did us in.

    The Pens have a few stars, and a lot of playoff experience, and that is winning the day for them against our inconsistent and inexperienced young team. And Z has been poor thus far.

    From the start Shesterkin wasn't sharp and the Penguins got every bounce of the puck to go their way. They then allowed Pittsburgh to gain momentum from their penalty kill and settle themselves.

    I said they are a year away. Losing Goodrow, Blais and Motte is too much. You need those guys in the playoffs

    I say we win game 4 - I truly believe that. Season on line again, we'll see if they show.

    Well said chuck. And gallant with his moves was just as bad. Needs to shorten the bench late in a tie game, limit nemeth and brains time out there and again with a minute and a half left how is Braun on the friggin ice!

    I think the rangers are winning despite gallant as he does a lot of head scratching things during the games.

    Goodrow really hurts. Dude’s been on winning teams and is made for the playoffs.

    Goodrow is a loss, but they are down 2 goalies, their top defensive dman, their trade DL scoring acquisition. Both teams have injuries. Hasn't stopped us from outplaying them for long stretches. We need Z to step up. Strome hasn't done much. And we need to play a more complete game.

    If anything is the differing factor in this series through 3 games I think it is their playoff experience, and Crosby. I think that is what is doing it. We miss chances, miss the net, don't shoot, play an inconsistent game. They have capitalized on a lot more of their chances and I think some of it has to do with experience, and their star stepping up.

    Bottom line is while it's not all his fault Shesterkin was very poor in this game. Wasn't himself from the start and looked like what you would expect from the goalie on the other end.

    If Gallant is going to screw Kakko and Lafreniere over, he better win. Last game Lafrieniere got the least amount of ice time of anyone, and yes, even less than Reaves and Rooney, but we won so you live with it. When we lose, though, it looks terrible to play scrubs over your top 2 picks.

    They miss the net on far too many good chances.

    All you can do is put this one in the rear view. We did show something by fighting back. And hopefully Igor is ready for game 4 and not shaken. And we play a more complete game. We win game 4 and we are in a great spot. So it's all in front of us still.

    No clue what this tired ice time conversation has to do with tonight's game. They had a putrid start and found themselves down 4-1.
