Game 2: Few Signs this series will change
Some say a series doesn’t begin until the home team loses.
That’s about the only thing the Columbus Blue Jackets have going for them into Game 3.
Pittsburgh’s 4-1 win in Game 2 had to be a demoralizing loss for the Blue Jackets.
The Blue Jackets did a lot of things they wanted to do and still came out with just one goal.
“I thought we did a lot of the things we wanted to do,” Columbus coach John Tortorella said. “I’m proud of our club. The way they’ve handled themselves. The way they’ve done all the things we’re asking them to do.”
Columbus put 40 shots on goal, won the possession game again (60-48, 5v5), were +5 in scoring chances, and an improvement from Game 1, Columbus in the first half of game 2 were able to attack off the rush through the neutral zone with multiple 3-on-3 down the ice rushes, sometimes 3-on-2 rushes with a Penguin backchecker closing in.
95% of the time, though, they would have come away with nothing or a low percentage shot. Beating the Penguins you have to be able to make a skilled play off the rush and get them out of their structure by having their defenders/back checkers move side to side and Columbus just doesn’t have the ability to do it.
Leaky Goals/Bad Bounces?
The Blue Jackets are a team that scores a lot of goals 10-15 feet from the net and rely on scoring leaky goals. Last post-season there’s a reason the only team to take the Penguins to seven games was the Tampa Bay Lightning who could match their skill. Tampa had that skill dimension when being out played by the Penguins to change momentum out of the blue.
Scott Hartnell’s scouting report on Marc Andre Fleury hasn’t played out through two games, where Hartnell says Fleury stops the hard shots but lets in the soft goals. A problem for Columbus, Fleury is not giving up leaky goals as he has stopped 70 of 72 shots.
For a club that’s now lost seven of their last nine games and that’s struggling to score goals over the last couple weeks, losing in the manner they did in Game 2 where they still can’t find the back of the net just adds to the pressure that will be on the Blue Jackets in Game 3, especially in the first period where they will pretty much be fighting for their playoff lives.
If Game 2 would have been a 5-4 or even 4-3 loss for the Blue Jackets, I think there would be a different feel in that Blue Jackets room right now.
Marc Andre Fleury was really good again but what can demoralizing to an underdog team like the Blue Jackets are those plays that should be goals that Columbus just hasn’t been able to put in the net.
A few instances, one in the second period, a scramble in front with Fleury out of position and Ian Cole slides to make a great block an Oliver Bjorkstrand shot from 15 feet in the slot in what was a wide open net for Bjorkstrand.
Early in the third period, the Blue Jackets down 3-1 get the Penguins moving side to side and from the right circle Cam Atkinson has an open net as Fleury was screened and slow to track the puck and Atkinson misses the net by at least 10 feet, a shot Bob Errey on the telecast was marveling about in how he couldn’t believe Atkinson didn’t bury it. That’s a play a 30 goal scorer has to bury and why the Blue Jackets have two goals through two games.
Late in the third period you also had a puck somehow take a bounce and not go into the back of the net by sitting on the outside of the post that Atkinson, Saad couldn’t jam in.
“It’s funny, just the way those bounces are going. But once they start bouncing our way, watch out.” — Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno claimed.
The Blue Jackets haven’t had the bounces going their way, I will give them that and that obviously has to change for them in Game 3, maybe it does for a night, but what happened to the goaltender edge they should have?
Sergei Bobrovsky not Marc Andre Fleury is the one giving up leaky goals and the likely 2-time Vezina Trophy winner who is the far superior goaltender, has been outplayed by Fleury.
Bobrovsky is 0-6 in his last six games, allowing 19 goals over that span. He’s allowed 6 goals on 60 shots to start the series, bringing his career playoff record to 2-8 with an .891 save percentage.
No team since the 2011 Boston Bruins have won a series when going down 2-0.
Guentzel – Crosby – Sheary Line Heating Up
#CBJ increase shot count, triple their high-danger attempts in Game 2 defeat.
Reaction from Torts, Werenski & more: https://t.co/FTWprWEyNW
— ColumbusBlueJackets (@BlueJacketsNHL) April 15, 2017
While the Blue Jackets might be padding themselves on the back for tripling their high danger chances, going from 3 in Game 1 to 9 in Game 2, the Penguins countered [hide] that by creating 14 of their own.
This was another game for the Penguins where it was more about shot quality than shot quantity.
Pittsburgh’s high end talent is just far superior and it’s made the Blue Jackets out-attempting Pittsburgh a moot point. A second round series against Washington might be another story but all that matters right now is Columbus.
Conor Sheary might have been a little too critical of the Penguins top-line’s performance in Game 1, calling it awful as the underlying numbers showed some positive signs moving forward.
The line might not have had the greatest possession numbers Friday night, but the line shined in showing how hard they are to defend in Game 2.
Guentzel – Crosby – Sheary created 7 high danger chances in the win.
“They’re three really good players. I think they play the game with a lot of courage. They go to the battle areas. They have great hockey sense and they’re quick. They’re hard to defend.” Mike Sullivan said of the line.
Boy, have the Penguins hit the lottery with how good Jake Guentzel is. The Penguins internally viewed him as the organizations No. 1 prospect entering this season but no one saw him having the type of impact he’s had as a top-line winger.
He might be a rookie but is one of the smartest players on the ice that has also made him such a good fit with Sidney Crosby. He thinks the game like an elite level player does. [/hide]
Fleury was a mess tonight. Thankfully Malkin was there to make him look solid.
Yeah. Stopped 30 of his last 31. A “mess”. I don’t know how they’ve overcome Hainsey to this point. Another Maloni “good call”
There’s my little box score biiiiitch. I missed you.
Sure sweetie. If you watched the game and thought fleury played bad, well….that’s the little dek hockey superstar we all missed so much. This series would be over already if not per hainsey. Remember? #Zak
“This series would be over already if not per Hainsey”. I’m going to let you take that one back. A mulligan if you will.
No, the team was shit in the first 5 minutes, MAF was arguably weak on the third goal but because of him the team was able to fight back and win!
What a novel concept. The team played poorly? Are you mad?!?!
Why would I be mad? I was balls deep in you the whole game.
You couldn’t afford me. Not on your wife’s salary.
And you really think tje Pens played poorly ? Other than the first 7 minutes they dominated play. Check the box score again.
I thought that’s what we were referring to. They collectively shit their pants for the first ten minutes.
I didn’t think Fleury was weak on any of the goals. But he was off his angles and over playing the puck all game. He was off his feet far too often. But, it’s the jackets
All 9 goals in the Pit/CBJ game were by American-born players, the most ever in a playoff game.
They changed the one rust goal to Malkin.
Welp. That post was useless.
Haha
Wonder how the sammich is handling this…
CM watch the NBC feed of the OT goal. That goal is all Sid. Outworked Savard for the puck and dropped some sauce on Jake’s tape.
That savard is a fucken bastard. Glad he was on the ice for that one. Fuckk him lol
So was Dubinsky. A lot to like about that goal lol
Shhhhhh. This goes against his personal agenda. Him and Yoda are one in the Same.
CM with another amazing night of posting. You get a minus on the pk? Haha. 2 Apples from Sid and he’s still trying to push his agenda.
With Letang hurt it was hard not to really get down but with Sid and Geno at this level? Wow
I thought the Letang injury would have a bigger impact to be honest. These young dudes stepping up again is huge. Rust is having another great post-season. Guentzel is burying. Geno and Sid are just being stars right now. It’s a good time to be a Pens fan.
Hell yeah.
I can’t get over how good Guentzel looks. Guy is mature beyond his years man. What an asset
Great pick by Shero.
Are you done yet? I never said you get a – on the PK dude. I’ve played hockey for over 30 years I know how the game works.
But as I said it wasn’t Crosbys best game. I stand behind that. And as I also said, when I bag on crosby he shows up and makes things happen… so I’ll continue to roll with my superstitions.
Now have a good evening
You totally thought you get a minus on the pk dude. We all saw it.
Yep, you bagging on the best player in the game makes him play better, hahaha. -1 because of the PK, haha.
Tortz man of the night
Interesting choice. You kids have fun!
Instant buzz?
Instant Buzz: yoda has been hoping the team melts down in front of MAF for two games while the sammich gets upset at goals that Kessel and Geno are involved with. At this point it’s close and we are not 100% sure which of the two is the worst fan in the entire fan base but we know for 100% fact they are two of the dumbest mother fuckerrs on earth.
#snowfrogfromfakecanada #fuckfacefraud2017! #maftoremysphincterandnevercalled
Great job by the guys, started the night asleep and allowed the jackets to take the big early lead but they owned it much if the rest of the way. Guentzel is fucken gold! Member when yoda melted down and laughed at everyone that felt the series was likely to end fast after game two! Wonder how it looks now? Lol
Blow the team up. You can’t win with Fleury in net.
Hey yoda… how does it feel being fucken wrong again hey you fucken cuntt Hole? Throwing shit at walls till it sticks is failing you know lol. Die in your sleep tonight fuckwad lol
Best post of the night!
i’m happy tortorella is a complete A Hole. the jackets come out playing good hockey, they take a 3-1 lead, and he has his knuckleheads running around taking themselves out of position and allow the pens to come back. that guy is a moron and i looooooooooooove it!
https://media.giphy.com/media/SleotgmotWahW/giphy.gif
Speaking of morons
I love this.
Yeah you want the Pens to win. That cute when you post this nonsense.
#TearItDown
how perfect was it that on easter sunday, the hand of the lord touched st.bleury and allowed him to make a halo save in a critical moment! i will say it, the saint has been average and hasn’t melted down. average goaltending with no meltdowns will be good enough to advance. #allhailtheholyhalosave!
https://media.giphy.com/media/SleotgmotWahW/giphy.gif Going 7!!!!
Ice your sphincter
Drop off the face of the earth you fucken hypocrite
Kind of like how the hand of st blurry refused to give you a reach around and you’ve never forgiven him for it.
who called the guentzel goal???? that’s right, your prophet did!
https://media.giphy.com/media/SleotgmotWahW/giphy.gif
You also called a meltdown.
https://media.giphy.com/media/SleotgmotWahW/giphy.gif !!!!!
You called a loss and melt down you retard lol. You’re embarrassing yourself at this point loser
Guentzel an amazing release again for a huge goal. Go Pens!!! And Happy Easter!!!
He’s found money! Happy Easter. Hope the family is recouping.
He’s been great this year. Hope everything is going well.
9 goals, all American
8…looks like Rusty’s second changed to Gino
Rags losing 3 min left and arena still full yet pens win 4 mins left and half of crowd gone in ppg. Explain me Stain why?
Explain your stain? Its cuz you shlt yourself, Sam.
Fleury is smiling……trigger!
Yoda back from prayer session?
Was Saad even playing tonight
He was pretty invisible. Americans, man.
That final shift by Sid was ridiculous.
Agreed. Great effort by Sid.
Made me remind how he embarrassed spezza in playoffs vs sens
The prophet Hans Solo is on his 3rd rate CBJ blog telling everyone he told them St. Bob would lose it for them.
Best post of the night! Every board has one.
Gotta roll with Fleury. He’s on his last ride and playing like he knows it.
Our prophet called it again. It’s going 7. #talesfromthebutthole
He said jackets in 6 earlier today
Fcuk you Yoda. Fleury big reason why we won. Another wrong prediction.
Credit to crosby he made that play happen. Redeemed himself on not his best game or night.
I’ll take that win
3 assists. Not his best game. -1 on the pk
Now that is one hell of game winner assist making an American look good
Hey Sam, that was great work down low by Crosby. 9 for 9.
CGuentzel baby!!
WOOOOOOOO!!!
Another great save
That may have been the save of the series so far.
Ridiculous save. Love the smile after. I’m sure Yoda hated it.
Fleury!!!!!!
Ill go Rowney. Hes got some American fight in him.
Crosby can redeem himself with a goal here… cmon man let’s get it done.
Redeem himself for what? The -1 from the pk?
I’ll take 72 or 17
Sheary. Even though he’s been “meh” today
Geno with the game winner.
st.bleury 0-9 in his last 9 playoff overtime appearances. lets hope the pens score quick. if the pens win tonight they win the series. if the pens lose tonight it’s going to 7 games.
Wow you came back when they tied it. #worstpensfanever
Yes 1 for 1 in wrecking your shitt cave tho
Didn’t you say jackets in 6 earlier today
I’ll take Maata for the GWG..
i’m going with guentzel
Like going steady? It’s about time you moved on.
Ok Yoda, I mean CM. Sorry can’t tell you guys apart.
Funny man funny
Columbus got a lucky goal. TJ puck left the rink and should not have counted
IS sid gonna win a draw? Or is he done doing the little things…
I agree. He’s been awful that period in the dot.
He is such a scared sissy crybaby. Dubinsky chumps him and so does Giroux
You’re starting to look like a yoda level moron.
Giroux? Wow! You’ve gone full Yoda on us.
Did Giroux not get into a Crosbys head a few playoffs ago and shut acrosby down?…
Yeah 5 years and 1 Stanley Cup ago. Now Philly is looking to dump that turd.
Ya maybe jeff22666 was right when he said cm gotta cm. You’ve quickly entered yoda/sammich territory here
Don’t mess with my mojo… when I bag on Crosby he always comes up big. Superstition.
And honestly I don’t care what you guys think. He’s had a poor game and isn’t immune to criticism.
Except he hasn’t had a poor game. He’s had a decent game but has had some poor bounces find there way
Step away from the keyboard.
Crosby another -2
Yeah. But one of those was in the pk
He’d be a -3 if Guentzel didn’t score
Ya Crosby has been garbage tonight… good grief lol
Dubinsky must have been raised in Canada. Hes that low skill goon who habitually does something stupid to lose a game for his team that Canada is known for producing.
Or maybe hes American… 7.5 for 8
Bad timing lol
Yoda been quiet since pens tied but he will be here once pens win saying pens need always 4 in order win for fleury
Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
I’m not sure whose a bigger moron, you or yoda. Team takes the lead and you’re upset it’s on the PP but have never been able to back up that asinine claim. Fake asss fucken Pens fan. Go watch the Habs you queeb
PP looked better without Sid.
Power play specialists
CGuentzel fucken rules!!!
From Malkin and Kessel… sammich?
7 for 7
Would be nice to see Crosby get the GwG…. just sayin
Ill even take a game winner assist. Thats a thing you know.
I’m of the opinion that I’d be cool with anyone in white getting the game winning goal.
Sam can you please say some more things about Geno’s line? Would love to see a hat trick from Rust.
Just go thumbs down some Netflix movies and don’t come back for a while
Boy Sam. You sure embarrassed him.
https://media.makeameme.org/created/YOULL-HAVE-TO.jpg
What is your Netflix info?
Why you can’t leach off from some American taxpayer money? Plus American Netflix has more content. it gives you more to thumbs down movies
You said youd give me yours. You wouldnt lie to me now, would you?
Highlight of the night will be tortz interview after they lose tonight’s match
Who John?
No Johnny
Another zinger.
Hahahahahahaha
That’s actually funny… and I hope true
Another controversial call
I feel like Boone Jenner hasn’t been the same player ever since his dad started transitioning.
Who Bruce?
No Sabrina you fucken idiot
Hahaha
Absolutely no respect for a middle aged man wearing a Dubinsky jersey
Someone fill out a missing persons report. I haven’t seen yoda since we were losing.
Somewhere in Columbus there is a nerd named Hans Solo bltching on a third rate CBJ blog about St. Bob blowing this game.
Holy fuck I’m in tears here, excellent performance hahaha
Just like I said, keep shooting on Bob. He’s shaky.
Bob is having a real hard time tracking the puck today almost every occasion
Sam and yoda both quiet now. Go figure.
Is there a worse feeling than bleeding from the face as the other team celebrates? Lol
Better then bleeding from your asss
Jesus sam, ill take your word on that.
Tha seems like another American goal. If I’m not mistaken.
6 goals, all Americans.
Hahahaha SAM. Did you see that!?
Hahahahahhaha
Yeah another controversial goal by kessel line happens only if you are American I bet if this was Canadian both occasion whistle would’ve happened early
Is that why Toews doesnt score? Because of whistles?
You seriously go out of your way to say the dumbest thing possible.
Same again cheering against the pens because he’s yoda like in being a fake fucken Penguins fan.
Do you at least wash your Habs jersey you cuntt or do you just wear it daily and let that odour ferment
Im happy pens are tie but if this happened the other way around you guys be bitchingg. Kessel should’ve got penalty and puck on face should’ve been whistle. Kessel line or not. It’d the truth just happens to be both happens with kessel line
What controversy? The Pens had possession… that’s why it wasn’t whistled down. That’s how it has always worked.
Beauty… glad chubby and the Russian finally showed up, they’ve been missing since winning game one for this team, oh and Malkin scored last game but other than that invisible
you Sam’s lost brother?
You’re not to sharp are you? Or is it booze? That’s forgivable
Don’t drink but Sam is one of two posters I ignore on here. Don’t waste my time with him.
I’m straight up making fun of him here.
Samthepud. Please make fun of malkin again. We need a goal. Thanks.
5 goals, all by Americans. Must be the playoffs.
GENOS line again !!
That’s should’ve been a penalty on that Michelin tire
Go fuck your dad again
Sam. Please bitchh about geno’s line some more. I love how dumb it makes you look.
How yoda of you… team scores and this twaat argues it should have been a penalty… in the playoffs lol.
Thats what happens when you Jacket too hard. You blow your load early.
Ahahaha chubby not getting a penalty
No one in front of the net on Crosbys line
Yeah. That line had been a real issue for this team for weeks….
Are you trolling or serious? I know we tend to troll here but you seem serious
That line is the reason this team made the playoffs while your Russian takes his annual yearly 20 games vacation
Your timing is so good. As geno factors in on another goal
The only reason Crosby isn’t -3 is because he doesn’t PK much.
This statement makes zero sense.
What? Players get minus on pk?
You do know you don’t recieve a minus when a goal is scored short handed right?
Hey zerotool what do you think of Byron 22 goals this season 0 was on pp and costs under a million vs your chubby
No one cares about Byron and Kessel has 3 points in just over 2 playoff games. You’re bad at this.
Chubby had 20 more assists and was this teams true MVP last spring. Worth every dime dumbasss
Good news malkin and Kessel has arrived to the game. They both apologized missing the 1st period with one having a diarrhea after eating too many hotdogs and the other one got caught on the Internet looking for cheap tickets to fly and participate for the WC
I wouldn’t say either had a great period. But they also aren’t at a -1 because they directly played a part in a goal against, a la power play specialist Sidney crosby.
Because both were nowhere near the ice this period
I just looked. Both had significant ice time. Go fish, pud
Has arrived
I didn’t see them passing the puck to the other team like Crosby did. Or skating lazy afraid to get touched by Dubinsky. Tell your groggy friend to grow some balls.
you goofs were proclaiming this series was over after 2 games despite the fact that st.bleury is in the net. hate to tell you guys, this series is going to 7.
Look Yoda is here. We must be losing. That’s textbook Yoda.
That is so dead the fuck on
honestly. Shut up. We get it. You can never have a first time with a guy again. But this gets old, FroYo
Soooooooo…..
Wonder what it would be like on here if your Dad would have pulled out and shot his wad on your Moms belly.
Pens D would look better if Capt Crosby stopped turning the puck over
Wonder what the score would be if Murray was in net
Because he’s Amish.
2-1
Another big save.
Sam you got anymore jokes?
Pens D looks very exposed and look garbage on the ice safe to say they don’t need letang. Right stain
Like the Amish.
Guessing shrinkage is a factor at ice level.
Is crosby playing D tonight? Because he sure didn’t help on that second goal. Regardless of whether they need letang or not, he doesn’t play. It’s like saying we could use Bobby Orr.
Sam, can I get that Netflix info now, just in case this game gets ugly?
3 on 1 and Wilson pushes it gingerly to the goal… somehow this is Fleury
Yoda will never cite that play. Because he hasn’t made love to Wilson…yet
Terrible execution. Errey states that was a great play by Seth Jones. Really?
Party at yoda’s guys. Oops I Meant Riot
Ba zing samthepud
Haha the worst jokes
Bob looks very shaky. We get shots on him it’s an adventure.
This game would be 6-1 if it werent for Fleury
Great save there!
Yes mstartari we can’t lose Americans
We have Amish faking an injury sheary giving away the puck and Cullen taking penalty
And still haven’t seen the Russian and chubby on the ice yet
Amish.
Great analysis….go fcuk yourself Frog.
Bottom line… Pens look like they are in quick sand tonight. Lazy hockey doesn’t win games.
Is Crosby that much of a pussy? He’s standing around like he’s melting ice cream.
Grow some balls and lead your team.
Pens standing around watching
St. Bleury in, pens need 6 to win. You guys never listen to your prophet. Sooooooo predictable.
It probably has something to do with our “prophet” being jaded after an unfortunate anal incident.
What’s best is his prophecy failed miserably through two to the point he has to make up asinine stories about spiking his drink. Guys got the mentality of a fiver year old
Well that ones gonna be fodder for the fuckhead and I’d rather enjoy the game.
The Fleury collapse has begun… now they are in his head. He wasn’t even close to being in position
Crosby with another lazy attempt to clear the zone…. never up the middle..
Are you kidding me? That was completely on Sheary.
Eh. 87 didn’t have a great effort either but largely I agree. Poor play by sheary
Crosby traded yet
Letang looks slow again
Tell Sheary that.
Or sheary getting rid of the puck like a hot potato
Dumb penalty by a veteran playoff player.
Whiffs on the poke check again. #allhailstpokecheck
Leave it to this stupid fuckk to put two massive defensive breakdowns on the net. Why do you even watch hockey? Too fast for you… try competitive knitting. Or wait… ya your kids ask to put the game on so they can watch the father they’re not embarrassed about play net.
He had no issue with the poke check when it was with your dumper my man.
Wow, what a give away be Sheary! Atkinson finally showed up.
We can’t lose American players.
Nicely done… no chance to fall in their heels!
Trade Crosby and give Guentzel the C
CGuentzel?
Pens will settle down and get a goal here soon… keep the faith fellas
Crosby gonna back check to pick up his man or he just gonna glide around? -1 for the Canadian
Crosby assisted soooo little early to be throwing shade in his direction. That’s a yoda move lol
Yep we should turn it off. Most games end 11 seconds in.
And the meltdown begins. …
What are you talking about… that was glove side… guaranteed to be a goal if Murray was playing too
Remember when he melted down in your shittcave?
Yikes!
Blues 3 wild 0. Another proof you don’t build your team around Americans. Blues got rid of Backes and shattenkirk look at them now
Thoroughly outplayed in 2/3 games and riding the coat tails of their hot goaltender? Look at them now!
Trade Murray this clown can’t play 80 games a year trade him while he has value . Prepare Jarry while fleury has another year in his contract
You can easily replace “Murray” with “letang” who can barely play 60 games a year.
Or kessel who can’t score 5v5 anymore and bad 2 goals in last 26 games before playoffs started
Actually no. Because Kessel has no issue playing 80 games. You utter pud
Yeah half the time just taking a roster spot while a hungrier younger players is at home watching chubby gasping for air
He’s the reason they won a cup last year. That must really chap your fat asss. Pud.
Or Crosby was the reason they won while he plays vs top lines chubby plays on 3rd line stress free
Put sid on 3rd line and chubby on first line I would bet it results would change
If they were relying on Crosby they wouldn’t have made it past the capitals. When he was on “holiday”
Pud.
Instead they relied on letang shutting ovi. Maybe he learned from Scuderi the guy that was suppose to shut ovi and teach letang how to play defense according to your pea brain
I’m not sure what I like more. The retarded comment, or the fact that after making it, you logged in from your other account to give yourself a thumbs up. Pud.
You forgot that I blew that 5v5 claim way out of the water didn’t you? As a % of his total goals Phil scores about as many of his 5v5 than Crosby does. Why do you give to make shit up?
If the pens start off strong, I could see Columbus unraveling. They seem to be on the edge right now. Going up by a goal or two in their barn, already being down two games, could induce more Calvert-like plays.
Another win today would probably cause yoda and his bruised rectum to also unravel

Congrats you were able to change the original message and picture
When it was npl and the rest of the fat Democrat slobs suckss with your fat asss picture choking on a hot dog
tonight is going to be the night of the meltdown. it’s going to suck.
If anyone knows about sucking Fleury it has to be you, pincushion
Caps in 4 npl.
Caps in 5 tbj because of Matthews
He still hasn’t shown up
But leafs manage to win
Thanks to kapanen
No clue what this post even means, but congrats on finding the enter key.
Ha! Great post!
I think it’s supposed to be a haiku
Murray listed longer than day to day? Wonder if this is going to be a thing… wonder if it’s something we fall back on Jarry with and allow Murray to become the bait this off season?
Or do we just keep Murray and allow the cards to fall where they may?
funny, your patron saint finishes nearly dead last in the regular season in all stats and costs 6 million. the 22 year old who makes half the money finishes in the top 10 and you want to move him out of here and keep the guy in his 30’s because he wins two playoff games. #cultofstbleury
You fucked Fleury dude. Fucked him. He stole your ass cherry
Recent updates on Murrays health are very concerning. How good is Murray to us if he puts himself out of the playoffs making a save in the warmups you fucken moron? Guys been hurt a few times this year on phantom injury… it’s only one year sure but if this is a problem then he becomes a high risk. The fact that the Penguins have Jarry and Gustafson on the way up gives the team a chance to think this one through. Was it just the stretching of your *** that has made you so single minded on the Fleury… Read more »
Sam, what is your Netflix ID and password? Its been hours since you said youd give it to me.
Calvert out 1 game is a joke…..smh. the NHL is run by a bunch of pansies.
pens need to dress sesitio for game 3. have him play one shift and tell him to break his stick on a cross check too over some guys back. they could only give him 1 game. the standard is set.
Ya that’s a terrific idea… either have him go out early and put the team a man down or keep him on the bench to save it for the end of the game unnecessarily tiring out the forwards more than they have to be… you really are a stupid fuckk
He has the mental capacity of a 7 year old, and that’s being generous.
it worked great against the jets. plus it would be highly entertaining.
Coming from a guy that considers having his ass penetrated by French Canadians entertaining, well collectively pass
“It worked well against the Jets”… A: it didn’t the Pens found themselves tied shortly after his antics vs a non-playoff team. B: the scenario was diffused by Malkin right away and that moron just heated things up again
Typical of this asshat… can’t tell the difference between a 100 point team with a Vezina winner vs a team missing the playoffs in part due to horrible goaltending.
you guys owe me big time! if you were wondering, it was infact your prophet who used the jedi mind trick to sneak ritalin into your saint’s water bottle over the past 2 games! it was easy. i went to the locker room security guy and said “you will put this crushed up ritalin pill in st.bleury’s water bottle now” the security guy then said “i will put the crushed up ritalin pill in st.bleury’s water bottle now”. i then said “you will give the pens a chance with your deed.” he then said “i will give the pens a… Read more »

Wtf is this. Is this a joke ? Please tell me it was just a stupid dream of yours
Like your multiple accounts here. Jokes.
Why wouldn’t you just put it in his drink post-coitus?
Yoda, Google how to tell a joke or watch it on YouTube. You and Sam are horribly unfunny.
What an asshole, chicken little melts down with a sky is falling post then pretends he held it up for us? Get fuckked assclown
i’m not kidding. i really did get ritalin in his water bottle. st.bleury is playing good because i made sure he is on drugs to calm himself down. so far so good.
Idiot!
About one week left for hockey in Canada.

Guentzel has developed way faster than I could have immagined. I was yelling for him to pass it back to Sid, bur wow did he have a quick release on that shot. Players like him are huge as they carry no cap hit and allow you to spend $ in other areas.
Sids wingers are the new dupuis and kunitz. And younger starting with sid vs the other 2. I would give them both 4 to 4.5m max and they better take that discount because they are playing with sid. Unless they will want to go elsewhere and get overpaid and become overrated then that’s their choice but if they are smart and want to have chance to win the cup what’s better to play with sid .maybe they might not even sign new contract here because sid might be traded before. Right stain?
Remember same said Sheary sucked?
Dude sheary is only that good because of Crosby
Kunitz was good dupuis was good too why do you think genius?
Phil Kessel is a Stanley Cup Champion too
They are good players is why they were good. Kunitz had 60 points with Anaheim and won a cup with them. His best season in Pittsburgh was 68 points. His second best was 61 and crosby didn’t play that year. How does it fell to get owned in every argument?
Sheary almost a PPG pace this year… All Sid! Despite the fact that Sid was barely a PPG with Sheary out of the line up lol
Ya but those 2 weren’t as young playing with sid. So I’m sure they would’ve put up more points if they played earlier
And remember sid got injured on few occasion so kunitz, dupuis could’ve have more points if sid was healthier. Take sid out 20 games this year I bet those 2 kids will not shine as much as they do with sid.
Except it was well established that Kunitz was a 25 goal and 60 point guy long before Crosby. Dupuis hit 20 for the 1st time with the Pens during the season Sid came back late from injury. His career high of 59 points in Pittsburgh was only one better than the 58 he put up in Minnesota….
This is what happens when you ask for the opinion of someone that started watchinghockey after the crosby lottery draft.
The Pens can adjust their game to their opponent. They could always play run and gun high scoring to match the Caps, Sullivan has now done a great job getting them to bear down and play a tight game vs opponents like the Rangers, Jackets, Bruins etc.
Bottom line if fleury didn’t bail team out twice in the 1st periods the series would’ve been a different result and your Powerplay specialists would’ve been under more pressure and more exposed but of course you have stain and npl that watches different type of hockey
#Scoreboard
Bottom line – Montreal should be down 2-0 on home ice, but luckily, a Russian bailed them out.
Dude hang yourself. First game rags had no business winning and yesterday rags had no business even going into overtime the game was heavily one sided.
No business two nights in a row – you’re hilarious – what does that say about your habs and their bandwagon fans? Two nights on home ice and just scraped by to TIE the series! You should try watching the games once in a while. The first time they lead was in OT.
Dude just stop talking hockey with me it just doesn’t make sense to me to understand you. Maybe one day We I might connect with your hockey once I agree pens should trade Crosby asap
Of course you don’t understand me. You barely know what icing is. You started watching hockey after the Crosby lottery.
You’re being a little harsh on power play specialist Sidney Crosby, sammich.
