Penguins have found another gear to put Senators on the brink
The Pittsburgh Penguins are now one win away from a consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final and five wins away from doing something no team has done in 19 years, win back-to-back Stanley Cups.
The Penguins in putting the Ottawa Senators on the brink of elimination with a 7-0 shutout win in Game 5, have found that extra gear since Game 3 and today were a club possessed to put the Senators out of their misery.
It was men among boys out there today in the Penguins favor. The Penguins were so good last postseason in being able to smell defeat from an opponent where they just overwhelmed the opposition with speed and aggressiveness.
That was the Penguins this afternoon in Game 5 from the drop of the puck.
This series was going to play out with the Penguins either hitting a wall due to fatigue and injuries that looked to might be happening after Game 3 that could lead to an upset or the more talented hockey club being the Penguins would eventually start putting pucks in the net and take over the series.
It’s the latter on what’s played out.
The Senators are not a mediocre team, but they’re also not a very good team. Playing structured, disciplined hockey with strong puck management in all three zones is what they have to do to compete and having Craig Anderson play well above his ability was going to have to continue but it was always dicey that Anderson in particular could keep it up as the series progressed.
Where this series turned, though, was the big saves by Matt Murray in the early minutes of Game 4. Coming off the 5-1 win in Game 3, if Ottawa converts one or two of those grade-A chances on Murray and gets the first goal in Game 4, who knows where this series would have gone.
Since about the five minute mark of the first period in Game 4, Pittsburgh flipped a switch to take this series over and Ottawa has gone in a completely different direction.
The superior team has emerged.
Pittsburgh has outscored Ottawa 10-2 since the goaltender change and everything about the Penguins these last two games looks like the 2016 Penguins once again.
The swagger, speed game and calmness in their game is back.
No better sign of that than the first 10 minutes of the second period.
Up 4-0 after 20 minutes, there was no letting off the gas from the Penguins. They opened up an 11-3 shot advantage in the first 10 minutes of the second period and they never let up.
Game 5 Takeaway: Key Line Adjustments overwhelm Senators
— What the Penguins did with their lines for Game 5 was something the Senators couldn’t handle. The coaching staff balanced out a mix of grit, speed and skill with all four lines.
[hide]
Speed and pressure without the puck demolished the Senators puck management game.
On the top line, Chris Kunitz has added that needed grit element since moving up to the Crosby line in Game 4, Scott Wilson the same with Malkin and Kessel.
Unfortunately for Wilson, it remains to be seen if he escaped Game 5 without a concussion after a cheap shot late in the game.
As for The Rust Factor …..
Bryan Rust returning to the lineup, finally gave the Penguins a third line that was difficult to play against.
The speed of Rust overwhelmed Ottawa all game and the Rust – Bonino – Rowney line was a nice combination that gave Ottawa fits along the wall and below the dots.
Depth Scoring in Game 5 win
Carter Roweney – 3 Assists
Bryan Rust – Goal, Assist
Nick Bonino – 2 Assists
Scott Wilson – Goal
Matt Cullen – Goal
Trevor Daley – Goal
Olli Maatta – Goal
On the 4th line, the coaching staff coming around to playing Josh Archibald has had a positive impact the last two games.
From a speed standpoint, it doesn’t get much better than having Carl Hagelin and Josh Archibald as your two fourth line wingers.
Archibald had a really strong game, especially in the first period where he was active and creating chaos with his speed game.
Meanwhile, defenseman Mark Streit returned to the lineup by default with Chad Ruhwedel having a concussion but his presence to the lineup in Game 5 also had an impact in the Penguins driving play on the breakout and contributing offensively.
A great setup to Matt Cullen to push the Penguins lead to 5-0 and even though it was garbage time, Streit’s hockey IQ showed on the Trevor Daley power play goal as he rotated into a rover position in the middle of the slot and created a screen on the goal.
Game 6 is Tuesday night.

Npl must be depressed tonight after witnessing for the first time pens lose a match. I don’t know which defeat hit him most. Pens losing tonight or Hilary losing her presidential campaign
A match? Did they leave it all on the pitch? What’s the upcoming fixtures look like sam? Who’s “hilary?”
Hey D, how come the saves from period one game four didn’t equal a win tonight?
Because Hainsey took a needless penalty on a guy who wasn a threat to score and turned the momentum… I feel like you’re not a fast learner ZeroClue.
It was a penalty in the same way that you “work for a living”
Ohhhhhh so now that goal is on him too? Man we should just sit him and let what? Warofsky play. It’s great to learn that a penalty taken in game six has anything to do with the previous claim of the game four save being the catalyst for success after that. It’s no shock that you don’t think much of DK but believe D has a clue lol
you’re stammering now…maybe a good night’s rest and we can try again in the morning…
For my own amusement I watched the play again… in the regular season it’s a boarderline call, in the playoffs it’s down right atrocious. The penalty was fucken terrible on the refs too call especially considering that about 3 mins before he missed a blatant call on Ryan. So you can go ahead and find one guy yo bitch about for the loss because watching 19 is far outside your ability but all it serves is confirming that the place you have next to sammich and yoda is incredibly well deserving
Now we’re blaming the refs. Such a Wannabe American thing to do.
did your finger get stuck in your VCR tape?
Notice how sam quit posting when Maloni posts picked up.
What I do notice is how over weight and sad you are.
A fat joke that doesnt land #ClassicSamDiego
How about gay, black, Dem non-hockey fan jokes .. whatcha got Hillary
Failed political joke
#ClassicSamDiego
He literally steals from Sam when he’s in over his head… comical
isnt this the point in the thread where you get really belligerent and start lashing out
No need to, you regurgitating material from one of the biggest idiots on the page is entertaining enough!
Maloron – “what Ever Sam would say next”
Saved you a post.
Maloni would bet his swiffer that the pens win the next game. He’s not fucking around.
is that anger genetic?
Defaults to anger haha, now tell me about Edmonton samdiegopittfan, but do it in a legible manner and please use better observational skills than you did on the winner.
What you notice is how your toilet brush smells like your wife’s dingleberries. And how the two of you collectively receive one W-2
I did notice that in fact.
and i noticed you’re middle aged, loney and have a thing for other man and money.
#thingssammichwouldsay
Troy Loney? I do have money. You should try it. Might be a little late to learn a craft though. Your “I clean up other people’s shitt” skill has limited income potential.
Of course you have money between your double shift at DD and Uber you’re tearing it up. So much so you live in suburban pittsburgh.
I’m confused on what hsift and urber are. (I actually have two homes between Pittsburgh and Raleigh – jealous?)
haha…two homes, suit and tie to games, and first class flights ..man, did you mom leave you alone as a kid. you’re screamin for attention. tell us strangers more
Eh. If you could brag about your toilet brush, you would. Problem is we all have them. I just happen to pay someone else to use mine.
What do don’t have is hockey knowledge. Let me flush some down my toiet for you. Ive got extra.
Do don’t. Another quality point from the plumber that thinks he has hockey knowledge.
you have a Troy Loney replica jeresey too BoxScore…how many athletic jerseys with another man’s name on the back do you own?
If you had to choose between an Omega sea master planet earth and a Rolex explorer ii, which direction would you go? I want a common man’s input.
Then you should ask one of your neighbors in your middle class Pitt suburb
youre probably right. Not sure you do enough to qualify for “common man”. I’ll check with someone else.
He is still begging 5k from Yoda so he can pay his next 10 month rent
That would be funny. If you didn’t have to rely on your mom for satellite radio. But I digress.
Sam’s a male nurse
Samdiegopittfan is a male house keeper…
weak #Americanwannbe
Ya no, I see some great things about your country and then there is you… I already have a Sam here to deal with. I do find it amusing you default to Sam insults when you’re out of things to say
Im not out of things to say ZeroClue. How’d you feel about Kessel tongiht, better or worse than Hansey?
Who’s hansey?
He was less noticeable than Hainsey but better than your ability to spell! Now tell me what Sam would say? #samdiegopittfan
I’m sure Nashville loves a game 7. If any team needs rest it’s the Pens.
For sure.
Well team yodasammichdeigopittfan need a long break too, they have collectively gone fucken sideways and need about 2 weeks to digest what is actually happening
That would really suck if the Pens choke this away. I really want them to visit whoever the president will be later this summer.
Still not Hillary. “Last I checked”
Thats fine by me.
It’s not though. That was your girl. You were with her.
Was there another option?
Not if you were looking to vote for a proven criminal and put a serial rapist back in the White House. No.
Putin’s a murderer, and hes in the white house.
8 months of investigation. Still waiting. Russia!
Be patient. This embarrassing nightmare will end soon.
Oh yeah. 8 months. And we have more “unnamed sources.” baited. Breath.
would you two please stop the poitical debate and get back to attacking me
If I had to clean the shower before bed, I’d be looking for every distraction in the world too. Luckily, I pay Gloria to do that for me.
are you still squeezing into your election night pants suit Nippples?
We need a Dejan press release. 3-2-1
I love the multiple personalities of Yogurt.
look at the bright side…something good is now on TV on thursday night and the pens absolutely dominated the last 2 games. they are going to murder the senators on thursday. all will be well.
Unless our goalie gets outplayed again. And then there’s the Hainsey factor.
the pens are going to put up 45 shots next game too and score 5. this was just one of those games where you are cursed. a BS disallowed goal, the sens getting a 5 on 3, and anderson playing with a horse shoe up his as$. the sens were lucky. it isn’t happening 2 games in a row.
Yeah the ’93 Pens said the same thing against the Islanders. When you have a team down you finish them especially this shitty Sens team.
Yup
This scares me.. this idea of only playing when the back is against the wall is gonna kill them
this prediction scares me…
He’s such a loser. He was so quite tonight.
Right now Murray is blaming Hainsey.
You’re so bad at this sam.
I know he’s your boy. Tough to watch him sink the pens.
I’m kinda a Fleury guy over Murray to be honest. But yeah. He sunk them tonight Sammy
Don’t pretend you have any idea what you’re watching.
I’m really concerned with what a dek hockey home maker thinks. Believe me. You’re so cute.
While it’s not actually just Murrays fault, bad change, he should have had that from that far out… that said it was 1000x more on Murray than anyone paying attention would put it on Hainsey
Nobody puts it on hainsey. Unless you have a narrative where you don’t like hainsey and have to feed said narrative. This is also a notable CNN strategy.
The penguin killer, Boxscores boy?
You’re basically Sam with slightly better sentence structure, who you calling boy samdiegopittfan?
Sam Diego
Bingo
For? Not throwing himself in front of the 35 footer that beat him clean glove side for the W?
Or letting him man get to the net and screening Murray. Or his needless Penslty that turned the momentum in the game. Pick either one
This is sam at his most sam.
Sooooo, bail from the front of the net as opposed to engage the attacker in hopes he misses his assignment which is Both a drive to the goal and provide a screen? The goalie had a line of sight and it was blown by him while the guy that you have faulted for every goal this series did his job. Samdiegopittfan doesn’t get it..
Rewind you VCR and watch again. Hainsey plays his man soft. It has nothing to do with taking the wrong man. But you’re Canadian. You know all about being soft.
Lol, tough guy I’m willing to bet is grape soft when his sponsor lets him actually leave the house.
#rewindmevcr you’re not just a shitty house keeper lol
Samaloni would have been hard while playing his man.
It’s amazing you’d even suggest this based on how obvious it was that Hainsey took the guy headed to the goal. I can break it down for you step by step like I do with yoda and sammich if you’re still struggling with this…
Literally Hainsey takes McArthur after he drops the puck off, a bad line change leads to the poor back check leaving Hoffman open too shoot. You’re welcome, you can tell your girl friends that at high tea tomorrow before chores start
Memo for Hainsey… never take the guy headed to the net… if there is a chance the shooter can go glove side from 30+ let your guy go to the net and take the shooter
No, don’t let your guy get to the net unimpeded. Watch again.
I did, he completely took his guy samdiegopittfan, he left the shooter for the goalie which he should and the goalie was beat clean. Holy fuck I’d love to see the game for your eyes for even a minute!
What’s you definition of “taking his guy” letting him skate through the goalie’s vision and past the net. Dude is 6’4 over 200. Step up and put a stick on the guy. I’m not absolving Murray. Just pointing out what the rest of the hockey world knows about Hainsey.
He engaged the guy almost instantly…. he started to move him right as the shot was taken unimpeded because of a bad line change. I’m not sure why this is so difficult to grasp… he is also 6’3 but like the rest whatever you need to make it sound better is gravy
Really hope coach sully chokes
Fuckk him and Murray
Youre the biggest piece of shlt in Quebec. Which is a lot.
The weirdest too.
Dying lol
Please retype that in English. Thanks
Leave it to Sam to bitch at a coach that has the team on the verge of back to back finals appearances despite the French Canadian goalie shitting the bed in game four, a French Canadian shitting the bed like 60 games ago and calling it quits and his boyfriend and sole reason for being a part time Pens fans not showing up in a game where Malkin tried to carry this team.
Youre talking about a French weirdo who once said Mike Johnston would have a better career than Stanley Cup winning head coach Dan Bylsma.
Bobby Ryan with a star… Pageau no where to be found… sammich?
Box score matters
It does for you. You turn your tv off. Virgin
Well, the team that scores more goals typically wins the game, sooooooo…
It kind of does when you lose by one and Ryan scored you stupid fuckk… that said he also starred meaning everyone watching thought he was pretty good too… fucken retard
F Bobby Ryan. That dude hasn’t been relevant his entire career until the last 2 months.
He must be nearing end of his contract that hack
Did the Senstors give Hainsey his star.
No but the Ottawa Sun saved one for you for the same quality analysis we get from that jizz rag of a paper #samdiegopittfan
How much Ryan is paid and how much is pageau paid. You would expect that tourist shows up time to time. And even at that he was a ghost tonight yes he had a goal but Murray should’ve stopped it
Well Ryan scored so no matter how much they are making one earned their money… add the fact that he scored the winner in game one and you are losing this argument substantially
Anderson was awesome, the no goal call was crap and they would never dream of giving the pens a 5 on 3 when Crosby got his stick broken in half on the pp but they give one to the sens. Just a bad luck night. Pens in 7
Also, Murray let in softies.
5 on 3 is a free bee and the slapper was the perfect shot. Give credit where it is due. Anderson stole this one.
A freebie! That goal was charming soft.
It was a classic Murray glove side softie bitch
you mean Pedro the Glove
Eat shitt fuckhead, if MAF was in net you’d be murdering chickens trying to get him out. Fraud
Those two goals Murray let in weren’t “bad luck”
Pens picked a bad time to run out of the momentum they had from those saves by Murray in game 4.
The NHL deserves a Sens Preds final, the Daley no goal was f’ing rubbish.
Agree. They wave that goal off when the goalie couldn’t cover 3 times on his own. They bailed Anderson out there.
Agreed
Lose to a team that even their fans quit on by not selling the arena out tonight.
Wonder what the headline would be here tomorrow if fleury had given up a 40 foot goal with no screen.
You mean the 100 mph slapper of the post and in with 5 seconds to tee it up? Come on
I like this notion that you’d have thought that if Fleury let it in. You little catcher you.
Lol, ya Hoffman is renown for his bomb, in motion, placed like no other. Face it if it was MAF you’d be bitching for days
Crosby better show up with a better effort than chances onThursday or this team is fucked. That and Murray needs to worry about saves deep in that game and not rely on saves in the first period in game 4 right D? You fucken idiot lol
Edzo loves when the Pens lose.
Joke! Great 3rd boys.
Kessel is abag of shiit
What the fuck was Crosby doing there?
Forcing game 7
You mean going to the backside post.
No i mean coughing it up at the blue line then losing it in the linesmen skates… try watching the whole game and not just Hainsey
I can only watch Hainsey. It’s like a car accident
Fleury should play for Ron Hainsey
Sam should write your jokes
He kinda is
Who’s joking
What a stupid fucken penalty by Crosby
With four minutes left… unreal
It’s like he’s trying to give Ottawa the win
Toronto gave them the win with that awful no goal call.
True dat
You mean the too many men on the ice call. The third in three games. Yup that’s on Crosby.
Lol, you can blame a guy that has been the workhorse of the blue line while it’s short handed for everything but can’t find it It Your heart to blame Sid when it’s on him? Samdiegopittfan in full effect
Leave it to Sam to bad mouth Geno for scoring while blowing Crosby for chances…
Sam logging in and out of his regular/Maloni profiles must be exhausting. Wonder if he’s using two browsers
See ya Thursday. Wonder if Fleury will start? I hope somebody asks Sully that question after the game.
Is that serious?
No
Here’s one bandwagon turning off his TV wonder how many more
Ron wanted to play in another game7
If only pens had sheary that potential 30 goal guy. I wonder why he is not playing if he is a 30 goal potential. Box score Matter
No, if Sid was half as invested as Malkin it would be over
Brilliant move to get Sid out with Geno, try to wake Sid up here
Sid wants some game 7
Let’s play a game my bandwagon fellas. Turn the TV off for Mins and turn back on and hope pens are wining by then
Yes, follow the virginal one
Let’s hope you don’t have a heart attack by the end of the game
That would suck missing the end of the game. But you already know that.
You watched it all so far… don’t you wish Sid played as hard as a Geno?
You are a fuckingg clown the amount of sid had chances. just because he hasn’t scored and has always players on him doesn’t mean he suckss Mr Box Score
It means hes Scott Wilson
Ya chances are awesome, who is the leagues alltime leader in chances? What’s the most most chances in a Single season?
Need to get Malkin and Sid together
Here comes the trap.
Ridiculous we are losing this game. Now I know how the Caps felt like.
This Sens team is awful, Anderson has a horseshoe up his A $$
DePaoli’s current headline: Murray Out-duels Anderson, But Pens Lose.
Or is Boucher out coaching Sullivan?
Ron Hainsey wit another assist.
You’ve gone full Sam
Fleury would have stopped that
Sam. Malkin’s line has been on the ice for 9 scoring chances for and 1 against. We would all like your comment. Thanks.
Outshot then 23-10 in the 2nd. Ridiculous this game is tied.
1-1 after 2 periods of too stressed Npl I give you permission to turn off your TV and do the usual leach on this site for info
Crickets……the sound of another Sam joke not landing.
Hes so bad at this
Emerick “isn’t hockey great”. Yeah the tackling on that last sequence was great. The officiating is atrocious. Turris was laying on Sid.
Wow, that was a pretty intense sequence.
Yup you don’t see your Russian play Vs top Defense he would be busy slashing them
Loser, you watching the game or did you turn the TV off? Malkin has been great.
He clearly missed the goal. Turned it off in the second period. So virginal.
Need to put Crosby and Malkin together for a few shifts and end this series.
Minute sens put pressure on pens that fraud Murray gets exposed as fraud. fuckk you scum sully
Yes. Murray hasn’t made any saves.
#wannabehockeyfan
Sam. Could you call out Malkin again? Or “chubby?” We need a goal. And you’re a moron. Thanks in advance. -the rest of us
Ron figured the game was under control. Why not take a needless interference penalty against a non scoring threat.
Bad goal.
Real bad.
No way this game should be tied.
Must have been the Hainsey induced 5-3
Did he make Cole take a penalty? That mother fucker.
Ron Hainsey the Penguin killer.
Fleury would have had that
That was a weak goal to give up.
That’s what they call? Really? And the no goal.
Theyre initmidated by the crowd of 42 French weirdos
WOooooooo Geno… beauty work… sambitch?
9.5, 9.5, 9.5… sambitch
#BoxScoreMatters
Yes sam. The score matters. It really does.
The basic point of the game… to outscore the opponent… for a moment Malkin put the Pens ahead in that. Moron
Wonder what the Edmonton fans think of that goalie interference call. Another blown call in the playoffs. Disgraceful.
We don’t like it
Boooooooo what a fucken French Canadian decision. Bitched don’t like any kind of contact…. pussies
Sammich, why are he biggest pussies on the planet from your neighbourhood?
Listen to this CBC horseshit about interference… Daley posted outside the blue, any contact from outside the blue gotta go to the player
Goon at 9.5 m
Fucken idiot
Hahahahahahahaha geno! What a goal!
Murray injured yet?
Price injured yet?
Hey zero tool How is sheary doing tonight?
Better than Getzlaf, way better than Bergevin, monumentally better than Therrien, not as good as PK Subban!
#WannaBeAmerican
Who doesnt
But… I love PK Subban… who was fucked by a PQ GM and a K coach. How anti Canadian is PQ still?
This crowd sounds like its watching a meaningless game in November #Canada
At least they watch in November unlike some here their hockey only starts in April
And Montreals ends in April.
our society is so silly. you are allowed to assult a person on the ice and it’s fine, but if you call them a dirty word you get fined 10k. personally, i’d rather be called a C*ck sucker than elbowed in the head like we witness in the last few minutes of last nights game.
That’s because you are a cocksucker… I agree that it’s bullshit that Wingles hit went unpunished but you really are a cocksucker!
True that. I blame NPL and his people.
Yeah that fat slob and his #BlackCocksMatter movement
I dont mind people calling you a c0cksucker. You are
Anyone know of a site where you can pay for a pregame article on the big game tonight? I’d be willing to pay extra if the site also had inside info on it as well.
And don’t say DK’s site because him and I are bickering right now.
Haha.. what did you do?
That because you’re a loser Gaydogg.
At least there will be a post game article up as soon as someone else writes one.
Trying to have a pregame nap… 15 min recharge but I’m too excited for the game. All I can see when I close my eyes is Murrays first period saves from game four which assures this team victory
Just make sure you don’t fall asleep and miss the 2 periods then turn on your TV
But still better then turning off the TV mid way the game. Like some people already mastered that
You really are the worst at this! Best at turning the TV off early tho, last I checked.
I’ll tell you what I won’t do… blame PK Subban and his second highest TOI for why the Habs sucked last year. My god this one just keeps getting worse.
Pre game nap? Are you 6 or 96?
Lol Subban a #4 D
Your mom’s gangbang event requires minimum 4 D
#Capsin5
If Penguins manage to win tonight, finals will pit two AMERICAN coaches against one another.
Shame that Lavy is going to lose in the finals again.
#hockeyisanamericansport
If the Pens win tonight we can thank Murray for making saves in the 1st period of game 4
Neal Vs horny
per the fourth period
Did OTT surrender prior to game 6?
I think he spelled “kneel” wrong. Language barrier.
I imagine “Vs” in English translates to “for”
First time ever 16th team goes to the final
per thefourthperiod.com
Senators-Preds Stanley Cup would be exhilerating. Ratings through the roof. NHL deserves nothing better.
Fortunately the Pens will save the NHL from themselves and this awful playoff format give them a feel good moment with the Preds in the finals, but keep the cup safe at home for another year.
Lots of tickets left for the game tonight, what a joke. If you can’t sell out game 6 of the conference finals you shouldn’t have a team.
The leafs would have a full house inside and 15k outside as well. Sens fans should be ashamed of themselves.
Im not sure if the pens still do the outside viewing but they’d be pack out there as well
What is that all about? I have seen this but have not looked into it. Why are they struggling to sell in fucken Ottawa? Although maybe its a good sign… the fans realize its futile and they can stay home to “close” their TV after the 2nd 🙂
No idea the arena is in a shyt spot outside of Ottawa but still, no excuse.
Mind blowing to see a team that close where they have a late day scramble sale to fill seats
The 1-3-1 is as boring as the 95 Devils. I wouldn’t pay to watch that garbage either.
2 wins away from a finals birth? I heard someone describe it this way… If it’s a team you don’t care for then it’s crap hockey but when it’s your team all that matters is the win.
*berth…
You wouldn’t know what you were watching, anyway.
Let’s go to a live look-in at Le Mausolee Bell….
https://thewinterofdiscontent.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/p1020308.jpg
Sam called subban a 4th D?…what 4th D plays almost 30 minutes?
Sam is extra salty because canada didnt win the World championships…..a tournament i still could care less about
Sam never did respond as to “what went wrong.” He was so quick to jump on the US not winning…meanwhile, last I checked, it’s the biggest joke of a tournament held during the year…basically the NIT to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Last I checked.
Perfect comparison
Roman Josi averages 3 seconds a game more than Subban… thats literally line changes lol
AAAAAND I just found your trade rumour. Jesus Christ sammich are you even trying any more? It’s a fucken Leafs rumour started by some Butthurt Canadiens beat writer. Even Leaf fans are not buying it… you are so fucken dumb sammich hahaha. #yoda2.0
https://editorinleaf.com/2017/05/21/toronto-maple-leafs-subban-rumor/
Hey Sammich, seeing as you keep posting shit for people to read… here is something relevant you should check out
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/pk-subban-nashville-predators-2017-nhl-playoffs-anaheim-ducks-hockey/article35064407/
FroYo – I’ll repost – in case you missed it… This has been asked before – I’ll ask it again – if goaltending was their only problem…why was there a need to “blow it up?” On top of that…considering what Fleury showed this year (and quite honestly, what he showed in 2015 and 2014…), how can anyone argue goaltending was their only problem? Nevermind, putting all of that aside, you were still bitchingg about “blowing it up” in March, long after Fleury had been concussed and Murray had taken the reigns. So, aside from those 3-4 inconsistencies (i seriously lost… Read more »
I know nobody else here watched the game but me, but that Ryan Johansen is a fraud. He did nothing all night.
That PK Subban, such a distraction. Man it’s good the Habs dumped him, he would have ruined their year
Last I checked hes in the Cup Finals and the Canadiens are at home watching.
Yeah because subban is the main reason team is wining. The guy is teams 4th D in the team and last I checked they might even wanna move him this off season
I know you box scores didn’t watch the game last night. Preds had no business wining last night’s game
Hope ducks get fleury. That fraud Gibson is garbage. Dipietro 2.0
I know nobody else here watched the game but you, but last I checked Gibson didn’t play. Is that what, last I checked, makes him a fraud? Sam!! You’re the best buddy.
Exactly he is often injured just like dipietro but I guess you didn’t catch on box score
Reminds me of Carey Price, as often as he is injured.
Yeah compare gibby to price. Classic shitstain
Last I checked, Carey Price has the same number of cups as DiPietro (and “Gibby”)
Beauty… that is fucken gold. Sammich got caught talking shitt with a “closed” TV again haha
Because they adopted the Habs “we can win with no centers” philosophy. Had nothing to do with Subban, who’s a 28 year old stud. #4!! God you’re dumb. Last I checked.
Yet they doubled up the Ducks, it’s called perseverance fuckhead and it’s exactly why the Penguins may be joining them lol.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I am not even going to try and talk about this one
He’s a #4, Zero!!!
It is so funny, Ya maybe Roman Josi could be looked at as the true number one but its a special kind of stupid to think the Preds value Ellis and/or Ekholm as better players than Subban HAHAHA. It is unreal how yoda-esque he is making shitt up to fit his narrative. How bout this sammich, PK Subban has changed the way he plays to help the team the best he can. This is why a team that lost nicely to SJ last year is in the cup finals this year. The impact of having a quicker and better puck… Read more »
It’s right up there with calling Malkin a #2 center. It’s ridiculous.
Preds are going to be hard to beat.
Their 0 center model is quite scary.
Few games ago tva by mistake showed pens Vs preds. When they were suppose to put sens Vs pens. Let’s see if that will happen for real
Nope
Maybe our insider can work on this but apparently Sheary may have been dealing with some off ice issues… this has been discussed as a potential rationale for his spotty play at least online. Sullivan has commented about the team working with him, any ideas? Either that or the net is reading too much into his slump
How would you think Depaoli could figure this out? His only access to the team is waiting for someone with actual sources to report it.
That’s the point lol
yeah, he’s like 5’5″ and he has played about 200 games in the past 2 years and he gets his a$s beat because he is a midget. he is a boarderline NHLer because of his size. he has nothing left in the tank.
That a girl. Avoid the comments below froyo. Fleury owns your assholle. Never forget that.
And his wife’s.
Funny, he was a massive part of the win last year! Also were you not balking at the idea of Murray “getting tired” last year. I know I use this word to describe you a lot but it’s so fucking accurate… hypocrite!
how is it so hard to comprehend that it is more difficult for a guy who is 5’5″ to play in the NHL than a guy who is 6’1″?
Considering how well he played most of last year and how massive an impact he had for this same team as the won a cup only a year ago? Keep trying dumb fuckk
TK 2.0
You mean how you’re Yoda 2.0?
does anyone think they may resign kunitz for a yr deal at the end of this yr? kinda like Cullen did
they should
When will you address stans questions below? Why are you avoiding them?
I could see that, sure. His hands are gone – he can still skate, forecheck, he’s pretty useful up and down the lineup in short stints. I woulnd’t mind seeing him back at all – at a highly reduced rate, obviously. Hes’ clearly not a $4M player anymore.
I’d do it in a heart beat for 1 million or under
Do you guys remember a year ago when Yoda thought we were at the end of the line with this team? Said we needed to tear it down? And now they’re on the brink of a second straight finals appears after “our prophet” decreed the end of an era? Cause…I remember that.
Blow….. It…. Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

….and then something happened….the saint got concussed and there was a rookie goaltender who was capable of not melting down in the post season…..
This has been asked before – I’ll ask it again – if goaltending was their only problem…why was there a need to “blow it up?” On top of that…considering what Fleury showed this year (and quite honestly, what he showed in 2015 and 2014…), how can anyone argue goaltending was their only problem? Nevermind, putting all of that aside, you were still bitchingg about “blowing it up” in March, long after Fleury had been concussed and Murray had taken the reigns. So, aside from those 3-4 inconsistencies (i seriously lost count), yes – our “prophet” called it.
Isn’t interesting how he also happens to forget Murray’s meltdown and being yanked in the CF last year when he goes on his rants about Fleury melting down?

Hey yoda… if you took an important test… for anything and were as accurate as you are on said test as you are with your claims, what would be your test score?
Hint, this last pile of shitt has you below 10%
I remember. Just another example of “the prophet” being completely wrong and utterly clueless.
No hearing for Wingels.
The NHL should form a department of player safety.
That’s great! Great post!
mike milburry said it was no big deal. he’s still butt hurt over the ulf on cam neeley hit
No one cares for your two cents… fuckk off
This is why I love your posts!
If anyone knows about butt hurt, it’s you Yogurt.
#hockeyplay
What a joke
Here’s what I love about our resident idiot. In 1 post he calls the Sense garbage but then in the next post raves about how great Murray looks against that garbage. He’s a living, breathing contradiction.
#fraudalert
I’m still raving about last nights blow out, mostly the 1st period saves from game four that played such a huge role! #fraudslovecompany
#cultofstbleury
Why haven’t you responded you what Stan mentioned… about the Guentzel article etc?
#zerolovespinkmasks
Haha, there is literally nothing you can say on that subject that will change his fuckwn ridiculous you looked looked #yodafearspink
if you call me so clueless, why did i make the same call that the coach who is going to win the cup made? i said murray needs to go in because he is the better player and that’s the move sullivan made. so if you call me an idiot, you have to call sullivan an idiot too. #saintlylove #4miracles #sainthood #cult #smiles>skill
13 games… called a melt down. Guaranteed Murray to start game one of round three, you literally guessed at over a dozen things before you had some shit stick to the wall #fuckfacefraud1617!
I was going to point out how dumb you look when you brag about getting 1 guess right out of 100’s of tries but zero beat me to the punch.
#revisionist history
#fake news
#alternatefacts
You didn’t make the same call – you said he’d be in for Game 1. That’s why you owe me $5k. #Fraud #TearItDown
I wonder if Mike Sullivan is being outcoached still? What a terrible last article. using “insider info” haha
How crazy is it that Nashville needed injuries to both of their top two centers before they got to a point where they were in as bad of a shape as Montreal was going into the playoffs…where some idiots thought they were a cup contender?? #0CenterModel
Hope Murray can get these guys amped up for Game 6.
I think Karlsson tapped out today. The Pens need to end this on Tuesday. I see the ten mile stare in Ottawa. The change in lines is the difference not the goaltending change.
Jesus fucken Christ D… do you dab his dickk dry after you’re done suckin the semen from Murrays balls or just put it away? The idea that the team is suddenly playing with speed and passion because of a save is probably the dumbest fucken thing I’ve ever read and both Sammich and yoda frequent this board.
The goaltender creates the vibe. If the goalie is nervous, the team is nervous. If he is calm the team is calm. Murray is way better than the saint. The saint is a backup. #smilesdontstoppucks, #clutofstbleury, #tattletale
Doesn’t think line chemistry is a thing but believes Murrays presence simply makes the guys play better and that’s the explanation for their outburst today #moron #hypocrite #fraud
Speaking of dabbing dickks dry, I believe this was yodas way of stepping in for D in the fashion mentioned above.
Didn’t guentzel just write an article for the players tribune talking about how lose Fleury keeps the entire team? Pretty much the opposite of what our fraud claims? #TearItDown
You forgot #rootforthelogo
Literally nobody has said that Fleury projects anything less than calm and a loose atmosphere. Yet again, you’re talking out of your load filled ass. Now go get my $5k
If that was the case then there should have been no need for a change because Fleury was the runaway MVP before game 3. He was stellar in nearly ever game making HUGE saves early in nearly every game while the team was being greatly outplayed. I think this has to confirm that Yoda is Depaoli’s alias because there’s just no way 2 people could be this clueless.
Fleury would have lost that game
“Where this series turned was the big saves by Murray in game 4”
https://media.giphy.com/media/beioFFLyB9O0M/giphy.gif
There is no doubt Murray is the better goalie. He has been great.
Hes been no better than Fleury. The difference is the team in front of him.
yoda is by far the dumbest person with internet access.
We needed both to get here and will need Murray to keep playing this way for another cup. Wouldn’t be in this position without both.
Without question. Murray has looked great these past two when they’ve needed him.
Exactly.
You couldn’t ask more from your backup. The saint was great this year.
I agree. What Murray has done the last 2 games coming in as the backup has been amazing.
Arguably… sam is up there and I think D went all in with the Murray comment
the senators are garbage
Where’s my $5k
