Penguins/NHL
Capitals 3 – 
Penguins 1
The Washington Capitals are Metropolitan Division Champions for the third straight season in defeating the Penguins 3-1 on Sunday night at the PPG Paints Arena.
As the Capitals are locked into the playing the first wildcard in Round 1, Pittsburgh with two games remaining can mathematically still finish anywhere from 2nd-3rd place in the Metropolitan Division to the top wildcard spot or the second wildcard spot.
Off great goaltending from Philipp Grubauer, the Capitals won the momentum swings tonight as they were 5-for-5 on the penalty kill and very opportunistic offensively.
Tom Wilson scored a beautiful goal off a deflection 23 seconds into the third that iced this one to put the Capitals ahead 3-0.
For the Capitals, this was just one of those complete game type performances where they rose to the occasion in a number of areas to come out of Pittsburgh with the win.
Post-Game Buzz
— Washington controlled the play at even-strength in being +8 in scoring chances, 55% in possession and out-scoring Pittsburgh 3-1.
From the Penguins end, though, they didn’t play a bad game by any means. The Capitals just made more plays at critical moments to get the ‘W’. The Penguins might have went 0-5 on the power play but they had some great looks they just couldn’t get by Grubauer.

— One of Matt Hunwick’s biggest issues this season as a Penguin has been the inability to stay in his proper lanes with his gap control.
While Malkin lost his man in the neutral zone, the T.J. Oshie first period goal saw Hunwick badly out of position and almost on top of Jamie Oleksiak who is the right D that led to the Penguins having no line of defense
. If Hunwick’s six feet to the left where he should be, he easily gets to Oshie to breakup the shot or force a contested shot.
The Dmitry Orlov goal against was another frustrating goal for the Penguins to give up defensively where Olli Maatta is too passive in a situation he had support to step up with two backcheckers.

— Evgeni Malkin’s thoughts on the Capitals winning the division again:
“We [Pittsburgh Penguins] never win the division…..It’s not a surprise.”
Malkin did say the obvious in the Penguins wanting home-ice in Round 1, “we play better at home,” said Malkin.
— Patric Hornqvist scored his 27th goal of the season in the loss and what a season he’s put together. He was force as always in the net-front area.
— This was an opponent where the Penguins missed Derick Brassard, especially with Phil Kessel clearly not healthy as evident tonight. Kessel to his credit is someone who doesn’t miss a day of work so it was no surprise to see him play through an injury tonight.[/hide]
Cutch 6 for 7 last night with a 3 run walk off. I hope he starts tearing it up.
I hope Sullivan decides to have the right backup in place this year. vs Philly in 2018, Jarry 3-0 with 5 goals against in 120min vs philly. Murray 1-0 with 6 goals against in 123 minutes of action vs Philly. DeSmith, no action vs Philly. In his last interview, scum Sully didn’t sound committed to DeSmith being the #2 for the playoff run. Good luck pens, get that 3pete on!! I want another parade!!
Fun fact: MAF carried a sub .900 sv% in 6 of 11 post seasons.
And he’s French.
fun fact 3 cups
1*
Hall of Famer, most likely top 3 all time in NHL history in wins, top 20 all time in shutouts, very respectful sv% ALL TIME, very respectful gaa ALL TIME, probably top 10 or higher games played ALL TIME. This guy gets overshadowed by playing with Sid and Geno, but he played with shit on defense. I’m torn here cause I wanted him in black and gold FOREVER, but I enjoy seeing him play and put up great numbers for a team that puts a focus on defense during the regular season.
Yep, 24th in the NHL is verrrry respectful.
And I guess I missed his HOF induction. That post is Sam level absurd.
Care to put money where your mouth is? If you think the 3rd winningest goalie of all time isn’t making it to the hall of fame, then you’re worse than Sam.
Rags fire vignault
Funny if they hire DB
Funny kid rock was inducted wwe Hall of fame and said he would like to body slam bunch of democrats lol. It will be hard to body slam fat democrats like npl
Kid Rock is a phony muthafucka tho…
Is anyone else’s Avs broadcast blury when the camera moves ?
Bracket Challenge at NHL.com league called TIOPS password: TIOPS Come on you experts get on board.
Last time we played Philly in the playoffs, MAF carried a sv% of .834 and a GAA of 4.63.
Don’t worry Murray in net GAA will be 5.00. Special edition for the playoffs for that series magic number will be 6 in order to win for him
I’m not worried, because that dumpster fire is in Vegas now.
I guess the Avs NHL station does not know how the playoff bracket works. They have the Pens playing BJackets.
Really happy Murray will be in net against the Flyers and not Fleury again…
https://deadrabbit.barstoolsports.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/19/fleury-beachball.gif
Make sure you can update us Murray gif vs the flyer’s. Looking forward to it
Nathan with a goal looks like avs making the playoffs. It’s the same Nathan that same wanted to come to Pittsburgh for the Russian and maattaa
And then the Pens proceeded to win 2 Stanley Cups… dumb. as. fukk.
If the Pens can’t beat the Flyers god help us.
Fleury having his worst game if his season
He’s in playoff form
Philly vs. Pitt in round 1??
Avs play the Blues tonight at 9 ET for final playoff spot. What are the chances of that?!
Same as trump winning a second term
So, slim?
Avs or blues boys.
What’s the odds happens to be they play head to head for that same final spot.
I think Giroux may have just pushed himself into the top three for MVP.
Top 3 player of all time when he plays Fleury
That is not a Penguins problem.
Buccos must have had a lot of rain outs to stil be 3-0.
DePaoli, can I write a guest column ?
Hope the Pens can win their last 2 games.
Sam and NPL should just hug it out.
Why don’t you hold hands with him and go to the next hot dog event on July 4th and support his idol Joey chestnut
I’ll go if you and Phil Kessell come also. It will be cool, 4 friends hanging out together. Maybe we can ger autographs!
Bur but but…
I’m not American and fat to be part of that disgusting event
You 3 amigos can go. Maybe invite tbj233 on your way there
What does being fat have to do with it? Are skinny people unable to hang out in your 3rd world province?
Terrible bus crash in Saskatchewan. Prayers to the players and family. SJHL junior team was on their way back. Just thinking of all the bus trips and I hope things turn out as well as they can.
14 dead
Updated to 15… Chris Joseph’s son was among them. Fucken tragic 🙁
Truly tragic each I time I look at the picture of the team and realize the lives cut short. Puts sports in perspective.
Anybody know who lead the team in game-winner-assists this year?
Nope buy I know who led the team with penalties again
You dont know cuz game winner assists is a dumb fucklng made up stat
The same guy who l led them in scoring, right?
I know you bandwagon’s just watch pens hockey and don’t care other teams
But for those that do. Blues vs avalanche is a must watch tomorrow
Same what are you doing venturing outside the retard pool.
It’s my fault for mentioning it on here. It is kind of funny though seeing others respond to his idiocy.
Pens have looked much better since Brassard went down.
Pens are better with Brassard in the lineup. Even if you don’t like the move.
I like the move for next season.
wouldn’t know haven’t seen Brassard put a good game in yet
But Reaves was a gem?
Brassard was on like a 7 game point streak before he was hurt. Chemistry was still a bit of a question but they were performing.
Wow ZC you do have an issue with Reaves don’t you. Its ok admit it the healing will start. 🙂
We paid too much for a lot of reasons. We weakened our D core by trading Cole without receiving something back. We have maybe 2 top 4D and 4 5-6 D now if lucky. Our 3C was being filled by #15 who has the chemistry we need with #81.
Murray suffers another concussion congratulating DeSmith with a headbutt.
Did you see the camera catch Murray asking DeSmith how he made all those routine saves.
“So the puck is supposed to stay out of the net? I have to write that on my stick.” MM.
Sam on DK site arguing lol
Haha the reactions are great. I remember that “is there actually a human being behind that keyboard” feeling. Actually, I guess it never really left.
Before you clowns make rumours I have no subscription on that site.
Pens get home ice advantage
Who knew!!
Thank goodness you’re here to relay that. I thought we were done for the year.
Pens scoring 4 goals to keep the pace when playoffs starts and Murray is in net
Hornqvist deal looking awesome before it starts lol
He has been the hottest pen lately I think he has 12 goals in last 16-17 games
Guys a fucken beauty!
I’ve said or before he replaced dupper. He is the heart of this team one of my favourites on the team the guy is a work horse. And having a new born child is making him play better. He should have kids every year lol
Nice to see DeSmith playing well. He’s done so more often than not. I wonder if they’ll stick with Jarry in the playoffs if Murray goes down.
So you know Murray is a fraud you expect him to go down before playoffs starts lol
Since that’s clearly what I said, dumba$$. Any one of the 16 starting goalies can potentially get injured. At least he’ll go into the playoffs as a starter, unlike your boy toy Fleury who got outplayed almost every year and benched.
Our real third like center looks great doesn’t he?
Ladies and Gentlemen…The most potent PP in the league. Ugh.
“This is officer farva… do you need my assistance”
Give me a liter of cola.
The real question is will the Penguins let Brassard go home with Ottawa?
“Ya I’ll get a litre of cola”
Do we have liter of cola?
“Geno! Geno! Geno!” – sold out PPG Paints Arena
I hope he hits two but I’d take one from Sheary, i commented all year about him flirting with 20 despite a shit year and that would be bang on haha
Nicely done Sid…lol
D saving it up for the playoffs?
It’s Ottawa lol
Did we not play Columbus yesterday in a huge game?
Were there not playoff implications to this “Ottawa” game?
Amazing selfish penalty from our russian . I guess he gave up for the pursue of the Hart trophy and safe to say he will win the title pens most penalty taker again
“I’m the smartest hockey man all time” – blatantly ignores the Ottawa transgression that instigated the play for a chance to **** on Malkin. How’d you feel about Crosby’s 9 crosschecks that he got away with?
For a minute I thought we were making progress with some honesty..
Glad you’ll finally admit Malkin is amazing.
Someone should start trolling The Whistler on dk’s site. That avatar just begs for it.
Send npl he is good at that
Depaoli, do you think the Pirates are going to be able to survive the loss of barry bonds?
I think I am a psychic. Pens will win vs jackets and even Murray lies pens will need 4 to win I assure you all its 5
Nah, if you were psychic, youd have seen Marty St. Louis retiring before suggesting the Pens get him over Kessel.
Let’s breakdown the loss to the Caps for another week.
Hey zero I agree about the letang statement also want to add when they said letang will change his style of play I find he lost that nastiness in his play when be played with that edge also I might be wrong but noticed he lost a footing this season I find he is a bit slower then usual. And based in that one year can’t throw in the towel and want him gone like some used to want him gone not only based injuries bug because of his salaries when I used to say not many players can log… Read more »
I wish Letang would do half of what he does.
Like Rick Nash
Like Bobby Ryan
Soon jack eichel will join that list too
But no one can top it off all time great. Fraud dipietro you might not remember him since you just started watching NHL since Crosby era and he was. Ever playing only his name was still registered In the NHL
Naw Eichels a good player man. He’s no McDavid which he will be unfairly compared too but had he not been hurt he hits 30 goals and 80 points, not bad
The way npl doesn’t watch full games during the season because it’s considered meaningless D doesn’t updates this site . They are both waiting for the playoffs to spam with nonsense pens excuses
You’ve been making excuses for as long as you’ve been posting on this board. Malkin is lazy, Kessel is a Fraud, Murray sucks, Sheary is TK 2.0, Schultz is a fraud, on and on and on. Even after winning 2 cups, you continue to cry like the fat French pu$$y you are.
He literally made an excuse for every soft goal allowed by Fleury in the gifs below.
Why don’t you get clips of Murray how he lets in soft goals no need to we see it almost every game when he is in net

When the team had no structure the minute they were down the game was done because they had. No way to get to the goalie all shots were on goalie logo with no secondary chances it was all fleury fault you dumb fuckkk vokoun was in net vs bruins why team couldn’t even score with all that fire power.
Someone needs an editor.
Sam, WHY was Vokoun in the net?
Remember this beauty? http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2593983/fleuryLOL_medium.gif

This one isnt from the playoffs, but man… https://d13csqd2kn0ewr.cloudfront.net/uploads/image/file/10224/cropped_capture-2.gif
Remember, Sam said it was the defense that hung Fleury out to dry…

Think we all remember the 2012 series against Philly…

Another one!!
http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2593843/fleuryfalldown_medium.gif
Look at the d. Look at orpig
It was a clear lane!
Fluery decided on the canonball save selection there. Hard to believe it didn’t work out for him.
Looks like a power play goal and seems like the pk unit is lost specially orpig
IT WAS A CLEAR LANE
Fluke goal that came back from the boards
Wouldnt happen to Murray.
This goal was the game changer offside goal.
That was a beachball he couldnt stop!
I cannot stop laughing at this GIF hahaha so good. I felt terrible for the guy at the time but despite it being 3 feet offside it was a tough one to give up
Good one npl.
Almost every goal Murray let’s in is a soft goal now get lost fatso
Somehow sid distract or hit fleury on play
Hahaha WHAAATT??!!
It’s rare you see positioning this bad by an NHL goalie.
Fleury sucks
Boone Fleury
How did you know?! I could have be talking about Boone Springsteen or Boone Lee or Boone Dock-Saint but you knew I was talking bout I Am Boone Fleury. Hahaha you genius.
Over/under on DePaoli posting fresh content before the playoffs start
Pens will lose tonights game and he will have a massive write up on why they will lose in 4
Whatever happened to Stanchion. Did he go the way of Beerman?
Stain closed his account when he discovered you can give multiple thumbs down. Now operates on one account called tbj233
It’s funny to see all the bandwagons jump off the MAF bandwagon. Could swear that Yoda and I were the only fleury haters on this site for years.
There were people that blamed him for everything and there are people that think he should be in the HOF. Neither is true, so calling them both out isn’t jumping on a bandwagon.
I also think he should win the vezina this year. Bur he might get robbed based on games he played
Of course you would. Just like Letang should win the Norris. Giroux should win the Hart and every award should go to a French Canadian.
If he earns a little hardware this year or going forward he can make a much stronger case. First ballot is a doubt unless he takes a Vezina home but if he wins 500 it would be hard to say he don’t get a fair look as it’s only been done a couple times. I’m not sure the hof can be so easily dismissed at this point tho, winning awards will make it more likely. All depends one Vargas going forward. Will say one thing for them, maybe it was playing down to the opponent of missing Marchessault but they… Read more »
*on Vegas… love to know what one Vargas is Apple?
That’s how you interpret it? You don’t see it as a directed at sam? Fleury was a great goalie that had a rough period with this team end of story. He was hung out to dry more nights than not but things turned around for him for the better when Bales arrived and he started seeing a shrink. I truly miss the guy and wish they didn’t have to move him. That said the Murray haters have a very short memory and forget that the younger goaltender when facing the same competition playing behind the same D out performed the… Read more »
I want to say when fleury was here I was happy and admit he let some soft goals but people wanted him gone so bad as if it was his fault when they lost everytime. It’s was sad he played under the shadow of other star players when team won Crosby and others got glory when team lost fleury got the blame. And when unknown goalie like Murray came along never got same heat because he had not high expectations like fleury since he was first round. So because of some bandwagon fans wanted fleury gone and saw him always… Read more »
Pens were not patient with niemi he played well with the habs have them chance go win. Pens will miss him in playoffs.
Yes and no… he was the canary in a coal mine. He was evidence that something was broken early in the season for the Pens but he was also garbage in Florida. He has had a lot better go at things in Montreal sure but it took him until what? February to work it, that’s a long time to be patient with a back up who, I agree was tossed under a bus but, was very shakey early in the season.
The point you have missed since the whole issue started was WE DIDNT HAVE A FUCKEN CHOICE! They didn’t simply dump MAF, he was a casualty of expansion. With the teams cap and recent history the right move was made period. You need to understand that and I know it’s very hard for you to do so. While I don’t disagree Murray was relatively unproven for the long haul that doesn’t mean we move the younger cheaper option that had the stronger performance of the two. Based on age do you know how plausible it is that people will be… Read more »
I am biased because of morons like npl and stain and stain always wanted Sid gone. As for letang must be his worst season but still a good D another 50 point season for him. Also want to compare or shitt letang then people should look at burns ,Keith, karlsson look at their +/- those this mean their wants their star D gone too ? Or only here in Pittsburgh based on one bad season.
No one ever wanted Sid gone, especially Stan. Guy clearly knew the game but like everyone else he became a target because of your anti-US and anti-Russian nonsense. What did you think would happen on a board made of fans of a US based franchise made up of primarily US citizens? As for the Letang argument AGAIN! Burns has never been a good defender period, we know this and it might be a factor in why the SJ Sharks are one of the games alltime chokers. Karlsson had a career worst year and Ottawa is out. Keith looks like age… Read more »
He had the same expectations as Fleury. He just didn’t constantly melt down in the playoffs like Fleury did you dip$hit. Fleury was abysmal in the playoffs for the better part of his time here. You like him because his French-Canadian. Just admit it. Your a fat racist that makes no sense.
Constantly melt down? Only meltdown he had was vs habs. Philly was a free for all for both sides with no defence. And the series vs rags the year st Louis retired he was the mvp. The team couldn’t scored in front of him
Fleury had meltdowns constantly
Jesus zero that was a long post. Bottom line they both suck. Where’s Zack.
Watching Subban play some terrific hockey here… thought it was all MAF but apparently it’s all the Vegas goalies that are awesome!
Their winning percentage with or without MAF is about the same. A lot of people wouldn’t want to hear that, though.
McDavid has changed all that… my god he’s insane
Holy shit, check out the call on what should have been the oilers 5th. I can’t stop laughing… so bad
Oh and -5ammich… don’t bother. Got free tix from the brother in law who figured I’d wanna see Fleury…
Amazing enough that they lost they needed 5 to win for subban. No wonder you find Murray amazing .
When you watch a whole game you watch the kid shut a team down for 40 minutes and in the last 20 the games best offensive player take over. No wonder you don’t understand anything about the game at all…
Someone wake DePaoli up.
Again, why is Letang in the PK?
Pens need 5 to win. Same nailed it.
To be fair, he might have been talking about Bill Murray
They better get a quality “backup” for next season.
“Right away you know it was I am Cait” – what are you trying to say sam?
Something about Boone Springsteen.
What a second effort by Sheary on that goal!
Who wants a hotdog?!
Kessel is gonna win some games for the Pens in the playoffs… again.
Devils and Bluejackets punched their tickets.
Letang is gonna cost this team some games in the playoffs
So is Murray.
I’d have to see it to believe it. Hasn’t happened yet.
Because team always bailed him out like this game
Bob is nearing Fleury meltdown mode
To soon?
Bob looks a mess. Keep shooting!
Sheary bailing out Letang
That’s what happens when you don’t take the body. The last two goals showed that.
Oh Sherrie!
2 time Stanley Cup champion, Conor Sheary
Nice play Letang…
He’s a complete nightmare.
That goal was on Dumo as well. Take the body and stop looking at the puck. Those 2 suck together.
I’m remembering a lot of big saves by Murray tonight. Jackets with a lot of high quality scoring chances
Great shot by 58 there. Cole on the ice again.
Yep. Good pressure. Then a bad pinch by Maatta.
Kris Jenner!!!
Watching racist superman on YouTube. They should make fat slob superman
Bruce Lee would beat him up
Would Boone Lee fair as well, though?
Just watch it. I don’t think any of Bruce’s can beat up racist supermans
End of 2nd period good news pens still only need minimum 4 goals and not 5 goals YET. For fraud Murray
I wonder what Bruce Springsteen thinks about this.
Hey Sam,
https://media1.tenor.com/images/6f15ef0394c7e8123af9a73af7ca1cd0/tenor.gif
Cole was out there that entire time Pens drove possession. How are they doing this??!!
Npl you think Boone Jenner related to your idol Bruce
It’s Caitlyn. Don’t be insensitive.
Right away you knew it was I am Cait. I guess people know right away npls taste of lifestyle
You said Jenner you dumbfuck
Hahahahahaha
Those Bruces don’t share the same last name. It’s unreal how idiotic you are.
He edited his entire post, lmao! What a failure in life.
https://media.giphy.com/media/Pgy4Na8aRyBuE/giphy.gif
Ladies and gentleman. It is official pens need minimum 4 tonight for our 2 time Stanley cup winner goalie
Matt Calvert shouldn’t look this good.
Pens really drove possession there, despite Cole being on the ice. #Witchcraft
Goalies will forever be judged not by the saves they make, but by the ones they don’t. #murray
Hey npl since you like the number 2 alot. 10 shots 2 goals for our 2 time Stanley cup winner goalie. Looks promising pens Stanley cup journey as long as they can pump minimum 4 a game your guy will be the hero and get all the glory
Dont be bitter. If Fleury didnt embarrass the entire organization with his play in the playoffs, hed still be here. They found a guy who can get the job done in the clutch, you should be happy about that as a Pens fan.
Am I happy pens won yes I’ve said it my concern was Murray ain’t ready full season + playoffs and it’s becoming true. His not a true number 1 goalie. Reason he won team played very well in front of him and he was well rested both times
Like this year but difference is pens dont have same guys diving in front of the puck for him therefore this fraud is more exposed then before
I appreciate your concern (not really) but lets remember your concern about Phil Kessel not being good enough to be a valuable contributor on a Cup contender, thus suggesting Marty St. Louis the day before be retired.
Dude if kessel played on the first line he would have half the point he has today. He plays on 3rd line while other teams are concentrated on Crosby. And rest of his points he gets on 1st unit of pp
Wait… you’re saying if Kessel, a very good player and solid shooter, played with Crosby giving him the best winger he has had since Hossa (and away from that offence killer Johnston) Kessel would fail? Interesting
Fleury gone yet ?
Yes Sam. We lost him in the Expansion Draft. Now you know the rest of the story.
You’ll have to excuse my friend. He’s a little slow.
Hes been gone the last 3 seasons. Coincidentally, when the Pens started winning Cups.
Cole was on the ice for that. How did they do that?
Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam!
I’ve said it many times this fool spams this site with his presence. He brings nothing to this site
Awwwe, is chubster upset Kessel scored?
Why would I be upset I’m used to it almost every time pens are on pp. Chubby or Russian will have a point
That’s a good thing if you’re a pens fan.
LOL, all you spew is Murray hate… you literally spam the board with anti-Murray posts
At first I got a kick out of the name carramrod but now I get it’s because you’re actually officer Farva
From the look of it, he provided an excellent screen as well. Right after 2 big saves by Murray.
Pens going after Jackets All Star Ian Cole
So as long as MM only has to face 1 shot he is ok. 2 and he is terrible.
2 is his magic number i guess. E.g. 2 Stanley Cups
So does Sheary, what is your point?
He is a moron him and a few clowns here judge players based on box score and Stanley cups doesn’t matter if they suckk or not. That’s their maximum capacity to understand hockey
Theres a reason Murray has 2 and Fleury only has 1. The former doesnt shlt down his own leg when the games matter most.
Goaltending matters a great deal in the playoffs, bub. Moreso than the teams 9th/10th best forward. So i guess my point is, youre an idiot.
Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam!
Are the Pens in Montreal? So quiet there.
D, Pens play tonight?
The Penguins never play D.
“Ian Cole is better than Bobby Orr” – TIOPS message board
They both have two Cups lol
Depaoli, anything you care to post leading up to this pivotal playoff match up tonight?
Must be changing diapers again.
Montreal’s season over yet?
It will be Saturday when Toronto’s American saviour makes a mockery of them. Not that anyone from Montreal will see, as they packed it in months ago.
Since September
Same and I are pulling for Columbus tonight
Trudeau hates Montreal
Brassard out again.
Interesting question if we play CBJ in first round how many gwg will Cole have ?
Fleury not with pens to steal this series how many games will need minimum 4 or 5 for murray.
Tonight is a must watch even if pens are down 2-0. Fans should not turn off their TV right away. Because that could happen often in the first round and then ratings watched by bandwagon pens fans will drop .
So please npl tbj and mastartri watch the game for 60 mins for once in your lives
The real question is how many game winning assists will he have? We all know the game winning assist is more important than the goal.
“The answer is…. 4”
None.
I wonder if DePaoli still thinks the pirates are undefeated
The fact that they got the City and County to build and upkeep a park makes them undefeated the rest is just profit.
Today is the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther kings assassination.
Are you accepting the duel? Quit posting until an answer is given.

Soon when is the duel and will it be on ppv? I’d pay $99 to watch it.

look at all those useless canadians..
Sam sucks
Same, I think you owe an answer to the challenge of a duel.
I’d rather play NJ than Columbus in the first round. Beware the Ian Cole revenge series.
I think NJ is faster then the Pens and Kinkaid has their number. Columbus has a much better and deeper Defense and Bobrovsky is playing much better then Murray. The Penguins need to get their house in order fast. I personally believe Ian Cole left a big hole on the defense and I feel MAF not being around is hurting MM. That and he has Beau Bennett Disease. This team looks exhausted, lazy and uninterested on most nights. I know people say “they will turn it up come the playoffs” but you can not just turn off exhaustion and terrible… Read more »
Trump should have military surrounding Florida and not let any scumbag polluting other states with their presence

Now that president Trump wants border with Mexico guarded by us military is there a way he can do the same rule for fat people eating junk getting fat and not work anymore.
You know nothing about Trump if you think hed do that
Trudeau is awesome. Literally the only thing Canada has going for them.
You should move to Canada and bunk with Same.
Nah ill wait this mess out for a couple more years.
Just remember all your pain after Hillary’s loss. The pant suit collection you had to toss. I’m guessing you’d be near suicidal if Trump won again
His black cockk matters ain’t working anymore so his home jobless now
Hopefully my home can collect unemployment. Sounds like its hit a rough patch.
He’s pretty much a lock to win again.
He’s the current favorite at 3/1. Bernie at 6/1 and Biden at 10/1. I actually like Biden with those odds.
That reminds me of Always Sunny in Philly.
Get lost dude. Literally get lost and while you at it kill yourself and make sure don’t be found. You are the most useless piece of shitt living in America
Thats it. Ive had enough of your shlt. I challenge you to a duel.
Interesting article from PGH Hockey now. Coles notes… The forwards have been real bad at getting back to support the D and tenders this year and that, more than any other issue, is the biggest obstacle to overcome for this team to so anything in April. Effort more than system… so if this team is just tired it’s gonna be a longer summer. If it’s just a lack of try… that is a switch that can be thrown come the playoffs but I worry about the rust from not playing that way much of the year.

Yeah shit defense with no depth and a shakey, often injuried goalie who is way off his game with no good back up is still the biggest problem. That and Letang is never sure what team he plays for.
Wait… so you think there is no truth to the idea? Have you not been watching… all year we’ve seen lazy back checking. We’ve seen Sullivan erupt at poor coverage and shitty back checks. My god why is it so hard for people to pick up on six jobs as opposed to 2 or 3. Offence screws up there is the D to bail me out, D screws up the goalie is there… goalie screws up it’s easy to look at him, as long as you’re simple. It’s a good article because it points out a grander issue that most… Read more »
I love the instant validation when my views differ from Sam’s. That obese little boy is never right about anything.

Trump makes me miss President Obama more and more each day.
Fortunately you’re in the minority, unless of course you think CNN is a reflection of public opinion.
Im in the minority? Nearly 3 million more people voted for Clinton, an awful candidate, over Trump. Common sense says that majority misses Obama too.
The international community seems to feel like you do

Some bias but factual reporting.. so I will wanna hear what the opinion is on “fake” vs “biased” news is before the source is simply brushed off. From anyone except -5am because we all know he’d fuck up a glass of water
I talk with a lot of coworkers in Europe and the conversation has certainly shifted in the past 3 years. There was much more respect for the US then than there is now. Regardless of policy, diplomacy matters in foreign affairs.
You must be hight. You guys are a laughing stock since bill Clinton and got worst with bush. They only tell you last 3 years to not hurt you feelings. Fat slob.
Ive never been hight in my life.
I would talk circles around you with respect to economics and politics… you are a naive populist slave that would likely hang himself trying to tie his shoes.
Laughable. If you’re European co workers feel differently than something is surely wrong with America.
Personally I have grown to understand the feelings of those that thought things were not going well for them and voted for the high-school president candidate but I am also of the ilk that the feeling are misplaced and that the current scenario has a poor finish for most. I mean now this personal vendetta with Amazon? He is crying foul over their expense management which has allowed for minimal to 0 taxes paid but yet ran on this exact idea. He was proclaimed a hero for discussing the loop holes but instead of fixing them he created more… and… Read more »
High school president ? how is Trudeau doing other then his marijuana’s talk since he is PM. Pure clown only thing be is good at make the country worst by filling up with unnecessary refugees
Another 16k Africans coming to Canada because Israel doesn’t want them
Now that welfare has been the lowest in Quebec since last ,25 years they can fuckk up by filling up with lazy people ready to leach from the system. Already some areas they are kicking out old people and building new condos for refugees. Worst is yet to come. All thanks to zerotools hero. Mr Trudeau.
LMMFAO… Quebec still has some of the highest spending in social programs in the entire country. You accomplish this, and balance a budget, based on a transfer arrangement that gifts the province billions in revenues that should be used across the country for the same programs. It is literally support from government spending that helps your province achieve its measures. You don’t even understand how your own province works for fuckk sakes yet you have an issue with governments that promote the idea that the government should support it’s people and long for one that looks to slash these programs…… Read more »
You have an issue with Pot? I don’t care for the shit but the revenue potential for a substance more innocuous than alcohol is high and if you are not looking at that you’re a dipshit… and it is you so again good job. Treat it like booze with respect to legal age and intoxication behind the wheel… charge for Grow Op licences and take the criminal element out of it. Helps reduce crime, much is contrived by bullshitt laws, and it becomes a cash cow. I am sure you enjoy a beer so opposition to this is both hypocritical… Read more »
CNN. Clinton News Network. Anytime you want to watch comedy tune in that channel
Of course you would miss obama more. Because he supports more fat lazy slobs then Trump does
But youre fat Sam…
Pm Trudeau makes me miss PM Harper more and more each day
Case in point… Harper government slashed and cut including silencing sciences yet took 7 consecutive surpluses from the prior government and turned them into 160 billion in deficits over the next 6 years. So how does a government not fund anything yet bleed money? One of the worst economic records of any PM all time Add to that the human rights violation that led to the supreme court awarding Khdar a 10 million dollar payout and negotiating the deal that led to the armoured vehicles being sold to the House of Saud, one of the worst violators on the planet.… Read more »
Sam the chubster is providing everyone with some quality entertainment.
Happy retirement sedin twins these two were magic sometimes made me wonder he they had a third eye behind their heads they were amazing . I know most bandwagon’s here Dont feel same way since they are stuck on the penguins wagon and don’t know what goes around the league. And yes they are retiring end of season but they would’ve still be a good 3rd line duo in Pittsburgh better then what we have now even though they are retiring their hockey vision is way superior then alot other players in the league even at 38
“Good third line duo” at a combined 15 million… you’re such a fucken moron lol. Kessel has more goals and only ten less points this year than the two of them combined! You bitch about Malkin and Kessel, two rings on one hand and three on the other yet praise two of the softest stars the game has ever seen even compared to Kessel… at least he plays through the garbage. Now it’s your turn to attempt to make a point by bringing up some sort of absurd comparison that effectively destroys your own point completely! Worst fan in the… Read more »
Yeah because they would ask that money right. You are a clown you stir shitt out of nothing go join the media or something you’d be fine there and fan dumb fan base like npl and tbj supporting your fake news
Reason chubby is having record breaking season he plays on 3rd line and first pp unit. Take Sid out of the first line and use chubby in first line you would see how his points will plunge and be shutdown vs top pairings
How much glue do you eat on a daily basis, I am agents?
You are a disgraceful Canadian the way you watch the game and observe. You are like the rest of the dummies here. Fake Canadian. Wannabe American
What’s the fist language where you live? In Canada the primary language is English… I’ll wait…
Also the Sedins… Swedish
I’ve forgot more about this game than you’ll ever know douche bag!
The rest of the people on here are American, so how does that make us wanna-bes?
Kids a walking contradiction… cheers for a US based franchise but hates Americans….
Accuses me of “not observing the game like a true Canadian” yet has no appreciation for the game outside of the country… like no one else can play. Fucken retard!
Well, he has scored near this pace his entire career so history is also showing you how stupid you are lol. Fuckk you’re a train wreck lol
That’s what they’ve been getting paid for four years retard! Contracts already existed… you are doing it again, destroying yourself.
Let the record show -5am just suggested adding two more retirees to the roster, they could play with Martin St Louis right? Fucken idiot
That third eye you’re looking for is brown
Keep calm and Sam sucks
We all know you suckk no need to come here and post that on every article .
Worst fan in the base; fucken total loser
A minus 58. Nice touch. Lol
No matter how good your team is, the goalie is going to need to steal a game or two if you hope to win a Cup. When was the last time Murray put out an effort like Grubauer did last night.
When was the last time Grubauer won 2 cups before his rookie season ended?
https://media.giphy.com/media/V1yvdB9mWKDpC/giphy.gif
Blow it up!
dont need to blow it up, just roll 7 D and no goalie.
Or play 5 D and 2 goalies. Quite the strategy Pepper!
Murray sucks. Brassard sucks. Everyone sucks. We get it.
He doesn’t need to team bails him out and he gets the glory. Like last year. When fleury not only stole a game he stole both series for the team and was the mvp for both series then fraud Murray came and team won for him his half of year tactics won’t work anymore since fleury is gone
Worst fan in the base; fucken total loser
Since zerotool won’t do is D can you tell us how many games pens loss vs a back up goalie this year . And provide us the +/- for karlsson, burns and Keith. Letang haters might wanna see that too
Two of those guys missed the playoffs you fucken moron… karlsson had his career worst year for that matter and Keith… down side of his career so ya, I guess the Letang comparisons make sense. As for Burns, one of the worst defenders in the game and always has been… maybe part of the reason SJ has never won. Keep trying this you dumbfuckk lol
It’s fun watching -5am think he has a point to make only to have it torn to shreds then quietly lurking while -5ing every one of the posters he disagrees with
Worst fan in the base; fucken loser lol
Oh look, a minus 10 this time… Just like Kris Letang <3
You probably got promoted now your new number is -10
Clean it up -5ammich… no one knows what the fuckk you’re talking about
Grubauer hasn’t been the Caps “back up” goalie since 2017. He did outplay Murray though, which every goalie in the league seems to do.
Rest Kessel, who cares about the last couple games. JR needed to overpay for a defenseman, sad we gotta go in with the 5/6/7 defensemen we have. Expectations are are still stanley cup or bust for me.
Then you’re going to be disappointed
Well these are some pretty fricken big probelms fellas!!!! LOL
Every team has holes, you just have the Penguins under a microscope for 82 games. Go watch any team for 82 games and you’re gonna point out 2-3 weaknesses. I’ll take Sid, Geno and Phil in a 7 game series all day. It’s gonna come down to secondary scoring as usual, Brassard is gonna have to get it together and carry us in a series this year. The most frustrating thing I saw tonight was Malkin lose his shit tonight. When we can’t control out emotions, that’s when we lose. Malkin and Sid need to control themselves and be leaders… Read more »
The way clowns here have microscope on letang . Check the +/- for karlsson,burns ,Keith. I bet their fans want them traded too but you have scumbagss like npl that brings nothing here and a fake Canadian that have an agenda on letang and bunch of sheep bandwagon’s that follow their stupidity. Just go check these 3 players +/-
Two of those guys missed the playoffs you fucken moron… karlsson had his career worst year for that matter and Keith… down side of his career so ya, I guess the Letang comparisons make sense. As for Burns, one of the worst defenders in the game and always has been… maybe part of the reason SJ has never won. Keep trying this you dumbfuckk lol The best part is just the other day I explained why I put Letang under a microscope and you’re still a guy with his dickk too far up the mans a$$ to see what goes… Read more »
I am fine with Geno showing that emotion last night, as long as he uses it as a tool for the post season. I think it spilled over due to the fact that Grubauer played out of his mind last night despite the Pens throwing everything they could at him. I mean a positive is the 37 or 38 shots…. frustrating that there was next to zero finish but that happens some nights. Only twaats like -5am will overreact to that type of scenario. That noted… I was really hoping Murray would settle and get back to what he looked… Read more »
I agree with everything here except the Geno thing. He has looked a little unattached to me lately. Him doing that showed me, it matters. Grubauer was stellar lastnight. If he wasn’t, the Pens might have won by 5. Not sure what the announcers saw, but for them to say the Pens were dominated was just not completely factual. They were certainly out goalied.
Give me Reaves and Cole over Brassard any day.
I agree 100%!!
Our defense blows.
.
Murray blows
Not as much as Npl10 blows
