Painfully obvious Puustinen will be getting sent down when we sign Puljujarvi

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
I mean you have a goal stolen which changed the whole dynamic of the game but still a game you needed to win. Just pathetic. We all know it and most of us have been saying it all year... this team has clearly been a seller for a long while and random wins against Boston don't change a thing.

1-2 vs a crap team. These are the points that kill playoff hopes.

That attempted move by Rakell late in the game instead of getting it deep. No excuse.

Sabres had done everything before that goal to let the Pens tie it up. They looked resigned to the fact that the Pens were going to score in the last minute

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
Pretty much. Makes me wonder what the reason was for moving mountains to get EK here over the summer. They don’t use him properly and the PP is worse now than last year. Might as well see if a contender wants him for something that’ll make a difference.Dynasty1970 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:37 pmSellBlackNGold4Life wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:36 pm Players on my **** list big time.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
Soft goals allowed by Jarry and a PP hitting at about 10% kill Playoff chances. Throw in a stale coach and you got the trifecta.pronovost19 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:37 pm 1-2 vs a crap team. These are the points that kill playoff hopes.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
Give back all the equity they built after a big win in Boston. Losing at home to Buffalo is bad. Power play is clueless. PO isn’t a top 4 D man. Not sure if he’s even top 6.
Frustrating loss.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
Losing back to back home games to Washington and Buffalo isn't gonna get it done. We all know Sully isn't going anywhere. So what else can be done? I would look to move Smith. He's not fitting in. Try and bring in a different goal scorer.
Need to do something here. Not good enough.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
I'm not interested in moving ek or Graves at this stage. I want Sullivan gone before any of those kind of moves. It's painfully obvious he's the problem on this team and has been the problem for half a **** decade.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
Another game where this PP cost them.1-5,barely got the 5 on 3 with time running out on it.Likely 7-10 Games where its failure did them in.
POJ with a weak shift late in a tight game leading to the Game Losing Goal.Instead of being sound positionally gets worked and gets them beat.
Will give credit to Lukkonen and some blind luck to Buffalo.3 Posts,1 overturned Goal that was not warranted.They did little in this game.
Jarry had a decent stretch in the 2nd and half of tye 3rd but a lousy 1st Goal and down way too early on the losing goal.He continues to come up short.
Puustinen getting no ice time is a terrible call.Smith was useless tonight.No real push after the tying goal was disappointing.
A loss to a team that simply isn't that good.No doubt the excuses will get spewed out-bad luck on the posts,the overturned 2nd Goal,Opposing Goalie played out of this world,etc..... But to continue to squander these games with the PP ineptitude,lack of ability to defend late and Jarry not being able to get it done is what cost them and will continue to be the reason they likely miss the playoffs

Berube would give this team a kick in the can and provide some needed structure to their game.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
I did like the trade for sure, but I wasn’t referring to that. It’s been his performance and impact over the first half of the season that’s the issue. I think it’s system and coaching that’s holding him back so trading for the best offensive dman in the league and not leveraging that talent to the max seems like a waste to me.Skatingpen wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:46 pmDon’t pretend like you didn’t love the EK pickup….. come onE-Ramone wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:40 pmPretty much.

8-4 in their last 12 games with five of those wins coming against playoff teams.
So very pathetic.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Sabres 1/6/24
Welp guess I am also the problem. Win or lose I still enjoy watching these old Pens guys play hockey and I have nothing to do with or control of the product or direction of this organization.
