Can’t clear. Can’t make passes. Can’t receive passes. They just look like a group of guys playing a pick up game of hockey.

Sully will give them a great intermission speech so they get to their game in the 2nd. Let’s face it, this team isn’t changing.

O’Connor looks out of place in this game. Poor defensive coverage tonight

Montreal scored three that period and I wouldn’t say Ned played poorly. The team in front of him though…woof.

I take comfort we're at least looking awful against a guaranteed playoff team. After all MTL has a juicy .482 record so far.

Can't wait to see if Sully has on a different sport coat to start the 2nd like last week. If there was ever a time to freak out and throw crap it's after that abomination of a period.

Montreal seems fast with good sticks. Seems like you have to be physical and punish on the forecheck, which means we are in big trouble because we don’t come close to sniffing that approach.

An awful period.Weak effort,disorganized defensive zone coverage,sloppy play.2 bad Goals allowed from Ned.
So many bad decisions with the puck made worse by lack of any decent support after these mistakes.
The continued terrible 1st Periods are inexcusable.From puck drop this team wasn't ready to play.Sully not getting this attended to 27 Games in.

On a positive note, the Pens didn't fail to score on the PP.

Let’s not forget Arizona was playing their 3rd game in 4 nights last night.
If the Pens are going to lose at least play fun hockey. I want to see Karlsson being a maestro out there, like he was at the beginning of the season. Now he just looks like Justin Schultz.

Re: Official GDT: Pens @ Habs 12/13/23
Matheson got moved unfairly IMHO due to all the goals that bounced in off of him in the Playoff Loss to the Rags.They thought that Jeff Petry,an older less talented D-Man was a better option.For some reason they were enamored over Petry's performance against them in the Playoff Loss in the CoVid Season.Antonio wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 7:44 pm Wow so I just checked and I believe Matheson put up 47 points in 118 games here and has now 54 points in 77 games for Montreal. So strange how these players keep leaving here as garbage and then produce and fit so much better elsewhere. Must be the climate because there obviously can't be any other common factor that impacts players not "fitting" here.

DOC to the 3rd line this period. Don't know how many more chances he's going to get to be in the top-6.

I imagine he’s so focused on defense that he’s forgetting what made him special as a player. The Sullivan touch with offense first players.Zalapski33 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 8:10 pmGood Point.Yotes were definitely there to be had.KG wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 8:01 pm Let’s not forget Arizona was playing their 3rd game in 4 nights last night.

No way Dubas can wait until the all star break to make decisions. That’s not until early February. We’ll be long out of it by then.

Yeah it's not hard to know. EKs problem is the same problem other players have had. The Sullivan effect. He's a worthless hunk of **** as a coach.

Remember kids, hooking isn't a penalty of you are an original six team
