OT: Around the NHL: Ploffs - This is Outhouse!

[Gurglesons]

Yup. They're in a good spot with him, though I was initially surprised by that trade. Him and Makar, mid 20s. Their top guys in their late 20s, and early 30s. If this core of theirs can put one or even two more banners in the rafter, I'm sure they wont give a shit about losing some picks in 2028 or something.

Why exactly?

Byram has been pretty mid since the cup year and then you factor in he's probably one or two head shots away from his career being over.

This dudes body just gives out under the stress of being the guy when coming in to cover in the playoffs.

He’s the Beau Bennett of goalies.

DiPietro 2.0

 

[Gurglesons]

If only we gave up multiple 1sts for Saros and Helle!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It's pretty impressive that the Avs have made Hellebuyck look like Niemi through four games--even the one the Avs lost. Scary team if Georgiev holds it together just enough, a la Kuemper's run.

 

[dalewood12]

That's a Pens-level choke by the Preds.

Is it? Helle's gotten rocked in the playoffs multiple times.

This is why I never got the "spend every asset we have" on Saros or Helle crowd.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Pretty sure the Preds and Jets made the playoffs with those 2 goalies and the Penguins are golfing during R1.

Yes.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yes.

Helle's career playoff SV% is what Matt Murray got ran out of town for in 19-20.

He was good on the 17-18 Jets and in the bubble and has been very mediocre throughout their other years.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Who cares about these goalies? The important thing is that the Caps are on the verge of getting swept. Hopefully the Isles get knocked out on Tuesday as well.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Pretty nice goal from Lapierre tbh

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Teams struggling to bring it in G4's when up 3-0. It's that human nature element Sullivan always talks about.

 

[Andy99]

Ovie looks worse than Geno…but even though the Caps PP is shit and can’t get shots on net, they still look better than the Pens…at least they can handle zone entries and everyone except Ovie is not stationary lol

Trocheck way better than Malkin this year. Will be next year too most likely.
That's why people shouldn't overreact to year 1 of contracts, like that's all that matters. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

 

[66-30-33]

Playoffs and Trouba has not headshot a guy to take him out of series aka cheat? oh probably because his team was not getting owned like when Pens played the Rags and we owned them, lost because we had a 3rd string goalie.

 

[dalewood12]

A sweep against the worst team to make the playoffs in years.

 

[Human]

More reasons for the Penguins to feel embarrassed… This Capitals team is ridiculously bad.

Edit: how is Sullivan not getting fired for missing the playoffs because of the Capitals?

 

[Al Smith]

Rags semi-mailed this one in for the first two periods and were still tied after two. Caps really sucked. Agree with posters that Pens should be embarrassed about finishing below them.

 

[66-30-33]

Get rekt son.

 

[canadianguy77]

Nice to see that lazy sack of shit Ovechkin couldn’t even muster a single point in the sweep. Disgraceful that he’s basically being handed Gretzky’s record by virtue of being a marketing gimmick. He wouldn’t get past the first cut in any NHL training camp if he was a nobody.

 

[Turin]

So weird how it looks like the Kings have made no progress in 3 years. Rob Blake really blew it

Kings game tonight reminds me of the Pens on a lot of nights - take a million shots but can't score.

 

[66-30-33]

Oilers going to make it to the 3rd round pretty easily. Go from Talbot to DeSmith.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Hahahahahahahahaha Craps

Choke on a bag of dicks.
