Mentally, this team is a bunch of pussies.

If this series ends w/ Pens loss, Pens will be on a multi-year trajectory that most Cup winners go through in terms of building up progressively better teams and series win, getting the Cup, then sloping back down to in-the-conversation to not-a-threat.

If Johnson is your major problem with this series, then you haven’t been paying attention.
He's a main cause of what ails the Pens.

No, we know he isn't.Is Crosby happy his team is getting swept? I doubt it.Back to back cups and made your superstar happy. Yeah, fire him for that.Rutherford needs to be fired for acquiring himCan't wait for 4 more years of Jack Johnson, you guys
I don't know if Sid, as a leader, has got a magic speech left in him, but if he does, then now's the time to bust it out.

I was just thinking that things could be worse--we could be the Blackhawks.**** you Patrick Sharp
I'll be honest and say that I wouldn't want to be a Lightning fan if they lose tonight, either.

Let me rephrase so my point is clearer:
If the result of losing in OT in the first game is for someone making decisions to think "I'm going to put Jack Johnson in", you've already conceded defeat.

There's no magic speech that is going to make Letang 7 years younger

About a month ago, I thought this team had found something. McCann, Jake, and Sid were on fire. Kessel was starting to come around. Murray was looking solid. Power play was clicking.
Then, things got weird. The top line just stopped scoring completely. Letang and Dumo were not close to 100% after returning. After that Philly game, it appeared the team was sort of rallying around that. I thought collectively they might have turned the corner. I was mistaken.

My dad just texted “at least we have the Pirates.”

This is what happens when fake "toughness" in the form of signing D-men who chase hits gets you.

???? >6 of our forwards have done next to nothing so far; the speed overall is lacking; can't get anyone to the net with any regularity. JJ didn't play in the game 1 loss....lots of other things on top of JJ's play.If Johnson is your major problem with this series, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Good news: we can win 4 in a row against the Isles
Bad news: it's probably not going to happen

The forwards will have trouble having the puck and shooting if Jack Johnson can't move the puck up to them and turns it over in his own zone, or can't keep it in the O zone.

I guess one can recover from the near-crippling ignominy with a 3rd overall.

They lost big time character guys with Kunitz and Fleury. Lost some sandpaper when Cole and Kuhnhackel left. Lost speed when Hags, Bonino, and Daley left.The regression is bizarre.Mentally, this team is a bunch of pussies.
You can't keep everyone when you win a championship, and players get older. But they tried to replace those guys with the Casey DeSmith's and Dominic Simon's of the world, and it just wasn't good enough.

This is the '96 Panthers series except I don't have the emotional investment I did as a 13 year old.
