That was the worst game in a while. Still, solid road trip.

Walk away with your tail between your legs. The only guy who does anything is Zuck.

Our stars have balls. Again, the problem is we replaced our bottom 6 with some more nameless facesWalk away with your tail between your legs. The only guy who does anything is Zuck.

Is Burke just stealing a check at this point? I used to make fun of the bone head "truculence" moves he'd make in Anaheim. Can he make one or two of those here?

Who? Letang had barkov lined up. And let him go.Our stars have balls. Again, the problem is we replaced our bottom 6 with some more nameless facesWalk away with your tail between your legs. The only guy who does anything is Zuck.

The pens are not that kind of team and I’m not sure if they ever have been. You guys that are surprised they didn’t take a run at somebody or whatever, I’m not sure why you thought that’d happen. That’s not in their blood and frankly isn’t at all necessary.
GDT #62: Pens @ Panthers
If they did this (read: nothing) in the end of the first, okay. I'm not as mad. There's still a game to 'just play'.
The game was lost. Over. And they still did nothing to let them know the crap that Barkov pulled won't fly.

I just don’t see what that solves. We’re not in that era anymore.

I don't want someone to McSorely the guy. Let him know that spearing another grown man in the nuts is not okay? At the very least it builds a little bit of team/camradarie.
GDT #62: Pens @ Panthers
Idk. I'm not the guy who just took a hatchet to the nads. Maybe it's not as big a deal to these guys as it seems to me. In that case meowshrug

I’m sure they weren’t pleased. I’m just saying I can’t recall a time when this team went after anybody. That’s just not what they do.

There were 2 or 3 chances to run barkov out of the box but nobody did
GDT #62: Pens @ Panthers
Letang had him lined up. Could've laid a clean solid body check on him and nothing.

It couldn't be letang because he got 24 stitches the other day

Crosby usually has to handle these types of things unfortunately. This is the price you pay when you have the leagues smallest/softest team. This day and age the physical aspect of hockey only rears its head once in a while during the regular season so we can kind of get by. Playoff hockey it’s there every night and is a huge disadvantage for us.So who's gonna run Barkov when he comes out of the box?
GDT #62: Pens @ Panthers
“Turn the other cheek” and/or “just play our game” are organizational mottos at this point. They’ve had years to add size, grit, jerks, etc and have chosen to fill the bottom 6 with soft Smurfs. They deserve whatever comes their way. Any time an opponent gets physical, we are at a severe disadvantage.Someone better have balls to go after Barkov.

Boston adds Bertuzzi and Hathaway. Tampa adds Jeannot. Rangers added size over the past 2 years after Tom Wilson embarrassed Panarin. Teams add guys like Hagel, Paul, Schenn, etc to deal with physical/intense playoff style hockey.Our stars have balls.

How many times have you seen Jarry get run over the past few years? We never do ANYTHING about it. Look at how Florida responded tonight.
I’m saying all of this because I hate our roster construction. I don’t care about fights or goons or revenge or deference. I want a team that initiates contact, gets physical with opponents, is hard to play against, makes opposing players get rid of the puck before they want to because they’re about to get hit. Guys crashing creases. Guys harassing the other teams best players. We haven’t had any of this for years.
No name guys on other teams are harassing Letang, Malkin, Sid. When’s the last time somebody on our team harassed another team’s best players and for under their skin?

Retaliation gets you nowhere except the penalty box in this league.
Also, you'd think people would've seen what happened against the Flyers in 2013, and realize "retaliation" just leads to them losing their heads even more.

He must have zero say in personnel decisions. He wouldn’t allow the roster to look like this for 2 seasons in a row. This roster is the anti-Burke roster.Is Burke just stealing a check at this point? I used to make fun of the bone head "truculence" moves he'd make in Anaheim. Can he make one or two of those here?

If only they were more physical though...

Maybe we should sign Reaves.
