GDT #64: Pens vs Isles

[Rx6687]

At some point, you've got to counter with a goal. The Pens are blowing these leads by giving up goals, sure.. but nobody is responding offensively. They're just giving up unanswered goals. To me, that's the issue. This team is built to score.

[Morkle]

Or play solid defense.

[King Colby]

Last 3 vs islanders:

Blew a 3-1 and 4-2 lead to lose in regulation

Blew a 2-1 lead with 10 mins left to lose in regulation

Blew a 3-1 lead with 5 mins left to lose in OT

6 points!!!

Legit we should have probably had 5 points to their 2 (worst case)

Instead they got 6 to our 1

Again though who can replace him? You can't even healthy scratch him because we don't have cap space to do that.

Literally anyone they can squeeze in from this BS cap to replace him. At this point, he's a detriment and an anchor.

They won't have the room to call anyone up til Saturday at the earliest, and that's if Poehling doesn't come back.

Exactly. Which makes me want to break things when they’re on the PP.

Woof

Right, exhibit 1231231243214234 on why Hextall needs his access code revoked.

[MR25]

Also, if it was known Jarry had this hip injury issue before the deadline, and Hextall didn't add a goalie for insurance, that's pretty damning stuff.

Their power play is so bad, I'm just relieved when they don't give up a shorty.

We're **** either way if he goes down. We needed a backup in the offseason

[skullman80]

How can a team that is as old as dirt with so many vets not know how to hold a **** lead?

I'm saying they should've brought in a capable hand and shut him down to heal.

Exactly. There is zero room. Hextalls mismanagement of the cap should be a fireable offense.

[willeyeam]

We have an extra forward eating nachos at the moment I'm not sure why we need an extra one?

[mac5155]

The only option is to play 7 D and scratch him. Which I guess doesn't sound half bad when I say it. Lol

As The U said just after the TDL, you’d think Hextall, as a goalie, would’ve prioritized this.

Hell, you’d think simply coming from the Flyers and Kings organizations, he’d have a clue of how teams can sink and swim, respectively, with their goaltending.

Who? Poehling? Pretty sure he's still on IR

Sign me up for that for the games vs. the Rangers.

I missed Nylander going back down

Vets who have experienced 3 tight Cup-clinching games, no less.

Yeah. He was up on an emergency basis. Pretty sure that doesn't count for cap or something.

At this point, it’s like he can’t trust the team in front to not do something stupid, and they can’t trust him, either.
