Postby **skullman80** » Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:13 pm

These are games you can’t lose when trying to dig out of a hole.

Had our chances

Good fight there. Use this for Boston Thursday and get back on track

These are the types of games they need to win. Head to head matchups against teams ahead of them in the standings. Now, instead of gaining two, they fall two more behind.

How does Washington have 42 points? They are terrible. 4 lucky goals and they basically didn't complete a pass in the offensive zone

Yea I don’t see the isles or the caps in the playoffs at years end. I’m worried about the flyers a bit though

Good eff for two periods.

Caps have defensive structure, that's all.

Play Graves 15 minutes a game...

They need to win almost all of them to dig out of the hole they put themselves in at this point.

9-2-1 in the last 12 and still on the outside looking in. That pace isn’t sustainable and they almost have to do that the rest of the way just to make the playoffs.

Would have been better to win tonight and lose to Boston if they had to lose one. At least Boston isn’t in our division.

Mike Monaco and Cassie Campbell-Paschall on Kings/Leafs for ESPN+ are so much better than Bucci and Weeksy

9-2-1 pace when they're a game out with 46 games left...? We're not looking at the President's Trophy here haha

Yeah I was exaggerating a bit but they still can’t just give away points to teams especially in their division.

Also 9-2-1 seems wrong in the last 12 but I thought the broadcast said they were 9-1-1 at one point tonight but maybe I’m just insane.

Shorter version….can’t give away points when you are already in a hole.

Two of us from FAF would be better than Bucci & Weeksy.

were Bucci and Weeks doing the game from the studio? because they just had no energy at all.

Postby **shoeshine boy** » Wed Jan 03, 2024 7:55 am

these slow starts need to stop. even the Islanders blow out was not a great first period.
oh, and someone please launch Graves into the Sun. what a lazy ****.

Nope they were in PPG.

I don't have either of those streaming services. Looks like it was a good time to miss a game.

Postby **nocera** » Wed Jan 03, 2024 9:35 am

If you ignore the first period (like the Pens did), it was a pretty entertaining game.

Postby **JC2** » Wed Jan 03, 2024 9:36 am

Really thought they were gonna get a point last night after that terrible first.

This team has had so many bad starts the past two years. It's inexcusable.

The Penguins have scored first in 24 of the first 36 games and are outscoring teams 108-96 in the 1st period this season

Postby **Gaucho** » Wed Jan 03, 2024 9:44 am

Fire R. Smith and R. Graves into the sun.
