Bob might've flopped but Downie completely unnecessarily ran into him

this is why I still don't knwo if we should resign him or not. That was a tremendously dumb thing to do at that time of the game.

Yeah forecheck pressure is key in a game like this for two reasons...a) you don't want to deal with the cycle the other way, you'd almost rather challenge the Jackets on an even-man rush...b) they are pretty incapable at handling the puck with deftness or mobility on the back line...force mistakes at the proper pressure points and weaknesses...Prout can barely stand up on the rink, Goloubef is a greenhorn, we can make some in-roads there with dedication below the hash marks at both ends of the rink...

I think he was simply trying to navigate behind him. But, he's Downie.

At least they look somewhat organized on the PK. Why doesn't that carry over to other aspects of play? Coaching or personnel or both?

Dodged a check (or two other players engaged, don't remember) by jumping into the crease. Had no way of stopping (momentum's a *****) or moving out of the way of Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky felt it & went down like a soccer player.

Don't really mind that penalty much.

At this point it's not even about what he does it's that he's a call magnet. The team should send some film to the league office but that probably only get even more calls against us.

Constructive criticism isnt taken very well by the league

Man, I hate that stupid map showing cable subscribers in some podunk village...

no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Adams never got the puck until the guy was off. That was a weak call.

I think of it as the Penguins' slow conquering of land from Washington & Philly.

Also, I'm glad boarding isn't a penalty today (correct call on the TMM, though they normally don't call it...)).

Comeau plastered no call.

Then too many men ugh.

Post by **Beveridge** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 2:34 pm

I guess I can buy the too much man but where was the boarding on Comeau?

Post by **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 2:35 pm

that penalty is even more disappointing because we all know Adams was going to score on that rush

haha Errey ripping whoever the BJs had on the blue line

Good kill.

Johnston has to be senile or completely unaware of what's going on on the ice to argue that call.

Was he arguing the too many men? If so, maybe he's just had enough of the general hosing his team is getting.

Post by **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 2:40 pm

he could've been arguing the boarding that occurred like a minute before

Yeah, there's at least an argument to be made at real speed...when I was watching it live, I thought the optics were bad but the change was actually good...I actually got rung up for that exact same too many men penalty two weekends ago, exact same looking rush...

Ok, I want that Photoshop now.
