He has the same amount of goals as Paul Martin, Matt Niskanen and Tyler Kennedy. Talk about poopy play for the former 30-goal scorer.

Whatever helps you forget about tonight's performance, I guess....

Vokoun should have played against Buffalo and Fleury tonight. Didn't get it either. But we all felt comfortable with the choice. Vokoun wasn't good tonight. Actually he was horrible.

Vokoun is one of the better backups, but would have loved to seen Fleury in this game. Why no Despres either?

What a crazy game. I really thought it was at least going into OT after Sutter's goal. Entertaining but disappointing.

Yea. You'd think in Pittsburgh against their biggest rivals that fleury gets the start. My girlfriend called it in the beginning of the game. "Why the hell isn't fleury in net. the pens are going to lose now that fleury isn't in". Her text exactly haha

One of the worst displays of tending I can remember. Really, the whole team made mistakes all over the ice, but Vokoun was pitiful. Can't over come that. What's amazing is all we needed to do was get to the SO. They're horrible at it.

he was terrible, yes...but they took terrible penalties and were not great defensively....again.

This ^

We soon forget how MAF had a 4+ GAA and sub .850 save % against this same team. It is an emotional/discipline problem. 6th goal was very brutal however

But we have been playing this bad for a while now. Against talented teams we will lose because of lack of structure and discipline. Not new. It has come to be the norm.

They're both head scratchers. Bylsma doesn't want Despres in physical games or some stupid poop.

Pens disappointed they allowed Flyers to suck them into that type of game _ again. Orpik: "I don't know how many times we can address it."

The best you can come up with is an illegal hit from a playoff game Pittsburgh were blown out in that resulted in another suspension for Neal? You probably post the gif of Matt Cooke ruining Marc Savard's career with an elbow when you lose to Boston.

Ignoring the result because its significance is 1 of 48. Win or lose, not really important to the Pens right now.

Bylsma is very annoying with his lineup. You play right into the discipline deficiencies of your own team by dressing the "big, tough lineup" instead of the better one with Despres. Remember when the Flyers used to try to win the war every game a few years ago and usually lost? Now its the Penguins doing it with the coach seemingly emcouraging it. Put everything else aside. Vokoun will be better (he already has been).

Yeo keeps telling us that Wild have same system as Pens, but the way you guys play is phenomenal. Hoping to see Pens and Hawks in the Finals.
