Its getting heated in here!! Where's the ref??

Calm down gang. This team aint going anywhere anyway. Just not in the cards.

No Duper. No Maatta. No Letang. No Erhoff. No Downs. Those are 5 pretty important pieces. Is it really a surprise they are struggling w/o these guys?

Ready for a punch line??? Turris is a first line center.

They have youth, confidence, health and a home crowd that cheers. That 4/5 we don't have. I'm not even going to talk about coaching.

No, he is an idiot.

Classy



Yeah well my dad can beat up your dad


If that's how you debate after something you disagree with, you may need to grow up a bit.

Honestly I don't think this Ottawa team is good enough to make the playoffs consistently. What you guys have is the will to try but not enough talent. Just my view. You'll never be a bottom feeder like Toronto or Edmonton that's for sure.
- Barnaby36

UMMM ... they have better younger talent than we do and they are more balanced. They certainly have a play-off caliber team. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs a dose of reality. I would kill to have their young talent. Stone, Hoffman, would be in our top six. The only reason Turris wouldn't is because of 87 and 71. Kraals' sucked ass tonight, but he is an elite defenseman. They have a better supporting cast than we do. They have Stone, Hoffman, Chiasson and we have Beau. See the difference?

Are the penguins fans OK with saying let's go flyers on Saturday if need be?

Growing up is admitting you know nothing about hockey. I've seen your act for years and you have yet to show me poop. Saying that team only has two players is nothing shot of idiocy. Then again, people who hail Matt Cooke and Steve Downie and every other thug in the game must be classy.

This team is getting run so ragged they can't even play and entire game hard. They are dead in the water at this point. Unless someone comes back, I'm not sure they can close out an AHL team.

Coach turns team into a 3 line team up 3 0 and tried to protect the lead....you need to roll all 4...live or die by it...but id be much happier losing because adams sucks...than losing because our players are so tired and beat up they cant (frank)ing skate. If we cant close out ottawa even with shortening the bench...wtf kinda chance do we have with the rags?

We lost that game because we are a bunch of scared little girls, it has not a single thing to do with youth or the crowd.



We are a big hairy old prostitute vage.

Yes. Only hurts their draft spot(potentially). Already was doing that earlier actually.

It's all fine. Remember "just get to the playoffs and all the teams issues will go away". Does this still apply in April as it did in March February January December November October? This team has known there were issues since the beginning and never addressed them with any effort. This mess was coming and it was obvious.

We lost the game because they came out with tremendous energy and put a boat load of pressure on us. They showed urgency. Something we haven't showed in a while.

With your "idiot"comment I have no respect for you, no desire to continue talking with you.

I think you may forget who you are talking to.

It really was amazing. One thing Lappy has been good at is FO. Yet he's not on the ice when they pulled the goalie with 2 mins remaining.

Just watched the isles cryers highlights.... Just watch how the last 90 secs goes..... poop happens....

They probably would be able to roll all 4 lines if they didn't have AHL players like Lapierre and Adams out there.

Ehrhoff and Letang will make a ton of difference. This Ottawa team is not good. They won because they fought for their lives tonight. We will be fine.

It wasn't just 2 players who beat your sorry-ass squad tonight. Leafs may be (frank)ing pathetic, but watching the Pens poop away their season is awesome, and seeing people like you whine is icing on the cake
- Conquest

You fail to mention the horse poop goal off DP. . And I mean LUCKY....If that didn't happen game would've finished completely different....Also seems like the sens fans love zabanajed or whatever way you spell jackass name, remember earlier in the season when sens put him on waivers cause he is a bum....wasn't for Hammond and you would be in the McDavid sweeps....only good thing for ottawa is Hammond he is a very good goalie

Reading ryans blogs too much...telling everyone to trust the process...the (frank)ing process has sucked since game 15...period.

LOL

I laughed hard here.

EXACTLY!!!! This team is not making the playoffs...

- nbartley9

I don't give a poop if you have no respect for me. You are a f*cking idiot.

Taco Bell fry cook? Is that who I'm talking to? Fact is you don't know jack poop and its time for you to go to the JV board.

Talk to yourself then.

LOL

I laughed hard here.
- Barnaby36

But Barnaby the Pens are 3rd in Fenwick!!!!

They probably would be able to roll all 4 lines if they didn't have AHL players like Lapierre and Adams out there.
- jfkst1

How many cups does adams have....serious. I dont care what you think..we lost..and it was telegraphable. My statement stands...you roll four lines..u have to. You have to trust who you have. Otherwise you completely alienate them. Of they fail..they fail..but guess what...this (frank)ing failed hard..and we all SAW IT COMING.

Isn't that where the Red Sox play??

- Barnaby36

Yes, they would make a big difference. However, they aren't in the lineup and I'm not sure the next time they will be. And even if they do get back in, if someone sneezes on them, they are probably going to get concussed again. So I'm more focused on the players that are actually here right now.
