They need to start thinking about calling Murray up for these games. Can't afford losing these points because you have a minor league goalie.

What also sucks about Zatkoff is that they are forced to win in regulation because he can't be trusted at all in OT and forget about the SO.

People hate +/-, but that number is real.

It seems even worse than that.

Worst +\- of any defenseman in the NHL.

god kessels one timer is sad.

God Kessel's one timer is atrocious

God F Kessels one timer.

ZATKOFF IS THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does kessel have any pp goals?? teams are just taking away geno now because phil is freaking awful on the left side. cant even get pucks to the net. with how letang is playing, we should put him in that spot and let daley run the point. F Phil

He's a bigger disappointment that Perron IMO.

It would be sweet if Kessel scored more than once every 12 games.

Wow can't wait till philly on Thursday

How many SOG did they have in the third? 5? 6?

The PP is shifting back to the passy passy sh!t. 6-4 sucks for space an lanes but you gotta shoot! Kessel is not helping the PP at all. Like someone said earlier, he is the opposite of what I was expecting from him.

It will go down as one of the worst trades in franchise history.

7, StL had 8, Zatkoff sucks end of story!

Pens played well enough to win it despite Crapoff... It's just Elliot was up to the task. Probably one of the more frustrating games I've watched this season. Moving on. Plenty time.

38 shots & 2 goals?????

Blame everything else but this team cannot consistently score!!

Until they can ride Flower because there may be no playoffs for him to be fresh for! Or bring Murray up!

Would rather have a cheap young pmd in Dinger than a guy that has completely lost all positive aspects of his game & costs $$$$$$$!! But that's just moi!

It will go down as one of the worst trades in franchise history.

We play like that and we'll murder philly.

We owned this game, other than the Terasenko goal which was golden every goal scored was on Zatkoff.
Call out Cole all you want on the first goal but if you're a goalie and you commit to leaving your crease you can't b!tch out like that.

Call out Cole all you want for that Brouwer goal but that was a bounce, Zatkoff should have had that bounce read way before it hit the ice and been square to the shot before it was taken. He watched, Cole missed it then he tried to react. If he is in position its a save.

4th goal was a wrister with little traffic, it wasnt an Ovechkin bullet, it was a standard NHL wrister that he shouldnt have had a problem with.

Fleury is in net for this game and we win. So dissappointed because this would have been a good statement win over a tough team, instead its a Zatkoff stink fest.

So frustrating. I imagine it is frustrating for the team as well. But they were looking so dominating up 2-1 late in the 2nd then Lovejoy happens 2-2, then Cole happens 2-3, then Zatkoff happens 2-4. Want to believe in this team so badly because it is night and day how they are playing under Sully but they are still major holes on this roster.

When the Pens won their last cup they had two D at the points with3 forwards on the PP, they should try this now/ OR as suggested the 1-3-1 with 2 D (Daley at the point and Letang on the left side)

The PP is shifting back to the passy passy sh!t. 6-4 sucks for space an lanes but you gotta shoot! Kessel is not helping the PP at all. Like someone said earlier, he is the opposite of what I was expecting from him.

This is because they are in the mindset that they have to score because Zatkoff cant be trusted to save anything.
Kessel needs to start shooting, it is getting rediculous that a guy can have that kind of shot and is looking for the pass all the damn time now. I agree complete opposite of what I was expecting as well.

I mentioned this earlier, I get that its back to back, but were fighting for a freaking playoff spot, ride your All-Star, plus we have 2 days off! I dont get it

I get it, you need to have confidence in your backup, and he needs reps incase Fleury goes down or has a bad game. But the team obviously cant trust Zatkoff in the net.
