Preds already have 32 shots. And higher quality than last game. I dont udnerstand how the Pens are struggling to get pucks on goal. It has to be starting with the back end. The defense just isnt generating anything and its making it harder for the forwards to enter the zone or set up once they get in the zone

yeah man thats a large part of it. even strenght is gonna be a struggle and basically require large individual efofrts by the forwards.

that being said the even strength effort hasnt been bad at all given what theyre working with.

the PP is just sickening and wasting the effort of ES

The irony of your complaining about this with how much you complain in here is hilarious. Get over yourself. Both teams complain about stupid things. Both teams make dirty plays. Deal with it.

The irony of your complaining about my complaining about others complaining shows that you have no life.

Get over yourself kid.

We have to win this game. With these efforts even goin up 2 to 0 I think it's 2 to 2 coming back to pitts

Lavy's PK is active. Gave Pitt fits when he was in Philly. No different here. But they are prone to lapses with cross ice passes

its a biological fact that men get more sick than women

Damn Venus snowflakes

None of the point men wanna shoot the puck

By all means, carry on female doging about every minor inconvenience.

four PPs and not a single shot on goal is honestly worse than having an entire period without one.

(frank)ing joke.

Those PP's are pathetic... No urgency what so ever....

Keep whining about my alleged whining... Its doing you wonders, sport.

You can't have 0 shots on 4 power plays and expect to.win

Dumo on the PP should never happen.

well you arent supposed to win with 11 shots on goal in a whole game either and yet here we are

if the point men arent going to even place the possibility of shooting on the table, there is no point in even trying. Nashville D are entirely too fast and good to think theyre going to get caught on these cross ice passes without needing to draw at least someone to pay attention up top.

The PP is non existant again.

Well the good news for y'all is that Rinne hasnt seen a shot in like 10 minutes so hes gonna be real rusty after the break

They need more from Geno and Kessel. Neither of those guys are doing much at all.

Phil and Geno have been MIA. No compete from Phil at all.

exactly. hence my comment on how none of the point men wanna shoot

(also quick thanks for none of y'all asking me to leave as a flyers fan theyre not talking about the game over on that board so i gotta come here)

A boarding, and two right hooks... by my count that is three missed ejections against Nashville.
- Guile

Right hooks with the gloves on are just forceful face washes, cmon.....

Wasn't any less effective. I kinda want phil away from geno a bit. I think they r starting to clash a bit and it's becoming an issue in play. Give geno some youth and speed.

Even with all the cross checks, slashes after receiving clean hits, bulldozing the goalie, etc. that the Preds have gotten away with, Pens now have 5 PPs to Nashville's 2.

Gotta figure Coach Waaaahviolette will let the refs know about that and they will act accordingly in the third period.

the most common names the announcers have called have been Murray, Bonino, and Rowney...not a good sign
