I'm telling you it's the system. Our defense sucks, but the gap control is horrible. Forwards are never in position to help out.

Yeah it's been a problem for a while now. I was kind of hoping to get Gill back to give us at least a bigger body but Nashville got him.

Tell me this then ... how can a team that went through a dominating 15 game stretch like it did all the sudden have a poopty system? Call it what you want ... up 3-0 in game one, lose 4-3 in overtime (even though Philly's first goal shouldn't have counted) and then up 3-1 after one tonight. It's a choke job. When a team blows as many leads and controls the first like it has in this series - sorry .... it is what it is.

Because the other team has made an adjustment. Same story time and time again with this team. They revert to clogging the neutral zone while the pens keep turning it over. The forwards are way ahead of the D when a turnover happens. Same story and bylsma doesn't adjust in return.

its exactly what it is. how lovejoy attempts to make that pass. absolutely mind boggling. the things this team still is trying to do. i just dont know what to say... and malkin has largely still been a non factor

Martin on the ice again with Giroux with last change, is Bylsma watching the same game?

No. Or he would have called timeout earlier.

Watch how the flyers defend now. The pens have to weave through 5 bodies.....it's pathetic how the pens play with a lead

Letang has just been lazy this game with the puck. That should of been a 2-0.

gutless performance. Worst coaching I've ever seen. All these comebacks aren't a mistake it's a coach getting his ass handed to him because he can't get his players to do what necessary to win...

The Penguins and coaches should be ashamed of themselves. Every single one of them. Truly disgusting what we have seen in these two games.

DB should have used his timeout about 3 goals ago.

things seriously have to change with this team. im sorry but this season is over. they have a big window where they can still be dominant, but poop has to change. i dont care if its bylsma or the defense, something has to give.
