It's like that feeling after you get a cast taken off. Johnston was the cast.
- hardnosed

It's starting to look like Johnston was an incredibly incompetent coach. Pens losing under Sully look better than when the Pens won under Johnston.

The amazing thing since that change is how much better Letang looks on the PP. Which figures, because he's got more room with PK'ers worried about the Two Headed Monster on the other side.

they also have to respect him dumping it to his left with Kessel on the other side of him, not for the one timer, but Kessel can walk in and snipe with the best of em.

Good start , now next 20 is big for this game & the team as a whole. I hope they can continue to play not shut up shop & let the Islanders come back!!

Let's goooooooo Penssssssssssssssss.

105.9 just grabbed some stoner off the street to blow hot air up Sids arse!

Foot on the throat is what they need. They need to press their game. Johnston would be playing a 0-0-5 defense with a 2 goal lead. Sully needs to push them.

I really like what Sullivan said in the PG today about telling players to stop being so focused on scoring. Do everything else right, relax and let good things happen. That's good advice for a team that has been too tight.

And Hornqvist is once again effective on the PP because he's not spending his time chasing pucks in the corners.

Hockey really is a game of simple fixes. The best coaches don't need to do much besides not stifling a team with silly philosophical imperatives.

I always got so frustrated with dump and chase on the PP.. you should never.. ever have to dump on the PP. Zone entries are so simple.

Man, this is how we were supposed to look coming into the season.

Anyone miss MJ's "defensively responsible" system?


- Pens_Burgh

It legitimately makes me cringe just the thought of what MJ did to this team!

The 4th line plug Matt Martin strikes again

Where's that fish guy who swears he's the cleanest player in the league?

Sid

Crosby for Rocket?

That looked easy. The way it should look with nearly perfect PP personnel.

Suck on a goal sandwich, Martin.

was that another goal with sid down low?

Just like that... Malkin Point Per Game player

Top 10 in scoring

doing that more often will be more of a deterrent than anything a guy like tom sesito can bring.

again, like you just said. look at whats going on. horns planted right in front.

Anyone have the Penguins play by play stream telecast? These Islander guys are idiots. They called an Islander power play that did not happen and they kept saying the Islanders were on the PP when they were not for over a minute before they realized. And they said that Letang is the only offensive dman we have.

was that another goal with sid down low?
- martox

He was on the half wall for that shot, but that was a product of movement on the PP, which is another obvious thing that we've somehow been (frank)ing up. I'm loving this PP! Should be 3-3

Look a few pages back. I got you.

Yes Culldog is poop!!

Saaaaammmmmyyyyyyy.

Greiss has some of the best Fancy Stats in the league

This is the best the Pens have looked against the Isles since Dipietro got knocked out

I DEMAND WE 10-GOAL THEM!!!!

Cullen rules.

Griess pulled.

Isles suck.

this team needed a game like this.

Finally, not coasting in the 2nd period with a 2 goal lead... I won't blame them for coasting with a 4 goal lead. I won't like it, so if they choose to coast, they better turn it back on after they give up a goal to make it 4-1.

He looked fine when here as a backup... fancy stat or not I thought his career earned him a chance to become a starter somewhere.
