Without being a homer, the calls this season have been devastating. Self-inflicted excluded, and there have been many, but the bad calls are on a pace for the extreme.
Couldn't care less about our play tonight soon as I saw shelav in net I knew it should all fall on the couch or couching staff for this loss 100 all on the couching staff thats where these clownzzz should be watching the game from for this decision wtf r u thinking 🤔 even if skinner Couldn't go u let the kid get some games send shelavzzz home to his couch sit on the couch u r a couch clown 🤡 only a couch clown would put him in net with 2 yes 2 other much better options. U gotta be kidding me !!!
Why Muse would screw over Ben and Rutger by putting them with Hayes is beyond me. This is getting bad. Silovs shouldn’t be starting games in the NHL and Dan Muse may be in over his head with this roster.
Letang and Karlsson are the biggest problem. This type of team needs to be good in goal and on defense in order to compete most nights. While Karlsson is great with the puck and skating, he's not good at all on defense. Letang is not nearly as good as he used to be either, so he's losing speed and those extra bursts of late-game energy. He always used to make dumb mistakes on occasion, now it's happening more frequently. Both have no-trade clauses, so we are stuck with this problem. Both are going to continue to be a liability on defense, so it really shouldn't be a surprise to any real Penguins fan. Guess which 2 players average the most playing time for Penguins??…Letang and Karlsson!!! There is no way both players will magically put together a complete great season. So, we have no choice but to ride it out until both contracts run out. There is no other option. What GM out there would take these aging liabilities on defense?? I mean make all the excuses you want about a bad call, we aren't able to put together a full effort most nights because Letang and Karlsson average the most minutes on the team, period. The only bad calls were giving both of these guys lengthy contracts with no-trade clauses.
Muse did not do a good job of changing things up as the game went on…first, and foremost, these defensive pairings need to be switched up…they are not working right now…we couldn't get out of our zone…bring back the kids line…Kindle looks lost out there, and now he's afraid to shoot…Broz up, Hayes out, for the love of God…desperate times call for desperate measures, the season is slipping away
The league is desperately trying to force Sid to leave Pittsburgh. Dubas needs to force the league to investigate. (even though we all know that would upset his Canadian overlords.)
I was mad when they called the tripping on Silovs when the Ottawa player breezes through the crease and falls over. I was f****ng furious when they didn't overturn that disallowed goal AFTER looking from the video. A mistake worthy of a suspension. Goalie starts turning before Rakell even touches him and they don't see the defenders stick? How? They should be embarrassed.
The good news is they are still in a better position point wise than last year at this conjuncture. Bad news for the first time I saw a team that played exactly like last year for the entire game. If that continues the season will be over in short order. Hoping I am wrong.
I knew they were screwed after the goalie interference call. But Rakell isn't even in the crease. Wtf is goalie interference? I had a feeling they were gonna call it that feels like the pens are on the wrong end of calls like this all the time this year
Whether or not it's a bad media center or not I don't know … but it's the CANADIAN TIRE CENTRE, not the CANADA TIRE center. As for the bad calls … that's the least of the Pens problems in the middle of a 7-game losing streak, where they've shown very little in terms of hope for those of us who are their fans. Just another poop-the-bed night.
2 bad calls don’t make you unable to move the puck for 57 minutes. They look like they’re protesting something- Coach, sale, Dubas? They stand around , leave pucks , and can’t pass. Another game where they spend 45 minutes looking like D league pickup
off topic… do you think they trade Malkin at the deadline to a contender or before? Since it isn't likely they resign him I guess… he might be willing to go to a contender… this lineup has regressed to its mean from the euphoria of the start. It is likely where it belongs now in the basement looking up. So letting Malkin go to contend and possibly sign for however long would benefit both.
Goalie made good job, some bad unlucky goals, but lot of good save, and takeaway few breakouts. Probably even Hasek in the best of times wouldn't be able to help Pittsburgh at the moment 🙂
Geno and Lizotte will get them back on track. Hallander would be nice too. To be fair, I think theyve showed a lack of depth but that early season line up clicked… and it controlled play for long periods of time. Crosby is definitely at the age where he needs another player to take some of the pressure off of him, and 71 looks confident out there.

It can't be overstated how massive it would be for them if they win both Montreal games this weekend.
I can’t believe Silovs is still starting games in the NHL.

I'm sick over this
If the first line is AWOL then rest rest of the team will follow. Easy to dissect & nothing more to add.
Thanks Dan
should blomqvist get a call? he hasn’t played in the NHL this season. why not carry 3 goalies like buffalo lol
3 goals on 9 shots possibly not helping

Did you say Kevin Hayes? YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MENTION GENO

I love our Pens. We are not the Pens. Dan isn't either; and should not be punished. So please explain . . . why is Dan in Saturday Detention.

That was a rough game to watch. Pens looked flat and tired the whole game. Poor officiating did not help at all.
wtf, why did they take braz off of Kindel's line and give him back to Novak and Mantha. lines are all messed up. they deserve this loss.
Silovs hasn't won since October, what happened to this team? Ever since Gino got hurt they've looked so different
I knew they were screwed after the goalie interference call. But Rakell isn't even in the crease. Wtf is goalie interference? I had a feeling they were gonna call it that feels like the pens are on the wrong end of calls like this all the time this year
Dan your justifying isn't working.

Man if the Pens only had a DMan like Matheson! 👀 oh wait! They did! lol
Thats dang jarry failing the team again 😂

core or not LeTangs play is unexceptable and is only hurting the team
Goalie made good job, some bad unlucky goals, but lot of good save, and takeaway few breakouts.
Probably even Hasek in the best of times wouldn't be able to help Pittsburgh at the moment 🙂
Stick a fork in them, they are done. Never recovered from the ducks loss.
Geno and Lizotte will get them back on track. Hallander would be nice too.
