Cindy upset because Pasta took a slapper? He could have tried to score then Cindy might be upset but then again Pissburgh was still trying to win the game too. Fuck off Cindy.

Another nice win vs a team in a desperate situation.
Too bad Isles let Rags squirrel one out today. Maybe Sens can upset them on Monday.

Other than missing the empty net, I really hope tonight’s Debrusk shows up for the playoffs. Carlo, too.
Frederic seemed to wake up in the second half, awful early and much better later.
Fat Balloon looked like you’d expect. He’s never going to be fast, but I thought he was supposed to have hands?
Not Mac’s best game.
Gryz sucks.

Positives:
Upped SOG to 31 after an anemic 7 in 1st period 53% at the dots 26 hits 21 blocks Gryz blocked a shot at a key moment (not sure if on purpose) Monty breaking in Maroon slowly. 13:16 TOI and 4 hits Ullmark with a .875 but came up big numerous times

Was he noticeable out there in his 13:16 of first game back?

So many B's played well, and it's consistent with 6 goals getting scored and what 13 different players getting points...Lauko was tremendous, DeBrusk super (missed EN, ugh gimmee), Pasta was spectacular hit 2 posts, robbed twice, still got 2 assists..Shat immediately comes in and sparks offense with who else 88 giving him the pass--73 can't seem to match Shat's savvy for some reason..Gryz's best game in a while, he did some good things, I thought he played well more noticeable, blocked big shot, took some big shots, one that rebound became goal..yes I said Gryz...Beecher was god awful, hemmed in, puck watching a lot, terrible game for him on a night when a lot of guys were good..liked Peeke's tenaciousness and Carlo was awesome..Lindy was better than 73 tonight but not by much..Marchand needs some stick-em on his stick puck rolls off it way too often, but nice shortie and then he missed the long attempt at EN--that's his career in that one moment on ENs...why I have no idea...Ullmark was good and played great when they needed it to keep it 0-0, didn't like that he gave up the shortie goal, but let's see how Roadhouse responds his next start. Go B's!

C’mon San, Grz was a plus 1 and Crosby a -1, he did his job and is great. Ask Book about his outlying numbers and why he won’t hurt us in the playoffs. 😉

Ask Book about his outlying numbers and why he won’t hurt us in the playoffs. 😉 In the encyclopedia I've written on Grz, I have never, ever, said he wouldn't hurt them in the playoffs. I've never even said he's a good player. My entire case is people spend way too much time pretending he's the problem in the regular season when there is literally no evidence to suggest the things we don't like are actually hurting the team in any real way.

Got ya. Lol I don’t care what he does in the season other than occupying a spot better used to make someone play off ready. It is his playoffs that bothers me as did Krug. Monty’s and everyone before him, use of this guy in situations also bothers me. Problem is nobody has cared what bothers me for 60 years. I will live with that, but drives me that we have blown the last dozen years of opportunities. Not any single player has caused this, but the use of binkies has definitely contributed to it

I want Frederic to use the next few games to demonstrate a bit of snarl and aggression which is what he’s paid to do especially at playoff time. My fear is that he’ll even be less aggressive now that Maroon is on the scene to take on that role. My hope is that Maroon amps up the temperature a bit during the next few games so Frederic gets dragged into the fight (not necessarily fisticuffs). Frederic might pop a couple of goals during the playoffs which would be great but his focus for the playoffs has to be on becoming a mean SOB to play against. 0 points in 12 career playoff games. 9. He's played 9 playoff games. And a grand total of just over 80 minutes, or the equivalent of four games by Pastrnak or Marchand. Also zero PPTOI. Also, he isn't the same player he was three years ago when he had his first playoff action; he's increased his scoring every year. Last year, he got hosed for TOI with the rentals, so hard to say he had a fair shot to contribute as a scorer. Has he been good? No. But I don't think it really tells us anything usefu to say he hasn't scored. He's been used sparingly, and his lines have managed to get scored on, but I can't remember if that's because if mistakes he made or if he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Definitely he needs to play a more engaged playoff game this year. They need the good Freddy. Goals, hits, grease.

Not any single player has caused this, but the use of binkies has definitely contributed to it I'd blame some of that on the Cap. Guys who can play thr kind of game Grz plays where he doesn't make many mental mistakes who ALSO have the size and strength not to get muscled in the playoffs are in increasing demand. We had a discussion on here a while back about how hard it is to find big, physical, nasty D these days and I remain convinced that there are two reasons. One is the rule changes now make it more important to deny a guy the puck as a D than to separate him from it once he gets it. It's making hitting a lost art. Two is that the junior ranks have the same issue and so they are developing more nimble mid-sized D with puck skills and not giving much attention to the next Chara. Chara probably doesn't play junior now given how he skated when he got to PG.

Once more with feeling…Fuck you Sid! OK stop being a POS San! I understand you don't like the guy. For a time. I didn't either, but comeon! The kid has grown up to be one of the greatest hockey players on & off the ice! He's WON every where he's played! What he's still doing at his age & putting his team on his back especially after the Gentzel trade should be complimented! You sound like a real arrogant POS! What this man does for his community, charity & how he's grown as a player should be praised, not ridiculed! Grow the fuck up!

Monty chastised him for once on the bench after the shortie giveaway...rare time where B's head coach publicly all over a star player...that is a good thing. You need to have some accountablity when it happens...Cassidy had a way of destroying guys to the press, not the way to do it..Torts far worse at that technique...but how bout just give it to the player AS IT HAPPENS...there, done, move on. It's not like 73 isn't going to get 25 to 27 minutes in playoff games.

I'm writing about Sids on the ice constant complaining and whining. Only you couldn't figure out that my comments have NOTHING to do with what he does off the ice or what he does in the Pittsburgh community (I know what he does). The two are not the same. I'm not criticizing what he's done as a player performing as an absolute beast of a skater. Which he is...a phenomenal player. Praised his abilities throughout his career. But he's a fucking whiny cunt! And plays for an organization that blatantly denied that Matt Cooke and Ulf Samuelsson did no wrong in their actions towards Bruins players. Subsequently ended two great Boston players careers. You don't like my comments about your bitch ? Put me on ignore and go suck a dick you tool!

Then Charlie has the whole offseason to work on being back on the 1st unit.
