Giveaways, losing puck battles, half ass skating. Not sure what was up with him. I thought Horvat was ok. I saw him forecheck, make hits. Man, is Petey ready to be our number 1 centre once Bo leaves? Maybe he was the player crying uncontrollably when Bruce left. He hasn't looked the same. Looks like 2021/22 Petey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both were on camera screening the goalie and neither played much of a physical game. Both were out of position, Neither was in much of a rush to do anything. I saw the lack of urgency and the fact that they got hemmed in once with the Lazar line out there (if I remember correctly?). Just whenever the real bad breakdowns happened, I didn't see much wrong with OEL's coverage... and oh boy did breakdowns happen tonight. I was embarassed for Spencer Martin having to make 5-alarm saves back-to-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Best way to sell your season ticket holders is a top 2 pick Aquaman. Nobody is gonna see a winning streak at any point as a success or something to get excited about. Hopefully his shortsightedness isn’t blinding him to this but I doubt it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I’m glad this team showed Tocchet what they’re capable of right off the bat. This is the type of nonsense he has to start rooting out - even if his shelf life suffers for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might be alright giving up on this season at least. They’ve sure shut down Demko past initial estimates. Plus, they don’t seem to be calling up some of the more promising players from Abby. Here’s hoping anyways. The real test will be how much they sell at the deadline (and for what in return.) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Here's my read on Rutherford: He gets his reputation from GM'ing two Stanley Cup winning teams. But why did the Pens win those Cups? Because they had the best player of the last 20 years, Sid Crosby, a second center in Geno Malkin who was an Art Ross and Conn Smyth winner... and a topnotch goalie in Marc Andre Fleury... all drafted by Craig Patrick when he was GM. And in 2016 he lucked out with a rookie goalie in Matt Murray who totally played over his head... the best of his career. In those years Rutherford just added small pieces to a strong core... he didn't make any important moves. He hasn't drafted any particularly great players. Arguably Rutherford found himself with a really strong team and was able to tinker a bit and come off with wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad alice french Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 16 minutes ago, MaxVerstappen33 said: Yes and no. Properly balanced teams have won cups with ordinary goalies. Benning was paying big bucks for proper backups and that didn't work either. Goaltending has been terrible all year including Demko since the beginning of the season. It had a lot to do with our start. I can’t recall many teams getting through 50 or 60 games with two minor league goaltenders and coming out with a winning record. I just think that it’s hard to properly assessed this roster with us bleeding goals like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is giving the opposition way too many 2 on 1's and 3 on 2's... not to mention giving the puck away in their zone... that is nothing to do with goaltending. A goalie who is facing that kind of challenge is going to let in goals... no matter how good they are. Demko made the team look good last season... he should have won the Vezina. But in the process he destroyed himself physically and was not ready this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He joined them in 1994 so he spent 12 years building that team into a champion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
