La citation complète de Karlsson concernant la célébration à genoux, le but en prolongation et la troisième période : « – Je n’ai jamais fait des choses comme ça, mais ça en valait la peine ce soir. Mon plus grand objectif cette année ? Facilement. Plus que ça. C’est l’un des buts les plus soulageants que j’ai jamais marqués, déclare Erik lorsque nous le rencontrons une heure après le match. – Mais si je n’avais pas fait ça, je ne sais pas si je jouerais mon 1 000e match samedi. J’ai attrapé une sorte de virus cérébral en troisième période et j’ai commis deux erreurs qui nous ont fait perdre une avance de 5-3. J’avais vraiment besoin de marquer ce but.

Is this real? If so glad he admitted it because the remedy marginally made up for the mistakes… time will tell
It jumped from Letang to Karlsson at some point in the 2nd period.
There’s been a bad case of brain virus going around the Pens defensemen for years. Someone should probably find a cure.
EK is awesome. He knows he fucked up and he’s willing to admit and fix it. Idc what the haters think he’s my favorite player we’ve traded for in forever.
I won’t lie, I was pissed to see all these mistakes from veterans on the two last goals. In perspective, they did the best they could and this is what sports are all about. The pressure must be tough.
It’s not hard to see on the back half of the season that the stress levels have been steadily increasing. The frustration on 65 was most notable. I wish they could go out and play looser. Play for fun, but I might be late on that.
Gotta respect is honesty and holding himself accountable
Props to him for actually admitting he sold… it was meant to be. We got an awesome celly and Sid’s 1000th apple
The problem here is there’s no clear cause.
Turnovers (Turnovid-19)
Letang overplaying the puck led to one goal
Pinching when up a goal in the third
Three separate issues – although clearly a link between turnovers and overplaying. Pinching is being too aggressive at a bad time.
Our third periods are either far too passive leading to waves of opposition attacks or the polar opposite and giving odd man breaks with 5 minutes to go. Not sure if that’s bad coaching (and I’d love to blame that baldy PP guru fuck) or terrible veteran decision making.
Seriously love the guy. Such an immense talent and just a great dude. Sure he’s pretty frustrating sometimes, but so is Tanger lol we take the bad with the immense good they bring. Legendary players
He’s must had a brain virus for years because he’s been a liability to his teams in his own end since came into the league. That being said glad he scored
God bless him. This is great content!
By winning in OT rather than regulation our estimated chances of making the playoffs decreased from 60 percent to 55 percent. Might loom large later on.
But at 10 million dollars a year you’re paid for not having brain farts. Pinching on the blue line when your winning, attempting to help your D partner and forget about the guy in front of the net, geez
Watching EK’s first blunder, im not sure he saw Larkin at all. He had his head on the puck carrier through the NZ and he followed him into the D zone without turning his head. Larkin slipped in behind the play. As a D man, you always have to be aware and guard the slot (which he didn’t do). But i don’t think he intentionally left Larkin open. He just didn’t look for him and got too focus on the puck carrier.
