Hey DK, watching the last two games against Carolina, Pittsburgh cannot operate at their pace. But I did notice after about 30 minutes the Penguins started hitting and this is Carolina's achilles heel. It explains the results of the playoffs when the game gets into a grind. If teams keep it open and skate then watch out. Last night though, they deserves the props, but so does Skinner who gave up six and was the Penguin's best player. Let's face it, that was not a good game for turn overs! One observation from last night, it was a horrible…….horrible night for Letang. If he's tired, if he's behind the play, if he's turning it over, why pump him out for 22 minutes? We saw this decision making with Sully, and now Muse……..stop rewarding out of position, poor decision making, turnover heavy hockey….no matter who it is! The OT, Malkin and Rakell haven't a clue about positioning. They got a point on a night they didn't deserve so thats good, but sad that as soon as 60 minutes is over, you expect them to lose.
Hear ye, hear ye. Taylor Hall is dogshit. But let's be honest, the Hurricanes are not going to survive a 7 game series against ANYONE in a playoff spot this season. They have far too many blemishes than years past. Penguins blemish is 3v3 overtime and the shootout.
DK's Daily Shot of Excuses
Don’t forget the CAROLINA STICK GRABBERS in OT 😂😂. Didn’t know you could do that in front of refs, and they let you play on…
Diving maggots, and idiot refs life Garrett Rank fall for it like the chump he is
The constant diving was embarrassing for the hurricanes, the refs, and the league. The game turned into penguins couldn’t touch a player while the hurricanes played whack a penguin. I haven’t hated a team before but I hate the hurricanes after this cry bully hockey they are playing.
Sucks for the loss, BUUUTT that was a very entertaining game. Our Pens are a great team who can compete with the leagues best. Especially on the road! If (when) The Pens make the playoffs, it'll at least be 5 on 5 in OT with no shootouts! I like their chances better in that situation! Dont you?
DK – Do you think it's time to address the Letang problem? His decision-making has become a massive liability. I'm not trying to bash the guy, but it's a problem. I think it's time for a Girard (when healthy) or Shea pairing with Clifton for the 2nd pair, and let Letang take a lesser role.
Do the hurricanes dive or are they just soft? Could be both.
The diving Carolina hurricanes reminds me of the 2008 -2009 Detroit Red wings.
The Carolina Divers?! Are you freaking kidding me? 😂
Lots of Canes fans in the comments today 🤣 Y'all won, what's the problem LOL
Easy answer, win it in regulation
Pens were awful most the night. Fact. I'm taking this as a huge statement though. Even at their absolute worst, the Pens are freaking dangerous. There will be no 3on3 or shootouts to save these teams from them if they make the playoffs.
Man Kris Letang… how can you have so much experience and look so lost on the ice 😬 literal pylon activity on the third goal Stu Skinner needed just a little bit of extra help last night but he got like 25 minutes of Letang 💔
The Refs pick up on it😡 They FAVOR certain teams! Just like in the NFL & YES they’re told which teams by the higher ups!!!
Either by just straight up telling refs or giving the refs “big hints” towards which teams🤷🏻♂️🤯🤬
I think the shootout/OT is in their heads more than anything the last month or 2
Thank you DK. They played a great game and made some mistakes, it does not help when calls are not made. Great show DK.
Crosby didn't touch a guy and he got a 3rd period penalty that lead to a goal. Horrible call as well.
I'm starting to dislike Carolina. Can they stop trying to stick grab Penguins players and doing other sneaky garbage to get an upper hand everytime the Penguins play them, and instead just play hockey with skill and grit. They got too much skill on the ice to muck it up against a team in playoff position they are fighting against. Andre Svechnikov will answer for the cowardly stick hold and cross check he pulled against Crosby when they meet back in Pittsburgh. I can guarantee you that. There was absolutely no need for that. Svechnikov is a good enough player not to engage in such foolishness that could be better served with his strong on ice talent. Look Carolina played a strong game and are a strong team in general, but I don't respect in some ways the way they attempt to sway a game in their favor and then play victim afterwards. They are honestly starting to remind me of the early 2010s Flyers in that they'll bait you into getting upset but play victim anytime their is pushback. They obviously are not anywhere near as obnoxious as the early 2010s Flyers but they seem to be trying to imitate them.
Taylor Fall
You had a 5 on 3 and DOUBLE the powerplay opportunities the canes had. Cry harder, loser.
OTLs are killing us. Most in NHL. 5-16 in OT. If we can just be .500 in OT, we're around 90pts rn.
Letang's vast experience does not translate to the play of an experienced player.
Agree DK, first thought after game ended, Diners, Dives and Divers .
You are a clown! You know less than nothing about hockey. You were fine with the BS call that gave your team the 5 on 3.
Y'all need help. Canes historically are towards the bottom of the NHL on penalties awarded to them. The Penguins played an atrocious first half of that hockey game. Without Stu bailing them out it would not even be close. Hell they scored on YOUR powerplay. We can all agree across the board that the officiating sucks. But to say the Canes are "divers" or sell any more than any other team out there is crazy. Maybe if you didn't have a million offensive zone turnovers last night and didn't give up a SHG you would have won. Don't go bitching about officiating or the Canes because you've lost the last 2 games against them.
The NHL as a league will always be second tier, Crosby is back in his first game since the Olympics, gets slashed on the back of legs in front of the referee , no call. The NHL treats its Superstars , like they're 4th liners ! NBA , if a sniff of foul on Lebron James foul called , NFL if you were 1 yard from Tom Brady when he was passing the Ball, penalty flag.. NHL Bush League !
GARRETT RANK. Need I say more? The preciousness with the center ice faceoff for OT, kicking Crosby out of the circle, was the cherry on top.
Im a fairweather hockey fan, but Ive learned to hate games that are officiated by Garret Rank
They have such a lunchpail team.. really Aho.. and i guess Javis and Staal.. the best players. Jimmybob, Stankoven and some others .. just throw it at the net hit a few skates and it goes in.
I was really hoping the pens would have traded for Zegras going into this season.
I appreciate your comments about the shootouts but Crosby, Letang and Malkin used to be better in shootouts. Malkin hasn’t been great in them in recent years but there was a season when he was almost automatic. I remember he did a spin-o-rama on Carey Price when they were still legal. I think that this whole shootout thing has gotten in their heads. The shooters look too indecisive and are trying to react to the goalie. I think the shooters should be ready to only have a couple of options selected before they shoot. Pick a move and go with it. Letang had two moves that he always used and he was pretty effective. Kunitz was the same way. They need a mental reset.
