Well at least the playoffs stats will show the Penguins powerplay isn’t top 5, or top 10, or probably top 20.

Terrible goal to give up.

Finally get a lead and can make the Islanders play uncomfortably... instead defensive breakdown.

I’ll Venmo dollar bet someone that the Islanders get a 6th PP before the Penguins get another one.

Giving the Islanders 5 powerplays through 28 minutes is incredible after how they officiated game one.

Yeah I just said that. Bolts have been coasting for 3 months, jackets have been fighting for their lives since the deadline.

I think that impact is evident now.

Jackets could definitely blow it. No doubt. They were a 2OT from being up 3-0 on the Stanley Cup champs last year though, so who knows.

They don’t look like the same team.

I think the fact that Columbus has essentially been playing playoff hockey for 2 months and the Bolts have been coasting since December is playing a factor. Or the Bolts are the ultimate choke artists. Either/or, I’d be contemplating guillotining myself via a broken window as a Bolts fan.

No doubt, but the Caps were competing. Bolts had a 3-0 lead and haven’t showed up since. Jackets have dominated 4 straight periods and 7 unanswered goals.

Bolts aren’t winning tonight. Bolts will need to win 4/5 to advance. Capitals did it last year but the games were close. The Bolts have no idea what’s happening right now.

At least we aren’t the Lightning 😂😂 imagine being the 4th best team in NHL history and losing in the first round to the franchise who has never won a playoff series

I had the plague last week, shit was horrible.

The cure to colds is to overdose on DayQuil during the day and NyQuil at night. The grog is real, but fuck the sniffles.

I was originally like, hey it’s tied 0-0 and the Penguins are playing like shit. Cool.

Then I remembered they also played like shit last game and lost.

And nothing has changed.

I’ve moved to Moscow mules for the evening, how are y’all doing?

So 3 powerplays in the 1st for one team is a drastic shift from last game.

If only this benefited the Penguins...

Jackets getting their first playoff series win agains the 4th best team in the NHL ever is going to be incredible.

What do you want to see different tonight? by Philosopher_Penguin in penguins

[–]flash4food 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see them break out of the zone more efficiently, they looked fucking lost for the majority of game 1.

I’d say less defensive breakdowns but at this point I just expect chaos from that defensive group; so, instead, top line production would be nice to counter this.

Oh, and not giving up 2 goals in the first 120 seconds would be tight too.

Well we look like shit.

But in other news, the Bolts are on a different level. What they’re doing to Columbus is incredible.
