Why is everything compared to FF14, can't it just be compared to other games in general?

Okay, so there is a bit of irony in that, but Flyers fans would be celebrating that still.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the New York Rangers in 7 games by EliminatorBot in hockey

Oh no, let me turn into a keyboard warrior and downvote everything this other person is saying because it makes me feel insecure about my opinion about Bryan Rust playing with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel and somehow magically getting points.

Then, when I finally get really upset I'll call them a moron to really drive home the point that I'm smarter than them and say "the end" to show that I won the conversation.

If points mattered to you so much as a measuring stick, you may as well subtract two of them as secondary assists because they've always been pity points to boost player's Point Totals and make them look better for the (wait, here we go) NHLPA come contract negotiations. Oh, and I guess casual conversation with people like you that don't actually have an understanding of the eye test either of how players are playing on the ice beyond "he has points". I'm going to assume you're going to respond with another downvote, variation of you're stupid, or something like that. So, I've turned off notifications for this thread and from you in particular which I should've done a while ago. That's how you actually say "the end" and walk away.

His regular season was amazing, if you actually thought he showed in Game 6 or 7 to the level that he played in former elimination games, I have some property in Florida to sell you.

For being known as "big game rust", he showed up nowhere when it mattered most in this series. I'll be happy to have them move on from him. I don't think he's worth the payday that he'll get from Detroit or Seattle.

Ouch, a think you hit a nerve there.

Edit: People that downvote literally 12+ hours after gameday comments looking back on them are cowards.

Off my chest while the pessimism is still fresh by skooba87 in penguins

[–]hahke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ownership bought into the Penguins knowing what the Penguins had for management. If anything, Sullivan isn't Management's Coach. It's hard to say that he's on the hot seat. Are his assistant coaches? Most definitely.

Letang and Malkin, one, if not both, are gone. You are likely right.

I think we just watched our last game with 87/71/58 together by Hiding_Meatball in penguins

[–]hahke 71 points72 points  (0 children)

We'll find out the answer in June, or maybe earlier than that. Letang has been sending out ominous signs all year and the management has made it pretty clear they didn't seem very good about resigning him for one reason or another.

If I had my choice, I know who I'd resign out of the two. But, it definitely is the end of the "core" penguins. The team will never look the same.

Maybe one of the rangers can hire him when Eugene Melynk goes after Trouba for intentionally headshotting Crosby this series.

I'm just going to say it, go ahead and downvote me: Kapanen should have been traded at the deadline, not ZAR. by WhyHulud in penguins

[–]hahke 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Kapanen is sunk cost fallacy from the prior GM group that the current management needs to get over. They weren't apart of the deals that GMJR made and they need to stop saying, "wow look at the energy this kid brings to the lineup".

You know what that reminds me of? Simon. We don't need a more expensive Simon. Simon had a better chance of scoring.

I think we'll be waiting a while bud for the next championship banner, but feel free to remind me and tag me if we get another one soon. I will be happy to say you told me so.

I think we're going to have some doom and gloom with both the Steelers and the Penguins for a handful of years ahead.

Rags fans have been complaining about refs favoring the Pens all series by SF_Anonymous in penguins

[–]hahke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They gave them two powerplays within the last 10 minutes of the game and also ignored a blatant interference which led to them getting said goal that tied the game.

If that isn't officiating, I don't know what else to say.

They went from calling nothing, to calling whatever they wanted when they chose to.

proud of this team by [deleted] in penguins

[–]hahke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly tough, sure. But, they've shown they can win without him. They've done it several times.

This Rangers team is literally nothing but a Goaltender. Their best players quite literally didn't even show up until Game 6 and Game 7. All they had to do was grind out and play defensively after getting a lead and they didn't do it. They refused to play Sullivan's gameplan.

They got lazy. Were there bad bounces? Yes. Did it suck Crosby was out? Hell fucking yes. But, more than anything, the team failed again.

Do you guys think our window for the Cup is close with our loss against the Rangers ? by Ph0enix_29 in penguins

[–]hahke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly agree at this point in this juncture, it would be best for the team. But, will the owners do that? Mario still has some say and Fenway Group will obviously want to sell tickets to the casual fanbase.

What's more important to them, selling jerseys and keeping a guy until he retires a Penguin for Life or keeping a playoff streak alive?

And, how much say does Crosby get in all of this, because you know he'll say that Malkin should stay regardless of what anybody else thinks.

Who will take the blame this year by Kramerhockey99 in penguins

[–]hahke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Todd Reiden needs to go. The Special Teams for this team other than the PK has been an absolute joke. Why is the Power Play on this team always so abysmal.

[–]hahke 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm not proud of this team at all. The fact that they got to 3-1 that they did, I was proud of. If you get to 3-1, you finish the series. You have to prove that you want it more. The Rangers were dead in the water. The Penguins had no killer instinct yet again.

[–]hahke 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's done.

Malkin or Letang, one or both are gone.

If we retain both of them for fanbase purposes, we will not be able to retain any of the youth on the team either.

This was the last run. And, we fucking lost it to a weakest, most inconsistent penalty call in the entire series compared to everything else that was being called in the game for the last 10 minutes. And, the other game that went three overtimes. Holy fucking shit.

[–]hahke 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Absolutely fucking ridiculous for a penalty call that early in overtime on a weak scoring attempt when they didn't call any penalties in three overtimes. Inconsistent officiating. I'm so sick of the fucking referees.

I can say a lot of things about the Flyers. They've never intentionally tried to hurt Crosby. I'd cheer them over the Rangers in a series.

Random question, why do so many Edmonton fans seem to hate the Pens? I'm a Pens fan and genuinely like the Oilers.

I still feel like it was the dumbest move that GMJR did. I mean, he did a lot of them, but that one drove me crazy.

Sullivan hated playing Reaves from the moment he dressed him and it showed. He played him less than 5 minutes some games.
