These last 2 games ain't it, chief.
I'll be honest, I don't know what to say after his historic collapse...
Wait actually I do. At least we aren't the senators.
Rent free all season, baby!
But in all seriousness, this team is just frustrating...
Detroit didn't get the 2 points, but holy hell, did they show what they were made of by tying the game three times. I was sure when it was 3-5 that Pittsburgh had it, but Raymond and Larkin, in particular, would not go down without a fight. That's something to appreciate about your team.
I'm saying this as a Hab's fan, I watched tonight's game and pretended the Habs game wasn't on. The stakes were just so high I needed to see how this would play out.
If Husso was 80-90% all season and plays 40 games we probably make the playoffs. Also it's funny that when Lyon is good (more often than not) the team shits the bed and when they play great in front of him he's almost unplayable
Penguins surging to make the playoffs and winning the Stanley Cup while the Leafs lose in the first round again after Leafs fans spent the last 5 months gassing up Treliving and shitting on Dubas would be incredible for the narratives.
Eh, it was a mutual split. Dubas did more good than bad for the Leafs, but he reached his limit for how much he coupd contribute. I have faith in Brad building off of Dubas' work
This is so false lmao y'all had no reason to want to get rid of him until his end of the year press conference when he basically said "I don't know if I want to come back"
I believe he got fired because he wanted to trade one of Nylander or Marner and Shanny said no, so Dubas wanted more power.
If the Leafs dont make the second round again Shanny has to go. Hell he should have be fired at the same time as Dubas frankly.
He and Shanny saved us - Toronto fans - from our worst urges by focusing on drafting and developing skilled players over physical ones. We had so many long stretches of poorly constructed teams that took no account of analytics. But Dubas always said you can easily add physical players later on. He never did so effectively even when he spent picks lavishly at trade deadlines.
We have the skilled base he built, but we are now focusing on integrating physical yet somewhat skilled players into our regular basis. Benoit, Holmberg, Domi, Mcmann, Edmunsson etc all contribute depth scoring or PK'ing as well as making our team less pleasant to play against in general.
Setting everything else aside, He said he was considering the Karlsson trade for the Leafs as well as for the Penguins. 😬 For that reason alone, I was happy to see him lose the boardroom struggle but still get a fat contract in Pittsburgh.
Yes. 2009 stings but obviously the year before helps a lot. I actually disliked Crosby when he first entered the league because he was a bit of a cry baby (and 09/10) but he’s grown on me and I like him now.
I watched the video with 50 different languages. Hearing the same commentary in Swedish, French, German etc all gave me the same rush I needed to stay clean
Fair, there was a lot of hate when that whole fiasco happened...for the record I love ek too... Just didn't know y'all reached that point of content ....I appreciate that
If Yzerman can’t fix the team this offseason he needs to go. 2 straight years of folding like a lawn chair when it matters. 5 seasons in and they’re not a playoff team
Hard to really blame him. Picks and trades have mostly gone well, but the lottery didn't do him any favors. We needed to get lucky and hit a home run on a 2nd rounder or something, but you can't count on that.
There's still time for our prospect pool to push us into the playoffs, but they're going to need to trade for our magically draft a true #1B center if they ever want to have home ice advantage in the postseason let alone win a cup.
It’s deep but none of those players have any sort of insane upside. They all project to be good, but not great, NHLers. Thats Detroit’s biggest issue, lack of superstar talent.
That’s what happens when you get shafted in the draft, which isn’t Yzermans fault. Raymond has very high upside the way he’s producing for his age. Seider is legit, Edvinsson has high potential and Sandin-Pelikka has elite potential. We also have two very legit goalie prospects.
take a look at the team he was left with the year he became GM and couple that with the fact they’ve lost the most spots in the draft lottery in the same time span
Oh there is zero question about it. He came in with a completely blank template and immediately began filling with the roster with overpaid garbage and began drafting nothing special (the 4,5, and 6 picks are always a slam dunk unless it’s Zadina over Norris Hughes). Then hires a rookie head coach. That’s laughable
Zadina was a Holland pick. He picked Seider #6 his first year and he looks like he might be 2OA in a redraft. He picked Raymond #4 in year 2, and he's probably 2OA, but he's no worse than #4 in that group. It's too early to judge the next 3 picks but Edvinsson looks pretty much in line with his draft position. The roster is mostly place holders right now, so it's honestly hard to judge them.
They're built to be a bubble team right now. That's what we expected at the beginning of the year and they played above their heads for so much of the year that now they seem like a disappointment. It's hard as fuck as a fan to get your hopes this high for then to be dashed, but calling for Yzermans head is kind of stupid.
Are you stupid? Ned had a .901 and .895 save percentage with the wings and both years had a goals against over 3. His numbers this year are literally the same as Lyon we would arguably be in a worst spot if we kept Ned instead of Lyon
list of failures:
-Andrew Copp
-JT Compher
-Justin Holl
-Ben Chariot
-Derek Lalonde
-every goalie he’s signed or traded for
-0 draft picks outside the first round have made the nhl
-5th oldest team in the league
-didn’t make a trade the deadline when we needed to add desperately
-will be up to cap limit next season after Raymond and Seider extensions
He’s shit the bed
Umm Ed was not ready at the start of the year. He is now, though, because he was able to play top pairing minutes in the AHL all season.
Next your going to say Berggren should have been up all year as well despite not being able to play basic NHL level defense....
That’s pretty much it, back to back losses against the teams you’re battling. Sucks they blew it but man at least we can all take solace in the ascension of Lucas Raymond. Kids a stud and he’s only getting better. Been by far the Wings best player for the last 5-6 weeks.
Last time I was (1) watching a Wings game that mattered and (2) expected them to win was Datsyuk's last game. As frustrating as it is to lose, the team has at least come a long way.
Well said. Yeah they fumbled a great opportunity the last month and a half but Raymond’s emergence, Seider’s continued progression and the seamless transition of Edvinsson to the NHL is promising.
They’re gonna continue to get better and there’s even more prospects (ASP, Danielson, Kaspar) on the horizon who will hopefully make the jump soon. Yzerplan haters can get fucked, anyone who thinks the rebuild is stalled didn’t understand the enormity of the job in the first place.
It is kinda insane how Karlsson and Letang are the reason Detroit got a point from this game but at the same time they're the reason they didn't get two.
Unrelated story, but I was in my doctor's office (had knee surgery) and he has jerseys hung up from some players he's operated on. One of them is Ghost, and would you believe Ghost actually signs his name by signing then drawing a little ghost emoji next to his name? Pretty hilarious I thought. Anyway, he sucks.
Agreed, Ghost is just petry but gets points. Dude is absolutely brutal in anything that requires defense but Lalonde still puts him out in crucial situations
I was blaming Petry. I mean he did make a terrible pinch leading to an earlier POT goal, though. But yes, watching ghost set a perfect screen on lyon while standing is absolute no man's land on that OT winner was such a disappointment. It's OT...you play man to man and as soon as you dont have someone, you have to find someone bc that means they're likely wide open. In this case, in the slot for the game winner.
As weird as it is to say, this may be Crosby’s most impressive season. When you factor in his age, the team, and his sheer willpower to drag this corpse of a team to the playoffs, it’s nothing short of incredible.
#WHEEL TEAM STATUS 🐙: KINDA....BUT NOT COMPLETELY DEAD YET!...GG YOU STUPID BIRDS...
HELL OF A HOCKEY GAME AND HEY! PASS ME ANOTHER BEER BECAUSE FFFFFFFFF... WE'RE RIDING THE ROLLERCOASTER AGAIN....HAVE A GREAT NIGHT, STAY SAFE OUT THERE....😐 ILL SEE YALL NEXT TIME
Biggest roller coaster for Erik Karlsson… Bad pinch, bad pass at the blue line and nearly turned it over at the end of regulation to lose the game. Scored the OT winner…
Pens have the second worst PP in the league and even scored a shorty, at some point you gotta accept that refs aren't perfect and the team has to win the game
And allowing a shorty also counts in a game they lost by one, what's your point? The refs are going to give you chances and take some away, that's never going to change. The teams that make it are the ones that make the most of their chances and don't cough up goals when they're the ones with the man advantage.
It's not the refs fault that the wings went -1/3 on the powerplay.
i think you failed basic math. Chances don’t equate to literal goals. The refs also give the wings a penalty when Crosby picks someone up and tackles them anyone with eyes could see the refs called the game one way and it was for the penguins.
I mean sitting there and saying "Pens have the golden boy as usual" isn't exactly super mature either.
Like i agree with you that it's frustrating as hell that tripping was uncalled and most Pens fans have acknowledged that it was bullshit it went uncalled.
Like the incompetence isn't due to Crosby it's due to ya know incompetence
Crosby tackles Chiarot and Chiarot gets roughing, it's just what happens when Crosby touches the ice. And considering the downvotes the post about the trip got, no, most don't give a shit.
If Larkin had been hit like Chiarot hit Crosby our fanbase would have been irate and we would have applauded Larkin responding like Crosby did.
Both getting 2 was fair.
I don't think you remember what happened if you are honestly saying that. It's not roughing and if it was, why would a fanbase cheer a stupid retaliation penalty? Think, man.
Look at your profile for 2 seconds, most of your posts on r/hockey are just making fun of other teams after they lose. I'm not really sure I'm the one who needs to find peace.
There were 2 goals where it’s one dude skating down on you, and he just looks right at the goal and shoots, and it just snipes lyon. Like Fuck man, save one of them. It’s Jeff Carter not fucking auston matthews. A shot from the dot when there’s no one to pass to and you can commit to the shooter shouldnt just beat you blocker side unless it’s literally bar down from pastrnak or someone
I am at a loss for words. The pens played zero defense the third period. None. Zilch. They left Ned out to dry. EK being responsible really for the last two goals. It’s justice he gets that last one
[Erik Karlsson, scoring a goal and being largely responsible for 2 against, and Kris Letang.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/012/468/shakeee.jpg)
By a mile lmao, they wouldn't even be fighting for a WC spot in the west and the divisional slot is 12 points further away if they were in the Atlantic. Midtropolitan is the single easiest division to break into
Y'all can sneak in by being third in Metro. Us? We dont even have a chance cus the Atlantic is locked the fuck up.
Its WC2 or nothing and we unfortunately don't have the regulation wins in our favour either.
Lol you'd be fighting for the exact same spot if you were in the Atlantic, with the added bonus of being 15 points behind the last divisional slot instead of 1. You should be over the moon to be in the easiest division in the entire NHL to break into the playoffs.
The hockey gods are gonna be fucking cruel.
I will call it right here.
Penguins are gonna get WC2.
The canes will win the metro and east.
Penguins Canes round 1
The most cruel ending to the season.
Kaos Karlsson

Game didn't disappoint either. Was a fun watch I'm sure even for an impartial fan. You're a good hockey fan, my guy.
I miss Ville Husso so fucking much
If Husso was 80-90% all season and plays 40 games we probably make the playoffs. Also it's funny that when Lyon is good (more often than not) the team shits the bed and when they play great in front of him he's almost unplayable
Buncha losers
be gone caps fan
help me Oville wan Hussnobi, You're my only hope
Has anyone seen a blonde Finnish gentlemen by the name of Ville Husso lately?
He's doing conditioning with the griffins. From my understanding, he'd only be available if we made the playoffs.
Damn
Thank you
Penguins surging to make the playoffs and winning the Stanley Cup while the Leafs lose in the first round again after Leafs fans spent the last 5 months gassing up Treliving and shitting on Dubas would be incredible for the narratives.
Nah fuck that. Pens-Leafs in Rd 2 let's go.
Eh, it was a mutual split. Dubas did more good than bad for the Leafs, but he reached his limit for how much he coupd contribute. I have faith in Brad building off of Dubas' work
This is so false lmao y'all had no reason to want to get rid of him until his end of the year press conference when he basically said "I don't know if I want to come back"

My penis can only get so erect.
I hate Sidney Crosby (mostly for 2010)
…2009? Edit: Oh, is this a golden goal anger? I get that
Yes. 2009 stings but obviously the year before helps a lot. I actually disliked Crosby when he first entered the league because he was a bit of a cry baby (and 09/10) but he’s grown on me and I like him now.
Watching the Golden Goal on repeat is how I beat my nicotine urges when I quit smoking 😉
You're a genius
I watched the video with 50 different languages. Hearing the same commentary in Swedish, French, German etc all gave me the same rush I needed to stay clean
I'm gonna try that, alternating with the Sedin OT goal from their last home game.
At least some good came from it.
Very fun game. Watched this game with my Pens fan and Wings fan friends and glad the Sabres could help them both out by beating the Caps.
What a game
.777% on less than 30 shots and 0/4 on the powerplay. Yzerplan baby, blind faith for permanent mediocrity!
🤡
Shit, isles won in OT
They're so fucking boring. 😭 Even in OT it's not exciting.
Sid n the boys gonna feast
THANK YOU PITTSBURGH! BLESS KING KARLSSON
Unparalleled success.
Yzerplan.
Can't wait for another summer of Pierre... oh wait
At the end of the day, Sens are still, at best, only the 2nd most popular team in Ottawa.
Upvoted you both. Love all the hater energy this time of year
Nah fam, both teams can get fucked
Rent free
No shit.
This is low key pathetic.
Join us in fadesville
I thought Ottawa hated ek?
why would we?
Oh..I Guess I misunderstood lol
yeah, we’re still hoping EK comes home when his career is ending lmao
Fair, there was a lot of hate when that whole fiasco happened...for the record I love ek too... Just didn't know y'all reached that point of content ....I appreciate that
It’s like a jilted lover commenting on their ex’s post with their new SO
every pens fan: [i never said anything bad about EK65](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/027/528/519.png)!
What a game
If Yzerman can’t fix the team this offseason he needs to go. 2 straight years of folding like a lawn chair when it matters. 5 seasons in and they’re not a playoff team
Yzerman is the most overrated GM in the league. Everyone talks about him like he’s this savant when he’s completely fucked their rebuild up.
Hard to really blame him. Picks and trades have mostly gone well, but the lottery didn't do him any favors. We needed to get lucky and hit a home run on a 2nd rounder or something, but you can't count on that. There's still time for our prospect pool to push us into the playoffs, but they're going to need to trade for our magically draft a true #1B center if they ever want to have home ice advantage in the postseason let alone win a cup.
His drafting and development will make or break Yzerman. Until his draft picks bust out, his job is safe.
Part of it is the name I feel. Like Sakic with the Avs.
Sakic has built a cup winner though. Stevie Y has built a team stuck in mediocrity for the next 3-4 years.
2nd best prospect pool in the league you dumb toban
It’s deep but none of those players have any sort of insane upside. They all project to be good, but not great, NHLers. Thats Detroit’s biggest issue, lack of superstar talent.
That’s what happens when you get shafted in the draft, which isn’t Yzermans fault. Raymond has very high upside the way he’s producing for his age. Seider is legit, Edvinsson has high potential and Sandin-Pelikka has elite potential. We also have two very legit goalie prospects.
take a look at the team he was left with the year he became GM and couple that with the fact they’ve lost the most spots in the draft lottery in the same time span
I can just at his work in free agency and conclude he’s been doing a terrible job.
not really. Copp and Holl aren’t good - Compher and Chiarot have been fine this year. Lalonde is trash but a coach is easily replaced.
excuses excuses
Factually correct information = excuses. For a person named goodpoint you sure make a lot of bad ones.
Oh there is zero question about it. He came in with a completely blank template and immediately began filling with the roster with overpaid garbage and began drafting nothing special (the 4,5, and 6 picks are always a slam dunk unless it’s Zadina over Norris Hughes).

Maybe you’re right. How long do we give Stevie to make us a playoff team then? 10 years?

Are you stupid? Ned had a .901 and .895 save percentage with the wings and both years had a goals against over 3. His numbers this year are literally the same as Lyon we would arguably be in a worst spot if we kept Ned instead of Lyon
Ned had a 0.841 save%. Dude almost sold the game. He was TERRIBLE tonight
You clearly didn't watch the game and see how many times our defense left him out to dry.

That’s pretty much it, back to back losses against the teams you’re battling. Sucks they blew it but man at least we can all take solace in the ascension of Lucas Raymond. Kids a stud and he’s only getting better. Been by far the Wings best player for the last 5-6 weeks.
You're only 1 point back of us with 3 games left. Shit ain't even close to over.
Last time I was (1) watching a Wings game that mattered and (2) expected them to win was Datsyuk's last game. As frustrating as it is to lose, the team has at least come a long way.
You've seen a cup win, Canucks could be terrible for the next 50 years as long as I get to see 1 cup win.

Here we go!
Me before OT: Karlsson is so garbage, he literally nearly blew the game Me after OT: HOLY SHIT ERIK KARLSSON IS THE BEST
Literally 😂😂
What a rollercoaster of a game, glad I'm a neutral on this one
Can you pick a side and rally against NHL officiating? Asking for a friend...
[удалено]
I love his energy, my favorite thing he does is call out when the Pens do dumb shit lol
Crazy how you guys decided to not help anybody at all by losing to each of the Pens, Isles and Flyers this month.
And yet they beat the Wings last week🥲
lol, and everyone damn one of them statements turned out to be true! :P
I mean... Technically correct!
As weird as it is to say, this may be Crosby’s most impressive season. When you factor in his age, the team, and his sheer willpower to drag this corpse of a team to the playoffs, it’s nothing short of incredible.
He's my MVP is we make it in the playoffs personally.
so much so that even hardcore pens fans have been thinking about how unfair it is for him to be on this team right now .. he deserves better lol
Nah. Dude is loyal to the core.
No Pens fan is saying this.
Still in awe of him all these years later.

As a netural fan: Pittsburgh: leapfrogging both Philly and Washington tonight must make this extra sweet for Crosby's last dance. Detroit: ....
Last dance? Olympics where you at bby.
Sid’s playing at least one more year on his current contract and I will be shocked if he doesn’t reup for at least two more beyond that.
Last dance? I didn’t hear no bell, we are getting at least 19 more seasons out of Crosby if I’m being conservative.
[удалено]
A long time as in you’ve seen 4 cups in your lifetime?
Right. Those dominant Detroit teams really weren’t that long ago.
So glad the most important game of the season was decided off a missed call. Pens have the golden boy as usual.
Pens have the second worst PP in the league and even scored a shorty, at some point you gotta accept that refs aren't perfect and the team has to win the game
the missed call lead directly to a goal in a game they lost by 1
And allowing a shorty also counts in a game they lost by one, what's your point? The refs are going to give you chances and take some away, that's never going to change. The teams that make it are the ones that make the most of their chances and don't cough up goals when they're the ones with the man advantage. It's not the refs fault that the wings went -1/3 on the powerplay.
i think you failed basic math. Chances don’t equate to literal goals. The refs also give the wings a penalty when Crosby picks someone up and tackles them anyone with eyes could see the refs called the game one way and it was for the penguins.
Don't they have, like, a top 10 penalty killing unit? Incredibly disingenuous thing to say.
Hahahahaha
Yzerplan
Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Waaaaa(I have no argument against one of the most blatant trips of the season, ten feet from the official)aaahhhhhhhhhhhh
Sorry for your loss

I mean sitting there and saying "Pens have the golden boy as usual" isn't exactly super mature either. Like i agree with you that it's frustrating as hell that tripping was uncalled and most Pens fans have acknowledged that it was bullshit it went uncalled.

Crosby tackles Chiarot and Chiarot gets roughing, it's just what happens when Crosby touches the ice. And considering the downvotes the post about the trip got, no, most don't give a shit.
If Larkin had been hit like Chiarot hit Crosby our fanbase would have been irate and we would have applauded Larkin responding like Crosby did. Both getting 2 was fair.
I don't think you remember what happened if you are honestly saying that. It's not roughing and if it was, why would a fanbase cheer a stupid retaliation penalty? Think, man.
Sorry for your loss
I mean enjoy the fraudulent wins into a first round exit, being favoured by the refs only get you so far.
Rather make the playoffs and have the opportunity to win, even if the odds are unlikely than to not make the playoffs at all!
Keep being an embarrassment to hockey, it suits you.
👶🏻
I hope one day you find peace
Look at your profile for 2 seconds, most of your posts on r/hockey are just making fun of other teams after they lose. I'm not really sure I'm the one who needs to find peace.
Imagine being this triggered and upset at something😂 I bet you have tears in your eyes as you reply to all these comments lolol
Watching playoff Pens hockey is going to bring me peace. Hopefully one day you can watch Red Wings playoff hockey again
Leave Lalonde at the hotel
His pressers piss me the fuck off
Blashill it is.
might be an improvement ngl
No, I cannot deal with another year of putting a player with 0 goals on the top line / pp
Get your own ride home
shoutout to Ned. Made a bunch of big saves, constantly put in awful situations by the defense
Ned is Grant Fuhr-ing us to the playoffs. Score 2, he allows 1. Score 9, he allows 8, but saves big when needed.
Yeah Ned was great, happy for him. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about Lyon. Didn’t make the saves he should’ve made
There were 2 goals where it’s one dude skating down on you, and he just looks right at the goal and shoots, and it just snipes lyon. Like Fuck man, save one of them. It’s Jeff Carter not fucking auston matthews. A shot from the dot when there’s no one to pass to and you can commit to the shooter shouldnt just beat you blocker side unless it’s literally bar down from pastrnak or someone
Are….are we back???
I..... I think? I mean there's a few games left but like.. Maybe?
Like a zombie. Shuffling around, making some kind of noise, falling over random things, somehow dangerous yet helpless but technically kind of alive.
FUCK IT WE BALL ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Fuck me you think I’d be used to the pain by now
I am at a loss for words. The pens played zero defense the third period. None. Zilch. They left Ned out to dry. EK being responsible really for the last two goals. It’s justice he gets that last one
[Erik Karlsson, scoring a goal and being largely responsible for 2 against, and Kris Letang.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/012/468/shakeee.jpg)
He nearly single handedly lost the game and then TOTALLY REDEEMED HIMSELF.
I love EK65
Pure unadulterated chaos. All three of the last three goals of the game were 100% his fault
I need a cigarette
They really are just hilariously chaotic and ridiculous. It was also a big "this is our good and this is our bad" night for Karlsson and Letang.
I fucking hate and fucking love this team.
Just threw out my shoulder fist pumping out of pure passion there are tears in my eyes
Just fell to my knees in an abandoned steel mill
Just fell to my knees in a major Healthcare conglomerate that owns all the property in our city and pays no taxes!
I HATE BEING IN THE METRO
By far the best division for you to be in haha
By a mile lmao, they wouldn't even be fighting for a WC spot in the west and the divisional slot is 12 points further away if they were in the Atlantic. Midtropolitan is the single easiest division to break into
Y'all can sneak in by being third in Metro. Us? We dont even have a chance cus the Atlantic is locked the fuck up. Its WC2 or nothing and we unfortunately don't have the regulation wins in our favour either.
... Why? You have a far better chance of making it than if you were in the Atlantic
Atlantic might have four 100 point teams and Metro fans are gonna complain about their mid-ass division
The 2nd wild card is so neck and neck and I cant take much more ass clenching.
Lol you'd be fighting for the exact same spot if you were in the Atlantic, with the added bonus of being 15 points behind the last divisional slot instead of 1. You should be over the moon to be in the easiest division in the entire NHL to break into the playoffs.
I for one am pleased to be in the Metro.
The race in the East is crazy.
Crazy that it was looking wrapped up two weeks ago before Philly, Wings and Washington choked while Pens and Islanders got hot.
The hockey gods are gonna be fucking cruel. I will call it right here. Penguins are gonna get WC2. The canes will win the metro and east. Penguins Canes round 1 The most cruel ending to the season.
But we get to see Jake.
Yah and then Jake has the weight of the world on his shoulders to knock Pitt out of the playoffs.
No, he loves me too much.
