Thread: yup playoffs
You have the 2nd and 3rd pairings swapped. Matheson will probably be back for game 1. Gaudreau is going to be in the lineup ahead of Zohorna. Once again, he is a finesse player despite his size.

If you think the Penguins are going to beat any of the metro teams with size and toughness then you`re clueless. You beat those teams with speed and skill as we have all year. Playing into their game means we lose. Playing smart and not getting away from the Pens game means we win.

Again, if you watched any of the games this year, listened to the coach and players speak and really had any clue how any of this works then you would know that but here we are....

When do we win? We play with speed and skill and use it to have the puck and control the pace of play.

When do we lose? When we let emotions run high and get caught up in scrums and try to act tough. Then teams bully us and we don`t play our game. Its literally been the same story for 10 years.

So do you see why trying to insert a 6 6 European guy who isn`t physical AT ALL to try and change an entire teams identity from speed and skill to rough and tough to try and beat actual teams who are made for rough and tough is just a really, really dumb idea?

Of course you don`t see it but I will continue to point it out to you until maybe one day you will decide to tune in to a game or two and see what I`m talking about.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>here you go again, pretending Ceci is better than Marino and that Friedman is a better player than MP......next.

Also, Zoho can hit people. Don't think he can't.

You also clearly don't watch games. They don't win games when Jake is out there getting abused all game.....a long with the rest of the team.
You are over here thinking teams want to have a skills match and you say I'm clueless :tearsofjoy
But hey, maybe you'll get your wet dream on 5'10 Erod put back in the lineup in time to get swept out the 1st round.</div></div>

Never said that. Just making it clear that they are the 2nd pair. I`m sure Marino doesn`t mind either I don`t know why you do so much...

Anyone can hit anyone. Zohorna chooses not to. He is a finesse type player. Putting him in the lineup does nothing to make this team tougher.

They don`t win games when Jake is out there? Weird...he leads forwards in in icetime and they have a top record in the NHL? They have winning records against all playoff teams except Boston?? You have absolutely no idea what you`re talking about...

Erod played really well for a while. He might get back in. I really like Gaudreau though. Depends on injuries.

The only wet dream was you hoping Erod got hurt which is messed up..

Thread: Sullivan continues to make horrible decisions
I honestly think you are just a trolling Caps fan or something at this point...

Still, incapable of accepting that Matheson and Ceci are the 2nd pairing despite that being the case basically the entire year.

Zohorna is not a physical player.

Being happy that a player gets hurt is pretty messed up.

Sullivan and the staff have done an incredible job this year so far this year.

Yes, the Pens get abused. It`s an issue. They don`t have the personnel to try and play a physical game though. Their only chance of winning is by speed and skill. Play Pens game, not Capitals/NYI/Boston styles. That is the only way to have success and is why we won in 2016 and 17. When we get away from our game that is exactly what the other teams want. When we are using our speed and skill teams can`t contain us.

But again I know you literally don`t watch any of these games so I`m not surprised you don`t know that...

Thread: playoffs
Dude what are you talking about? We have outplayed Boston, Wash and NYI with speed and skill. Why would we change that and try to play their game? That would make us lose. We dictate the game by playing with speed. Playing their game would just mean we lose.

They aren`t going to do this. Like, 0% chance. I know you`re gonna try and argue that. But regardless, they won`t do it. because it defies logic. The Pens have had success doing the exact opposite of what you want. Also Zohorna isn`t even that type of player. He is big but he really isn`t physical. He is a finesse player. ZAR is more physical than Zohorna and there is also a 0% chance ZAR is taken out of the lineup for either of those guys.

Also absolutely hilarious that you still refuse to admit that Ceci and Matheson are the 2nd pairing.
