These people really gonna blame this mess on the goalie

[@macalicious0260]

Title should be, “How to blow your playoff chance!”

[@justinwillness3162]

we blew it against the isles and canadiens

[@Mike_Jones68]

We've known this fact longer than just tonight...but still agree

[@iionccub365old]

It really should. This game was horrible for the penguins

[@MrSteelerboy1]

Any goalies down in the minors that can stop a puck?

[@TheAvsFanatic]

Lol nope.

[@justinditzler4168]

No sir.

[@lawrence142002]

This game's highlights video should've just been the intro and then the outro because there really weren't any.

[@JekitySnekity]

Sloppy play of an old team against a powerhouse. Sort of expected this considering the absence of Petry and Rutta (I like Kulikov, but I think P.O Joseph is more important, he plays faster and is pretty young.) Was somewhat surprised when I saw Friedman on the ice, but it is understandable, though I would've preferred to see Ty Smith instead. Igor played well for the ones in blue tonight, one of the few players I was interested in that game. Can't blame DeSmith or Jarry as much as I could blame the defense, as Jarry is usually alright and DeSmith is about the same, we just keep letting the opposing team be unmanned. Throw away this sour loss and try to bring it back to kick down the Pens v Sens matchup Monday.

[@hateEdge83]

At least the rangers made some nice acquisitions at the deadline eh?

[@TheAvsFanatic]

Yuh, they got that Tarasenko guy and the Kane guy that Panarian loved or something.

[@jorma123456789]

When was the last time you heard "what a save by Jarry!".?

[@JordBrown91]

He showed us exactly who he was in that islanders series and we all just decided to ignore it.

[@ChristopherRyan1776]

Jeez man.... some of the worst hockey I've ever watched. Those dudes look lost. I love Sully for everything he's brought to the Pens... but this feels exactly like it did in 2016. We have good players... we need a new skipper. We can talk about Hextal after our playoff streak is broken.

[@VeN0m88]

Def need a new head coach

[@c.9914]

Teams must love knowing they're almost guaranteed points. Injures their teammates *and* get wins, where's the pride? Hope Pettersson is OK.

[@livetotell100]

DEFENSE! DEFENSE! The Pens have NONE! NONE! I'm SICK of commenting on the same thing. EXAMPLE: The Rangers 2nd goal. Sure, it was a power play. Because Malkin can't keep his s**t together. 3 TIMES! YES, 3 TIMES, the Pens could have cleared the puck! Did they? Of course not. It's the Pens. So it's 2-0 with a few seconds left in the 1st period. Offense wins games. DEFENSE wins Championships. The Pens have forgotten that. So sick of the same thing since 2018. Which is 5 years.

[@lc2858]

A weak attempt to clear for sure but Kane had a masterful stick check that allowed the puck to get to Fox.

[@royberg6657]

Miss the playoffs fire hextall and move forward, somehow

[@wolfmauler]

Shouldn't be here in the first place!

[@jamaldee2355]

Also we shouldn’t resign jarry maybe we look somewhere else for a goalie

[@Mike_Jones68]

It isn't just Hextall...they need an actual goalie. Tired of seeing embarrassing goals get scored that shld never get in. Start there at minimum. Never cared for Hextall so I don't care what happens to him

[@Ando2k10]

@@wolfmauler He's here because Sid went to Mario to stop the trade Rutherford had set up to move Letang to Montreal. Mario stopped it, Rutherford resigned, now we have Hextall.

[@Ando2k10]

Not just Hextall. All of them...Hextall, Burke, Sully, assistants...all of them. It's obvious that the coaching staff is having their voices fall on ears that have tuned them out.

[@guitarlab7772]

So. Who misses Rutherford? What happened to all of the "I'm so happy we get to see 87/71/58 together for one more season!!" people? I guess they got what they wished for.

[@jamaldee2355]

We had some good times in the past at least but it’s time for a rebuild

[@thecrew2128]

Both goalies left in bad goals,but let's face it they're trying to play like they use to by getting more shots then the other team they don't want to adapt to the game they have to change to get good quality chances on odd man rushes from the neutral zone

[@justinditzler4168]

One of desmith goals went off his facemask, he had the goal covered. Wouldn't exactly say that's his fault. Jarry, otoh is a god damn sieve.

[@slickrick1670]

everyone blames jarry and desmith (yes desmith isn’t very good a lot) but recently it had been totally the defense fault. jarry is a good goalie but he has had absolutely no help. stop blaming jarry and blame our horrendous defense

[@decoder88]

Defense has been bad but been better recently (except this game). Jarry definitely let’s pucks by that should be routine blocks. He looks like he doesn’t care and not in ready position to block shots.

[@Ando2k10]

@@chickenalaking1319 I'd wager that he's playing injured, and Sully feels an injured Jarry is better than DeSmith. Tokarski's shown he's not that good, especially behind our horrendous defense.

[@westonmartin6164]

Does anyone think Jeff Carter should be on the team cause i don’t he is the worst player in the NHL Comment what you think

[@emmittmatthews8636]

I think he doesn't care anymore.. that he just doesn't have any drive to really play anymore at all. He went from BJC to BLJC (Beer Leauge Jeff Carter)

[@jonpenguin303]

He should've been traded. He is old, slow and tired. The only reason they keep him is for face offs. Sullivan is too loyal to his veteran players. He is definitely not the player he was a year ago.

[@chickenalaking1319]

Coach Silly does. Lol

[@ironcity4182]

Well stopped at 5 goals cause we look like dog 💩

[@juniorjr4815]

Good lord, did we leave all the defensemen back in Pittsburgh. That was pathetic.

[@johnrencheck2283]

5 pps no goals outshoot them no goals no forewards getting back to play d or cover anyone near the net they looked like they were skating on sand jarri or desmith had no chance in this game slow no d play theyll be one and done for 4 th year hextall needs to go this is a terrible team theyve lost 4 to carolina all games to islanders all but 1 to rangers its not looking good gents

[@russartist6359]

Shots on goal says it all🫣

[@warpath6717]

This team is too old and too disinterested in playing defense. For every good play Letang makes, he makes 8 bad decisions.

[@iionccub365old]

Penguins send up a minor league goalie that can stop pucks, make DeSmith the starter for more games than he’s been getting recently, and get more defense. At this rate, “math is in the penguins favor still” is gonna be questioned. I don’t think the playoff streak is gonna stay alive at this rate. In fact, I know if we don’t grab our -- together, we will miss the playoffs and be a joke team. Should the offense have scored 1 goal? Yes. Should we have won if our team got our -- together on the power play? No way. Our defense was that bad.

[@rivin3180]
