Penguins postgame: Anger and seething frustration in OT loss

Still not quite expecting them to make the playoffs. Sad to say. Just don't trust them with all these teams so close.
Nice job Dan. I do disagree with you on Novak. There is not much there. I don’t even know when he is on the ice. He is average in small spirts at best. Otherwise anyone can do the same thing he does.
Also, my guess is the pens are top 3 worst teams giving up goals in third period. Definitely the worst among current play off teams. Guessing. That is the only thing of major concern.
Nice to see u smiling Dan.
That was abad break in OT.
Karlson was busy giving the puck away.
This game clearly displayed what happens when the goalie has an average performance…the D just isn’t consistent or good enough. Example is not only the 3rd Islanders goal but also Shea’s bonehead play giving up the puck in front of the net leading to a goal. Just too uneven.
Rakell gotta go that’s my opinion tho
Shea and Karlsson look horrible the last 2 games at least!!
Appalling number of turnovers but still had a chance to win. Not very many pens had a strong game.
Pens VG team, shitty Goalie
Dan, thanks for nice report and shame on referees 😢
I've been becoming a fan of Novak. Great passing, vision, stickhandling, and playmaking.
I was at the game, shea and way too many penguins mismanaged the puck. They kept giving the puck back to the isles in dangerous places. Skinner was brutal too. That was a very winnable game and they blew it. I hope they are pissed and take it out on buffalo on thursday.
Give Karlsson a spatula instead of a stick.
Pens suck lol
The Kindel and Giroux plays weren’t the same, it’s not irony. And he wasn’t screened on the fourth goal.
