  1. It’s time accepted the truth it’s over we had amazing run but it’s over and if do make playoffs we will get killed we should have sells and traded jarry dumo zucker Danton josh

  2. Even though this should have been Pittsburgh when tonight, you have to give a big shout-out to Dylan Ferguson who made his NHL debut from the ECHL where he one a championship with the Fort Wayne Komets. Even though I still despise the Komets, another huge congratulations to Dylan Ferguson. It was well deserved for you brother.

  3. Ruhwedal is an idiot. He was out of position, then fell and got a penalty.

  4. This team can't even beat an ECHL level goalie. When that happens, it's time to hang up the skates. This was the last Penguins game I'm watching this season. Over the last 5 years they've been a disappointment. But this season is just pathetic.

  5. Anyone see a pattern here? Shots on goal 2 to 1 losing games? First, Jarry needs to study a few pages from Shesterkin's playbook and the Pen's offense needs to slow, set, and confuse before shooting. What happened to the dizzying puck handling we'd seen crush the other's defense?

  6. Get doumlin off the ice, another player left open in front of the net to score the game winning goal , what a bum

  7. Sure the Penguins had plenty of chances but my goodness you got to beat this team! Playoffs I don't think so

  8. If they miss the playoffs, it’s more likely ownership boots Hextall. Honestly hoping they do at this point so the owners have more leverage to try to put out this dumpster fire and bring in a new GM and shake things up a little bit.

  9. I think a LOT of us Pens fans have screaming in posts ALL OVER THE internet about our LACK of quality goal-tending with an utterly LAZY defense…this has combined for EVERY SINGLE one of our losses of the games I've watched last several years…and I have watched MOST of them !!! Our offense is pretty darn good consistently…we NEED goalies and several guys who can actually play aggressive defense PLEASE !!!

  10. Gotta love this feel good story. No matter what happens in the rest of his career. He’ll always have that game. That is something you tell your grandkids about.

  11. Sens had 50+ shots on toronto last game and lost so they tried a new strat. lol

  12. Both posts and in on a play jarry rarely misses and Dumo rarely misses blocking that pass too. That cross check on Sid that went uncalled is wild to me too. Officiating needs to be better, pens shoulda had a 5v3 twice in the 3rd period

  13. After Chris Kunitz absolutely shattered Sens dreams we probably deserve this still this long after

  14. Hopefully Gibson signed in offseason….& get a quality backup for next year. And buy ONE WAY bus tickets for Carter…Granlund…Poehling…& Heinen …

  15. NOT Jarry fault! You idiots! Bad defense, especially no.8 if Sullivan love him so much they can leave together! Gentzel with them!
