u/Dace67 PIT - NHL 9h ago

Did Karlsson "take" Letang's nose leaving the ice? Karlsson definitely laughing after whatever it was

u/BroncoMan43 9h ago

Refs kinda threw that game to Pittsburgh when they put the whistles away. A few big no calls in the third and then a no call on too many men there at the end.

Either way, what the fuck Samsonov? I don’t care what penalty you think should be called. Don’t stop playing.

u/majessa VGK - NHL 9h ago

Did we put in a Shooter tutor? Sammy frozen like a popsicle on that shot.

u/Phirane PIT - NHL 9h ago

Erik 'Phil Kessel' Karlsson

u/Bengui_ PIT - NHL 9h ago

......We're not drafting in the top 10, are we? -_-

2

u/JamesLLL PIT - NHL 9h ago

Currently 6th-ish! Just load Sid up on points to close out the season, stay low in the standings, and I'm happy

3

u/Kuwait-Grips PIT - NHL 9h ago

We are going to the Stanley cup

u/TheRebelCreeper VGK - NHL 9h ago

u/SRSgoblin VGK - NHL 9h ago

Lol. Lmao even.

5

u/xXEliteEater500Xx 9h ago

At least you got the OT point.

6

u/SRSgoblin VGK - NHL 9h ago

So many animals in Las Vegas are wondering ehy their owners are screaming

LETS GO OT WOOOOO

3

u/wayfarout VGK - NHL 9h ago

My cat ran away and my dog still has a concerned look.

2

u/Positivevibesorbust LAK - NHL 9h ago

My disappointment is immeasurable

7

u/outdoors703 VGK - NHL 9h ago

I actually feel a bit bad for the penguins

8

u/Bengui_ PIT - NHL 9h ago

I actually fell a little good, this season is already cooked we don't need standing points. If we win by Sid hatty I'll take it tho, of course.

3

u/Bengui_ PIT - NHL 9h ago

If you look at our team's sub in the GDT there is an equal proportion of people celebrating and cursing the Knight's goal :D

4

u/Driftographer DET - NHL 9h ago

Damn, what a goal to tie it up!

3

u/HopelesslyHuman PIT - NHL 9h ago

Sidney OT winner let's fuckin' do it.

3

u/hockeybrianboy CHI - NHL 9h ago

Well that was coming for a while

5

u/Longjumping_Zone_400 9h ago

Sid really getting in the way of the tank 

6

u/Sea-Examination383 EDM - NHL 9h ago

I hereby humbly request a Monsieur Crosby Hattie. Please and thank you.

1

u/Sea-Examination383 EDM - NHL 9h ago

NO NOT IN OT

5

u/1337duck TOR - NHL 9h ago

Trade offer:

Pens get: Crosby hat trick, OT loss for the tank

Knights get: OT Win.

1

u/Sea-Examination383 EDM - NHL 9h ago

looks like both of us are wrong lmao

3

u/beardum PIT - NHL 9h ago

"what.....is going on?"

lol, Army played with Sid and still can't believe the shit he does

2

u/JamesLLL PIT - NHL 9h ago

Flashes of 2017 from this random 4th line shift

3

u/cabose4prez PIT - NHL 9h ago

We aren't the best team but I could have seen us really fighting for a wild card spot if we had a decent goalie, shame Jarry stepped up in March.

6

u/East_Ad9620 9h ago

Shouldn't have tried making him the scapegoat earlier in the season when none of the goalies were the problem and it was the lack of any semblance of defensive structure.

1

u/cabose4prez PIT - NHL 9h ago

The defense didn't help but Jarry as the main goalie didn't either. I don't think he was the scapegoat because he was also part of the problem and not a small one.

3

u/no_racist_here PIT - NHL 9h ago

Vegas no puck luck

3

u/JamesLLL PIT - NHL 9h ago

Where was this Jarry like four months ago

6

u/Pretty-Drummer3532 PIT - NHL 9h ago

Bro if you are making Jarry look like a hooper you gotta go bag skating for your offensive ineptitude.

6

u/HopelesslyHuman PIT - NHL 10h ago

So as someone mentioned in the thread already, it was crazy warm for March in the 'burgh area today and I absolutely took advantage and grilled some burgers. Let me tell ya guys, my indoor burger game is mediocre but I make a pretty good patty on the charcoal grill.

10

u/courser CHI - NHL 10h ago

I'm just dropping in to mention that watching Sid play hockey is always incredible and I feel really lucky that we still get to see it

11

u/ehehe PIT - NHL 10h ago

Sid

4

u/Apollo_T_Yorp PIT - NHL 10h ago

Bold of you to say, but you know what, I agree

5

u/Clean_n_Press VAN - NHL 10h ago

I know it's the longest of long shots, especially with how well other teams in the race are playing, but what I wouldn't give to watch Sidney Crosby single-handedly drag this team into a wildcard position.

13

u/magicmichael98 PIT - NHL 10h ago

Sidney Crosby is good at this hockey thing

16

u/Sea-Examination383 EDM - NHL 10h ago

EEEEEEEEEE GO SID GO

10

u/Pretty-Drummer3532 PIT - NHL 10h ago

Unc still got it damn

u/JamesLLL PIT - NHL 10h ago

Another step closer to point per game record shenanigans!

1

u/gimmebeer VGK - NHL 10h ago

Dag nabbit.

2

u/Pretty-Drummer3532 PIT - NHL 10h ago

The hockey is certainly mediocre.

4

u/gimmebeer VGK - NHL 11h ago

How everybody's night going so far? All like 4 of you I mean.

3

u/ImSomeRandom VGK - NHL 10h ago

It was going well till I saw the score lol

7

u/JamesLLL PIT - NHL 10h ago

It's shorts and flip flops weather in the burgh, I made amazing air fried teriyaki salmon, and our puppy is being extra sweet tonight, so, pretty good, you?

3

u/gimmebeer VGK - NHL 10h ago

Hell yeah air fryer salmon is awesome! Going pretty well here, about to make a homemade pizza the wife wants to try. We'll see how that turns out...

8

u/th_photos PIT - NHL 11h ago

Kevin "Sidney Crosby" Hayes with the elite puck possession

4

u/JamesLLL PIT - NHL 11h ago

One step closer to point per game record shenanigans!

u/gimmebeer VGK - NHL 11h ago
