Low moral character
Strange strategy by the Penguins.
By dumping and falling back into a defensive shell, they essentially let Ottawa pull the goalie, get to 5 on 5, and skate the length of the ice on the attack.
All the while, the Penguins had their top PP unit on the ice. The strategy was obviously to focus on defense, otherwise more folks would be on the forecheck when Kunitz dumped it.
First of all, why fall back so much? Attacking even a little bit would keep the ice at 5 on 4. I can see being conservative, but don't send one guy in on the forecheck when you have the man advantage.
Second, why have your top PP players on the ice if you are going heavy on defense? Get your defensive players out there. Malkin doesn't belong out there in that situation unless you are going to attack.

Because Bylsma is overrated. Even smash88 could coach the Pens.

Horrible coaching by Bylsma. You called a time out and I guess the gameplan was dump it in and play D with Malkin and Sutter both on the ice? Huh? Malkin defensive left winger?

Hope this goes to 5OTs to keep me busy.
Don't try to explain yourself. It makes no difference here.
Only Sanjuro so far.
I'll be sober and asleep then, no podcasts.
You need a solid...
Don't feel bad man. I became a Hawks fan 4 days ago.

This is intense.
Don't see that happening with all these chances so far, one of them is gonna crack before too long.
Especially when he blows defensive coverage. So graceful.

It is just scary.

Cut the kid a break. He only started following the Pens 8 years ago and doesn't understand the nuances of the game.
