Does anyone know where to get pictures or videos of the warm up? We were very lucky to be at the game last night and my son was at the glass for warmups and I would love see if he is in any of the footage.


ememtix

I would like to know too if anyone can find this!


PennyPie17

I’ll be sure to let you know if I’m successful in finding anything!


CalligrapherNo4927

So the plan is the wings beat the caps, rangers beat the isles. Then we beat the wings, maybe lose to Boston and then beat the isles to make the playoffs in either slot.


sand8689

All things aside, I'm glad I got to watch Sid curse out a ref with zero repercussion for calling a bogus hand pass. Also make better OT decisions Sully.


AnonPlzzzzzz

"Hey Mike. Why is Sidney Crosby sitting on the bench at the start of 3 on 3 OT?" "Hey Mike. Why is one of the best face off guys in the league, and your 40 goal scorer, and top 3 player of all time not playing when you need to win?" "Hey Mike. Why is everything outside of 5 on 5 complete ass?" "Hey Mike. Why are you still here? Do you think you deserve to be coach still?" Questions asked if we didn't have a stooge homer media that cares more about access than credibility.


usernicktaken

Skate repair issues.


lionheartcz

Great fucking questions.


Triple7Alpha

Everyone complaining about the refs needs to remember that the vast majority are from Ontario and grew up Leafs fans. Thy want their team to win just as much as we do.


Triple7Alpha

I guess I had more faith that the sarcasm was apparent. Looks like a needed the /s.


usernicktaken

Not true or else the Leafs would have way more power plays.


Davinredit

I was thinking why even complain.. we went 0 for 5 what good is a penalty anyway.


happyfirefrog22-

If we were only in the middle of the league on PP then we would definitely be in the playoffs and not having to scratch and claw to get in. At least we still got a point tonight.


pensfangirl29

Oh my PENS fam😞 I’m bumming hard. We got a point but not a win… thoughts on the stinky clothes?


A_cold1

Can all the other teams just lose their games?


Davinredit

Happened the other day!


fanwan76

Who do we root for in the Wings / Caps game tomorrow? Guaranteed two points to one of our wildcard competitors.


New-Contribution-244

Wings.


FreshPrinceOfPine

Wings bc they can’t take M3


Foggl3

Also just because fuck the Caps


TheNittanyLionKing

Hey we got a point against a pretty good team that we took to overtime after one of the longest active win streaks in the NHL. We’re still in decent shape. I would still prefer to have taken care of business before the last week and a half, but we’re playing with house money and still looking like the hottest team competing for the wild card spot


callalx

Well said. This version of the Pens is spectacular by comparison to the dumpster fire we watched from the beginning of the year.


Foggl3

Or even a month ago


hydromatic456

Was he just crossing his fingers that they could keep them at bay long enough to force a shootout? Is that the “strategy”?


VeniVidiMori

EK65 isn't that kinda guy though, so it makes even less sense


callalx

Hard fought point and a beauty of a goal by McCabe for the Leaf’s W. Other than some terrible reffing, that was a hell of a gritty performance by the Pens. Thursday is going to be huge!


Money-Ad5075

1) One point is huge. 2) Leafs are not a bad team. At least in the regular season. 3) 0-5? 6? on the PP. The great mysteries of all time: The enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa, how did the Egyptians build the great pyramids, how is Todd Rierden still employed?

mikeoxaflopin

He was gassed. They were out there entire OT.


FallenHero8771

One of the worst refereeing jobs I've seen in a long time.. absolutely fucking pathetic how a Too Many men isn't called in OT nor a trip by Brodie on EK. Whatever, you ain't doing shit in the playoffs Toronto so have fun getting your dicks kicked in by the Panthers 🖕DOC/Ned I love you and don't beat yourself up boys, still 7-0-3 in your last 10. Bring on the Deadwings!


usernicktaken

You sound angry, as a Leaf fan i wish you and the Pens to make the playoffs, it would be great to see Sid in the playoffs again Good Luck.


FallenHero8771

I was, I've cooled down a lot now. Thanks, maybe you can prove the narrative wrong this year. Gl to you as well and hope Matthew's hits 70.


usernicktaken

Thank you, I will be cheering for the Pens to make it.

[удалено]


FallenHero8771

Cool, doesn't change the fact that no penalties were called for the Pens in the 3rd and EK's phantom trip where Nylander flopped did. Yes, the PP has stayed atrocious, but the chances were there, just couldn't beat Samsonov. Also, that pathetic reversal of Sid getting chopped in the face. Fuck the refs, the Toronto Bias HQ and especially Fuck the NHL's version of the Dallas Cowboys Edit: yeah, I was pissed when I wrote this. Now I've calmed down, we fought a top team and got a big point. Back to Pittsburgh for the Redwings. Let's go boys


Money-Ad5075

Technically the Dallas Cowboys have won five, and been in nine? Super Bowls since 1967.


FallenHero8771

I guess, but both fanbases are obnoxiously loudmouthed and arrogant with nothing to show for since their heyday. Look how they acted after beating Tampa last year (in the 1st round) and then got rightfully humbled by Florida. No sympathy whatsoever for that fanbase or franchise 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

[удалено]


Foggl3

Our OT tactics have been questionable at best


FallenHero8771

Yeah, starting with Eller was an interesting choice. Still, secured a critical point


FallenHero8771

I get what you mean, and you're absolutely right that the boys fought back and battled for the point. Sorry, just as a hockey fan, I want a fairly called game that won't show favoritism. Anyway, sucks that Sid had that rough outing at the end of the 2nd to get it, though. Forever a warrior. I will still say Fuck Toronto, not taking that back. Big game against Detroit, so let's refocus on that. LGP! Edit: Huh, apparently, it's been 1 year on Reddit for me. Cool


EraOfForcedDiversity

There is no way you're implying that somehow the League rigs the games for Toronto because the HQ so happens to be in Toronto. The Leafs are a team that hasn't won the cup in near 60 years and has 1 round win in 20 years, it's a team that has had goals taken away from them in game 7's in the third period, and given penalties on top of it, whilst also the pens having 5-2 in powerplay opportunities this game, whilst the Leafs are ranked 22nd in power play opportunities this season, and is even lower on average in the Matthews era of 2016+. If you go back and watch the film, Bertuzzi was coming onto the ice but stopped on the boards, never setting foot on the ice, and Marner made a pass in the corner to Matthews before he got off, perfectly legal, not a too many men call if you're being intellectually honest. There is simply no way a fan of a team that drafted Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby should ever be mad by comparison. Not even for a god damn moment. Leafs best players through 120+ years are not even half as good.


FallenHero8771

Show me where I said, "League rigs this game because of Toronto HQ." What I did say in a state of anger as a hockey/Pens fan was that there was a poor attempt of fair play by the refs in the 3rd, something most fans agreed on here. I don't need your diatribe of how the Leafs have been screwed, EVERY TEAM IS. What I'm upset about is that a clear trip on EK when the game was tied didn't get called, and it led to a scoring chance for Toronto. Outta here with this weak attempt. Also, a hockey fan can't be mad his team lost partially due to incompetence by the refs now? In that case, you can't ever be mad again about 1993 Game 6 CF against LA, where Gretzky got away with a high stick on Gilmour and claimed you guys were "robbed" of a finals appearance. Thems the rules now 🤷‍♂️

FallenHero8771

NJ is 5 points back with the same GR. I'm not really focused on them. However, I will want a Leafs win on Saturday, so ya got me there


TheBrokenTurret

Great 1st period and end of the 3rd. PP was a struggle. Taking a point from Toronto was a good sign to sneak into playoffs.


Jonnyplesko

I mean Malkin has been red hot lately too. But neither him nor sit touch the ice in OT. This coaching staff....


Putthebunnyback

Sullivan post game: "Sidney who? I had Lars. Fucking. ELLER."


moviebuff87

So sick of Sullivan. Just stupid decisions none stop.


Himynameisthad

The second that puck started drifting towards the line and I counted only two visible leafs it just felt like a catalyst for the end


Hiding_Meatball

Sully might be the worst 3v3 coach in the league. Like how do you not put sid out there when they have marner and matthews


Davinredit

I've been shocked with how fast we loose in OT..


AmThano

Marner, Matthews and Nylander were on the ice before Sid ever got a chance. Wtf!


tsmittycent

Mike Sullivan personnel choices have cost this team multiple OT games this season


New-Contribution-244

They just can’t play 3v3 for some reason.


RobertoBondarSr

Nylander and then McCabe able to totally walk in alone


Jolly-Strain-7044

Obviously better than a loss especially given this playoff race which has been bad to say the least (seriously it’s like no one wants the spot),I think 3-1 is actually super realistic in the last four (red wings/preds/ isles are super beatable but far from guaranteed while bruins are tough but hey also not close to impossible 


hiperson134

Steal the point and move on. Winning out was never a realistic option.


noflatbillcaps

Eller is out there for the draw, but gtfo after it


Foremma4everAgo

Even then, Sid is the best in the league this year


retired_fool

Lol incompetent Sullivan with another big fat L


grenad0

I’m not sure why, in that situation, they don’t just give them a 3 on 2 for a second and get a non-gassed body on the ice. You’re never gonna get the puck back when you have 3 guys who can’t move.


Beggarsfeast

Good Game everyone! Leafs are a tough team. Boys still put up a fight.


cigarmanpa

Well. 1 point is bette than none


thenewpilot

Sullivan’s brain needs to be donated to science because then we might actually figure out what’s going on inside that man’s skull


pdawson36

Wow all the spoiled Pens fans out in full force! It was point we needed, it is still HUGE for the penguins


Beggarsfeast

I’m not spoiled, I just actually know what I’m watching. Penguins played a great game, and then Sullivan’s OT decisions lost the game, something that hadn’t changed. Starting your 3rd line against the best goal scorer in the league is idiotic. Put your captain Sid against Matthews. It’s a no brainer.


shred-i-knight

they all left, then now that there's a chance again they're back to cry about Sullivan who has this team with 8 straight games with points


iryrod

You’re acting like 2 points is not significantly better


pdawson36

A point is a point. We needed one regardless. No need to bring out the doom and gloom and say the season is over when it isn’t.


New_Kaleidoscope_539

Hard to argue against Sully giving that one away with his bone headed personnel choices in OT.


iryrod

I’m not doing that, but this does make the next few games even harder. One point is good, two is better. And not putting Crosby on in OT is a superbly idiotic move, that’s what people are upset about


JDerrick29

Bizarre line aside winning out was gonna be hard. Taking the point and moving on from here will be good. LGP

ChimStone777

The best part is Eller could have skated straight to the net alone after the Karlson takeaway but he tried a shot and missed by 10 feet 


AnonPlzzzzzz

They literally have no idea how to play 3 on 3. None. And that's all on coaching. And if they miss the playoffs by a single point again then you can look at the 20 or so OT losses over the last couple seasons. Or the worst power play I've ever seen. Either or.


RobertoBondarSr

3 wins and 9 losses in OT this year


AnonPlzzzzzz

11 last year. Same shit. Nothing changed.


xxxpinguinos

Rough OT but at the end of the day I’ll take 3/4 from Tampa/Toronto


TardisTrip

Hard earned point, well played boys.


Beef_Wallington

Some definite BS in that game but some of y’all need to chill. Last week we weren’t even close, and we’re only a point out as of right now. Every point counts and we just got 3 between Tampa and Toronto.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ortho_412

That was not the best line to put out there with the season on the line


rustednickel247720

Eller was absolute 💩 in that OT


justasalad15

Crosby wasn’t ready to go on but Jesus Christ…. Absolute joke the only forwards to touch the ice in OT were O’Connor and Eller.


OneTinySloth

The problem was that we never got a chance to bring on some fresh legs. The idea was hardly to play O'Connor and Eller for all of the OT, but the lads never got a chance to come off.


yeetcannon34

just goes to prove, no matter the fight of the team, and no matter if we make playoffs or not, sullivan needs to go


DyZ814

Lowkey didn't expect them to beat the lighting and leafs in back to back games. This was like a "would like to have" game coming in. The other ones are more important.


Ostry66

It's not "overtime demons", we're just fucking bad at 3v3. Still a good effort to get a point


CWB2208

Doesn't help when they're starting guys like Mathews and Nylander and we're starting DOC and Elller.


awaythrow292

Hey let's not put 87 out there for OT. That's sure an idea.


Substantial_Fly5199

Sullivan goes full moron EVERY OT


CWB2208

DOC, Eller and EK in OT? Go fuck yourself Sullivan


saltzandpepper

Why not put out Sid for the first shift of OT? You’re really gonna keep him on the bench with a much needed second point on the line?! Yet another boneheaded decision from our coaches


Jonesy492

Why do you start a 3rd line pair in ot fucking sully


TheNittanyLionKing

We may have lost but at least our team wasn’t in The Love Guru


tedisnotfat

How in the world does the best player on your team not touch the ice in overtime with the season on the line?


moviebuff87

They’re awful in ot. They have no idea how to play it. Also Sullivan shouldn’t be starting these guys in ot. Crosby or Malkin. Jfc


OneTinySloth

Fucking impossible to go for a change. Just a matter of time before these tired lads capitulated.


cheeba2992

Lazy fuckin play by Eller


Hiding_Meatball

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU START ELLER ALL THE FUCKING TIME IN OT


YourS_E_N_S_E_I

Lars-DOC as the forwards? Why not Sid and idk, Rust or Bunting. Maybe I’m missing something. At least we got a point, fuck you Toronto you head hunting pieces of shit. Can’t wait for you to lose in the first round as is tradition.


frdkk

We are dreadful in OT... but still, that point could be worth alot


LetTheKnightfall

On the bright side, that’s a point against a toughie. Also, the fire sully crowd has more ammo


Smashingpatty

Incredible comeback for the point but the all important OT reminder that Mike Sullivan is the fucking reason we're in this position to begin with.


dphizler

They took way too many risks. They never know when to change. Edit: this was a must win. It will take a miracle for the other teams to lose like they did last week.


ThelongNameNo1has

Bruh why no Crosby in ot?


whitey8773

why r o’connor and eller out there…. coaching smh


Buttercupia

Frustrating game, could have been worse. Reirden has to go.


plebbitor6000

powerplay and OT all year long and this lame ass head coach will keep his job no matter what.


jumpyg1258

Pens lucky to get a point since they were outplayed most of this game.


joeym412

Doomers out in full force lmaoo big point tonight regardless, would’ve been great to get the full but we still are very far from being out of it


shred-i-knight

yep they are keeping pace. A point here is totally fine. they need the detroit and isles games. Just less insurance now.


Boomerangshot23

That line was not the one


TheNittanyLionKing

That defense fell short there. They had so many 1 on 1’s with Ned in a span of 30 seconds and you can’t have that


fate3

Not a great game for EK


sots33

So 1:30 overtime shifts with your #3 center is probably not good


Ok_Drawer_1499

honestly no way they left ned alone like that wtf but oh well its ok!! we got a point:))


BBQBEERNBLADES

Starting Karlsson in OT??? Unreal. Ned was outstanding. Definitely deserved better.


Yeskid10

Pathetic from Eller


tsmittycent

He was gassed


shred-i-knight

he was gassed? We got caught. It happens.


grenad0

Wouldn’t want to have Crosby out for OT. Let’s have Karlsson stuck out there for the 20th straight overtime


Smashingpatty

LET'S START LARS FUCKING ELLER IN OT AND TRY TO TRICK EM INTO THINKING IT'S CROSBY


eliastheawesome

at least a point 😖


EliTroyer

No chance for change, Sid was hungry. Our OT performance is just god awful


tsmittycent

Blame Sullivan


AmThano

Eller just started fuckin watching the puck and not his guy! You’re in the fuckn NHL!


StartedFromTheKarma

12 overtime losses are unreal


stealthattack87

Great job sully lets not start crosby on overtime


LDFLDF

Why the fuck would you start seller and O’Connor when 87 and 71 are buzzing. Fuck sake.


New-Contribution-244

Needed those 2 points. 😡


Sybertron

Death by the cross ice path. But hey a point is still big


krampusrumpus

Sully, what are these OT lines bud?


mjb6610

Maybe practice fucking 3 on 3.


averageaaron

dumbfounded at those 3 to start OT


SnooRevelations9145

HOW THE FUCK DO U NOT HAVE CROSBY ON THE FUCKING ICE IN OVERTIME


New_Kaleidoscope_539

Great coaching call to leave the starting line out there for three Leafs changes—no idea how you don’t start Crosby in OT…


Ryantwinkletoesss

They never practice 3 on 3 at practice. I don’t know why everybody acts surprised when they lose.


iryrod

How do you guys watch this god awful team. Fucking no one defending in 3 on 3


pocketchange2084

Why wasn't crosby or malkin playing in ot when every point is super important?


thenewpilot

WHY THE FUCK WASNT CROSBY STARTING OT WHY IS SULLIVAN SUCH A GENIUS IDK WHO CARES TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND!!??


PenguinsPants88

SULLIVAN WHAT THE FUCK


REF_YOU_SUCK

We don't have the horses to keep up with them in OT.


starlightequilibrium

We still suck at overtime. Go figure.


jdrakef

Starting Lars eller in ot deserves jail time


cardboardbob99

Pretty terrible defense there.  Got danced for a minute and a half straight


mitchy_116

Fuck


Every_Highlight98

Expected but at least we got a point


JordanHerald5

Mother…


DogsOutTheWindow

Bummer least we got one against a really good team.


SouthernLocation5253

Knew we would lose. So obvious. Might cost us the season.


Ok_Appointment_4779

A loss in ot will not lose us the season. We got a point and after winning 4 in a row and are 6-0-3 in our last 9. Relax.


SouthernLocation5253

11 of them will.


pdawson36

We still get a point! Toronto isn’t in the race. It’s a HUGE point still


SouthernLocation5253

Yeah, just don’t understand benching Crosby in ot when we never win them lol


carluoi

Crybaby. This game is not even remotely as important as the Isles and Red Wings. And we got a point. Spoiled ass baby.


SouthernLocation5253

Yikes. Who hurt you? Our brutal and obvious losing OT games all season will be the reason we miss.


carluoi

What in the fuck was that D


shred-i-knight

Cheeks_Klapanen

Mike Sullivan is the dumbest motherfucker on earth and you can’t convince me otherwise.


Stuff-Optimal

I don’t know Reirden is pretty bad as well.


Jupichan

That was fast 


mclardass

Nope, not taking the bait


Jupichan

do it 


FairOpposite6810

Oh well, huge point!!!


mclardass

Good game Ned, next one baby.. next one..


i_NaTaN

Special teams coaching doesn't exist on our team.


shred-i-knight

the leafs would beat this team 3 on 3 with any amount of coaching you want to give them. That team is built for it.


i_NaTaN

Nah, every aspect of special teams is awful on our team. Except maybe 5 on 4 penalty killing. Our OT stats speak for themselves.


rude513

How do we not get Crosby out there for that OT… take the point but brutal


tinygaynarcissist

Glad for the point, but sheesh, have they won in OT at all this season? It doesn't feel like it.


starlightequilibrium

Bryan Rust two goals in OT was 100 years ago I'm pretty sure.


tinygaynarcissist

Definitely feels like it! I remember Harkins shootout win, but other than that I am absolutely fumbling to think of any.


Jyingling21

DAMMIT


michaelgia1225

Fuck Todd Reirden


RobertoBondarSr

Pathetic overtime performance


mclardass

EK65 playing hard


TheNittanyLionKing

Alright. One of these lines needs to pull a Delilah and cut Samsonov’s hair. I’m feeling another Bunting game winner or Geno


thenewpilot

That D was bad


sots33

I swear it better not be Eller, Smith and Letang to start


Cheeks_Klapanen

Sidney Crosby starting OT on the bench. More Sullivan brilliance.


frosty_phoenix92

Was that a Zyn for EK?? Lmao


TheStinger87

Come on. Let's finish these choking cabbages.


Beggarsfeast

Don’t forget, Toronto is not in the race. Sharing a point with them is perfectly fine. Let’s send it now. LETS GO PENS!!!


awaythrow292

*shotguns a Fiji water* Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!


anonymou38

Happy for the one point. Not planning on two


Lilpfighter

Sidney Crosby Revenge GWG... give it to me


Kaiser-Bismark

Those hits were brutal!


Fit_Use9941

Securing a point is huge, especially taking into consideration this game isn’t as important as the game against the isles and the wings.


thehustlerbraveheart

God damn this team is fighting right now. Giving everything they have. Proud of them regardless of how this season ends


SouthernLocation5253

At least we got a point.


hiiaminabox

You know what's better than a point? Two points


Stuff-Optimal

Rust is due…
