Les Penguins concluent la campagne 2022.23 alors qu’ils se dirigent vers Columbus pour affronter les Blue Jackets. Les Penguins ont ouvert le score en supériorité numérique dans les cinq premières minutes avec un but de Kris Letang. Les Blue Jackets, Andrew Peeke, ont créé l’égalité 1-1 avec 17:48 à faire en 2e période. Les Penguins prennent les devants 2-1 un peu moins de quatre minutes après le début de la dernière période sur leur deuxième but en avantage numérique de la soirée, celui-ci venant de Jake Guentzel. Guentzel mène maintenant les Penguins avec 36 buts en 78 matchs cette saison. Avec 3:25 restants dans le temps réglementaire, Emil Bemstrom a trouvé le fond du filet pour égaliser le score, et le match passe en prolongation. Johnny Gaudreau l’a remporté en prolongation pour les Blue Jackets, et c’est la fin de la saison 2022.23 des Penguins.

SMH. Time to rebuild. Who’s first on the chopping block?
Lol
Rebuild by firing Hextall.
Definitely not the end I was hoping for. From a hot start in October to a 7 game slide, from a 5 game streak to a 7 game streak, then a 6 game loss streak to inconsistent alternation, losing to the Sharks but topping the Avalanche. Then a 4 game slip, then a hot 4 game streak, then another 4 game loss streak to where we'd alternate. Perfect example of just how inconsistent the Penguins were this season. Crosby and Malkin pushed hard for a 17th consecutive but the rest of our team wasn't driven enough.
In my opinion Burke and Hextall's firing would be best for this team. Sullivan was a good coach, and I believe he can change, but similar play to our cup runs in 2016 and 17 to now won't work, our team is just too slow. I'd say drop Carter, Granlund (unless its just rough for him to come to a new team, which I somewhat doubt), probably Heinen, Dumoulin (not too sure after his last few) and maybe trade out some of our older defenseman for some younger ones, maybe Ty Smith, but I haven't seen enough of Smith to create a solid opinion.
Likely get a new goaltender or get the situation sorted. Jarry is usually alright, but his proneness to injury causes him to miss alot of games and become inconsistent in the net. DeSmith I'd say is mostly only great when he plays a one off game to rest the other goaltender. Perhaps John Gibson, or maybe the goaltender we signed to an ATO Joel Blomqvist (seeing as how he is only 21, Im kind of shaky on him)
For the Cup, I believe Boston is likely to win, but I'd also like to see:
– Wild (haven't won a cup since its debut)
– Golden Knights (my go to team when the Penguins fall short in or of the playoffs
– Devils (I believe they've had enough time rotting at the bottom of the league)
– Kraken (it'd be cool seeing a young team win it)
– Oilers (?) (Just want see McDavid win what he deserves for his effort)
– Maple Leafs (as much as I want them to break through, the curse will likely stop them)
That game was a perfect example of the season . No Defense , No PP , No win in regulation . Can't even beat basement teams . When do the firings begin and who's first ?
A pathetic microcosm of the entire season.
Nothing unexpected happened. This game was their season in a nut shell. Columbus DIDN'T even want to win this game. Columbus sat down half their team. So they would have a better chance in the lottery. Pens=Cluster F**K! From management, coaches, down to the players. It's not that they lose, it HOW they lose.
Welp, see you next season boys. Yinz fought hard this year despite not making the playoffs. I’ll always and forever be a diehard fan of this team and bleed black and gold 🖤💛
Pathetic.
I keep Crosby and Letang… probably try to trade Malkin but not sure..
Until we address THE elephant in the room – inconsistent goal-tending and lazy defense – this will be the story of the Penguins post-Fleury.
And even with all that if the penguins had just held onto their 3-1 3rd period lead on the Islanders they would be in the playoffs.
Jarry stinks.
This is the perfect example of this season we didn’t make the playoffs because we couldn’t beat these teams that have a losing record and and at the bottom of the league
Happy didn’t make playoffs cause been swept very cleanly
Aging team…. Bad goaltending…. Weak blue line…. Would’ve equaled another 1st round exit. Crosby and Malkin have 1 more Cup run left in them but they need a solid team around them to do it.
I still love my Pens.
🤷♂️
I've seen 5 Stanley Cups in my life, endless world class talents, etc.
You can't really "rebuild" with Crosby, Malkin, and Letang all with NMC contracts.
So.. move on from Hextall and Burke, retool as best as possible, and they could be a playoff team again next year.
I don't see a real path to a Cup any time soon though..
The playoff streak produced a ton of great memories that I will always cherish. Thank you guys for 16 incredible years in a row and 3 championships along the way. 🐧❤️
Does anyone think Crosby will own the Pens one day??
The end of Jarry 😢
The Urinatintree video's going to be glorious
first time in my life you guys won’t be in the playoffs. thanks for the memories and cups, and may next year bring more luck!!
let’s go pens!!
So long penguins 🐧 see ya October 2023
Mike Sullivan's successes appear to be more the result of GM Jim Rutherfords skill than Sully's. Hopefully, ownership will recognize and correct the Hextall mistake and the mistake of resigning Sullivan and dump them as well as Jarry, Carter, Grandlund, Petry.
The inconsistencys of the season summed up in the last two games how the mighty have fallen hoping for one more cup run for Crosby Malkin and Letang let's get it next season
Highs and lows. Fans have been treated to greatness. Should not have ended this way, though. Not while having a healthy Crosby. Family time for the players, hopefully lots of planning ahead from the org. on scouting and analytics, coaching, GM and Hockey Ops., everything, to get into a competitive position especially as the East got tougher.
Enjoy your summer fellow penguin fans And I’ll see y’all next season let’s go penguins
see ya next year, boys
“Didnt play the right way” “thanks for the memories” cant score 5/5, cant defend consistently, average goalies, how does this all happen? Mismanagement of a roster & holding onto the past, hextall is terrible, they ran him out of philly, bottom 6 forwards, 1600+ mins played, 48 goals for, 79 against, incredible numbers, should probably trade for or sign older & slower players again at the deadline, or maybe bring back bust draft picks so they can resurrect their carrier, good teams remain relevant…….but we will move forward & nothing will change & the final years of crosby will be waisted
A microcosm of the entire season. Lack of 60min team effort. No intimidation factors. Zero urgency, zero-impact acquisitions, irresponsible puck handling, and a bowl of pudding has more grit than this team. Did I miss anything? I'm glad that this bunch won't have the opportunity to be humiliated in the 1st round. Here's to next year!
I will cherish this 16 year playoff streak for the rest of my life. Thank you guys for 16 incredible years in a row with 3 cups. I am proud to be born in Pennsylvania and be apart of Penguins nation. See y'all next season! 🖤💛
Pens needed to blow just one more 3rd period lead before their season ended and finish with a ridiculously bad OT performance. Thank God this season is over. Not sure I could stand to watch any more brain farts on ice.
Steelers first, then I'll be ready for next season.
We need to keep Jake, Zucker, Racks, Archibald, Poehling, DeSmith, and our usual big 3. Everyone else can go.
Getting to fancy with the shots. Get the puck in the damn net.
