 Right GM Leafers finally back with the Pittsburgh Penguins it's been a while since you know I've updated you guys so let's quickly go through everything last episode we traded away I'm getting milking it was time to get rid of them we are trying to win a cup with Crosby now so we got rid of Geno and we got a starting goaltender finally in Carter Hurt so I'm very excited to have him there we have Forzberg backing him up And then looking at our offense Gensel Crosby Raquel Captain in Grand Lynn Zucker 10 of Stasny McCann and then Del Cole Stahl and Tierney and then on D We got Ekholm and LaTang, Pedersen, Hammonek, Joseph and Marino so the Penguins are looking very good We are going to simulate Oh, we are starting the playoffs it's been not long so we are starting the playoffs with this team Got rid of Geno Malkin and we are playing the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the playoffs So injuries are on already and everything so it's time to view the lines of the Carolina Hurricanes See what we are coming up against in the first round of the playoffs So their first line being Tevu Teravine and Sebastia Nacho and Svetchnikov, okay? Pretty good first line. I think we match up pretty good their second line being Timoshov, Neckas and Jesper Fast So I think we take their second line third line being Fogel, Ponalmerov Jordan Stahl and then Hi-Rose Coleman and Andrew Kopp so I think we take their their their top Six I think we take their forwards in general to be honest on defense They got Slavin and Hamilton, Pesci and Fleury and then Brady Shea and Jake Garner in net They have Thatcher Demko and Cal Patterson so or Peterson so they have a pretty good tandem in net So I think I like our chances against this team. We have almost a vantage for a reason But our records were pretty close, but without further ado, we're heading into game one with the lines of where they are I think we should easily take the Carolina Hurricanes, but you just you never know you really don't so here We go game one at home against the Carolina Hurricanes how will it go for the Pittsburgh Penguins first period and Okay, not a good start. Aho and Neckos gets the first two goals of the series I hope I'm saying his name right. I don't think I am but anyways We need a better second period here second period We get one back Michael Del Col the fourth liner getting one past Thatcher Demko heading into the third We need someone to tie it up here We did not have a good start and I'm a little worried about this Pittsburgh Penguins team We don't want to fall into a hole early Especially when we think we should be able to win and Sydney Crosby gets us a power play goal And then Jake Gensel gets us another power play goal literally a minute later 3-2 lead for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Hayden Flurry ties it up with 4 to go into the third. We are heading to overtime. What a game We should have won this game. We have to close it games down like this defensively, but Without further ado game one is heading into overtime. Who will be the hero for either side? Hopefully the Pittsburgh that Pittsburgh Penguins will come out on top against the Carolina Hurricanes, but who knows? I'm not too sure what to think of this team to be to be fair I'm not really too happy with the game one start and we do end up winning it Joseph Gets us the game winning goal. I think he's on the second pairing maybe the third We take game one four to three looking at the three stars Gensel with a goal and to assist Crosby with a goal and to assist Hayden Flurry with a goal and an assist so pretty good coming over from the Penguins here So Crosby a three points Gensel three Del Cole So pretty good stuff here not the greatest from Kaepernan and Zucker, but all good And then looking at Carter hard a 921 pretty good that will win us a hockey game So we come out on top. I was a little nervous and we might have choked that lead there But we're good and now we have Marcus Pedersen who is now injured. Okay, so we have an injury already So Joseph's gonna go up a line. He was actually on the third pairing and Edmondson's gonna come in and Yeah, that looks good to me All right, so we were able to slot in Edmondson easy good to have that defensive depth that is for sure So we're heading into game two We already have an injured player, but we have the depth where we're feeling pretty comfortable So the game winning goal went to Joseph last game He is now on the second pairing due to the injury to Pedersen So game two we're looking to take a two-nothing series lead head into Carolina Let's see what we can do first period and we're starting off bad again We are down to nothing in the first period again Zveshnikov getting both goals something needs to be changed here I'm gonna look into the pairings Maybe to give two goals in the first period back-to-back games is just Unacceptable from a team who's trying to contend for a cup trying to win a cup Second period for one I think this games in the dust Jordan stall hamming it gets one back for us and that's Feshnikov gets a hat trick So third period unless I mean I see some crazy things I'm a Leafs fan I've seen forward one leads disappear like it's nothing, but I think Carolina will be taking this game No problem. Ricardo Kell. Hey, if you guys want to shut me up Shut the GM up or Ricardo Kell cutting the lead into two with five to go here. Can anyone else make it a closer game? potentially And Andrew Cobb scores an empty netter, so we lose game two five to two I don't know if it was due to Having Pedersen injured but back-to-back game is giving up two goals in the first period You're just digging yourself an early hole not good stuff from this Pittsburgh Penguins team And maybe we just got to change something. I don't know what necessarily it needs to be changed I'm gonna try putting Joseph back on that third pairing with Marino and see if Edmondson will slot in with Hammondick Okay, actually, you know what? Let's do this Edmondson LaTang at home hammondick Marino Joseph. Let's see how that works out Offensively, I mean we're getting goals to goals last game ain't the greatest if we really wanted to we can switch captain We're Ricardo Kell, but we'll keep it the way it is for now. I'm not really worried about our offense I'm more worried about our defense here. So game three Series is tied one apiece. We're heading to Carolina first period one nothing so a much better first period That's what I like to see Mikael Grandlin getting us on the board We don't give up a goal in the first period for the first time We don't give up two goals for the in the first period for the first time. So that's nice Second period make a three-to-one. I'll hold ties a game up But then Paul Stasny the Trey Dillon acquisition gets one to give us a lead again and then Crosby extends our lead to two So on to the third period here Let's close out this game and Dougie Hamilton gets them right back in it The lead is cut into one and he gets one early So the Hurricanes got a lot of time to come back into this game and they come right back into and make it a 3-3 hockey game As we take a penalty there, which just wasn't great and now there's four to go this penguins team And I don't know what it is. We have oh My game Brett Pesci just ending it there with a minute 21 as I was saying I don't know what's going on with this penguins team. I feel like we should be winning the series easily and we're just not So it's time to make some major changes. I think that's what's time I don't know what's happening boys. This team should be way better and it just really isn't Pedersen is back. So that's actually very nice to have him back. Hopefully that can help us out Because since he was gone we have lost every game. So Yeah, let's put Pedersen back in good to see that there and we'll leave him where he's supposed to be Looking on offense. I'm gonna put captain on the first line. I don't know if that's gonna do much I'm gonna put Michael del Cole in the third line. He did Get a goal in the first game. So maybe we can get him going and McKen we're gonna leave there Not much really to be changed the team's got to be better It's just plain and simple and then our starting goal time that we traded for has an 880 this this Postseason it's not good enough to win us a game simple as that. So we need better goal time from Carter We need the team all around him to be better to be honest So we're heading into game four. We're down two to one. We do not want to go home down three to one So let's even up this series here first period It's a 1-1 hockey game table to remind and opens up the scoring but then Travis Hammond it gets it back for us So we're heading into the second getting out shot Not not too heavy, but we're getting out shot and we're tied a one second period make it two to one Jake Gensel getting us a goal to give us a lead. We need that insurance marker to feel safe We're getting a shot 25 to 14. We asked for a better game at a card of heart He's given us a really good game. We need that insurance marker. This is for Carter hurt boys Let's go third period. We need a big one. We started with a power play Sid the kid Sidney Crosby gets us the goal We were up three to one with 13 to go. We need to I cannot stress We need to need to need to close out this game Hopefully the line changes that we made will show us that we can close out with what we have Oh, no, Poe no more of I don't I can't say his name right makes it three to two And we luckily hold on as we get our shot 41 to 24. What a game from Carter heart He has a 39 say performance when we asked him to be better So good on us and the offense was there as well So look at the three stars Carter heart's got to be up there Crosby with three points again. Yeah, Carter heart nine Fifty-one say percentage. That's exactly what we love to see so good from him And yeah, just an all-around better game. The series is now two-two heading back home Which is what we wanted. So good stuff. We definitely want to take the series leave We don't want to go back to Carolina down three two. So we need a big game Five here, right? So we need a big game five here. Let's see what Pittsburgh can do first period Zero-zero hockey game. I think this is the first time in the series that we've went a first period scoreless So we're heading in to the second with a zero zero tie. We're not getting a shot this time around Which is nice second period Okay. All right, Martin. He's been lighting it up against Pittsburgh in this first round We need someone to give us a goal here. We are just not playing good offensively. We're getting a shot once again We need someone to step up the captain Sydney Crosby the new acquisition and Paul Stasny, I need someone to tie it up here. We don't want to go back to Carolina, man down three two We only have two minutes left and it looks like that is game. We lose game five one nothing I don't know what else needs to be done with this Pittsburgh team and now me kill Grandland is out If I'm gonna be honest, I'm pretty frustrated with this team right now. I don't know how we are just not Winning hockey games simple as that. So it's Sam Laffer to your best choice here Let's put in Jan Kelski. He's obviously not a center. So we're gonna need a center to come up here Oh, he can play center. So that's not bad. What we did here is we put out Cole on the second line a zucker on the third Backs against the walls once again. I feel like that's been the story with this team. I don't know if we Take another early exit. I think next year. We blow it up like this is ridiculous We should be winning with this hockey team. It's as simple as that and we just aren't so Game six back against the wall. We're down three to two. We're trying to force the game seven Let's see what we can do first period. All right. Yeah Martin again, just he's going off an aho with two this Pittsburgh Penguins team is just not it guys It just really is in second period six three. I I don't know what's going on Eric stall gets us on the board Martin lighting it up again Tim Ashaf Jordan stall Gensel Paul Stasny. We're down by three. I Don't know. Let's see what happens in the third period. I'm already writing off our season Ridiculous, I'm to say the least just frustrated with this team And I think next year We're gonna have to blow it up. I don't know what much further I could do with this team Carter hurts our future and maybe Crosby's on the move next year. I just don't know This is unreal. Captain makes it a two-goal game, but it doesn't matter We're out in the first round once again And this penguins team and I don't know what to say about him. I don't know what to say about them anymore It's frustrating. It really is I thought I made some good moves picking up Carter Hart picking up Paul Stasny for the depth and It just didn't work out so next year We have some thinking to do and I want your guys's opinion in the comments. Is it time for Crosby to leave Pittsburgh? but That's something we'll decide next video as you can see the Colorado avalanche have won the Stanley Cup good for the avalanche So we're pretty much simming to the draft the draft and all that stuff. We will do next video. No problem But yeah disappointing season to say the least Let's see who has retired here Marlowe Spets anyone from Pittsburgh here No, okay, so that's that's okay with me Yeah, I don't know. It's gonna be an interesting offseason to say the very least guys It's a little annoying like I said, but it is what it is so we'll quickly see who won the trophies all around and And then we'll go from there. So looking at the awards looking at team awards avalanche won the cup The present trophy went to the Panthers Clarence S. Campbell went to the avalanche Prince of Wales went to the Leafs And then looking at the individual awards are Ross going to Steven Stamco's We have the Hart Memorial going to Stamco's the James Norris going to Nick Letty interesting Lady being going to Steven Stamco's. He's cleaning up. He's won three trophies so far called the Memorial going to Lundell Conn Smythe going to Nate Mack Vezna going to Tuka Rask who's in Edmonton right now interesting William and Jennings going to Sergei Bobrowski Bill Masterton going to Ferrero Jack Adams going to that guy the Selkie going to bark off makes sense and that is it Oh, that was not it my bad Stamco's just one another one. I just didn't expect them to Stamco's won the Ted Lindsey and Maurice Richard went to Tyler Sagan. So Pretty good stuff coming from Steven Stamco's. He's still going off looking at the playoff tree It was the abs and the Leafs in the finals and the abs took it in six. So Interesting stuff But guys that is going to be it for this episode of the GMO to next episode Will be going through the offseason and maybe starting the next year sim But I need you guys in the comment sections below Let me know what we're doing with this Pittsburgh Penguins team We should have won a we should have went farther and potentially won a cup and we just did it So let me know what needs to be done I personally think it's time to blow up the team and get rid of Crosby and and start from scratch But you guys let me know in the comment section below that is if for today's video Thank you guys very much for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye
