For Sully to even get on the hot seat we would have to go on a huge losing streak starting now
There are just so many other factors to what's going on right now that it is extraordinarily doubtful that Sullivan is remotely close to being on the hot seat.
1. Injuries in preseason
2. COVID has wrecked the lineup
3. Sullivan himself has been absent because of COVID
4. We've heard from Burke and Hextall before that they'd like to change the mix, but they haven't because of 1) the cost of acquiring those players and 2) The team played well last year until goaltending tanked them in the playoffs
5. This team hasn't quit on Sullivan. It was less than a month ago that we were raving about their compete level. Nothing changed in a month. The Pens just have inconsistent players.
