GDT: PIT vs CBJ Sat Mar 30 @7pm edt

[MeinerEiner]

Pens gave up 17!!! odd man rushes in 70mins of hockey against CBJ! Talking about a well coached team

It's frankly kind of embarrassing and a bit of a smudge on Sid's whole "fierce competitor" reputation that he's not flipped his shit, at least privately, about this team's trajectory or coaching for the past six years.

 

[The Old Master]

Just to second this…it’s not that letting is dumb and we know that, but everything after that making it so easy on the opponent, just terribly coached team

you need to ease up on the coach, your not seeing the whole picture. when i figure out what that is i'll tell you.

There is not anything embarrassing about that. He is who he is. 100% all these years. It’s not his f***ing job to manage the club

 

[Andy99]

I’m missing this period but I’m not at all surprised the PP gave up another SH lol

 

[Jacob]

Anyone know that song they just played in the rink? 90s electronic song I think. Was in a film but I don’t know what. Fight Club or the Matrix.. Not them but something like that.

People will find a way to complain about him no matter what. If he complains he’s a locker room problem/ coach killer and if takes the diplomatic approach, he’s not competitive enough.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Nylander looks so much more aggressive…".fire sully

It's his f***ing job to win games though, and he knows better than anybody how hard that's been with this coach at the helm.

People to this day adore the story about Geno telling Therrien to go f*** himself and threatening to go back to Russia. I don't really care what other fans/media think about Sid tbh.

 

[vodeni]

I see why Coach benches Ludvig, but once he figures out these too risky forward plays, he’ll be a very goods dman in NHL for a long time

 

[canadianguy77]

lol wtf was that Rust?

 

[Andy99]

We’re going to go 0-9 on the road this stretch after losing to CBJ tonight…anyone losing to CBJ doesn’t deserve a PO spot, not that we were gonna get one lol

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Flyers, caps, and isles all losing. Of course pens decide to lay an egg.

 

[Al Smith]

lol wtf was that Rust?

Aiming for the cannon apparently.

Yep, that’s why it doesn’t make any sense to go for a push now…just start losing games and get a top ten pick

 

[vodeni]

Leta g completely stop doing one thing that he excelled at, skating out of our zone

 

[Andy99]

 

[MeinerEiner]

Nice move by Marchenko

 

[SEALBound]

DOC is right on the cusp of being a good player. Using video ratings, if you needed an 90 to be a good top 6 players, he's an 88 or 89. He just needs a pinch more on everything to better.

Leta g completely stop doing one thing that he excelled at, skating out of our zone

They finally coached it out of him.

Pens running into a hot goaltender again

 

[Andy99]

So we’re making Merzlikins look like a Vezina caliber goalie when he’s under .900 save % on the season…so very Penguin

 

[metalan2]

Letang did this single handedly.

Three breakaways. Zero goals, two shots lol

Your expectations just aren’t realistic. His job is to get points and lead his team. But that only goes so far. It’s not his responsibility to assemble the team or hire/fire the coaches or management.

Maybe you like a guy like McDavid who gets coaches fired just so he can be comfortable? That hasn’t really worked out well for his team either though.

Personally, I think the players should play, the coaches should coach, and the GMs should manage. If you want the guy to be Reggie Dunlop, it’s going to take something away from his game on the ice.

 

[Andy99]

Lol…

 

[SEALBound]

I think I'm gonna get ready for the range day tomorrow. Might watch the rest...might not. We'll see if anything needs cleaning because nearly anything is better than this.
