GDT: #13| Devils vs. Pens|Mon, Nov. 5th (7:00PM) PPG |NHL is the Devil!!!

[canadianguy77]

Realisistically, there's a pretty good chance that they won't win another game until the Sens. That would be an 8 game losing streak. I wonder if that would be enough for Sullivan to be gone?

 

[canadianguy77]

Folks, how good are the Devils even?

They skated circles around us last season too.

 

[treeni12]

This team is better suited it the west now. Speedy eastern teams eat them alive

 

[Bingo71]

Mears says you knew the Devils were going to be inspired after their losing streak and were going to play hard...

So why the f*** can’t the Pens be inspired???

 

[KIRK]

Oh i think he's doing a horrible job this year. Horrible. You cannot send a message by picking and choosing who adheres to the culture. The culture >>>>> the players. So IMO he's been horrendous this year. My #1 negative.

This.

The bench management.

X's and O's.

Sid AND Geno simultaneously tuned out.

It's been the recipe for the last 3 coaches being fired.

This Sid and Geno thing really bears watching. If they can't get up for the Caps, then it could get really ugly, really fast.

So, everyone is done with Sullivan now?

sully is not going anywhere, and by the way, sprong sucks, he cannot get the shot off,

He's going to bag skate Sprong after the game until he keels over and dies, isn't he?

Nope.

 

[Gurglesons]

How many times do I have to watch Sprong shoot a shot into someone?

 

[KIRK]

oh gosh that would be disaster

I didn't say it wouldn't be.

EDIT: SO . . . now HGH is together. Maybe some baby steps . . . I hope.

 

[USMC607]

So glad i was out drinking with family that came to Florida today.

I came in thinking it would at least be respectable. I was way off.

 

[ColePens]

BTW, one #1, I don't think the system changes until Sully goes. BUT, if JR sees the solution similarly, then I suspect Jacques Martin may get first crack.

And we make it out to be an easy job, but the #1 toughest job in the world was adapting to change when you were the change of the entire game of hockey. No joke - you could probably make 2-3 NHL teams with the ham/eggers that were let go in order to get young fast players into lineups. In 2 years, everything changed, and we were the reason why. So the gap was DEFINITELY going to close in the speed game. No doubt about it. So the next step was to think ahead of the curve. I think the best solution to beating these speed teams is to take the Caps route from last year. Close it up and transition with speed as opposed to trying to be just as fast. It's a GREAT concept. One the Pens should have taken first.

So f***ing easy for me to say as I sit on my couch. Impossible for a coach to do after winning 2 Cups. But he's quickly losing this team.

But he got his shot off, right??!? Lol

 

[SomeDude]

Team wins 2 out of the last 3 Cups and this board wants to blow everything up in early November.

 

[Rossi Rat]

.500

So are the Pens :/

 

[AuroraBorealis]

So, everyone is done with Sullivan now?

I would start with new assistants. See if that makes any difference. I've never liked Recchi in this role.

 

[Andy99]

Folks, how good are the Devils even?

Well they had a three game losing streak as well coming into tonight and were mired at .500 but they’re genius compared to the Pens...

 

[Bingo71]

Nobody said to blow everything up but they aren’t even competing in these game, not even close.

Pathetic.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

So, everyone is done with Sullivan now?

No.

I think it's absurd to even be talking about it at this point, tbh. And this is coming from a guy who has a LOT of issues with how he's handled the roster since last season.

 

[ronduguayshair]

So, everyone is done with Sullivan now?

The keyboard experts have spoken.

 

[Coastal Kev]

I guess, but some of those teams are very physical and not sure this team could withstand that punishment.

 

[Ryder71]

I expected a much better effort tonight, I could not be more wrong, holy shit!

 

[KIRK]

sully is not going anywhere, and by the way, sprong sucks, he cannot get the shot off,

Most likely not.

BUT . . . truth be told, HGH saved his bacon after a schizo first half to the year LAST YEAR.

And, the way Sid and Geno have been tuned out for the last bit . . . you don't see both of them this bad simultaneously often.

IF they tune him out, I think it will be over quicker than one would anticipate.

Over-under on how quick we'd fold?
