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

Rust was a contract I wasn't a fan of tbh...

and 12 games have proven you right?

The cracks started in that second cup run.

They were literally ****ing garbage all year last year.

They continued that bull**** this year.

I could give a **** less about 2016.

That's two years ago. They ****ing suck TODAY. And likely will tomorrow. How do back to back cups matter??

It's tough to move on from players who give you cups. Horny, god bless him he has tried more than anyone else tonight. But I saw several occasions where he was near the puck and the Devil simply turned and skated away from him.

IF Horny was surrounded by youth and speed, we could live with his style. But this team plays at the pace of Horny,..recipe for fail.

Malkin looks old and slow. losing every battle

Rust was a contract I wasn't a fan of tbh...

Rust, JJ, Hornqvist for starters.

 

[K Fleur]

I had some trepidation about JJ but damn he's a disaster.

A decade long disaster.

Also Rust scored some big goals for this team, but that dude f***ing sucks this year.

 

[Ryder71]

This team is reminding me of Mike Johnston era Pens, which was atrocious.

It seems somewhat like a players revolt. I don't think theres any question that Sully's antics have soured with many players.

 

[chethejet]

Go to 20 games and see what is what. No question the Pens are not smart or making teams uncomfortable the last two games. But they played well in Canada and maybe they lost some mojo coming home. Devils were due after losing 3 so two bad crappy games is not a panic situation.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I just can't imagine how anyone looks at what's happening and thinks "yep, we should have let Hornqvist leave for nothing." It's mind boggling.

Michigan 42
Penn State 7

Does that answer your question?

this is dumb. is everyone here already done talking about the Pens that this shit keeps becoming the focus?

 

[KIRK]

This team is reminding me of Mike Johnston era Pens, which was atrocious.

You didn't have Sid and Geno simultaneously tuning him out.

Sid was done with him, but Geno saved his job for a while.

This reminds me of the end of Therrien.

 

[pensfan71]

and 12 games have proven you right?

No idea yet man but 2 points don't inspire confidence. I like the guy but that's expensive for 2 points ahah

 

[Coastal Kev]

and 12 games have proven you right?

Well they haven't proven him wrong.

 

[vodeni]

Malkin looks old and slow. losing every battle

oh please

 

[KIRK]

Malkin looks old and slow. losing every battle

Let's trade him to a team where he'll look alive again.

 

[Ogrezilla]

No idea yet man but 2 points don't inspire confidence. I like the guy but that's expensive for 2 points ahah

he certainly needs to be better.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Well they haven't proven him wrong.

it's 12 games, they didn't prove anything. That's my point.

 

[KIRK]

Right there. Geno comes out of the box. 3 guys on him. Zero puck support.

He's losing every battlez.

 

[Gumbercules]

Well, at least Sid shot there. That's a positive surprise.

 

[pensfan71]

I don't want a new coach, but if I had to have one, I would 100% take Vigneault.
Since 2006-07 (when he started coaching again after a long layoff):

• His teams won their division 7 out of 12 years.
• 3 President's trophies, 2 SCF's and a 3rd round exit.
• Made the playoffs 10/12 years. Of those 10, his teams only got ousted in round 1 three times.

A Vigneault coached team can defend.

Since your research is clearly on point, what're your thoughts on assistant coaches we can poach

 

[Clatartar]

The thing that irks me is the simple fact that we have the tools to do well, the usual culprits are just running the show once again. Sullivan is no longer the alpha in the dressing room.

 

[turd]

I just can't imagine how anyone looks at what's happening and thinks "yep, we should have let Hornqvist leave for nothing." It's mind boggling.

Showing a pulse doesn’t really mean your worth $5.5M a year for 5 years...

 

[dustybreaks]

I’d be seriously surprised if Sullivan has a job with Pittsburgh by January tbh.

 

[pensfan71]

it's 12 games, they didn't prove anything. That's my point.

I never said that anything was proven. I just said I wasn't a fan of the contract

 

[Rossi Rat]

this is dumb. is everyone here already done talking about the Pens that this **** keeps becoming the focus?

I’ll take it for all the **** I’ve talked.

But bleh, the Pens have just been so awful I don’t blame people for not wanting to talk about this.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Showing a pulse doesn’t really mean your worth $5.5M a year for 5 years...

no, but watching what he's done for this team every year does.

 

[Coastal Kev]

it's 12 games, they didn't prove anything. That's my point.

I understand your point. But stating it's too early is missing his point. He didn't like the contract at the time it was given. The fact that it's only 12 games so far is irrelevant.
