I legit had to just step away from anything Pens for the last 2 days. My time is far too valuable if the team wants to joke around. And the org doesn't want to fire Sully, so why should I care?

I can feel this because I stepped away from the Steelers for the last 3 seasons.

Angello
Maniscalco

Angello was brought up from the taxi squad not added to it.

Maniscalco
Currie
Larmi
Weber
Angello

Edit: Okay, they changed it real quick at Cap Friendly. The tweet was very misleading.

ERod getting back into the line-up makes all the difference... said nobody ever.

The Vindys song sounded good. So there’s that.

Can’t wait to see how we are disappointed today Boys!

Let’s do it.

Well f*** it.. poured a nice glass of red wine (Pittsburgh Winery - Malbec). My pops just got his 2nd shot for vaccine. My mother goes in Wednesday. Even when the Pens f*** up, I'll celebrate life and hope for another day.

You know it’s bad news when the man whose whole life quest is remaining positive has become @Jaded-Fan

Oh. Just saw your second post. Guess I spoke too soon. Or your using alcohol to mimic a former you like most posters in here.

After listening to Jesse and Mike go over the standings, this game could be it.

Thems the maths...

This is legit how I feel. I tune into games like "Please.. feel free to frustrate me. Why not?"

The Pens PR department moved on from Fall Out Boy and Imagine Dragons...

Lafferty and Jankowski are scratch-worthy at the AHL level. E-Rod's a 4th line nobody. We have two 4th line wingers playing on our 3rd line. The bottom-6 ain't great, but the good (or bad) news is that it doesn't really matter as long as our top-6 does their job. We're not winning or losing based on the performance of anyone outside of those top two lines.

Hope Jake and Rust are up to the task. Pretty much the entire season thus far has relied entirely on how good that combo has been on any given night.

Pretty much.

I’ve been saying for awhile Sullivan needs to be fired immediately otherwise we will dig ourselves too far a hole. Gotta think if they lose today he’s gone after the Rags game.

Ok, I’ll attempt the reverse jinx...

Where is Giroux? Had anyone seen him???

I'm afraid you'll need something a little stronger...

Glad to hear things are looking good on parent front. Enjoy...

 

[End of Line]

Could the team at least switch to Battery by Metallica

 

[BHD]

Pretty much.

They would have to go .700, maybe .800 to solidify an X.

Bibs says that you need to get to the blue paint and you can’t play on the perimeter....

Errey for coach!!!

might be, and it has to be regulation win...no three point game

Harvester of Sorrow would be more appropriate these days...

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Sully should slot Alice in ZAR’s spot

This was an excellent post, I just wanted to highlight this last bit especially.

We talk a lot about players needing to rediscover what made their games good, but not enough about coaches, I think. A coach can fail in more ways than just losing the room, and for whatever reason, there's a lot of resistance to people discussing that (not just here, but in any sort of sports forum). Coaches can get into ruts, they can become inflexible, they can lose vision and get complacent just as much as any player. For as much as we bag on the stars for mailing it in, we should be willing and able to point out where coaches are doing it too.

One could argue that the same applies to general managers.
