So Sully's solution is... putting Rust with Sid when it never works AND probably inserting Grant for Sprong.
That's ****ing stupid.
Oh and happy birthday to @Ugene Malkin , enjoy your day pal and hopefully the Leafs score less than 6 on us.
woof
Not worried about Tavares ...Maatta-Oleksiak will be defending Austin Matthews.
Well, I guess if there was anything that could keep me from cringing at the thought of JMFJ having to defend John Tavares, THAT might be it.
Sprong is in.
So much for that.
Pens should have this played in lieu of the US national anthem tonight:
It would be something if the coach realized that he could potentially play on line 2 or 3 also.
Probably better that Sprong's not playing tonight. I'd rather not have what's about to happen pinned on him.
Im late to the party.. happy birthday guys!!
And is Sprong really being sat? Quite a lot of disappointment in 5 games so far. Poor effort, poor lines, poor individual efforts, east to west play, just ****ing everything lol.
At least now Sully won't have to fret about whose icetime to cut.
I always said actions >>>>> words. That's how you tell what is going on. Not starting Riikola at the beginning of the season was a perfect example that Sully is falling into what 90% of coaches do and that is fall in love with the past. ****... Scotty Bowman directly told him to make sure he doesn't do it. That's how big of a trap to ALL coaches it is.
I believe Scotty's words of wisdom to Sully were "It's a new season. What worked last year doesn't matter." So sitting a guy who was on fire in preseason for a guy who literally was a dump truck of poop is a clear example of this taking place. And now he's panicking again and taking out the risky player to put in safer players.
Unlike everyone else who will panic, i'm keeping these in my back pocket as little red flags. If they stay consistent, I'll guarantee you i'll put together a pretty lengthy argument against Sully. A worthless internet argument that may get me a few likes and 0 credit for anything else.
I left my phone upstairs... i'm just going to sit back and enjoy this game. Until we are down 2-3 goals and then i'll come online and whine like a little baby.
My biggest gripe with Sullivan is that he seems to be too hesitant to try unique ideas, him defaulting back to the same lines that weren't producing 2 games ago is a great example of that. I don't see Sullivan being the kind of coach that makes a bold lineup decision, or the coach that has the patience to see if a lineup decision will end up working.

Hesitant or unimaginative?
Sheahan is on LW dude. Wait until you see it.
