Elliott Friedman just talked about the firing on Sportsnet. Good underlying numbers, but poor goaltending. I'm sure Julien could have done something about the latter.

I wonder if Pens stars could buy in for a few years of Juliens system. Pens scored what? 2 goals in 4 games vs Bruins in a Bruins sweep with Julien.

They played for MT - highlighted by an appearance in the SCF - until they said, "f*** it." That was over four seasons. However, it was apparent they were done with him at some point in the fall of '08. Plus, he didn't have all of the stars when he first took over ('05). So, that's two seasons (06-08) of Crosby and Malkin being miserable while playing his rigid system. Surely, they could handle a year or two of Julien, right?

At least a few years before we go "ok time to build back up" and blow kisses to everyone.

So the players basically forced him out.

Must be nice to have players that are aware of the situation and speak up.


Must be nice...

Also there's no f***ing way this team should fire Sully for Julien.

I'd rather it was GG.

Gallant is a not a good coach tho.

 

[BHD]

And I have to go back on my earlier comment... He could have started Allen over Price more. Now, if that doesn’t make the season seem weird, I don’t know what does.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

One thing Sully is good at is choosing the starting goalie. He barely misses.

Look at Coach Q in Florida. The Panthers have Bobrovsky on his expensive contract, but Driedger is playing the games.

So, that’s the one thing you can pin on him. The rest of the roster, though... that’s on Bergevin. Julien got as much as you’d expect out of that roster. Maybe they have a couple more wins with better goaltending, but the system was in place.

 

[BHD]

They're getting really, really good goaltending.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Crosby Kaprizov with the unbelievable pass

[Tom Hanks]

Wow. Looks like the comeback happened in the last 10 minutes of regulation

 

[Tom Hanks]

Man if Garland/Arizona figure out the PP........

 

[BHD]

Still can't get over the type of player Garland has become.

They’ve definitely got a good core of young forwards to grow with each other: Garland, Keller, Dvorak & Schmaltz

Maybe some recent draftees too

 

[BHD]

It’s too early assess Barrett Hayton. Those forwards, though, are good. The problem is that Chyka went all-in on acquiring players who are good, but non of which are franchise/cornerstone level.

 

[66-30-33]

That was quite the hill to climb.

what? Gallant would be probably the best choice we could make if we replaced Sullivan. and there is almost zero chance Sullivan is getting fired seeing as how the team is playing measurably better as they get healthier and Jarry is looking better and better.
