Assume the worst. That way if a miracle happens, it's that much more special.

Maybe if he starts checking guys phones, but even then, he would have to be sending them dick pics or something lol…performance at his job, which is minimal, apparently is not a prerequisite for firing him, as we’ve seen…

This organization loves Sullivan so much that even in that case, they'd be all "well the player shouldn't have opened the pic if he didn't want to see it. Not Sullivan's fault".

Hey why don't we make another where posters can whine about Sullivan

I'm happy to pull a Jusse Smollet and accuse Sully of racism or whatever we can to get him run out of town

Exhibit A, your Honor, his usage of European players.

I rest my case.

You should have included a new contract extension as an option. I'm betting they double down and extend him another 2 years to shut down any of the critics.

I seriously believe he is immortal here. He still has the long and expensive contract going. Guy has like 7 terrible seasons in a row with this core and he is still here in a very firm position. There is no indication that things will change anytime soon. But I am not gonna watch a single Penguins game until he is fired. Never missed the game for 13 years. I have been here supporting the team under Mike Johnston, watching games at 4AM in Europe, never missed the single game. I am done now, enough is enough.

Can he be fired??? Yes.

Will he be fired??? Nope

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Genuinely concerned that he'll be molding the game of the next crop of top-3 picks this team's gonna be stockpiling in a few short years.

I don't have to, you & others do it non stop

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

If he's untouchable then maybe he gets "promoted" into management instead.

We've changed owners, gms, half the team, and the results are the same... actually they're getting worse. There's only one more move to make before we can say it's truly over.

I'm just impressed Clint Eastwood's third worst film almost remembered how a sentence goes.

If we aint firing him just blow this team up. Sullivan is the most overrated person all time in Pens history.

 

[Night Shift]

Don't worry Tip of the Iceburgh Podcast got this story covered.

Dude must have mastered the skill of bullshitting in interviews. Despite his horrid results somehow everyone that comes across him sings his praises. FSG exists to make money but will keep employing a guy that hasnt had an ounce of success in almost 6 years.

It's simply the culture of NHL coaching. He lucked into winning the Cup twice, back to back. Guys like Ruff make a living for like 25 years just getting to the Finals once. Sullivan's got enough leash to go around the globe about 100 times.

If FSG decides he's finally to be fired, I'm sure it'll be like when the team bought out Jack Johnson and it was a begrudging, teary goodbye. And if Sullivan wants, he'll have another job within a week.

Sullivan " in alot of these losses I thought at times we were the better team"

He has said this before AND that can be said about every game ever played by both teams . No team is the better team for all 60 minutes.

 

[Andy99]

I just think it’s funny that Sam Lafferty has 2 goals and that’s 2 goals more than any player on L4 has here…also Ian Cole and Mark Friedman are the Canucks second pair defenders…and the Canucks are beating the Preds tonight and will have a 6-2-1 record while the Pens are the opposite…tells you that fitting players into the right roles with proper ice times and line mates, and in the proper fit system wise, is way more important than people think…at least when talking about non elite players…and Sullivan doesn’t know this lol

Giving up on Friedman was a weird thing, but doing it to the benefit of Ruhwedel boggles the mind.

When you think of who the coach is, not really.
