Fascinating Pens Stats

2011….

Wasn’t that also the year when f***in’ Brooks “Cardboard” Orpik was yammering his gums about the captaincy??

That was the same instance. Just pure stupidity that it was stripping Crosby of the C. They were up 3-1 and wanted to press on, considering they were 1 game from winning the series.

I remember

Since 2005, their highest win total and their best goal differential was in 2012 - when Crosby barely played.

Barely played? Lemme guess. You saw his game log that he only played 36 games that season?

I'll give you a hint. He only played 36 games, but the Pens were 8-4 without him that season...

(oh to be a fly on the wall when you finally solve the riddle)

Yes, both coaches are strikingly similar, but many Pens fans have their heads buried in the sand.

They aren't at all whatsoever, actually. One is good at the job; the other was not.

Small sample size I'm guessing. How often are both out? Likely not for long periods of time. There's just too much variance in the NHL to conclude anything when the data point is only a handful of games in a row

It feels like one or the other (or both) are injured every season.

I was talking about the 2011-2012 season when Crosby played 22 out of 82 games.

Sullivan has been a disaster in the playoffs as of late. Sully and Bylsma both do their best work without star players.

That's a weird and misleading way of putting it then... "their highest win total and their best goal differential"

It was their 5th best year based on points percentage, and they were 75% the very next year, compared to 66% the year you mentioned and tried to portray as the Pens best season. Also they had the exact same number of wins (and 1 more point) just 2 years later.

You should be a politician with your misleading statements.

Yeah no. The roster isn't very good. It's Crosby, Malkin, whatever Letang has left, and then an army of That Guys and Who'd He Used to Play Fors. Yeah, a Guentzel, a Rust, whatever.

Sullivan is one of the main reasons they haven't stopped getting to the playoffs every year. He's a because, not a despite.
