[Kristopher Letang]

Lol.

 

[66-30-33]

LOL!!! 5-2 losses in back to back days.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Just pathetic... Two D-men tight on the draw and it goes between them..

 

[ColePens]

How is a coach supposed to tell Dumo to swipe and miss. Letang f*** up and miss.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Lmao Justin Williams again, ****

 

[USMC607]

a. i agree we don’t fire sully right now, but as I pointed out preseason... coaches with his tenure with one team do not win stanley cups... the only exceptions are guys who had a dynasty lasting over the magic 5 year point in their tenures... basically nhl coaches aren’t meant to have long tenures. systems get predictable and players lose focus and tune them out..


Now firing Recchi or whomever has ownership of the PP is a grand idea... someone needs to pay for that mess

Only one I can think of at the moment is Trotz who won in yr 4 of his tenure with the Caps.

MR should have been fired long ago.

Ever since he took over for RT this team has been worse off. He is not a good assit coach.

 

[Empoleon8771]

If this team picks Jarry as the starter going forward, they're never going to win another cup. Absolute flash in the pan.

The problem is I don't know that Murray is any better of a choice.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Who was Letang passing to? Sheesh. Everyone try to enjoy the rest of this day. Screw this game.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Welp.

 

[PensandCaps]

Zucker/Crosby/Sheary
Marleau/Malkin/Horny
Rust/McCann/Tanev
Lafferty/Blueger/ERod

swap Rust with Marluea, then yah.

i might even sit Marleau for Simon tbh. Marleau doesnt do much out there

 

[TNT87]

Fun weekend.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Don't worry, all they need to do is start Jarry more and everything will be fine.

 

[TooManyHumans]

LOL!!! 5-2 losses in back to back days.

At home when we should be playing desperate.

 

[LOGiK]

raise the white flag boys

 

[KIRK]

I just need to know what happened.

From a ridiculously Injured team that played with guts, energy, and no quit attitude.

To a relatively healthy team that plays like they would rather be anywhere else.

My 'theory'. You stacked a Jake-Geno-Rust line. They dictated. They attacked. They disguised the Pens weaknesses. Goaltending and bounces of course also were monster issues, but the vibe that started at the top was this team fought.

Jake hurt. Semi replaced by Zucker. But, with Sid back, you've got two diluted scoring lines. They're on their heels as much as anything, and that trickles from top to bottom.

Why I said earlier the biggest choice facing JR this summer is what he wants the Pens to be.

- A team with weaknesses built around setting Sid and Geno up to attack.
- More diluted mediocrity, ignorant of Sid's and Geno's age and how the league has changed.
- Start anew without Geno.

Until JR is willing to move on from option 2, this is where we'll be . . . some good, some back, but as the bounces and goaltending balance out over the long haul, not enough.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Whew.
Talk about rock bottom.
Wonder what JR is thinking right now?

 

[Turin]

I already used the embarrassment angle. I guess 5 wasn’t enough yesterday.

 

[dlowry81]

TJ giving up 5 because based on coaching that’s how he thinks you get the starting job.

 

[Shrimper]

Sully should keep them out there and bag skate them. f*** the lot of them

 

[vodeni]

Lmao Justin Williams again, ****

now that was the guy we should tried to get

 

[ChaosAgent]

This really looks like the Flyers 2012 series.

Bylsma should have instantly been fired after that one. Just sayin.

 

[2wayPlay]

Besides Detroit this is currently the worst team in hockey. Impressive really how terrible they are right now

 

[Rossi Rat]

LOL!!! 5-2 losses in back to back days.

...at home. 38 yr old pots 2. Never heard of this goalie in my life.

 

[Jacob]

Both goalies are playing as well as the team in front of them.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Just remember to not feel good about the team when we beat the Devils easily.

 

[BeatenLikeRentedMule]

So the 2020 first JR gave away is protected, right? We might really need that 1st (and a new coach) and I'm dead serious.
