[Hockeygod66]

Haha perfect f*** you recchi they don’t care. Fire the coach is about all you have left JR

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

this is soo laughably bad. the season's over. another year of sid and geno flushed down the toilet.

 

[canadianguy77]

Dont bother pulling the goalie. This is embarrassing enough.

 

[TooManyHumans]

I look forward to seeing nothing change before the next game.

 

[66-30-33]

At home when we should be playing desperate.

MT had it right when he said we should take 50% of their salary away because they play 50% of the time.

 

[Andy99]

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.

they need to go after someone like Lehner in the offseason...

 

[LOGiK]

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

Where he should submit his resume?

 

[Clare2904]

Old fart Sunday. They have two goal Williams, we have Marleau and @KIRK

 

[SirBrad]

Wow they really just quit.

 

[metalan2]

This is so sad. I feel so bad for Jarry.

 

[Jacob]

So Geekie’s absolutely owned Malkin on both of his goals. Can’t have that.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I hope we lose 10-2

 

[Steve Durbano]

Honestly, Carolina couldn't have had more lucky bounces.

 

[KIRK]

This is all true. But leading up to that game they weren't this bad.

No. But, what's happened is the goaltending came back to earth a little and the bounces started evening out. The warning signs were there, but the wheels finally came off when those things went against them.

 

[pensfansince88]

f*** this team

 

[Andy99]

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

we won’t...no worries there..they’re playing a lot better than us

 

[Turin]

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.

When Guentzel was playing the Pens were top in the NHL in xG and by almost every defensive stats. I think it runs deeper than that one line. The bottom six has just evaporated.

 

[USMC607]

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

He should already be in the locker room with Recchis pink slip.

And just a picture of a chair on fire to hand to Sullivan.

Edit::: I wouldnt even object to having Jacques Martin Pink slipped too.

 

[LOGiK]

OH MAN

 

[Terrapin]

Absolute softest most pathetic team I've seen in years. Sullivan and Recchi need to be fired before they even get to the locker room

 

[dlowry81]

Has an NHL coach ever pulled a Herb and made them skate after?

 

[Empoleon8771]

This is so sad. I feel so bad for Jarry.

Nah Jarry's playing like shit too. They're in this position because Jarry gave up multiple bad goals.

 

[Shrimper]

Schultz day dreaming

 

[SouthGeorge]

I'd bench Schultz next game. I'm not even joking.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

keep play JJ-JS. they're really good.

 

[KIRK]

I hope we lose 10-2

After last period, I said Sully should mix up everything up front and on the blueline. Nobody plays with anyone familiar.

Instead, he changed nothing.

The Pens players are getting what they deserve.

BUT, Sully is too.
