3 points for the rookie

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I feel bad for the people who paid to watch this BS

 

[Pancakes]

I hope this is as bad as it gets because I struggle to imagine it any being any worse

 

[MrRuckus]

Don't worry they'll still pump out more videos of naming movies and songs

 

[Slaaapshuter]

Jultz, ladies and gentlemen

 

[TooManyHumans]

Seriously, fire Sullivan. Not because this is all his fault but there is nothing else that can be done that has any chance of shocking this team out of the way they are playing right now. It is beyond obvious that Sullivan has no idea how to fix this and isn't even going to really try to find an idea. At best he will just shuffle around a few bottom line guys, but unless someone is injured I doubt he even changes the lineup.

 

[Clare2904]

Shut up Errey, show me a player today or yesterday with heart!

 

[Terrapin]

I was supposed to go to this game. So glad I backed out

 

[SirBrad]

Schultz has been brutal once he got the extension. A huge waste.

 

[GregR]

Sully ain't surviving this. Not sure how culpable he is but you can't just let it circle the drain.

 

[madinsomniac]

I will throw this out again... make a statement... throw a low round pick out for a UFA that didn’t get traded at the deadline but can help right now... he won’t be playoff eligible, but neither will we if this keeps up

 

[ChaosAgent]

It would be batshit to fire Sullivan right now.

But I dunno, maybe batshit is all we have at the moment.

Sorry Sully, I like you as a coach.

 

[LOGiK]

Rust -4

 

[KIRK]

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.

No, that absolutely is another factor.

BUT, the shorthanded Pens attacked, and I think Jake-Geno-Rust set the tone for that.

Look at L1 and L2 now. Those lines are diluted. They're hanging on for dear life much more than they attack.

It sets a tone. Frankly, it's the Pens new 'identity'.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Weak effort by Schultz. No defender is willing to engage a forward near the paint. It is revolting.

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

Geekie

 

[ownal]

We need a major shake up. Coaching first. Get a fresh set of eyes to look at everything.

 

[HotCoffey]

The thing that bothers me is that no other NHL team would take a drubbing like this laying down. There'd be SOME pushback SOMEWHERE. But here there's...nothing.

 

[KIRK]

I hope this is as bad as it gets because I struggle to imagine it any being any worse

You sure? We play the Devils on Tuesday.

 

[TNT87]

PP lets them down again. Among other things. The unit is really good giving the other team momentum by sucking on it.

Can we go back a couple of months when it was fun watching this team?

 

[Extra Texture]

Sleepwalking into 9th place if they’re gonna win 20% of their games and quit whenever the other team plays aggressively.

Yeah, exactly. At this point I dont really care anymore. If they can't play with any fire, unless they have half a dozen injuries in the lineup, then forget about it.

The Canes are doing the same thing we did for 4 months: band together and scratch and claw their way though games.

Some of this is on JR. We clearly needed new blood on the blueline more than up front. But these players have just become apathetic. If that's the case, I'd rather not even bother with the playoffs.

 

[KIRK]

6-2, and nothing changes for the PP. Nobody rewarded. Nothing.

 

[TooManyHumans]

It would be batshit to fire Sullivan right now.

But I dunno, maybe batshit is all we have at the moment.

Sorry Sully, I like you as a coach.

I mean, what else has any chance of changing the way this team is playing right now? Sullivan clearly has no answers.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Time to bring back the Blandisis of the world and get rid of the Bjugs. Bring back the ones that care about playing in the NHL. It motivates everyone to go and get it

 

[Pens x]

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

Mario should make JR and the coaches skate with the team.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

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

Lolz and you have the nerve to ever accuse someone of having an agenda. Good stuff
