Post-Game Talk: Islanders 4, Penguins 1 - Was It Over When The Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Anya6687]

Last shot by the pens was with 7:02 left in the 3rd trailing 3-1...what a sad pathetic team starting with there captain 87...blow this team up please

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I know it is akin to shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic, but would it kill Sully to keep Simon away from the top 6 and to try the line that was working for Sid down the stretch?

I am tired of their obsession with depth scoring, they need to stack the top 6 and set up 2 checking lines for the bottom 6.

 

[KIRK]

Great effort. Thank God the preseason is over.

And your tennis season is about to begin without interruption . . .

 

[Penguin Suited Up]

It’s great that this team has already cemented its legacy and won 3 Cups under Sid and Geno. Because after the moves that were made in the offseason, it does not look capable of competing for another Cup, and there are not enough assets in the pipeline to make up for the talent shipped out and lack thereof with the contracts that have been brought in.

I would thank these guys for the season but f*** that it's pretty much sucked from start to finish.

 

[Jacob]

So for those that want a coaching change who’s your pick for HC next season? Vigneault? I don’t remember much about his teams from an identity or style perspective.

 

[BoysofWinter66871]

I need 10 minutes to calm down.

You have an elevated pulse from that Nailers exhibition? Masters had me more thrilled and I hate watching golf on TV.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I knew this team wasn't that good, but i never in my wildest dreams thought they would be on the verge of getting swept by the NYI.

I don't know who to blame the most

The stars
The def
The goalie
The coach
The GM

Everybody has been terrible in this series.

 

[KIRK]

I just hope Sully is let go along with Rex.

And Guerin . . .

And then when he's done with all of that, JR fires himself.

 

[Hank Plank]

Hey Sully have you tried coaching "the right way" you sack of shit.

 

[AverageJoeFan]

We need a new everything it seems. From GM down. Just awful...

 

[treeni12]

Sullivan is getting out coached worse than good ole daniel bylsma ever did. Absolutely shocking

 

[ncm7772]

They're getting beat so handedly every single member of that organization should be embarrassed.

 

[deakka]

So f***ing embarrasing geting swept by this Islanders team.

 

[ownal]

Why is JJ in this line up?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

It’s great that this team has already cemented its legacy and won 3 Cups under Sid and Geno.

Right right.

Just the moves.

Our coaching has been elite I guess. But totes. JR is 100% at fault. I mean I see that Islanders team with so so much talent that dwarfs ours and I think, I wish our fantastic coach had someone as amazing as Mayfield, Martin, and Clutterbuck.

 

[Darren McCord]

To many parts that don’t mesh on this team. And no heart right now.

Just jaded attitudes and no cohesion left.

 

[domaug]

- literally everyone from the players to the front office

 

[ChrisKuuuunitz]

I’m glad I listened to most of the games this year instead of watching them

Can we shuffle it with another iceberg? Maybe several.

 

[ncm7772]

It's just sad. So many years on top and now everyone is making fun of us. Hard not to take it personally.

That hate us 'cause they ain't us!! LMAO

As awful as this is, the last 11 years have been pretty fun to be a Pens fan.

 

[bigkam]

Everyone knows the players that should be gone over the summer, but I'm not sure we'll see it happen. Even after we get swept this week.

 

[Hank Plank]

Sullivan is getting out coached worse than good ole daniel bylsma ever did. Absolutely shocking

In fairness to Sully Disco Dan didn't actually coach he just stood there looking confused. Wait that's Sully in this series.

 

[KIRK]

I don't know who to blame the most

The stars
The def

Everybody has been terrible in this series.

I'll blame the stars the least, because of what happened the last time after we faced this question . . .

As I joked before, maybe in the end the difference between Shero/Bylsma and JR/Sully is that Sid and Geno willed them to a 2nd cup before they turned into pumpkins.
