Sid hasn't led us to the playoffs each of the last two seasons NOR has he led us to playoff success in each of the past SIX seasons. For all the good he does and playing every game he seems to fall short quite a lot.
I just don't get how FSG isn't furious about missing two years in a row of playoff revenue. Most cutthroat billionaires would be, but these assholes seem fine with Sullivan despite all of that.I can't decide whether I think this organization is too stupid and arrogant for its own good, or they simply don't care anymore and are waiting for Sid to retire.
I'm not sure which is worse.
They simply don't give a f***, I guess. They have enough accountants and financial advisors to know full well they were in for some bleak shit revenue-wise when they bought a team on the cusp of like a decade of no playoffs.
I agree. But you seem to blame everything on Sid these days. You weirdly defend Dubas and were one of the last posters to realize Hextall was trash. Pixie is now the last of the Hextall fans.
You'd think they'd be all the more desperate to not waste the last few years of being semi-competitive the team has, knowing that the tank is on the way.
Again, I think it's simply a case of FSG being convinced Sullivan's a god because he's good in interviews and billionaires have shit for brains. And they just don't give a shit.
If they didn't care, those two would have new contacts. They don't. They're not under contract.
Because he won 2 Cups a really long time ago…and Sid, according to some media members, told staff that he didn’t want to play for another coach during his time with the Pens…but maybe he feels differently now…hopefully lol
.
Sullivan wants more of these types of players on his roster this fall. Please leave and take Reiden with you.
That's a very good question. But again, if the team was really that soured on them, I'd imagine they would have been proactively let go at any point during the season (they don't have any extensions in place yet). I'm not so sure we won't see them behind the bench again come September.
One thing I learned in doing some research is that it is exceptionally rare for an assistant coach to be fired mid season unless the head coach is also fired mid season. I couldn't find many examples at all of only an assistant coach being fired midseason. It was always on tandem with the head coach.
We'll see, DP, I guess only time will tell. I know you tend to look at the sunnier side of things, so sincerely I hope you're right and I'm not.
