Well a top 10 and lottery luck. But the big move is firing Sullivan and building new staff and discipline in the system. Dubas know the issues. H has to have the juice to do what is necessary here. FSG can't think people come to see this. It may take 3 years to add the level of talent and the kind of development necessary to get back to great hockey again.

I'm sure Sully had a lot to do with Letang constantly coughing up the puck. He's a wreck and you know it! But I'm sure the coach is telling him to hand it to McDavid. No coach will save this team, their garbage, get use to it!
Letang is just abysmal in puck management. Always was an adventure now he's single handedly giving the game away.

He has a lot to do with playing Kris Letang 26+ minutes in 2024.

Looking at it...
We should beat San Jose and Columbus. Ottawa owns us so hopefully they keep that going next game. The Devils usually own us but are also sucking right now so no idea what to expect from that one.
The rest of the games should be easy losses.
So I'll say 3-7 for our record for the rest of March if the games play out how they "should". Maybe 4-6 if we win a game we shouldn't and take care of business in the other games that we should win.
Hopefully this team tanks harder than that though. Columbus is long overdue to beat us, so hopefully they get mad and actually pull it off.
San Jose has a 10-0 or whatever beating to avenge too. They need to get jacked up for that one and outwork the Pens.

Good. Take away the "Well the players are still playing hard for him!!1" excuse to keep Sullivan.

I wanted Poulin called up but honestly keep him away from this trash. WBS is gonna make the playoffs so let Puusty experience winning as well.

What’s the point of Gruden at 7 minutes. Gotta shorten the bench when we’re down by 3 and the season is over and the vets don’t wanna be out there?

I did and over this weekend I made a nice chuck of change betting the puck line against them. Barely had to sweat it out. We just need to lose out and garner a lottery pick.

Also Rakell played less than Carter and Acciari. Incomprehensible. Pointless.

I’m relieved to see all the “I root for the team, not the names on the back” posts coming back.

At my work I get called a fairweather fan because I don't sit at the edge of my seat going "YOU CAN COME BACK!!!" every single game. Sorry for being a realist I guess.

They've been outscored 27-7 since the end of the 2nd period in Calgary. Hard to believe that was less than 8 full days ago.

So I found the video where Sullivan says "... and if you're tired, don't be tired!". It is from his post-game presser from yesterday and starts at 0:53:
This adds another thing to the list that Sullivan used to be good about, but has completely turned his back on. I remember around the time when we were winning our back to backs, he was quoted as saying something to the effect of:
"I wish we had the medical technology to keep track of players heart rates. If Kris says he is good to go, but we get stats on his internal body health and he is still exhausted, I will send someone else out"

You're a man after my own heart. Sincerely!At my work I get called a fairweather fan because I don't sit at the edge of my seat going "YOU CAN COME BACK!!!" every single game. Sorry for being a realist I guess.
But yes, I love this team! ABSOLUTELY! But what's best for them is to lose and sell off whatever they can for maximum return. At some point we'll be relevant again, we just have to be patient, draft well, develop our players and sign free agents that help move the needle. Lots for Kyle to do.

Might as well be. That Pens locker room can't be a pleasant place right now
