Post-Game Talk: Oil win. Pens don't care.

Nah. Top 4-6 we could get a very good player.

agreed. Never pass up a lottery pick regardless of the perceived strength/weakness of a particular draft year.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yea, Crosby is the by far the better of the two and it's not close to being close.

Letang has been bad defensively all year and his offensive game has regressed too. He's an actually bad defensive player who puts up .5 ppg.

Try your math again.

Letang is 7th in 5v5 points amongst defensemen in the league. 21st overall.

Better to wait until the offseason at this point. Gives us more candidates.

Eh, you can just "interim" Reirden to guide this shitshow the rest of the season. He probably yields similar results to keeping Sullivan. Then you replace Reirden in the off-season with an actual good coach.

Just get rid of Sullivan ASAP.

I dunno. I want to see us bottom out this year.

Sullivan does that best and tbh if he guides this team to a bottom 5 finish I think they may actually fire him.

I mean, the discussion is firing him NOW or firing him in the off-season. Either hypothetical scenario sees him fired.

So I don't know why you need him to stick around and bottom out to achieve something that, in this hypothetical situation, would happen now anyways.

Where is our #1 Mike Sullivan defender right now? This is his chance to show true loyalty.

I wonder how empty the arena will look until the end of the season.

There's the Jagr bobblehead on Thursday, at least!

 

[Ryder71]

Letang should be a healthy scratch, as much as that bum turns over the puck, you wonder as if he 's trying to reach a quota.

Possibly the only game they'll win the rest of the year.

Still not sure they manage to get into the bottom 5 but maybe the brutal schedule helps them there.

Wouldn't be surprised if where they are now is as low as they slip though given the team right behind them is already 6 points back of the Pens.

He is helping the tank come along nicely.

And how many turnovers does that bum have? Nice pass to McDavid there wasn't it? He's as much to blame as anyone for this teams demise. His lack of vision and piss poor puck management is unrivaled.

If you legitimately can't see how awful he is then clearly you're not being honest with us or yourself. He's the epitome of inept.

''Wull like he's good 5 on 5 scoring'',

Cool, but how much is that worth when he continues to help the opposition beat us night in and night out.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

One win in the last seven.
Shut out three times.
Eight goals for.
Thirty-two against.

That's fine by me, but honestly and I'm no Sullivan fan, but sometimes the players need to be held accountable. LETANG being chief among them. Although a quality coach would know better than to play that bum. You have to have rocks in your head to so cavalierly handle the puck like that. And in todays instance he lost it to McDavid. lol

Crosby likely won't be a PPG player. He's dropping off big time. Geno last year was slightly over PPG player. So he did that at the same point Sid is now.

 

[JRS91]

If Mike Sullivan is the head coach of this team in October, I've lost all faith in Dubas.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

There is are literally zero negatives in firing Sullivan and Reirden right now. Zero.

Except Doobler burning through and firing his first coach, which would mean Doobler is one step closer to getting fired himself.

That and FSG’s money.

But I do hope against hope that they fire the entire coaching staff.

 

[Terrapin]

Typical Pens game. Get the hell beat out of them all over the ice. Sid dealing w/ garbage and trying to stick up for himself. Sullivan telling everyone to just 'get to your game".

I really pray Sid, Geno, and Letang get traded or retire. Imagine how it feels. Every other star in the league has at least one guy to lay the body. Yet for years this garbage organization/coach refuses.

If only there was a way to find a person's recent posts...

GDT: - Pens v Oil. no one cares. still.

It's honestly incredible that Dubas is going to watch this season unfold like this and then keep Mike Sullivan next year. I hate to peddle conspiracy theories but at this point you have to wonder if Sid and/or FSG just don't want Sully fired. There's no other reason to keep him. Dubas is many...

At least we play Sens next. Wait, that means we get shutout again...didnt we last time when we played the Sens by their shitty goalie? Expecting a loss in Ottawa, they need to catch up to us in the standings

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

You could play him 18 mins a game the guys a moron. He's always had challenges managing the puck no matter how little or much he plays. Give me a freakin break. And genius Hextall signed him for another FOUR years beyond this one, BRILLIANT.

 

[Pens x]

If Mike Sullivan is the head coach of this team in October, I've lost all faith in Dubas.

You still have faith in Dubas?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

The way Letang has fallen off I doubt seriously he has positive value. At his age and term we probably couldn't give him away unless the cap goes way up. Thanks Hextall!

He should never have been resigned quite frankly.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

After dying alive once, I could see why he’d wanna stay far far away from this mess.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

I could see big guns start to go on LTIR.

Geno is certainly playing like he'd like a few weeks off. Tang probably needs some time off as well, to remember what color his team is wearing each night.

From what I’m seeing in the wins columns, no way they get in top 5…even if they lose all their remaining games, #6 is probably the highest (or lowest) lol they can get
