Post-Game Talk: Pens/Avs WTF even was that

[Al Smith]

I can't be the only one here who knew it was coming right? I mean you could just feel it was going to happen, and boom 4-0, then 4-4, the 4-5.

No, the question is who didn't see it coming.

You could see this coming when the Pens were up 4-0. The ice was tilted and the Avs could smell blood. I really doubt that any Pens fan was surprised by the outcome.

 

[the penitent]

- An unbelievably bad power play
- A "system" that routinely blows 3rd period leads
- A string of incredibly inept 3-on-3 overtime performances

And yet Sully is the man who's going to lead this team out of the wilderness? Rest assured, he'll be here at the start of next year, and barring a complete collapse by Jan. 1, through next year at a minimum.

 

[Smasher]

Sid's PPG streak is all that is left.

Look, the issue is Dubas didn't get enough of the right players for Sullivan's system

 

[Gurglesons]

Sid has been on the ice for 0 goals for at 3v3 this season. 5 GA.

That doesn't even tell the whole story. He's probably had at least three bad changes in OT that lead to goals against but which he didn't eat the minus for because he got off the ice.

Dude makes the worst changes in OT all the time.

 

[Will Hunting]

Well, came here to see if Gurglesons is saying something about Sid sucking without Guentzel, or that Guentzel is the better player. Or that Sid sucks even more than Geno without Guentzel. I´m a bit disappointed with the outcome tho.

Not disappointed anymore. Yeah, good point made, well done sir. Fair point to criticize Sid, obviously. And you are absolutely right.

He always tries to deflect when the criticisms of Kris become a little too scathing for his comfort level. Shit makes me laugh.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Will a single reporter ask him about all of the 3 or 4 goal collapses over the last few seasons?

The Pittsburgh reporters are enjoying their free dinners at PPG Paints Arena before the pens game, and they don't want to ask Sully the tough questions.

 

[Al Smith]

is that counting where he is going off for a line change while the other team is 3 v 2? That's happened 2 or 3 times.

 

[Jobeycool]

Pens are so obviously losing on purpose lol... it is laughable. They are getting tired and just saying the heck with this.

 

[Andy99]

Well at least the game was entertaining lol

They need to do a better job then…no need to take this game to OT and get a point lol

It’s maddening that they absolutely refuse to go after him with tough questions or spare any digital ink that calls his coaching into question

Jarry has made me eat crow after defending him for a few months there. Dude is the most arrogant unlikable choke artist ever.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

At least Sid had 4 points and Sullivan is more relaxed.

 

[Andy99]

 

[the penitent]

Time to look ahead after the Pens dominated for an entire 30 minutes of the game and got some bad bounces that led to a tough loss . I see them maxing out at 77 points for the year, but it'll still be a dogfight for that bottom 10 finish.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

After a game like that I don't even think FSG could watch this and think Sully is worthy of returning.

 

[Rudy Russo]

The system does need to change, but we have Mike Sullivan as head coach.

 

[Gurglesons]

I didn’t think we should re-sign Kris Letang.

Well, came here to see if Gurglesons is saying something about Sid sucking without Guentzel, or that Guentzel is the better player. Or that Sid sucks even more than Geno without Guentzel. I´m a bit disappointed with the outcome tho.

Crosby is still a great player. Just like Malkin and Letang are still top six and top four guys.

 

[Darren McCord]

Why is Accari even playing? Dude gets hurt every other game.

Its a joke that this team is missing the playoffs and still wont play the 4th line more than 5min a night.

Call up young guys and see what you have in them

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Watching the Avs push and come back was pretty fun to watch.

Reminds me of when we were the Comeback Kids in ‘09

It seems the same as when Dan Rooney had a hold of the Pittsburgh media for the Steelers. The media again goes the penguins suck but we just talk about the Steelers new QB's, the pirates season starts this week, and Duquesne Men's basketball.
I'm just surprised hockey fans haven't start to chant at home game to fire Sully just like they did for Ron Hextall and Matt Canada.
