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

[Will Hunting]

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



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

Avs fans were saying that this is the first time in a long time that MacKinnons line got outplayed and hemmed in a lot by some other line. Sid did it to them almost alone, without Guentzel. It´s not about Guentzel, the more important point is the motivation for Sid. He lost that motivation after Calgary collapse. Obviously he got some motivation for tonight playing against Nate MacKinnon. Crosby is still great and obviously better than Jake too. It´s just the rest of the team letting him down and killing his motivation.

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.

That’s because our home crowd bandwagon is too busy starting at their phones…

Worst part is we got a point. Propably will get 11 or 12 overall and has to give to up

 

[Rudy Russo]

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

A) Sullivan loves him
B) Dubas loves him
C) It just makes too much sense

 

[BrookswasHere44]

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

Have you seen how over weight they are?!? They need those free meals

 

[Andy99]

Actual Q&A lol…he’s great at nonanswering

Reporter:
Mike how do you balance the very good start for the first 35, 40 minutes against say last 35?

Sullivan:
I thought we competed hard. That's one of the most explosive offenses in the league. We knew they were going to push back. We competed hard all night.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

All they had to do was hold a four-goal lead for 24 minutes.

Yes and get a better pick next season.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

The fact sully can keep his job through this season is f***ing incredible.

"Incredible" isn't the word I'd use. Idiotic, insane, moronic, absolute nuts, etc. is more fitting.

 

[Jacob]

At least DOC looks like a bona-fide top 6 complimentary winger now. I’d try to get him extended this summer before he pads his stats for a full season.

 

[Andy99]

Another reporter:
Is there anything about the game coming up in two days? Quick thought? Quick memory to just forget about this one and flush it or how do bounce back from a game like this?

Sullivan:
We've got to take the same approach we've taken here all along. We're trying to win the game right in front of us.

Why doesn’t anyone ask him a follow up question: if that approach has been so successful for you Mike, why is your team well below .500 on the season? lol

 

[PensPlz]

Geez. Reminds me of the 4 goal leads this team blew last season too. I think it was against Detroit.

If there was ever a game to fire Sullivan after where no one could question why.... This would be the game.

But they won't. And nothing will change. Will only get worse.

 

[Icarium]

Watched the highlights. I got a good laugh not only from yet another episode of Funny Penguins Collapse but from Edzo trying to explain it away with the altitude. Because, you know, this never happens to Mikey and the boys outside of Denver.

 

[Al Smith]

All they had to do was hold a four-goal lead for 24 minutes.

There are probably no more than 30 teams in the league that can consistently do that.

 

[Turin]

LMAO at the post game.

"I mean they have a good offense, we tried at least"

WINNER MENTALITY

 

[66-30-33]

Jake missed on the penalty shot. He going to destroy us.

Pass the blunt Mike….quit hoggin’ it!!!

Do y’think he’ll take them all out for ice cream now too!!!

 

[Al Smith]

I don't know. He's on a 12 goal 30 point pace or so. I'd like to have my top 6 forwards scoring at a higher clip than that, but maybe our expectations should be going down. He'll be 26 at the beginning of next season, so maybe he improves. I think he's clearly shown he can compete at the NHL level on a regular basis unlike most of our tweeners, but I see him as no more than a 3rd line guy, and on a good team, I'd see him as a solid 4th line guy.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Jake missed on the penalty shot. He going to destroy us.

Good!!

I want him to score like 5 goals before skating to centre ice and flipping us the double-bird salute!!!

So glad we got the participation trophy

 

[The Old Master]

Yes and get a better pick next season.

as the season goes along, i'm starting to change my mind on that. it looks more and more like we are going to get a new coach next year and could end up with a team that try's and is better than this one. (even if our players just play up to exaptation's.) so maybe this is the year to tank and get as high a pick as we can.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Dubas would rather lose with Sullivan than win with anyone else. That’s all it is.

I thought the goal now was to lose as much as possible the rest of the season?

 

[ncm7772]

Leave it to these bums to make a 4-0 lead against a top team in the NHL a bad thing.
