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

[Rudy Russo]

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.

I know it's a long shot, but I'd love it if the penguins could land free agent Collin Graf from Quinnipiac.

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.

Only a team as savvy as the Penguins could simultaneously pay Mike Sullivan and Jack Johnson to not come to work.

Have you been drinking before you posted this? Because I'm not entirely sure what substance is clouding your mind to think there's been ANY indication that the organization wants to move on from Sullivan.

This is about the 13th embarrassing, fireable loss by the team this year. I may be underestimating it. A loss like this cooks 99% of coaches in the league, and it happens at least once every five games.

FSG stupidly added a 3 year extension to Sullivans contract. So they have to eat that or find a way to justify keeping him while the team goes south. Now Dubas may not care as to the rebuild since does it matter now. But what Dubas has to change is the nonsense of not wanting a physical component to the roster. Sullivan needs to adapt and being fired may give him one more coaching job which he fails, he is done.

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.

Okay. Well, he's the captain. If he wants things to change maybe he should stop being so polite and call out the players or his coach in the media.

It's insane to be honest. Yet Dubas will be in the media defending Mike Sullivan's abilities in a few weeks.

This board sucks, first time I have been able to get this place to load in like 2 hours.

 

[Sidgeni Malkby]

I was wrong…
I thought they were going to lose in regulation after being up 4-0.

Team..
If you still think you can make it then win the damn game. All the loser point does is weaken our draft pic, nothing else.

At least Crosby got 4 points!

I’m up for throwing the system away and trying different things the rest of the season.

I’m waiting to hear what Sully says once we are mathematically out of it.

We didn’t execute enough (formerly known as “we didn’t get to our game”)….

 

[Rudy Russo]

The remaining schedule for the penguins.
Carolina
Home and Home against CBJ
Rangers
Devils
Caps
Lighting
Toronto
Detroit
Boston
Nashville
Islanders
With the deflating losses since January, the penguins draft position is looking great before the lottery.

This season can’t end soon enough

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Ross Johnston buried a goal tonight, so Jansen Harkins is the last man standing in the 0 goals battle.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Sid got points, which is cool. They collapsed in embarrassing fashion, which is hilarious. They didn't lose in regulation, which sucks, and nothing will come of this season with regard to firing the coaching staff or going into rebuild mode, which also sucks.

 

[Captain Hook]

We've become one of those bad teams that the other team can toy with, fall way behind us and still turn it on and whoop us any time they want.

At least Sid was fun to watch today.

Now seems to load normally since I came back from playing helldivers 2.

I wonder if he'd take like a 2 mill x 3 type deal.

Let's him be 3rd wheel top 6 or 3rd liner.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

This season can’t end soon enough

I feel like I said the same thing last season. It's almost like Sullivan coaching this team is an endless loop of suffering for us fans.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I miss the days when Sid would actually try and lead.

 

[TNT87]

I'm not even mad anymore. Apathy has set in. We've seen this shit for years now. The stench of Sully has poisoned this team.

 

[Giskard]

I'm just here for Crosby points to 82, the score doesn't even matters anymore

 

[PaulD]

Blowing a FOUR goal lead, is NOT the same as blowing any old lead

It's in a different stratosphere

rerun...... seen it last season in Pittsburg.

Pens lead at home 4-0 over Wings.

Wings 5-4 in overtime.

Only time in Red Wings history they have come back from a 4 goal deficit and won on the road.

Sullivan such a tactician.

 

[PaulD]

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.

Yep. 6-0 likey would have ended 7-6 Aves

 

[PaulD]

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.

did he not add his favorites
"I thought at times we were the better team out there"
or
" again attention to detail was lacking"
and
" struggled with our consistency "

How is the team’s home attendance doing???

I’ve seen quite a few photos of a-lot of empty PPG seats already.

I know the tickets can still be counted as “sold” regardless of whether or not an ass is physically in a seat, but are people starting to just not bother going to games yet??
