"I think an audience of 5,000 just saw the Penguins pass the torch to the Arizona Coyotes as the league's best team."

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

This is the game that ended the Crosby Era.

They can't dig themselves out of the hole they've dug them and they're gonna miss the POs for a second straight year. They will stay "in the hunt" enough that Dubi buys instead of sells, which will just put them further from the POs again before Sid retires.

Jake will leave for free in the summer and Ned will chase the money as well.

They are going to ruin another great year from Sid and top-10 goaltending because they refuse to fire the f***ing coach or fix the PP. Geno is f***ing washed and Tang isn't making enough good plays to make up for his 10-cent brain. EK turned into shit once Sully got his claws into him.

Sid's last game played past the 1st round of the playoffs will be a loss to the Caps in 2018.

This is so f***ing depressing.

We all knew it was a matter of time, but Nick Bjugstad has stolen the crown right from Crosby's head.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

I feel bad for Geno. Really f***ing pathetic play but he’s going to wear that one for a while.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Junior rink, junior hockey team!

 

[Beau Knows]

The last two games ending in such spectacularly embarrassing fashion, that I can't imagine how Dubas doesn't start dismantling this team tomorrow morning.

Maybe he's not allowed to fire Sullivan because of his contract, but he can't let the team be that pathetic without any consequences. People have to start getting shipped out of town.

It´s just sad because of Sid. He is the only thing making me sad at this point. The era is over but he is still elite. His friends around him are letting him down big way tho.

We're done without Jarry.



They need to switch coaches and see if it's a coaching issue before making major trades.

But I think it's set in stone that he stays until at least the end of this season, no matter what.

It doesn't matter and I completely disagree that we are done without him. You trade him to see if you can get a soft rebuild going now and still somehow stay competitive. If you can't, then oh well, rebuild started. Ned and Blomqvist will be the future anyway.

 

[DearDiary]

Pens have 3 players who have been superstar level at ES in Letang, Crosby and Guentzal. I'm sick of seeing Sullivans face behind bench.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Trucked by the Coyotes. Random is and Sullivan coaches.

 

[Lomez]

I'm not mad. I feel sadness. This is the end. It was a good run. It's over. Poor Sid.

100%. Geno and Tang are completely letting Sid down and it sucks. I would never have foreseen this after that Caps loss. Sully has ruined so much of Sid's career, just like DB did before him.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I have said for several years now that we have been playing with house money.

This core nailed their cups.

I accepted that this group's time had ended. A lot of the fan base is still going through the stages of grief.

I didn't expect the powerplay to be the worst in the league. That caught me be surprise. You would think that Crosby alone would have pushed them from the bottom third.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

If you've been affected by the Pittsburgh Penguins coached to shit by Michael Sullivan, you may be entitled to compensation.

I wonder how badly Florida will pimp slap this beaten down, haggard team...

 

[ChaosAgent]

This "staying the course" is a farce. Let's count on 36 year olds because of the stuff they did and won at age 22, 28 and 29. Let's honor their legacy by becoming irrelevant. Let's make the coach an unassailable figure so we can wax nostalgic about how awesome 2016-2017 were.

This is not a serious hockey organization. It's run by emotion and fan service. Turn the page on this crap. Don't care if we're worse for a couple of years.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

This is probably a real nice moment for some of you.

Soak it in. It's your time.

 

[Turin]

Team is just Philly in the Hakstol era. Streaky, pretty boring, aggressively mediocre, little personality.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

The bullshit of this team is that they'll probably come out and stomp the Cats making it look like they're back only to piss away the MTL game. They always do the ting that givers the most hope and most disappointment.

EK too actually. He is a bigger disappointment than Letang. Letang is actually having a decent season. But yeah, the point stands. I´m done, we´re done. The team was done after Malkin´s own goal. This feels like it will affect them much further than just this game.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Karlsson gave up so many odd man rushes tonight. Graves , again, was awful in basically every facet of the game.

But one of our biggest problems is lack of scoring from our wingers aside from Guenztel. Rust, Rakell, Smith when he’s in.. they are invisible. They’re not creating they’re not defending particularly well. It can’t all be Sid and Jake.

 

[66-30-33]

Glad I missed this game, I’ll watch Feb 6.

 

[Bowski]

The icing on the **** cake is Rust has comfortably returned to being the useless eunuch he was all of last season. Count that money homeslice!

Between him, Rakell, and Smith, so much $ wasted on less-than-mediocre wingers.

With EK, we all saw that he was amazing last year so I'm giving him a Sully pass.
