Congrats Gruden on his 1st NHL goal. Dubas and the Fenway Sports Club love Mike Sullivan and they can have him. Another two goal lead gone AGAIN!!!! I have three more words.

When do the fire Sullivan chants start at PPG? Honest question, what would it take?

not that kind of fanbase, is the real answer

 

[66-30-33]

Only 10 more years of Sully?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Like I said in the GDT, this is basically a predictable movie at this point.

Blow a two goal lead after failing to put the opposition away on the PP, then give up the winner in the last minute.

Literally like watching a re-run of a bad movie.

The kinda fanbase that will chant to fire the GM but not the coach?

 

[Turin]

- Letang with the worst single game performance in years.

- Reirden still committed to sabotaging the powerplay and Malkins dwindling career.

- Dubas wasted an entire season after bringing in Karlsson and doing absolutely nothing about the clear as day problems this team has had since October.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

This team is f***ing awful. Fire everyone and trade everyone you can.

Blow it up.

f***ing losers.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The Pens are who we thought they were.

 

[66-30-33]

Crosby and MacKinnon would be amazing to watch!

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Also Karlsson looked like a difference maker out there early on during the first 12ish games. Now he looks like Tyson Barrie out there


Wonder why?

It's not that hard to start one. We need to have faith Dubas makes the right moves for the future of this team by this time next week.

 

[Bowski]

At least we still have the band back together...

Aww shit!

 

[Pancakes]

I always root for them to win but maybe a loss like this before the deadline isn't the worst thing. I don't want Dubas to get deluded into thinking this team can make the playoffs.

This loss is crushing because they'll almost certainly lose tomorrow in a b2b against Edmonton and 3 losses on this trip = gg season.

I mean the season was probably already over but this is just twisting the knife in such a way that even the Doobler can't ignore it

Mike Sullivan is revered for some reason even though he's just a guy whose ideas peaked 6-8 years ago.

He says leadershippy things in a strong voice and had early success. That's Teflon I guess.

The kinda fanbase that will chant to fire the GM but not the coach?

the kind of fanbase that will chant to fire matt canada, but not mike sullivan. it is what it is, there's not really a standard to hold anyone to, and the media will absolutely never say a negative word about mike sullivan. fire hextall was a media lead initiative. you will get more about mike tomlin, as funny as it is

 

[66-30-33]

Also Karlsson looked like a difference maker out there early on during the first 12ish games. Now he looks like Tyson Barrie out there

Sullivan said he's going to coach him to be better...he's now better coached.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I wish we didn't have the games in hand. Gives us hope to witness losing a 2 goal lead game in 10 minutes.

Don't even get a loser point.

They chanted to fire Hextall too. What do you think holds them back from Sully?

Sullivan said he's going to coach him to be better...he's now better coached.

Pain

media didn't like hextall. no one did, but that was the impetus for the chants. there's just no normie media weight behind the anti sullivan stuff

For the dinosaurs to roam the earth again, Mark Madden to wake up weighing less then a full grown elephant, the Nordquies, Whalers and Expos all to come back, in short an act of god.

Crosby and MacKinnon would be amazing to watch!

Seeing Sid outside of Pitt would suck no matter what

I honestly don't understand it. Why do the "casuals" love him so much? Do they not actually form their own opinions by watching him and just rely on the local reporters/television talking heads to tell them he's awesome?

 

[66-30-33]

Yeah but I wanna see him win more cups.
