Post-Game Talk: Pens sink to new depths vs Stars

[Sidney the Kidney]

You have to be joking. Sullivan coached two Stanley Cup winners, and will get a good job the second he is let go. And the Pens lineup is not good at all. One example - Guentzel isn't playing well because of Brind'Amour, he's playing well because his linemates and team are that much better.

It's always funny when fans of other teams chime in with their opinions about how "wrong" we are about our coaches.

Apparently they still haven't learned after the Bylsma fiasco.

Guentzel was playing well here too, slick.

Please tell me one amazing coaching decision Sullivan did in the last 4 years.

I somehow thought that question would be more quickly answered, given what a brilliant coach he is and all.

Every good thing that's happened was Sullivan's doing, and every bad thing was just an unfortunate circumstance out of his control.

Once in some game a couple of years ago Sully called a timeout and the Penguins scored not long after that while Phil Bourque rubbed himself raw in the broadcast booth. That's about it.

@BusinessGoose really boned us on the Avs game when he made this thread title.

Caps have won something like 20+ one goal games.

Big difference is Caps have Lindgren who can actually close out a game and we have Tristan Jarry who is yet another example of a shitty player fleecing Dubas for term, salary and trade protection.

Truth.
Anyone with eyes knew not to sign the guy for big(ger) money and longer term, yet the contract he got was.... wow.

Not really sure why outside of the loyalty. He was always said he was going to be the guy since draft (yes?) and performance or otherwise never really showed he was the guy to back the team with confidence for a long duration of time.
Yet he got paid like he is/was.
Unless I'm way wrong and misremembering.... just one blunder after another over the past several years.... completely unsurprised they are where they are now. Exactly where they were headed.
