Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Habs | Loss | Pathetic

[DesertedPenguin]

This is definitely a concern.

 

[eXile3]

- L1
- Letang
- Sullivan
+ Malkin
+ McGinn
+ Zucker
+ me

Healthy Zucks has been awesome.

 

[Andy99]

no one is going to be held accountable so save your breath….besides the usual suspects, I wouldnt be playing Jarry…bring up Tokarski….this team has zero chance of doing anything unless the goaltending is stellar and Jarry is giving me bad Fleury vibes…

 

[Turin]

Crosby looks tired and disinterested.

Stick Hallander and Poulin on his wings and give him some players to coach.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

They were faster and more resilient. Outshot the hell out of us, too.

L1 is awful.
L2 is incredible.
Bottom 6 is meh.

PP1 is worse than awful.
PK gives up too many chances.

I really think we're a coaching change away from looking much better, but I doubt that happens.

I'm with you now.

He isn't going to learn.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Send the team a message

Trade Sid

 

[DesertedPenguin]

just swap Raks and Rust. Raks isn't doing anything with Zucker and Malkin aside from good positioning. L1 was tremendous with Rakell, its such an obvious move.

Rust is playing so poorly though that he will tank Malkin's line.

Rust needs to be demoted to the bottom six for a few games, not to Malkin's line.

 

[Hockeygod66]

Sullivan really has got nothing. CGR was awful but the dumbass ran them into the ground yesterday. Crosby is 35 and he played him 20 and 21 minutes while malkin and zucker are playing great getting less ice time when they're more rested. Does this guy do anything?

[Gurglesons]

I want a new coach, but I don't think it's fixing anything.

Zucker had 3 points tonight and played 6 minutes less than Bryan Rust who played a total of six seconds on the PK.

If you want to pretend that accountable coaching won’t effect the end result feel free. GCR and our staff’s obsession with it is actively putting us out of the playoffs.

 

[PensPlz]

The penguins with the lead is the worst team in hockey.

Mike Sullivan has to go.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Mike Sullivan is so far past his expiration date I can smell him in San Diego.

Impossible to judge a team that plays Zucker and Rakell less than 13 minutes in a game when they are on fire.

Zucker or Rakell or both on the PP in place of Letang and Rust would be immediate passion and energy. They lose nothing defensively and gain a lot of effort.

 

[Andy99]

Petry played it horribly. And I swear Jarry is over committing from side to side.

Plus, what's with Jarry's loose pads? It's creating gaps around his skates and accounted for at least one goal tonight.

Wonder if it has to do with his noninjury injury…lol

 

[Tender Rip]

Honestly, Sid, Rust and Letang should be embarrassed of themselves. Sure Rust is playing badly, but Sid is every bit as lousy in his own zone, and those three suck utter balls on the PP. At least Geno and Guentzel look like having a clue.

Jarry had stretches of keeping us in it, but again cannot shut down to get the save to win it. A somewhat heroic loser, he is.

Bylsma… eh… Sully… refusing to see what’s obvious.

Anyway… a B2B away and its three points. We can live with that. Just a shame with how L2 and Brock again gave us a shot.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

At some point, the Rust's, Sid's and Letang's of the world need to be better.

I get the accountability talk and Geno's line 100% needs more ice, but this isn't going to work no matter what if the other guys on the team don't improve drastically.

It isn't right, but guys like Sid and Letang would get incredible leeway no matter who they played for. Coaches who treat stars like anybody else don't last, generally..

 

[SomeOldDude]

Sid and Rust need to sit for a while. It really pisses me off that he insisted everyone re-sign and then plays like he doesn't give a shit.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Zucker had 3 points tonight and played 6 minutes less than Bryan Rust who played a total of six seconds on the PK.

There's no comparison between Zucker and Rust. Zucker plays every shift like it's his last, for his teammates. Rust is fat and happy and watches superstars outwork him. He makes me sick to watch his lack of care.

 

[PensandCaps]

CGR didn't score all year at 5v5 two years ago and Sullivan still ran with it vs NYI. I don't see any hope of a permanent Rust demotion.

 

[Pancakes]

Zucker had 3 points tonight and played 6 minutes less than Bryan Rust who played a total of six seconds on the PK.

I mean yeah sure play the one line that has been playing well on this team more. Maybe a new coach does that.

We're still trotting out this defense and this bottom six. And a Rust who doesnt care. And our goaltending.

Just so many giant holes on this team that I don't see a new coach fixing.

 

[Gurglesons]

More idiocy from our staff.

 

[Darren McCord]

We need to break up L1 but I'm not entirely sure how you do it.

You put the players are separate lines

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

This graph is unchanged basically the entire season

 

[Zirakzigil]

Anyone see Sid recently?

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean yeah sure play the one line that has been playing well on this team more. Maybe a new coach does that.

We're still trotting out this defense and this bottom six. And a Rust who doesnt care. And our goaltending.

Just so many giant holes on this team that I don't see a new coach fixing.

You know what’s cool. A different coach and belief can get players to play a different way.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I mean.... I guess on the flip side, we too 3 out of 4 points in a back to back. Thats not too bad..... Zero reasons we should of lost this.

You underestimate the powers of RoboPigeon.

These are preordain of the voodoo magic world. Snatching defeat from victory.
