All f***ing year. All f***ing 2020s.

If this loser is coach next year I'm not watching. I swear to Christ, on the night of his resurrection, I won't watch.

I don't know why people are bothering to watch THIS season. This team is a joke as long as it continues to employ Sullivan, and these games like tonight have become the norm under him.

FSG, Dubas and the rest of the organization don't deserve anyone's time. They're so fixated on worshipping this fraud of a coach that they really can take a hike.

I watch due to Crosby, and the younger players, but it's hard since they only get five to nine minutes per player a night.

Can't even hold the 2 goal lead against a team 1-7-2 in their last 10.

Why am I not surprised? Coulda been 5-1 we would have still lost. Yet we are going to keep rolling the same coach when 99.9% of other teams woulda got rid of him by now.

From DK site- Postgame
Mike Sullivan: “If anyone can figure out goalie interference, we’re all ears.” Asked Sullivan if he can identity trends that have led to the Penguins’ inability to close out games in three-on-three overtime. He said “Yeah, there are.” I said, “Do you want to share them?” and he said, “Nope.”

I'll spare you the suspense....cancel your center ice package now, lol.

Wow we got a rough schedule coming up the rest of the season, might not get a single win. Hopefully we have a few of those games where we can take on a top team.

We know if the pens get a two goal lead in any of those games it won't last.

What if we go up 7-1? Man that would be bad to lose up 7-1.

 

[BusinessGoose]

That's a tough loss when they can't afford a loss (broken record)

 

[Rudy Russo]

Of course it would but Sullivan would be happy the pens outshot the other team.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

lol it was 3-1.

But I want to go to 8 minutes left in the game. It's already 3-3.

We know that:
- This team needs every point possible to make the playoffs, which is their stated objective.
- This team is 5-10 in overtime.
- This team does not practice 3-on-3.
- Jeff Carter has has a clear year-over-year decrease in production.
- Jeff Carter fails the eye test.
- Jeff Carter averages .18 points per game.

So. If this team needs every point, can't win in overtime, and doesn't practice to win in overtime, why is Jeff Carter getting every other shift inside of 8 minutes?

In addition. Pittsburgh media. Why is a guy who lives thousands of miles away in a desert asking better questions than you?

“The blue paint is the goalie’s domain,” Sullivan said. “We felt like, when a player goes into the blue paint on his own volition without getting pushed, then there’s a possible goalie interference. But your guess is as good as mine. If anybody can figure out goalie interference, we’re all ears.”

Lmao the Columbus player didn't do anything to affect Ned's ability to make a save. Sully is such a wanker sometimes.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Speaking of wankers, how about that Pens broadcast team when Joseph was penalized for very clearly getting his stick caught in Marchenko's skates and tripping him?

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

ugh stop f***ing getting points. way to go on a 3 game point streak after getting eliminated from the POS you f***ing losers.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

This is pretty damning.

 

[FlightlessBird]

I honestly think the media is starting to turn on Sully. Slowly...but surely.

Not Yohe. He’s still being a good little lap dog.

 

[Giskard]

Just waiting for the "April of the Penguins" .. 9-0 and we're in

It gets much easier when you stop giving a shit about this rotating ragtag bunch of no-heart losers.

We haven’t been a likeable bunch for years.

Louder for the deaf morons in the back please….

Josh Yohe checked his dignity and pride at the door years ago.

Honestly, Yohe's probably become the most insufferable of the local media. And that says a LOT considering some of the absolute dolts who cover the Pens.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I can't decide whether Sullivan acts like a guy who knows his job is safe regardless of what he does, or whether he acts like a guy who knows he isn't gonna be here in October.

Either way, it sucks. At least the constant cratering and collapses are f***ing funny though.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Joke of a giveaway by Letang on their goal #1 and Malkin's shootout attempt was ridiculously stupid.
Low ranged shot at the pad? When does that ever work?

 

[canadianguy77]

I think I’m going to start appreciating their 3-4 game winning streaks a little more when/if they happen now. I think the days of winning streaks of more than a handful of games are over for a few years at least.

 

[ncm7772]

Remember Sully during pressers his first 2 (maybe 3) seasons? He would hold players accountable yet still laud the positives. Made no excuses, was honest.

An absolute, complete 180 from how he is now. Scared, defensive, clueless.

 

[Pens x]

i distanced myself from the team after last off season. I hope they win but until they fire sully and assemble a respectable front office, I am largely out. Not because the team is bad but because they continue to sabotage themselves with stupidity.
