Post-Game Talk: Pens vs Kings: PP giveth and taketh away on Jagr night

[The Grim Reaper]

Mod note:
We get it, you are frustated, Sully is frustrating, etc. However, if you are just going to come here and swear/rant, dont, sign out instead. It doesnt add to the discussion. Take this as your warning.

Pens getting that Pirates treatment. Not a good sign.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I blame the pigeon logo, ever since it was used last year they haven't made the playoffs.

 

[K Fleur]

I really think if we play DOC just 200 more games he might put it all together and figure out how to score once in awhile.

 

[Crosbyfan]

I guess it was predictable that we'd blow a lead after going into the third up by one.
After all...the Kings were still fresh from having just played yesterday and we had had only had 2 days off.

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m shocked Mike Sullivan shortening the bench to Carter, white and Harkins didn’t win us the game in the third.

 

[Josey Wales]

They literally threw a season away because they think Reirden is a nice guy. f*** this team

OH FFS they Don't Listen To Reirden, They listen to SID

 

[Yultron]

On the bright side with the loss , the Penguins now own their protected first round pick per The Score

 

[Dessloch]

Why do I have such a strange intuition that Jagr is deeply concerned about the Pittsburgh Penguins watching them play and saying the things he said up in the booth? It is weird ...

"Some guys you should be careful before giving some guys long contracts and then they showed Rust on the ice, haha"

Just so bad to lose this in regulation and ruin the good mood of the night! But I guessa bad team suck regardless of occasion!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

My wife may hate it but I really need to sell the tickets for the game.

 

[Trade]

We did that for Jagr, baby!!

Sorry!

 

[vodeni]

This whole way of playing, having softest and slowest team in NHL playing grinding hockey,

 

[Coastal Kev]

They retired Jagr's jersey while mentally retiring from wanting more and backing Sullivan as the coach Crosby wants.



Sullivan is never getting fired. He holds so much influence and power, it's comical to think Kyle Dubas left the leafs for wanting more say and he went to a team where instead of the team president having more say like he should, he came to a team where the coach has more influence and power over him.

This franchise is a f***ing joke thanks to FSG. Enjoy watching Sid while Malkin deteriorates with shit usage because this is the most we will get out of this f***ing franchise until FSG sells them. This coach is just f***ing awful. Has no idea how to use what he has and what he should use that is available to him. They're missing 1 forward and using the roster like they're missing multiple.

Mario’s ownership group started the sulky hero worship!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Sullivan basically played three lines tonight. Puljujarvi and Harkins were stapled to the bench.

If he's not going to play guys, why are they in the lineup? Play guys who can provide some offense if that's the case.

Isn't your take that Puljujaarvi is showing a pulse and Harkins is a something I can't be bothered to acknowledge or another?

Mate, did your boy Sully finally break you?

 

[farscape1]

My eyes must be getting bad but i swear i seen a midget out there on the Pens team.

 

[Empoleon8771]

You know Pittsburgh sports are in a dire situation when the Pittsburgh Pirates are probably the team with the brightest future of all of the Pittsburgh sports teams.

I'd honestly even consider the Penguins below the Steelers at this point.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Best case scenario is trading Guentzel for a haul, getting him to return on a discount deal next year and totally revamp this team.

What they have put together here is simply not going to win anything nor even make the playoffs.

Something drastic needs to be done and I’m not even sure what. All I know is that this shit ain’t it.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I blame the pigeon logo, ever since it was used last year they haven't made the playoffs.

So the logo? Not the pigeon brained coach?

 

[vodeni]

let the excuse game start...

 

[66-30-33]

I put the game on to see if Jarry can get number 7 shutout only to watch an epic fail the team put on at the end. Once I put the game on LA tied it up and took the lead after. They must be purposely tanking. I'll watch when Pens play Canucks unless a coaching change happens.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

We really are going to commit to a rebuild before we fire the coach, aren’t we

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

In front of the all time greats....embarrassing

Changes needed to happen years ago.

Hate to break it to you all, but as long as they continue to play to 98% capacity, they ain't changing a damn thing.

 

[Zirakzigil]

With younger guys that have produced more, the Penguins have somehow allowed a line to consist of Harkins, Carter, and Colin White.

How is it possible that our bottom 6 got worse from last year?

Why do we constantly have to play these old f***s and vets they offer little to nothing at all?

This team needs a youth movement in the worst way. It can’t be worse than this.

Ironically Carter isnt costing us games and is at least willing to shoot the bloody puck.

My wife may hate it but I really need to sell the tickets for the game.

Still debating if I am buying tickets when they come to Calgary. Its Kippers retirement that night so the cost is stupid.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

You know Pittsburgh sports are in a dire situation when the Pittsburgh Pirates are probably the team with the brightest future of all of the Pittsburgh sports teams.

I'd honestly even consider the Penguins below the Steelers at this point.

Steelers somehow find a QB that isn’t below average and they are easily the best team in Pittsburgh. Easy to say they need to find one but at least they know how to field competitive teams.

Use to be able to say the same about the Penguins but not this year.

The Pirates are just a f***ing joke. The only reason I step in PNC is a reason to go to the outfield bars and drink.

 

[Come on]

BLOW IT UP!!

What part of they can't aren't you getting?

 

[K Fleur]

I can’t wait for Atlanta to get a team.

Again.
