[Zirakzigil]

Well at least the video coach showed up, cause the rest of the team didnt. I got nothing, much like DeSmith tonight.

Lmao 4 regulation losses in a row, two to bottom feeders. Blow it up.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Plus Poehing, Malkin and Jake. This was the worst road trip I have seen by a penguins team in a very long time.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Just f***ing fold it up. The season is over. These f***ing losers don't deserve to wear the sweater anymore.

 

[dogthateats]

Hope no one overreacts

 

[Gurglesons]

Fully expect this team to kick the shit out of Boston now.

Same trends we’ve seen for years tbh.

 

[Turin]

The only thing that would explain that road trip is if the team found out tragic news after Rust scored in Edmonton. Because they were not the same team at all after than for 8 straight periods.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

@Gurglesons Do your magic and start a main board thread.

 

[StaalForOne]

Martin Jones winning the goalie matchup. Not great.

 

[HuskerTornado]

I think they lost the last time they won 2 challenges in a game as well.

 

[Pancakes]

This was the type of road trip that gets a coach fired, but Sullivan will not get fired because they just signed him.

The answer will come from within that room or not at all.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

DeSmith allowed 2 goals. Who cares how? Can't blame the backup when the team in front of him is flaccid.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Car wins
Was wins
NYR wins
NYI wins
Phi losed in OT

Pit loses in regulation

7th in the division. Losers.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

This team is coached to shit.

They had a chance to blow it up in the offseason...elected to bring the whole group back (with no move or some kind of no trade clauses to boot) and then tacked contract extensions to the coaching staff on to it.

There's no blowing it up now.

Like the hall of the fame Steelers coach Chuck Noll once said that all of his players should donate their paychecks due to their poor performance.

California

 

[Extra Texture]

Kind of at a loss for what to say. As soon as Seattle got that equalizer, after two goals ruled out, I just got the feeling of “well, that’s it”

I’m getting strong 2014 Mike Johnston vibes.

 

[ChaosAgent]

If Sid & Letang are going to play like this, just fake injuries to galvanize the team. You can't wear a letter on your jersey in this sentimental-ass team and just not try like Sid did over the last 200 minutes.

Pathetic effort.

---Dumo
----Petry
---Rust
+/- Malkin. A+ for trying at least and doing some good stuff but there was also bad stuff. We need him to create goals at ES. He ain't doing it.
----Kapanen turnover, but that's what happens when you press cause your team sucks.

++++Jake individual effort

 

[Andy99]

What happened to all the goals we used to score? Did we use them up already? Why can’t we complete a pass, why cant the D transition the puck quickly and why can’t we manage the puck? Why am I asking so many questions?

 

[SomeOldDude]

I'm not sure what to think, but they are just bad right now and may be so all year. I hope this is just a slump, but I doubt it.

I sure wish they would have not fielded this geriatric team and just blown it up. Now we have to wait at least a few more years before a rebuild and then a few years for that to take. They are going to suck for probably 5 years now.

Hard agree with that. That stretch of play under MJ was the last time I remember the Pens looking this lost.

They better right the ship and quick

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Jake didn't resurrect for this.

 

[dogthateats]

Sid missed an open net like 3 times or we would have won. We also hit a couple posts.

 

[SEALBound]

This is where winning those 4 games early helps.
