[Zirakzigil]

Bad loss all around. You guys got lots of leeway in the GDT. Don’t abuse it here. Swearing for no reason doesn’t add to any discussion.

Bylsma > Sullivan.

Would love to see Sully take that 13-14 squad to the playoffs.

If Florida can’t catch this team, the East should only have 7 in the playoffs.

Bylsma > Sullivan.

This comment is the only thing worse than that 6-0 loss.

This guy could be in net as far as the Pens are concern... for trying to score.



How about that pigeon logo curse... It was over a long time ago...

What’s the difference between the two?

Igor was a bit better than Jarry in this game. I think.

I'll take Cup years Sullivan over Cup year Bylsma. But after that, yea I'll take post cup Bylsma over post cups Sully

You know Hextall will re sign Jarry .

Bylsma was actually great at getting a lot out of injury riddled teams. The problem was the playoffs lol.

Sullivan has his place in Pens history. But this team should probably just miss the playoffs and rip this bandaid off.

The Rangers didn’t look good in the early first but a couple semi-leaky goals deflated us and also allowed the Rangers to play the way they wanted to and that’s it.

Agreed.

 

[BusinessGoose]

You know Hextall will re sign Jarry .

I'm going to sell my shares of the team if they do

I'm gonna have to wait for a colorful chart before I decide on this one.

 

[Gurglesons]

Semi-leaky plus our coach being obsessed with Brian Dumoulin and Jeff Carter.

To the comment that said Bylsma got the Pens to the playoffs without Sid, Geno and Letang regularly:


2011 sure, Crosby and Malkin were lost down the stretch and the Pens were lead by Letang, Staal and Kennedy into unceremoniously losing in the 1st round.

2012, Malkin was by far the best player in the league, Letang was in his prime, Staal had his best season yet and Kuntiz-Malkin-Neal was the best line in the NHL. And Crosby came back in February or something like that and scored almost 2 points a game. Then they imploded vs Philly in a matchup where they had every statistical advantage.

2013, Crosby was by far the best player in the league, Malkin was 2nd, Neal and Kunitz doing just as well as before, Letang having his best season.. then they got Iginla, Dupuis was also back to being really good. A complete nonfactor vs Boston to the extent that it's really generous to say they even made the ECF. Their stupid stretch pass zero support system totally exposed. and the worst lineup decisions ever coupled with some brutal GMing by Shero with Murray and Morrow, The team's defensive performance in the last 3 playoff rounds at that point had been horrible.

2014, Crosby was by far the best player in the league and was healthy all year. Kunitz had his best season. Neal was mostly healthy and had his best season and Bylsma had a coach baby sitter in Martin to help instill some structure in their system finally after 4 years. Malkin and Letang weren't healthy that year but it doesn't matter. Totally choked vs NYR. Gladams for life etc etc.

So... are we really gonna act like Bylsma did wonders without the stars? How did Bylsma do after he was removed from having generational talent on his rosters?

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Glad I chose life tonight.

Good news is, no more Rags games this season.

If Petts is out for any length of time, I can definitely see this team losing out or maybe only picking up 2-4 points the rest of the way.

And in all honesty, it’s probably for the best. Getting a top 5-10 pick will serve this team much better than a 4 or 5 game opening round playoff series loss. Trim some of the fat this summer and see what we have next season with a new GM and hopefully coach.

 

[Andy99]

What’s there to talk about? Embarrassing…can’t wait to hear how they’ll learn from it and be better next game…

 

[ronduguayshair]

The game was lost after #71 taking a bad, selfish penalty at the end of the 3rd. Tgen Jarry getting beat short side. Then Letang with a moronic pinch.

It’s the top guys. It’s pretty lazy blaming carter and dumoulin for this one.

 

[Pens x]

Igor was a bit better than Jarry in this game. I think.

Don’t anger the “it’s not Jarry’s fault” please.

Who would have thought, our success hinged on Pettersson
