It's kind of crazy how out of all those goals, the Kunitz versus Ottawa and Bonino versus the Caps ones give me the most goosebumps.
The Leafs have nothing to play for they're locked into their position.
Jumbotron cues up:They’d better hang a “You f***ing Blew It” banner in the rafters with our piss poor season and franchise management as a whole.
That ain't crazy, not one bit. I agree. Does anyone have the quick video of Kunitz face as he is skating to the glass after his shot. Not on the normal links. It was great. Bonino jumping over Holtby, post-goal, was pretty damn awesome, too. (edit: jumping back a year)It's kind of crazy how out of all those goals, the Kunitz versus Ottawa and Bonino versus the Caps ones give me the most goosebumps.
Super awesome. First ever playoff goal for Hainsey (900 games until he got to the playoffs or something sick like that?), but him punking bitch Jimmy Neal at the beginning was classic.Hainsey Nashville was pretty cool. I was there in person tho.

Knick knack paddy whack, give zero f***s bro.Ain't no chance if you aren't at the dance
Cool now look at 6yrs worth of bad Coaching and try to catch up with that.Jarry made 19 saves. Like he didn't play bad but its not like he stole the game.
He has been one of the the many issues this year.
I think it'd piss off the right people more if they don't make it.Whether the Cats lose in regulation or OT/SO will help. They sure as hell can always lose another game in OT/SO against the Leafs or Canes, lol.
I wish there was, but there's no guarantee that they will clean house if they barely miss the playoffs.
I say f*** it. Get in and piss a lot of jamokes off, lol.
I think it'd piss off the right people more if they don't make it.
This team needs to fail to learn to be better. Just getting by and making it only to get smoked because of the coach and constantly making player changes has done nothing. All I can hope for is missing pisses off the right players that have the right ears bent their way.
For me progress needs to come at a very hard price with a team this arrogant.

I always remember the part of the “Crosby: On The Ice And Beyond” DVD when just after crushingly lose to Detroit in ‘08 and Sid not only looked beyond crestfallen he says “losing stinks…it truly does” while narrating.
Where did that guy go???
With all of our then crazy success that followed over the next decade, we got way too f***ing country club complacent and cocky. Again!! Just like in the Lemieux/Jagr days. Letting the inmates run the asylum, mailing it in, etc.
There are a lot of players who need a good humbling/kick in the ego-nuts and have needed one for years. Goes for stars and scrubs. Frankly we’ve lost all accountability and our way now as a result.
Right and we haven't done s*** in the playoffs since 2018.

Right and Joe Thornton put up 82pts in 82 games at age 36.He scored in the cbus series.
Sid has 90 pts as a 35 year old.
Sid has 90 pts as a 35 year old.
I know. Which is f***ing amazing and a testament to how great he still is!!
Which brings me back to my earlier point.
If we only had better coaching. If we had gotten it beforehand I.E. last summer then you can’t tell me that Sid wouldn’t have beasted his ass or even just played with more joy to his game this season.
How many games have he and Geno just flat out not given a f*** about from the opening puck drop over the past few years?? Quite a few, not that we can fully blame them though.
if I still had to listen to Sully’s clueless “sticktoitiveness” bullshit after 5 years of playoff blunderf***s, I’d check out mentally a lot too…
He’s lost the room and needs to go.
A better coach would also treat Malkin's line with more respect I think. Also not use the bottom 6 and youth like a f***ing imbecile.
Funniest shit to me is this moron Danton Heinen getting games.
63 games and he's at 21pts.
Nylander and his pace would put him at 18pts in 63 games.
You'd get the same production if not more with better usage with a coach that isn't an idiot and save 250k.
Now admittedly I have only watched maybe 2 regular games over the past 3 years as Sulli-Ron has sucked the fun out of Pens hockey and has done so for years. But yeah that sounds about right. Same shit different pile for the past far too long.
Sorta reminds me kind of the Bylsma/Adams/Glass love affair before that smug-ass, bespectacled f*** got shit-canned.
Or how HCDB seemed almost scared to use a prime-era Two-Headed-Monster during quite a few big moments when we could/should’ve needed it. But he bitch out and it would bite us in the ass. I.E. losses, missed points, etc.
Bylsma had one of the biggest issues that Sullivan also has and it's what I first noticed systems wise outside of the youth bs he continues to pull.
Dan almost arrogantly felt his system was adaptable without needing to adapt, to any team any time. He refused to game plan to a team and utilize his roster properly (sound familiar?) - Funny enough I think it was the Isles series with Dan where the Pens took Kennedy out of the line up and the Isles took it to the Pens with grit and speed and he took the one winger in the bottom 6 that literally does just that. He finally relented and played him and then acted like it was normal and he planned to anyway (again, sound familiar?).
Change "grind them bitches down" to "sticktoitiveness" and it's the same f***er.
What Bylsma did to Tangradi is what Sullivan is doing to O'Connor almost exactly.
Tangradi accidentally got a few shifts with Geno this one game and looked great. Almost like a winger made to play in a top 6 role, thrived in a top 6 role briefly. Instead Disco miscast him as a powerforward that needed to grind first. Again, same bullshit being done to Doc.
It's funny how this shit has repeated itself and Sullivan got an extension out of it and has the hockey ops pres and ownership in his corner. Bylsma had Shero and ownership fired Shero for it and it made Fitzgerald leave too.
I feel like Shero deserved his firing.
JR deserved his when it was coming.
Hextall to me has made some mistakes but deserves a better chance with a coach he wants, but being forced to keep Sullivan is ensuring he will get fired no matter what. That's shitty.
