Coaching, apparently, can never fail. It can only be failed.

A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of [coaches bearing any sort of responsibility]. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.

zuc has played well with sid. jake has looked great with geno. sid did great playing with a good 3rd line wing that could skate fast and had a good shot=kappy seems to fit that type of player. and rust has played well with geno give it a try.

I don't hate the idea of giving Zucker-Crosby-Kapanen a try, but on what basis do you say that Zucker and Crosby played well together?

Last game thread was closed before I could respond to @The Old Master suggesting that Malkin is moved to the wing.

.... which is probably for the better...
Byegones.

Archibald sucks! Tanev is awesome! Enough said and you even wanting Archibald lets me know I don't want to continue this. Archibald does not move the needle one bit on making us a better team. Suggesting trading McCann for him is criminal. Hopefully our new GM's are better at trading.

Rutherford was great at it even though some still laughably don't realize it. They talk about prospects and picks given up and in all our years of trading both over the past 15 years only two turned out and one we just got back.

When you compare that to all the guys we have added just I'm the past few years that are young in in primes such as Pettersson, Marino, POJ, and Matheson on defense and Kapanen, Zucker, and McCann on offense it is pretty obvious those picks and prospects never come close to that group.

Please read a post before you type another one out.

Haha why bother with that guy? It’s JR’s burner account.

right now the brass is watching the team play and getting a feel for what is here. It takes time to see some of the little things and interactions of players as to chemistry, fit ect. But I do think they see some isseus here is lacking needed size and grit. How they address that for this year is to me limited as to flexibility. But I just don't think with Sid and Geno not in beast mode anymore Pens need more space makers than smaller skill wingers.

Viktor Arvidsson is ice cold in Nashville. How much to get him while he is rock bottom?
