Post-Game Talk: Senators 6, Penguins 4 - IT'S OVAH!

[Tom Hanks]

3 game winning streak starting Monday.

Which Monday?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

You know what. Here's the thing that maybe frustrates me as much as anything: Sprong has taken 1 full shift all year with Geno. In Vancouver. You know what happened. The Pens played a few crap games with him in the lineup after that one. Obviously, you saw what happened tonight.

And, since that great shift in Vancouver, Sprong has taken 0 shifts with Geno.

That's not about Sprong being the end all and be all. He may be a bust for all I know and frankly care. BUT, this team is in the crapper. And, you can't find 1 shift for Sprong with Geno, to see maybe if there was something to that shift in Vancouver?

Right there . . . that 100% for me is everything that is wrong with Sully. NOT his treatment of Sprong. His refusal to do what might work again because he doesn't like it . . . an arrogance that accepts losing IF he's doing it his way.

Very Bylsma like

+10:18-Sprong

+Starkey

 

[larueskee]

Lots of defensemen with minuses tonight. So Sully did not like Cole huh?

 

[EightyOne]

Which Monday?

I would have given you so much props if you changed the date to when Johnston was fired...hahahahaha.

 

[Coastal Kev]

From what I watched, him and Simon were good tonight. The 10:18 makes me happy

Would be nice to see him with an above the line Center for a game. I'll even take a game with Brass at this point, that actually could work.

Jake may need to be moved. Might work well for both teams if the right trade is made.

Well, he talked to the media too openly. That hurts a team's chances of winning.

 

[Ryder71]

As I said during the game, Maatta on the PP is dressing Wilson level dumb.

Sully's been making inane decisions dating back to last season. We should be use to this level of stubbornness and ineptitude. Remember he's the boss! For better or worse. And no player will get the better of him!

 

[chethejet]

Never thought this team would play at this level with cups and pride. But the sad facts are GMJR has to act to right the ship. Some bodies over board and move on. A threat is only a threat unless it is realized.

I can only copy and paste what’s out there.

Gee, if only there were a center Sprong played a grand total of 1 shift with this season where that shift was successful and showed you the promise Sprong offers.

 

[WayneSid9987]

So... what now?

I honestly don't know.
Guess i'll just hope for small things atm with Riiko in for Olli, CDS starting in net, and Sid back.

In terms of the trade front:
I imagine interest in Sprong picks up but other GM's are probably throwing JR anvils atm.
I also imagine the interest in Olli is next to nil atm.
Probably some interest in Rig, Rust, Brassard and maybe a Ruhwedel?
Maybe someone values Sheahan?
All i got.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The sad part is that I have no more confidence in JR being the guy that can right this ship. He's a guy that seems to be obsessed with skilled players like Alex Semin and retreads that he has won cups with. You won't win anything with having nothing but pure skilled players and past good players for you.

Lol at trading Jake. Why would the team move him for anything other than a stupid trade by the other GM? Let's play Sprong more in hopes of getting him going, but trade Jake because he's played inconsistent for 18 games?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lol, you guys still blaming players or finally willing to admit the coaching is shit?

Let's not pretend that JR didn't assemble this **** roster.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Which Monday?

When Quenneville is coach.

 

[Taluss]

Not ready to give up yet on this team. Still time to turn it around and I think they can.

Of course they can, it’s the damn Pens I don’t think it’s possible to give up on them. All teams have shit droughts, sucks but I wouldn’t worry.

As @12IsGreaterThan47, the stupidity started last year with Sully, and this year he's been 'doubling down on dumb'.

Brass looks like he needs a few more games..or weeks...he didn’t look healthy

 

[Shady Machine]

Players but sure coaching might be part of it. Honestly, I don't think any of us know what the hell is going on. Too many passengers though.

 

[Laura Palmer]

letang not intimidated by the concept of time

 

[DegenX]

Which Monday?

It was the flux capacitor all along!

 

[Ugene Magic]

This is basically the Pens in a nutshell.

Yes... Come to the darkside.

No, trade Guentzel because he's already showing effort problems, you can get someone less 1-dimensional than him and you save yourself from a bloated contract extension.

No one like Guentzel should be off the table in terms of a trade. If this is the Guentzel they're going to get moving forward, that's going to be a big problem for $5+ million.
