It was Sullivan who told Crosby to shoot straight into goalie's pads, Malkin to fumble a breakaway, Kessel to fan on the puck, and all of them - to take stupid penalties instead of scoring.

True story.

I'm thinking you may not understand the role of the coach, especially if you're going by one game. Your argument seems to be that it's solely the player's responsibility to make sure the team wins, so then why even have a coach?!

Glad to see the Pens are still getting clowned by guys like Michael Haley. Thank God JR wised up and thought it was a swell idea to have Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin as the muscle for the team.

At least I wised up and have only watched a handful of games this year.

I don’t know why I even should articulate this, but a coach has 0 influence on how players execute, finish their chances or on their discipline.

You know it’s so funny: when I said in 2010-15 that Bylsma had to go, people said to me that “he didn’t instruct Letang and Malkin to turn the puck over at the blue line, it’s all on them”.

Role reversal, go figure.

Did you copy and paste this post from a defense of Dan Bylsma?

Don't go calling him my boy. I've been pretty clear in real time about what I think of the last 18 months of his work and the lack of proactiveness on his part.

I was being facetious...duh
