I realized something on here..
Some people on here have very blind eyes with loyalty on here. Big blinders.. You don’t trade players like Malkin and Keesel to accommodate a short shelf life coach
He doesn’t get blame on anything. He’s above criticism and very infallible ... I love the friendliness and chill discussion. it’s like people can’t have their own real reality of Sullivan in their faces..
I get it . You appreciate Mike Sullivan to help them achieve B2B stanley cups with hungry, next man up mentality, great goaltending , great leadership from Sid and Geno..
Mike Sullivan has been very poor for the past two seasons.. what have you done lately? He makes questionable and bone headed decisions over the last three seasons etc..
This isn’t about the past with B2b stanley cups..
Very much the present.
Pens needs new coaching because coaches around here seems to get comfortable after accomplishment, don’t adjust,one dimensional system, ego/favoritism with players, put players place wrong places to succeed and often let the players take the blame
He has been underperforming for a longtime and with issues with players.
Their usages etc..
You want to wasted Sid and Geno more great years to come.. They were already wasted in their younger years..
Every player Sullivan doesn’t like / can’t adjust right in line up due to brutal line combos shouldn’t be traded out of town..
Mike Sullivan on many occasions has forced Rutherford’s hand..
Kessel and Malkin shouldn’t go...
Kessel and Malkin are part of the core, IMO
Kessel should stay til his contract ends.. Quite frankly he give Penguins something unique and one of their best top right wingers that’s a weapon teams can’t handle..
Malkin and Kessel Isn’t the issue here..
This isn’t a Malkin slump.. this Malkin tired of Mike Sullivan and his system is poor with messages..
Rutherford shouldn’t be trading guys that he doesn’t like ..
Nhl coaches come and go..
Mike Sullivan time is up..
He did his very , very good job here two seasons ago with Rick Tocchet..( B2b cups/change the culture )
Penguins are winning 1-3 games then lose a lot critical games for much needed points for playoffs this season that can rest core guys at the end of seasson for playoffs . A lot of lingering issues around Sullivan has been there last season..
Sullivan is one of Pens biggest problems..
It’s over.. he lost pens players long time ago..
