Post-Game Talk: The Pens play the exact same game again and wonder why they lose

[ColePens]

Let's talk positives first:

++ The bottom 6 ISN"T bad. I think that's a really good thing and puts us in a better situation than 2015.

++ POJ and Marino will be good for years to come. Yes... Marino is STRUGGLING right now as a young man learning the ropes of a top dman. But you see the skillset is there. POJ will go through the same growing pains but you can see it's there. This ain't like watching Pouliot just knowing it wasn't going to work. These are legit guys.



And back to the negatives:

---- I'll stand by this and fought everyone. Defense awareness is the #1 priority. We have even numbers. Guys just stare and watch the play. No head on a swivel. Nothing. It's not like we have odd numbers against. We have even numbers. We duplicate coverage or f***ing just miss a cut.

--- Stars/Powerplay: It's not worth me going into it. These guys are getting what they deserve. They are playing like dog shit.



I mean look, whether Sully is a fantastic coach or not, the players have stopped playing for him. It's time to move on.

Oh and O'Connor, to me, is a legit NHLer.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

boooooo

 

[reino]

holy f*** they look bad.

 

[sovietsanta87]

27 is actually Josh Fogg

 

[Beauner]

Fire Sullivan

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Relieve Sully. Hire Gallant. He has to inherit the assistants but he can bring in a 3rd of his own if he likes.

This. I've been on the GG hype train since last season.

 

[Bingo71]

This was the game I expected on Tuesday and will be the outcome more often than not if something doesn’t change.

It’s a f***ing rudderless ship right now, heading for an iceberg and Sully isn’t even attempting to rearrange the deck chairs...

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Jarry not even making eye contact with his team, cant say I don't blame him.

 

[66-30-33]

Wake me when September ends.

 

[Hobodrifter]

Jarry not even making eye contact with his team, cant say I don't blame him.

Noticed that. He looked really pissed

 

[Gold Diamond]

****ing sucks!

 

[BHD]

Oh and O'Connor, to me, is a legit NHLer.

Agree. Him and POJ have looked decent, all things considered,

 

[Ugene Magic]

+ I'm checking out for a game or 2.

 

[TySmith4Norris]

Defense and goaltending playing within expectations considering all of the injuries

The forwards? Not so much

At some point that has to be on the coaching staff, have not seen Crosby/Malkin play this poorly in a long time

Do they even play a system? For 75% of the game you couldn’t tell

+POJ

 

[canadianguy77]

Zucker in the last few minutes 1 on 1 and he elects to shoot from 30 feet out rather than make a move and try to get in closer. The Bruins don’t do that. They make the move and sometimes it works. Look at Marchand vs Letang the other night.

There are many reasons for this and most of them have to do with coaching.

 

[turd]

It’s hard to be mad for me. Disappointed, sure. But they’re just not a good team. They’re soft as baby shit, have very few difference makers, and the ones they do have are playing some of the worst hockey I’ve ever seen them play. Their structure is just nonexistent. Not getting good goaltending. They’re just an absolute mess.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Noticed that. He looked really pissed

Getting lit up because your team sucks and refuses to play D is really f***ing upsetting.

 

[ColePens]

God help me when they fire Sully but hire Babcock like absolute FOOLS

 

[ChaosAgent]

Had a bad day at work.

Was repaid by this miserable, wretched squad for whom everything is impossible and concedes quality chance like...I don't know. Something cheap. Metaphor metaphor.

87, 71 and 58. You've been great for us but as a fan I'd rather not deal with 5 years of this. If this isn't on Sully, please ask out so we can start over.

Sully. Leave.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

The guy is a certified f***ing idiot. And annoying as hell to listen to. I hope he spends the next 20 years overprnouncing "stud-ni-ka" and "koo-rah-lee" and watching the Bruins win the square root of f*** all.

It's a Slavic last name. That's how you pronounce Kuraly. Well, except the way he pronounces the last syllable.

Studnika should be "stewd-knee-ka"

Not defending Edwards though. I hate him as much as anyone.

 

[Woodrow]

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

If I never, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever see or hear the name "Kevin Czuczman" again I'll be happier then a pig in shit.

 

[ownal]

Get another PPP loan and fire Sullivan!

 

[Bowski]

Great response to your GM quitting on you as a team.
Lovely .800 SV% for Jarry, awesome sleepwalking by our main man Geno, and the captain of this sinking ship is MIA once again.

Alvin and his new chipmunks...
