GDT: #43 | Ducks at Penguins | 7:00 PM | The one where Pixies watches this team and knows more than all of you.

The entire top line looks like shit. Sid looks as bad as any of them.

Malkin I thought actually looked quite good that period, but it's just not enough. Not nearly enough.

GCRakell

Giving Sid Zucker makes way too much sense tbh.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

If you want this team to have a shot at making the playoffs, you have to hope something happens where Rust is taken off the first line. You pretty much have to root for losses for that because of this coaches insanity.

We had two fairly decent losing streaks and Sully kept going back to GC-Rust or GC-Rakell.

You can keep hoping with the rest of us, but it's not happening, it'll always be an option with this coach.

 

[Pem]

Who’s our next Kessel?

We don't have a second layer of anything at this time.

 

[The GM]

I f***ing hate seeing Ruhwedel on this blueline, it's always infuriated me. No team hangs on to a marginal 7th-8th defenseman this long, but this coach gets what he wants.

Mears is the Ruhwedel of pbp analysts.

Watching ruh is almost making me miss Zach trotman

 

[Honour Over Glory]

They have to have something to say when we lose…you know it won’t be anything about how bad certain players or coaches are lol, so it’ll have to be that ANA is actually good, despite their record lol

I'd have more respect for those two tits if they said something like "The Ducks have potential to be good but right now they aren't and the way the Penguins are playing a bottom 5 team is something they need to get better at."

 

[metalan2]

If we lose, is there pressure on Sully?

 

[PaulD]

I know the Ducks stink .....but I would bet on them to beat Sullivan's Penguins in a play off series as is stands today.

 

[The GM]

If we lose, is there pressure on Sully?

No

 

[canadianguy77]

GCRust is just...how the f*** do you see analytics and stats and still keep doing it?

I think the coach might be mentally ill. He’s extremely delusional about that line and how successful it is. 4 wins in 14 games when Rust starts in L1. All against trash teams.

 

[Ugene Magic]

We really need Mears to start drinking so we have some entertainment...

Naw he's safe until hell freezes over.

The only pressure that man has is whether to get the 46 or 48 ft boat when his extension and raise kicks in next year.

He doesn't look at recent usage and analytics in regards to it, he just goes overall history of the usage of GCR and thinks that's the method. When really, GCR has been brutal defensively and their metrics back it the f*** up.

The only pressure Sullivan feels on the bench is when he's had too many bowls of Bran flakes that morning.

 

[PaulD]

Net Flicks calling. Can't justify to the wife Ducks Pens.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen

GCR has fantastic expected analytics which is why expected analytics are bullshit.

 

[Pem]

Pens media will just post fluff pieces about how Sullivan drinks his beer like a champ and wipes his ass like a legend or some shit.

Just listen to the commentators. They act like everything is great.

At least you can't accuse them of not being consistent.

Unfortunately, in this case they've been consistently bad defensively.

Consistently inconsistent.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Man, it's a super fine line when you play a really bad team at hockey... huh...

 

[PaulD]

Love it

 

[reino]

Malkin's skating looks great, but his shots are like muffins nowadays. Very baffling because legs are first to go

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Rangers dominating the BJ's. Up 2-0, tripling them in shots. They played yesterday.
That's the difference between our teams.

His slapshot is solid still, but his wrist/snap shots have been on the weak side for years imo.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lol outshot by the Ducks.

Rangers lost to the Ducks this year lol

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Caps playing Isles. Literally impossible for them to both win.
