I think Sid is doing this on purpose tonight

 

[Honour Over Glory]

A horrendous W/L record. We’re not there yet.

The f*** was last two seasons with no playoffs? Sid And Geno playing all 82 as well.

 

[Gurglesons]

Sid is a total f***ing mess.

 

[canadianguy77]

Yea, do you think like a 5 and 10 start would do it?

Maybe they reevaluate if we’re 10 games under .500?

 

[Andy99]

Hey our boys got their milestones…that’s all we can expect…Sid and G are probably done playing hard for the points the rest of the season lol

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Why would you pull the goalie Canes broadcast, being dominated this thoroughly, that is absolutely pointless.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Every time I think of the Pens trading Guentzel but keeping Rust:

 

[Darren McCord]

I think this is a massive hindsight review for Erod on L1.

I specifically remember me arguing "Guentzel and Crosby should be a successful line even with ERod at RW" when everyone was saying the 1st line was failing due to ERod.

Erod wasn’t good enough but he had a pulse.
Beau is just there. Erod has way more individual drive than beau. The argument was Erod was better in a depth role because he carried the puck and did to much.

Erod issue was that he would do to much try to hard and disrupt the line. He was still a much better player.

Beau does jack and barely looks like he is hustling at times. He looks like he’s a vet who doesn’t have to try

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Sid is a total f***ing mess.

Imagine being a first ballot hall of famer and playing with an AHLer. It's gotta sap it outta ya. And then there's Beauvillier.

(jk jk Rust is a good NHLer)

 

[Coastal Kev]

I guy like IMANA would offer Sid much more help than Beaver. It would never happen, but I believe that to be so. At least he would provide jam.. and that's something.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I didn't expect Beau to be very good.

I do expect Rust to be good. He's looked checked out all season.

Because he isn't the right fit for Sid like Rakell is and Raks on that line actually helps both a ton. But no we need Beauvillier for 6 f***ing games being a useless tit with insane usage that so many others wish they'd get and have deserved it and never got it.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Amazing that such a well coached team could give up 5300 odd man breaks a game.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I feel like this season has just confirmed what we know about this team: they can't hang with the big boys, beat up on bad teams and are competitive with mediocre teams. Hence why they're a mediocre team.

Erod wasn’t good enough but he had a pulse.
Beau is just there. Erod has way more individual drive than beau. The argument was Erod was better in a depth role because he carried the puck and did to much.

Eh like I said, I think this is a bigtime revisionist view of ERod on L1. I don't know why I remember this, but people were downright heated and angry about him playing RW with Crosby and Guentzel. I actually think people were angrier about ERod ruining L1 than they were about Beauvillier on L1.

I'm not saying your thoughts on Beauvillier are wrong, it's just that I think people hated ERod very similarly (and arguably even more) than Beavuillier in that spot. I wouldn't even remotely bet on Beauviller having that bounceback that ERod had, though.

I think Sid is doing this on purpose tonight

Could be. I don’t think he likes playing with Beau but somehow everyone on here thinks he’s insisting on it. I haven’t seen any proof of that but it wouldn’t be the first time this board pretends to know what he demands.

 

[metalan2]

Maybe they reevaluate if we’re 10 games under .500?

That's seriously hard to do in the NHL.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Sid for the most part of these 6 games looks like he's being coached by MJ again.

 

[metalan2]

He is.

 

[Gurglesons]

Sid for the most part of these 6 games looks like he's being coached by MJ again.

I thought the narrative was Sid loved Sully tho.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Carolina is really good. We aren't.

It would be awesome if we could become a Carolina-esque team in the next 5 years or so.

 

[vodeni]

He looks exactly like those dozen games after Jake’s trade. Look at that PP, he did not want to skate. He got puck and just pass it to a Cane, he is pouting for whatever reason

 

[Gurglesons]

Y’all wondered why I said Bunting was a cap dump…..

 

[Andy99]

Speaking of awful to start the season…

[Dipsy Doodle]

No Rupp. You do not need to give Jarry the ball again. Ever.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

The Pens have SOME pieces for a future team (or players than can be traded for futures).

 

[canadianguy77]

He has the skills of a beer-leaguer. If you can’t possess the puck long enough for him to get to the front of the net, he’s completely useless.
