    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

The Ducks beat Boston tonight in Anaheim. The Bruins are in a downward spiral and their head coach only has the "interim" label on him. Do the Bruins try to get permission from Dubas to try and hire Mike Sullivan as coach next season? I think next season is the last for Sullivan current contract with the penguins.

Jim Montgomery was the issue in Boston according to their fans…. While he has the Blues fighting for a PO spot

And please Boston bring your son home for part deux

I mentioned it in another thread, but goaltending (per usual) is sinking their chances of winning games. They're not going to climb the standings unless they make a change in the crease.

Even the friggen Flyers realized they need to ditch an idiot coach in under 3 years.

I actually don't assign as much blame to Torts as others might considering what he did last season. Their team is just straight up trash outside of one young Russian that they lucked into getting and their outlook is very bleak for the next several years I'd say. Torts just gave up on them and it delights me to see it :D

Gonna be a real bummer if the Caps win the Cup

I hope they do. They let their coach go, hired new blood for coach, retooled and mixed in youth. They did everything the Penguins didn’t think they needed to do to win again and it’s f*** you to the Pens.

FSG would feel like shit. It’d be perfect.

With our f***ing luck, the Pens will let Vellucci go and hire Torts. Absolute vomit inducing.

Right
While I enjoy nothing more to see Torts suffer, the alternative is they hire an actual qualified coach.

The issue is there's a bunch of very good up and coming coaches and the Penguins will keep missing out on them because of some incredible bullshit Sullivan apparently does which is really, absolutely nothing. He’s still propped up on his first 3-4 seasons where he won back to back cups and gained a lot of wins for a record that means jack shit since the cups.

It’s been hilarious to see countless teams retool and get back to being on track quicker than the penguins and the common theme is 100% a coaching change that leads to that resurgence. Flyers will bounce back faster than the Pens and will likely be better in the long run here on out. They will finally hire a coach that won’t f*** over Michkov and they’ll draft and use more talent than the Pens will, why?

Because Sullivan is some glorious yank wanker that has loads of wins and won back to back as the only yank to do it almost a decade ago and hasn’t won more than 1 round in the last 8-9 seasons. Gotta stick by the loyalty.

Which remember, it sunk Shero for keeping Disco too long. Sullivan has already sunk 2 Gm’s, assistant coaches and other execs.

That is a shit show. We really have no basis to mock any other franchise because we’re that joke of a franchise mate. The Penguins are the joke.

Brière fired Torts after an issue with York and the losing. The pens doubled down on Sullivan after issues with Cole, Kessel, Geno…and lots of losing. A team we despise has more of a back bone than this team does.

Yohe's already working on an article about how logistically Sullivan scratched his ass this morning

Yohe would probably write about how Dubas has sabotaged the legacy of Sullivan and that Ron Hextall was the reason 9/11 happened and possibly even Covid. Yohe is the type of piece of shit that only has a loving relationship with a fleshlight in his life that he shares with his fellow Pens The Athletic writers, like that episode in Blue Mountain State

Two things, first I did not see or hear about this until I listen to the 32 thoughts podcast this morning and I am floored by how awesome this was. Ovechkin is a living legend, I don't care if you don't like him or his team he is still an all-time great that commands immense respect.

Second, during the same podcast they talked about the immense respect that all players on Canada developed for Sid after being around him for a week and a half or so at 4 Nations. Like literally he has a cult following now among Canadian hockey players because of his pure awesomeness in everything he does.

I know this era will end but guys like 87, 71, 29, and 8 have made my early to mid adulthood hockey experience one I will always look back on fondly. My childhood hockey experience was defined by 66, 99, 33, 68, etc and I never thought it could be better but it has been and I'm not sure it will ever be better in the future.
