Don't see any reason to think another blowout would at all put pressure on anyone.

If it hasn't yet, I don't see any reason to think it will.
They can only keep up this "we're trying super duper hard to compete guys, honest!" facade for so long as embarrassing losses pile up and they stare down a third straight playoff miss, imo. Maybe it doesn't result in anything in-season but if the fans start booing and chanting to have Sullivan and/or Dubas fired, I think ownership's gotta eventually take notice and make changes.

As Kyle Dubas once said, "we can and we will".

I mean, it's absolutely certain nothing will change if they keep hobbling around showing signs of life every couple of games, so I hope they just f***ing crater because that's the only way there's even a chance of anything changing. /shrug :laugh:

This seems like the type of game we're gonna win, probably dominate, maybe even be back in the wild card spot, and for a couple of hours forget how really shitty this team is.

Considering Geno has been one of the Pens best players this season, it is a head scratcher! :\

I don't even know if I want to watch tonight's upcoming debacle. Who knows...maybe we'll blow them out 7-1.

But yeah....I just wish we either rebuild, or we don't. This whole "we'll keep competitive for Crosby" the not do that. I'd rather just trade everybody if we're going to die a slow death.
It is only surprising until you realize that Geno and Mikey S have a f***ed up relationship.
:laugh: God damn, I thought I was supposed to be the pessimistic one.
who among us could be pessimistic when our vision is so clear?

You mean 8th from bottom, right? In the entire league, I mean.

Maybe a bridge too far for the Pens but I believe they can do it.

Wait, "fire Sullivan" chants? Outside of hockey's future boards, is there a groundswell of fans demanding that the coach get fired???

I could see them turning on Dubas pretty quickly here, but the Massachusetts Messiah?

I thought people were saying there was a smattering of "Fire Sully" and "Fire Dubas" chants during the Dallas game.

I've been on the phone for 2 hours trying to deal with an issue with my cell and this has been more enjoyable than your average period of Penguins hockey under Sullivan.

Interesting. Shocking, too.

fwiw /shrug
