Post-Game Talk: Canes > Pens

[Sidney the Kidney]

Both Steelers fans and Penguins fans are very guilty of this on reddit. It went from everyone loving Justin Fields when Tomlin was playing him to "Justin Fields is dogshit that should be benched" as soon as Tomlin decided to go with Wilson. It's purely just defending whatever the coach does.

Is this a Pittsburgh phenomenon? What is it with your city and adoring your coaches even when they're consistently failing?

Like I've honestly never seen this in other places where the coach almost has God-status after a bit of success and a significant portion of the fanbase will defend him to the death even when he should have been let go half a decade ago.

irl i would say most people have been off the tomlin/sullivan hype train for a long time. the fact that it can be a long time shows how immune these guys are. redditors despite being very gullible and dumb get off on feeling smarter than the demographics that sour on a coach quickly and drink the terrible pgh sports media kool aid

I'm not sure why it's like this here,ctor better or for worse. Just not allowed to fire coaches.

I miss MAF.

Jarry just plain sucks shit.

Jarry is just MAF with a significantly worse team in front of him.

Lars Eller -

"There's so many things that need to be better," said Eller. "The attitude, the energy, the execution... we put ourselves in bad spots all the time. I hope we won't see another game like this."

"I think we did it to ourselves," said Eller. "I think our lack of energy, will, winning pucks, execution was all missing today."

Not sure how all of this isn't seem as a coaching issue.
