Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/MINUS: Pens need a 40 goal lead to close it out! (Pens/Bs)

[ColePens]

I could do a lot of complaining but I want to actually focus on the thing I see the most: We have absolutely NO compete level. Bouncing pucks... we lose the battle or skate right by it. Need to stop and start? Nope... Big ole loops. Can we make a 6 foot pass? No.. let's force it between 3 guys on the powerplay to see if we can get a crazy 1 timer out of nowhere. Defensive zone? We turn the puck over more.

Getting older and stronger was supposed to stop this. This is the absolute worst I've seen this team at being strong on the puck. We force passes, turn the puck over, and our goaltending is laughable.

This team looks like they need a coaching change.

Glad the Penguins gave Sullivan a multi year extension when he still had multiple years left on his current deal.

 

[SEALBound]

Just flat out unacceptable.

Jarry was absolutely putrid this game in addition to several others.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Are we f***ed yet?

 

[ChaosAgent]

---Jarry

---------Crosby.
----GCR
--Sully

How many times in NHL history has a goalie been pulled, then put back into the game, and then gotten the win?

If this isn’t the first time it’s happened it’s gotta be a short list.

 

[SomeDude]

Shades of Dave Volek. **** the RoboPenguin.

 

[ncm7772]

Second time they’ve blown a 2-goal lead in the 3rd period.

Thankfully I didn’t watch until OT.

Seems like whenever the Pens score early in a nationally televised game, they lose.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Jesus f***ing Christ this team is a f***ING EMBARRASSMENT.

Everyone on rhw PP f***ING SUCKS

f***ING LOSERS

 

[Rave7215]

So glad they extended Sully 3 more years

 

[Beau Knows]

Ridiculous

 

[mynameisnick4]

Pretty much inevitable after that bad PP.

We have compete level at times. But we can't string it together for 60 minutes, our special teams is garbage, and we're porous defensively

You can look at this team and placed a lot of issues top down.

No compete
PP Sucks
PK Sucks
Team has no structure
Wildly inconsistent

The only reason they have wins is skill to score. Coaching is non-existent

 

[Gurglesons]

Can’t wait to hear the same bullshit excuses as we’ve had for the last few years.

Fire Sullivan. This team won’t play defense for him.

 

[SomeDude]

ESPN announcer: “stunning development”
Me:

 

[ncm7772]

Also, Jarry ain’t the answer. Won’t be surprised if they let him walk.

 

[Turin]

I’m pro Sullivan usually but this is stupid. His assistants are useless and you don’t get to change the assistants twice.

 

[Human]

This team is hard to watch right now.

On a mental level it doesn’t feel like this is a professional team…

 

[TNT87]

Jarry was garbage. That 4 on 3 was embarrassing.

Same shit for years with this team.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

haha... i left work at 5-3 and told my friend they would lose by the time I got home:

Colepens said it all. The Defense is bad but our Forwards are just lazy and turn it over... .so many failed clears and straight up passes to Bruins.

We are a bad team right now.

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

Tristan Jarry sucks ass.

 

[Pancakes]

I'm starting to sour on Petry. There's no extra gear to his game, but his poise also kinda sucks for a guy who likes to slow it down. And his powerplay instincts are just as bad as Letang's, but in a different way.

I like Rutta though

 

[canadianguy77]

We probably have to trade for a legitimate top pairing guy. The guys we have aren’t going to cut it. Letang and Petry have been bad to quite bad and Dumo looks like he belongs in a league on another continent. I don’t really see a way out of this until we improve on the defensive corps.
