GDT: Game 1 - Penguins vs Rangers - 7:30 PM - All My Happiness is Gone

[CheckingLineCenter]

"The Pens power play has made some tweaks."

Have they?

You are missing the bigger issue where they think it only needed “tweaks”

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I honestly would rather have a busted Alex Goligoski than Grzzlzlzllicks.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

He’s married to the same guys in the top 6. He’ll outright refuse to try Glass or McGroarty because they don’t have enough games in the league.

Glass is nothing close to a top-six level player.

 

[Pancakes]

We looked good for like six minutes and then the Pens remembered who they are and the Rangers remembered who they are.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I’m shocked the 11th best LW in the game has been a complete non factor tonight…

Yeah no. He’s been their best F (or Malkin)

Just needed to bury that was what I was saying

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

You know what I just realized, Sullivan 100% chose Quinn as his assistant and this powerplay looking ass will still be Quinn’s fault and Sullivan won’t get any heat for it somehow.

I think Rierden-Quinn is Sullivan’s last chance. If the PP and defense still sucks, there’s no way ownership or Dubas can look at Sullivan and think nothing needs to change.

That said, I’m hoping Quinn makes a difference.

You had me at Rutger then lost all of us at Glass, wtf? Glass is where he belongs on the 4th line.

I’d have bumped up Rutger or Puljujarvi and dropped down one of Doc or Beau by now. Leave Geno’s line alone. The fact that Sullivan is already f***ing with that just shows how little of any idea he has left to spark anything and has for years.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

No way in hell the Pens are able to sell more than 5k tickets a game if this shitshow continues.

 

[The Old Master]

I don’t understand reffing the score, regardless.

understanding is optional.... you just need to accept it.

 

[Sublimity]

McG already on the 4th? Sick.

 

[canadianguy77]

Glass is nothing close to a top-six level player.

Neither was Pascal Dupuis. But sometimes the combination makes the line. But he’ll never try anyone new so well never know.

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

I will not.

 

[Coastal Kev]

If' you're not elite talent any longer, must we be blah? Get 2/3 tough forwards, get a couple of tough D.... Throw a check or two and see what happens.

Sully hockey is a snoozefest.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Is turning the puck over in their own zone several times on the PK also Jarry’s fault?

Ned bailed them out countless times.....Jarry doesn't

It’s funny to take Puustinen out of the line-up when he could actually help them on the powerplay and you know, offense. But thank god Anthony Beauvillier didn’t have to really try to get the preferrential veteran treatment from Sullivan without earning it.

Naw Sully will just get new guys. The team does not wanna lose him, they are going to sink with him until the bitter end.

 

[molon labe]

Is this really an $80M roster? I guess....75 without Rust?

Utah looked better last night. No exaggeration.

(And for those that didn't catch the game - Florida is a damned monster. Playoff form didn't leave them)

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I wouldn't sat Matt Grzelcyk, I would say Matt Grzeeats.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

You have convinced yourself of this so there’s no point arguing it.

Bennett was such a monster yesterday. The Panthers are so fun to watch

 

[Honour Over Glory]

LMAO THE TWO HEADED MONSTER…That’s all you’ve got Sullivan?

LOL

 

[The Old Master]

I will not.

 

[WickedWrister]

McG already on the 4th? Sick.

No? He's out there with Eller and Jesse

I agree.

I don't expect Sullivan to be fired during the season unless there is an open revolt by the core.

If they look inept, though, I would expect him to be fired next summer.

Utah is so much fun to watch as well, I mocked that coach but seeing how much he’s tweaked the system this season, he reminds me of Bednar as a coach.
