Post-Game Talk: Game #3 Pens vs Leafs

[HandshakeLine]

Petterson forgot how to skat this season. I don't know what it is about these Saturday night games against the Leafs but Sid always seems to have sub par games.

Hey now, he is going to develop all the young defensemen (who are not on this team).

I like the Pens playing the long game. Eventually these Pettersson/Gryz 60 foot slappers will put holes in goalies chests and the goals will pile up.

Oh my god, this name and this avatar with these kinds of comments.

I’m here for this meme all season long.

Before that, he was playing with Connor McDavid and barely cracked a 40 point pace.

I like Puljujarvi but saying he's the "most talented wing" on this team is just insanely dumb. His best season ever is 36 points in 65 games where he was playing with McDavid and got notable PP production. If that is the "most talented wing" on your team, your team sucks dong.

He got some time with McDavid but played mainly in lower lines. In 2020-2021 he scored 15 goals in 55 games with very little PP time. His ES goals/60 was the 2nd highest of the team and his goals/60 was the 3rd highest. The first part of the following season was even better, but the other part the opposite. Of course optimally you have a winger that's produced higher totals, not denying that, but just adding that when healthy Puljujarvi may be a solid top9 option.

Played a good team that’s supposed to compete for a cup in their home opener. I thought we played well given the circumstances.

Lol…just come out and say you and your team were ass…

The 2nd oldest team in the league is not a work in progress, it's the finished product. Obtaining bottom 6 players to play in the bottom 6, is not a revolutionary process. Obtaining a bottom 6 player and playing them on the first line is arrogantly saying you are smarter than everyone else and smiling while having broccoli between your teeth.

I am not a Sullivan hater, I believe he is a good coach, I also believe his time here is done and it would be beneficial to both parties to move on. Both need a new outlook.
