GDT: Game II Pens vs Caps Oct 13th 1930hrs: Friday the 13th

[Gurglesons]

He also thinks Guentzel, whose real only talent is goal scoring, should be taken off the 1st PP.

He’s settling in nicely as a Pens analyst by shutting off his brain.

Guentzel should be taken off the 1st PP.

Jarry had a decent first game. Would not surprise me to see him be a huge part of this team.

The more that I hear and see Sully doing just the dumbest **** that would even make Dan Bylsma blush, the more I think Dubas is only here because FSG just kept throwing money at him until couldn’t say no.

I don’t think he’s stupid enough to think the current (and future) state of this team and lifetime appointed coach was actually a smart career choice for him.

Dubas is here for the rebuild. This era he's simply a steward, gently guiding the team into the basement in as tolerable a way as possible.

Sullivan, for his part, likes to watch us suffer.

 

[Gurglesons]

Sullivan is a bad coach and his next gig can’t come soon enough so he gets exposed for the fraud he is.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Jarry was fine in the first game. .914. The league average is .904 these days.
The offense needs to produce more than 2 goals, especially against a doormat team. It's as simple as that.

Sullivan is a bad coach and his next gig can’t come soon enough so he gets exposed for the fraud he is.

I still chuckle whenever I remember outside fans being critical of us when we were fed up with Bylsma. "But wins! But 100 point seasons! You guys are just spoiled!" And then they saw for themselves what Bylsma did when he didn't have peak Malkin/Crosby to lift him up.

I don't think Sullivan is quite *as* bad -- I do think he's better at certain things -- but I also think you'll see a similar fall from grace where people outside of Pittsburgh are looking at his new team's results and thinking, "But Sully won a lot with the Pens?! Back to back Cups?! Why does his new team look like shit?!"

 

[BusinessGoose]

I bet the team still sucks without sullivan.

But can we just try it?

EK65 was supposed to make this shit fun. If they are feckless tonight, literally, stick a fork in the season.

Can't wait to see Sullivan do to the game of this team's next top-3/top-5 pick what Ducharme did to Caufield's game in Montreal, or what Melrose did to Stamkos' game in Tampa.

What’s funny (maybe just to me) is outside of Brind’Amour and maybe the new Caps guy, who from the Metro would you replace Sullivan with? Torts, Ruff, Lavy, Lane?

I'm not even sure I'd want to see this team coached by Brind'Amour based on how shitty the Canes are to watch, tbh.

Brind’amour ain’t a good coach.

The difference is Sullivan already sucked as a head coach and his teams had no success as an assist.

Sullivan: "We like some of the stuff Connor Bedard does with the puck, but we want him to be able to PK and dump and chase with the best 4th liners in the league before we use him in offensive situations"

I love what Connor does out there with the puck. It’s elite. But where we’ve tried to work with him is being more conscientious without the puck. We call it “stick-to-ivness”. I think there are areas where we can help him on the defensive side of things.

There was an early game last year where we beat Washington pretty good and everyone thought we were turning it around.... and we sucked. So i'm just going to watch a little for enjoyment and that's it.

Btw - ESPN+ makes everything so less enjoyable. Why the f*** is this on ESPN+ and not on tv. I hate opening apps for a game.

 

[Rossi Rat]

At the game and holy hell, did anyone who went to the Pens opener Tuesday witness absolutely insane lines to get into the arena? Got here 40 min before puck drop and may not even get in time for faceoff.

 

[Dessloch]

Pens have ONE job tonight!

Ovi usually gets 3-4 points in his 1 game of the season as he comes out fresh in the hunt for 99, SHUT him down.

Do the job on Ovi PROPERLY on the PP, key on him all the time and dont let the f*ckbag have any slam dunk goals for failing to do that as we always manage to feck up the man marking of him in the worst way possible.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Ovi 2G 1A night incoming

It sucks and so does HULU and Disney + which I may unsubscribe to here before to long. Nothing on HULU package deal with Disney +. Might just subscribe to ESPN + but it also sucks..

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

To watch…or not to watch???

Hmmm…..

 

[ColePens]

All i really watch is the penguins these days and some college football. I can basically find streams if I really need to. So i'm about to cut ties with it all.

I hate all these subscriptions where you own nothing and you just pay monthly. It is so fn annoying. I terminated all my music ones.

 

[Jobeycool]

Hmmm…..

Listen to the radios again ..

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Great. I dislike Ray Ferraro

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Did Ovechkin score from the circle yet?

 

[Shrimper]

Ovie does look haggard

 

[WickedWrister]

I'm feeling a DOC/Eller kind of night

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Ovy looks older than Jagr
