Post-Game Talk: Game VI Pens loss to Stars: Our Stars can’t dance

[NeedleInTheHay]

If your team is "set back for 6 years" for paying a middle pair D middle pair money, that just says your team wasn't good to begin with.

Exactly it wasn’t, so you don’t mess up your cap sheet 4-5 years down the road for mid players.

Also f*** Rakell right now. After all the bitching that was done about Bryan Rust last year I don't want to see Rakell getting a pass with 1 point in 6 games. Just dreadful. He needs to pick it up in a big way.

Especially with as good as his linemates have been. Rakell is a total passenger right now.

Just wanted to pop in and say really enjoyed the penguins new broadcast crew, they were excellent

You could easily make a case that Rak should be demoted to the 3rd line. The issue becomes: who replaces him?

Well Sullivan put Zohorna up there last night…if he stays with the aggressive forecheck and is first on the forecheck that could be a solution…

They can fire Sullivan Yesterday It doesn't matter to me ! still not going to make the Pens SC Contenders or the stars 25 again

No one is expecting that. We're hoping/expecting it to improve the rest of the team, the stars are fine right now.

Sure Sid is in a lul, but i'm not concerned over a top 5 all time player. I'm concerned about a bonehead coach and how he is steering this team

The only good thing about this season is it's starting to look a lot like 2008-09 and 2015-16

Rakell's an example of what I meant in another post where I talk about how players who show promise when they first arrive either stagnate or get worse the longer Sullivan has them.

When's the last player who we acquired that actually improved under Sullivan? At best, they stagnate. But most seem to go from "promise" to "what the f*** happened?"

And?

Surely Sully can’t survive a 3rd GM right? Right?

He'll be the 4th GM after he gets Kyle fired.

It is so f***ing wild. Hell, EK is gonna look like Ruhwedel by the end of December.

I also love how we continually mismanage the cap. It's great. Just grab all the trash on the waiver wire but don't scratch anyone, goalies will just have to play through injury because we need to make room for 9 depth blueliners who are all the same.

Honestly the last person you can say that about is Schultz. And by the time he left, he was regressing
