It’s a sign…we need to change owners…+ missed the game
+ missed the game because I was at a concert in London where a dude was inexplicably wearing a Lemieux jersey. I can’t stress how little I expected to see a Mario Lemieux jersey today
These issues have been there for years now. I'm not sure the ship can be turned around at this point. Not without a new coach.I think the plan going forward should be to iron out the defensive issues and build out from that. We’re actually scoring, we’re getting offense from everywhere. If our offense takes a hit for a bit so what. You can loosen the reins later.
Just practice coverage without the puck and where everyone should be immediately after we reclaim it: those are the biggest bugaboos.
How the defensive pairings consistently give the puck up to a lone forechecker around our goal line is almost impressive.These issues have been there for years now. I'm not sure the ship can be turned around at this point. Not without a new coach.
Probably but I feel like we’re playing worse now than we did late last year, despite being at least slightly better on paper.These issues have been there for years now. I'm not sure the ship can be turned around at this point. Not without a new coach.
Yup. We're like Top 3 in High % giveaways (for two years) and we play shit defense like this and blame our goalies.These issues have been there for years now. I'm not sure the ship can be turned around at this point. Not without a new coach.
Just wanted to add to this again for Joel.You may or may not be right but I'm pretty sure Management and Coaches are still trying to make the playoffs. And I think we all agree that they're not gonna get there with poor goaltending. That's why I asked if they'd consider keeping Blomqvist around.
Love it. If a player did the same to the Pens, we'd have Pens fans at games doing the same. It's fun.At least the "Where's Rutger?" chant was funny.
Mike Sullivan is good at forming sentences.Coach Sullivan: "From an effort standpoint, I thought our team played really hard. I think we've got to play a little smarter. And that's on all of us to try to cure some of those areas."
That's pretty much the issue. These defensive breakdowns/inability to cover anyone/run around like they have no clue have been present for YEARS. It's not something that can be ironed out because it's SULLIVAN that's the issue.These issues have been there for years now. I'm not sure the ship can be turned around at this point.
