Was cool to see the Oilers fire their Mike Sullivan, but when Mario sold the team to a Boston conglomerate... Well, winning suddenly wasn't as important as scamming the fans like the other 2 Pittsburgh sports team's model has been. And Boston Boy Sullivan has had free reign to square peg/round hole this team until he's basically indistinguishable from Mike Tomlin (who has not won a playoff game since 2016, and never will again, but newly extended contract). God, it's incredible how people gush over these loser coaches... And these loser GMs..... I don't even know who's the worst GM in Pittsburgh, but they all are portrayed like geniuses despite no accomplishments...
Sid just tied the most points ever from a player entering the season at 36 years old, despite being on a team with a historically bad power play. He was dominant 5 on 5. It's pretty much universally agreed upon that if Crosby wasn't who he is then this year's pens would have been a bottom three team. I honestly wish Sid wouldn't sign an extension and move on. He gave this city 3 cups it didn't deserve and owes us nothing. This team is in a downward spiral and it sucks to see a top 3 player of all time spend the twilight of his carer drowning in the Bob Nutting sports-business model replica.
But ya. As for McDavid, he doesn't have the balls to win a cup. And that's fine. there is plenty of prestige and dignity in being McRegularSeason.
