Post-Game Talk: Jets vs Pens, shot down in flames

[Rudy Russo]

Damm. Robert Morris scored with five seconds on the road against North Dakota tonight to tie the game 3 to 3.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I also have a feeling someone's gonna make a reach pick with McQueen, and I feel like that dude's bait, so maybe someone like Martone, Misa, Hagens or Schaefer drops. But with the way this team's looking, they probably don't need anybody to drop.

Another Sully classic to add to the archives.

Another Sully classic to add to the archives.

When you watch these games, it’s unbelievable that he has the gall to sit down for articles with Yohe and defend his coaching…the arrogance

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

It sucks that we have the worst media for the Pens and these morons have influence on fans and they push the wrong narratives.

We should be hearing Fire Sully chants.

What a bunch of f***ing morons. A lot of this fan base deserves Sullivan to the full extent of his contract.

I'd start a fire Sully chant. But I'm also planning on not buying a ticket until he is, so...

 

[metalan2]

League worst goal differential.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

On the one hand, I get pissed at the NHL for putting so many Pens games on NHLN for those fans that only have ESPN+, MAX and TNT. On the other hand, I get to miss a lot of Pens games. I don’t know how to feel.

 

[Gurglesons]

Piss poor effort.

Piss poor coaching.

Piss poor management.

 

[SomeDude]

Is it time for the draft lottery yet?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Honestly I'm completely checked out on this team at this point. I just stick around to kill time with you fools and laugh at the absurdity of this organization's adoration of Mike "I suck as a coach" Sullivan.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

- - - Big minus to Malkin lately. -11, 8 PIMs over the last 6 games. Ridiculous turnover today that cost them early. 3 shots in the last 4 games. Shit defense in the OT vs Detroit.
A coach with guts would demote him to L3 and slash his minutes for a game or two until he's ready to try again.
I'm tired of players being untouchables.

+ Jarry back-to-back .900+'s. Hopefully he's turning a corner.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Glad I chose not to watch this one.

Same old garbage year in year out.

Embarrassing

 

[HandshakeLine]

Remember when people were like "Don't fire the coach! This team would be even worse without Sully!"? That was 4 months ago.

„I’ve got so much respect for Sid. It’s tough to see what he’s going through here. But at the end of the day, we’ve got a job to do and we got it done.”

When your 40 year old captain is the only player on the entire team that shows any heart, and has to fight someone that cheap shotted him, you're a complete joke of an organization. I rarely watch this shit show, and I'll continue not watching until they get rid of this douche nugget coach

 

[eXile3]

Can’t create offense without Sid and Geno on the same line.

Why even have Pono and Poulin up to play them 10 minutes a game?

It’s the lack of pride thing that has me not watching games these days. Most of these guys know they won’t be in the NHL longer so they play coward hockey the way Sully likes so they can bank as many of the good checks as they can before it’s off to the minors or post hockey life.

Meanwhile Matt Nieto out here clocking 15 mins TOI.

I find it very hard to care about this franchise nowadays as well. Haven’t cared much since the pandemic quite frankly and it’s only gotten worse.

Sure doesn’t feel like the same team I fell in love with watching as a young lad back in ‘93

No heart. No real on-ice identity anymore. No hunger. No drive. No real likeable players.

Just “Sullivan hockey”

Hell they can’t even play a full 60 minutes. Nevermind a full 60, consecutive games in a row.

 

[Merc29]

The good news is that this is the first time in years, decades even, that this team really isn’t effecting my emotions. I refuse to let it happen. every single day this teams has Sullivan being the bench is another day I say they are doing this to themselves

 

[orby]

Being a lottery team for the next couple of seasons is probably the best thing for this franchise. It's hard to watch, though. 2017 was a long time ago.

 

[HandshakeLine]

People keep thinking that getting Crosby both started and ended the rebuild, when really it was a lot of smart drafting and development by both CP and Shero that actually laid the foundations to 3 cups.

I don't see a lot of actual development going on.

Though some of it was unintentional due to the economic situation they were in, it was actually done really well.

Get top end talent at the top of the draft: Crosby, Malkin, Staal, MAF

Get lucky on some 2nd/3rd round guys: Letang, Rust, Guentzel, Murray

Trade for complimentary talent: Kessel, Guerin, Kunitz, Schultz, Daley, Hagelin

Round out the rosters with UFA: Gonchar, Sykora, Fedentko
