Speculation: Penguins off day talk thread: Yes, Sully is still the coach

[Icarium]

But if Geno is out who are Yohe and company going to blame for the next pathetic loss?!?

 

[pistolpete11]

so our defense and offense stinks…and the coach has no input into either of those lol

I'm not saying it doesn't, but by what metric does the defense suck? The same ones that say that our offense is actually pretty good?

Jake they will all turn on Jake if they think he is going to be traded. It is easy that way.

Per the NHL's media Web site, Jansen Harkins (concussion) has been designated to injured reserve.

Well, if Harkins is out then season is over. Send Sully to the beach and have some rando coach the team. If he scowls enough, no one will notice the absence.

Sully on the news Hawkins will be out. Wish I could photoshop his face on.

 

[BillyOcean]

We might get our wish of a Sullivan-less Penguins team for a few games. I can only imagine the Harkins injury news has left him in a terrible mental state where he's crying in bed and inconsolable.

Sullivan hasn't had to endure this kind of hardship since ZAR was traded.

Hey how's he doing, anyway? My betters made sure to tell me plenty back when he was a Penguin how important he secretly was and what a revelation his underlying numbers were. I'm sure that must have translated to massive success, yes?

Harkins makes ZAR look like prime Kunitz by comparison.

So does Puu get called for a 4th line role with 1 pt in 4 since going down , or Hino with 3G 2A in last 3? Or better yet Nylander!!!!

I guess at least ZAR could knock some goals in here and there.

Shocking that Harkins struggles, there. What with his deceptively great shot and all.

Harkins is just going through the same poor puck luck the rest of the roster is going through. When his xGF, just like the team's, finally starts translating into actual goals, he'll be fine.

Certainly nothing to do with their shoot at the goalie's crest from the perimeter approach that Sullivan hockey preaches.

My buddy who is a Rags fan says Trochek has been outstanding for them. Just sayin.

Sure. Credit to him.

Curious as to who his regular linemates are, though.

37 games 7 goals 9 assists with AHL Grand Rapids
Just got called up to NHL
1 NHL game with Red Wings with zeros across the board

Amazing what playing with Artemi Panarin will do for a guy.

Oh is THAT who it is? I was not aware!

I think I've heard of that guy. He's OK, right?

EDIT: *adjusts glasses* Well wouldja looky there! That fella leads the Rangers in scoring! By 20 points! Neat!

I wouldn't be surprised if Gruden gets the call.

is that something like putting a player in a position to secede? I've heard of that somewhere and I was wondering.

No that's what a bunch of smoothbrains in Texas think they want to do.

 

[Cowumbus]

Not sure if this is where it should go, but Mike Sullivan was inducted into the Bean Pot Hall of Fame tonight.

 

[Mr. T]

It just gets boring having Sullivan crowbarred into almost every discussion. And Im guilty of it too sometimes. But it starts to get a little over the top when people are pretending that they were huge fans of Danton Heinen. Or maybe I’ve been complaining so long about Sullivan that I’m finally bored of it and you guys took way too long to realize how much he sucks as a coach?

Everyone needs to pick someone to blame and shoehorn that person into every thread. I have dibs on Chad Ruhwedel and his giant, bald ass head.

Panarin was his most common linemate last year, too, and Trocheck was pretty much along career norms (22 goals, 42 assists in 82 games).

But since Panarin has already surpassed his goal total from last year (31 in 52 games after 29 in 82 last year), Trocheck has gone along for the ride and has a good chance to set some career highs in assists and perhaps in points. His goal scoring pace isn't all that different though.

 

[Pancakes]

Trochek is a dirty pos and he has an annoying face so I'm glad he's on the Rags and not here.
