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

[Mrs Crosby's Dryer]

It’ll likely be a dud in terms of TDL deals. Aside from POJ and Ludvig, whom neither of which will bring much in the way of return, I don’t see idiot Sullivan actively shopping anyone else.

 

[pistolpete11]

You are shocked?

Let's just say if things keep going south and they don't trade Jake, I'm going to be longing for the Hextall days.

Edit: ...at least without signing him to an extension. I'd still rather trade him and have a handshake agreement to come back in FA, but risking losing Jake for nothing on a team that is going to miss the playoffs is a fireable offense.

[Zirakzigil]

Should sign him. I bet he can score.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Replace Reirden with Jagr before the weekend's over. I'm only half-joking.

 

[Andy99]

lol…no one’s come out for practice yet

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

lol why is Jags dressed like the Czech Fonzie? Please tell me he went "Heey!" and did a double thumbs up.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Any chance Ned starts over Jarry tomorrow?

 

[Andy99]

lol

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Puljujarvi has been fine, if unproductive. Keeping White over him is dumb.

 

[BusinessGoose]

The way they use players is baffling

Harkins should be sitting at home

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Sid's expression looks like when someone comes up to you and greets you like he knows you, but you can't quite place the face.

"Oh, hey it's ... you!"

Sullivan at his finest.
Sullivan 100% has and always will have a preference for US or NCAA players.

White - Born in Boston, MA
Harkins - Born in Ohio

Like is laughable these guys stay in but its not really surprising.

we can only hope

 

[Icarium]

Harkins - Carter - White might actually be the worst Penguins line in the Sullivan era.

 

[Darren McCord]

You can go even Farther just look at the whole team. just this summer alone. Almost every player brought in, is some nobody with US ties.

Smith - US Hockey CHAA
Nedeljkovic - US Born
Acciari - US Born
Harkins - US Born
Nieto - US Born
White - US Born
Hino - US Born
Shea - US Born

Like Dubas is just another Sullivan Pawn lol

Harkins - Carter - White might actually be the worst Penguins line in the Sullivan era.

Nah its peak sullivan. Best line that does absolutely nothing.

Are they healthy scratching Puljujarvi? That's stupid.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

You know a line sucks when the Adams/Glass duo would be an upgrade.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

So they claimed a hobbit that produces offense about as poorly as Harkins. I bet Sully gives him a better shot than Puustinen if he gets dressed for a game.

Are they healthy scratching Puljujarvi? That's stupid.

Wait they scratched Jesse over White? Also Sully is still going with Doc with Geno for the RW?

The dumb f***ery with this coach never ceases.

Also Phillips is a right handed shot and rw playing left wing? f*** sakes. What was that bs about this tosser wanting players playing to their handedness side? Just on defense? Imagine having options and using the roster like you don't. f***ing mental gymnastics this Boston .

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

lol wasn't Harkins just out with a concussion?

Why are they in such a hurry to force him back into the lineup?

Getting kinda comical with this guy. They lose a bet or something?

EDIT: And FFS can they flush the White experiment? Like I get it... it's the fourth line. But what is it with this team and dressing black holes like they are game changers or something?

Convince me that if White was from Finland and Puljujarvi was from the US that it wouldn't be the other way around.

I thought Sully might like Puljujarvi, he's been pretty good on the forecheck.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I think Puljujarvi likely kinda sucks too. But they sure didn't give him a long look huh?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Oh for sure. To be honest I don't think any our "fringe" guys are more than dime a dozen replacement types. It's just funny how Sullivan's pattern seems to be player from USA/NCAA can be shit for 50+ games and keeps his spot while player from Europe has to be awesome within 4 or 5 games or he's basically dead to Sullivan.

Pulju and White both look terrible. I though White was decent the first few games. Pulju...it's incredible a guy with such little talent was drafted top 5. He's Harkins but slower, and with Jagr's backside (his best feature)
