When has their been a player who’s come in to play in the top 9 where Sullivan has not said “he has good offensive instincts” lol
Speculation: Penguins off day talk thread: Yes, Sully is still the coach

And did anyone follow up and ask Mr. Smug if he was aware that there are only 5 teams in the league with fewer ACTUAL goals?

Wonder where we would be in the standing had Sullivan run:
Jake-Sid-Rust
DOC-Malkin-Puustinen
Smith-Eller-Rakell
Nieto-Acciari-Carter
4th line withstanding.
No because it’s clearly all about the players and there’s nothing he can do about that lol

Or that you CAN control whether the goalie can see the puck with no problem whatsoever or has to look through a maze of bodies?
Or that not all scoring chances are created equal?
"We lead the league in TKs/60," responded Sully.

WHAT? Pus on 2nd line? figured Philips would have another crack while new guy Bem gets 3rd line and Pus 4th line or scratched for producing.
Not a good day for the Pens playoff chances…Wings and Tampa won, and looking like NJD will pull it out…

Quicker we are out of the playoff picture the more people will realize Sully needs to go.

Everybody realizes Sullivan needs to go. Even the few Sullivan defenders on here have resorted to "Well, he's not the only problem." as their best line of defense.
Unfortunately, the only exception to that seems to be the people that matter, FSG and Dubas

The new owners just *had* to be from the Boston area, didn't they?Everybody realizes Sullivan needs to go. Even the few Sullivan defenders on here have resorted to "Well, he's not the only problem." as their best line of defense.

Yeah that's the Minnesota Wild mindset. We've seen where that leads.
I'm not saying it's Cup or bust, but you have to at least put yourself in a position where you have a legitimate chance to win it all, and aren't counting on a Cinderella run every year.
I would happily sacrifice 5+ years to get the team to that point. That would be taking things seriously, unlike whatever the hell this is.

This roster is bad. But its not THAT bad. There has to be ten teams above us in the full league standings that are worse.
Theres too many teams with an even worse list of skaters that are able to have interesting games.
Meanwhile we have to just hope our goalies stand on their head and our forwards accidentally bounce something in the opposing goal.

Tampa is in 8th and has played five more games than the Pens. The Flyers have played 4 more and are 3rd in Metro.
The Pens are 9 points behind both.
The Pens have to actually win the games in hand, but doing so would eventually close the gap significantly.

Every time I say it's over, the Islanders and Devils shit the bed and it's all of the sudden not over
They have to maintain like a .675 winning %, maybe more, the rest of the way and they’ve been at like .579 …it’s not going to happen, people
