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

[Darren McCord]

I don't mean to single you out or anything, I just think it's funny to imagine waiving a guy who was claimed off of waivers as some cut throat "woah Dubas isn't messing around" move.

I mean it took hextall like 40 games before he waived a guy lol

The bar was low.

 

[Andy99]

Don't care. The bottom 6 should be put into a blender until something good happens.

and if it doesn’t? when do we look at the coach and what he’s asking of them lol?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Hey... We are trying something new!

 

[Zirakzigil]

I wouldn't be surprised if Letang has a groin injury or something along those lines. He overextended himself on a couple plays last night.

Were gunna see Ruh in the top 4 now instead of eating popcorn.

You know when you have a mess and you tell yourself you'll clean it up later? And the longer it goes without being cleaned up, the more it just becomes normal and you don't notice it anymore?

That's where I'm at with Sullivan.

seriously. i was expecting to see him for the next few weeks still

Where's Pens X?

So, in essence you're becoming numb to it.

I put it on ignore. Unfortunately, I can't do the same with Ruhshitzle.

Last year, our forwards stayed pretty healthy.....

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Since it's just Harkins on waivers, the injuries must not be that significant. Otherwise you could keep him up, even as the 13th forward, if you were putting Acciari on LTIR.

Or they need to call someone up to play center, maybe?

They have 12 forwards. By waiving Harkins, they are down to 11 forwards. If Acciari is hurt and going to miss time, they're down to 10 forwards.

They can replace Harkins with any forward. But they cannot call up another forward without either placing Acciari on LTIR or sending down a defenseman.

Ruh can play 4th line wing and we will go with 6 actual defensemen.

I trust Dubas more to find a good coach replacement for Sullivan than I trust Sullivan to get this team back to the playoffs and win a round…and this is the case regardless of whether Ruh gets benched or promoted lol

 

[frisco]

Are you serious about betting this? I will take that bet for a pretty large sum if you want to do it. We can find someone we both agree to hold the money.

I don't think I was putting it out there as an actual offer that the general public could take me up on. More like a figure of speech. That being said, what kind of odds are you giving me?

Def not giving odds. You sounded so sure about this. If anyone should get odds its me as the only player in the bottom 6 who have ever put up 12+ more than once is Eller. Having said that, I'm all for betting someone in the bottom 6 hits 12 this year and I'll do it for even money. 5k max for me though.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Letang out with a lower body injury

Well, with him, it's better than a head injury

Guess the gut-punch of getting shown up INSTANTLY by EK in games was very painful

 

[Andy99]

The Flyers are better to start the season than the Pens…don’t sleep on them…they’ll be 3-0 after beating the Oilers tonight and are higher than the Pens in the standings…people don’t appreciate how young legs and solid goaltending can count for a lot, unlike the Pens’ old legs and shaky goaltending lol

3-1. They start hot every year. Who are the young legs powering that team? I guess Konecny. I'm sleeping on em. Tuck me in

Rangers getting smacked at home 4-1 by Nashville. Igor in net. Weren't they the next young team?

I stand by my early appraisal that the East is open for business this year.

"people don’t appreciate how young legs and solid goaltending can count for a lot, unlike the Pens’ old legs and shaky goaltending lol"

Not sure who would possibly think otherwise but if you want to trade rosters with them, go right ahead, lol
