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

[Randy Butternubs]

I mean, I don't see it in him but now is the time to call up Puustinen.

If they even can. I've not kept track of daily roster moves, cap hits, etc. this season.

That would have to be preceded by a firing of Sullivan, otherwise I don’t see it happening under his watch lol

We have 1.2 open right now.

 

[Andy99]

Does it matter anymore? Lol

See what we need to do is convince him that his name is Vance Patterson and he’s a good 28 year old Southie Irish boy. He’ll be playing 18 minutes tomorrow.

I meant more so the roster number.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Does it matter anymore? Lol

At least Letang is out there?

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Sully gone blame Rusts injury woes for his firing.

The thought of the haul that we can get for Rust from whatever team hires Sully next is about the most positive thing about the future of this franchise right now.

More from Taylor lol


“• They're moving onto power play work now. Small-area drills using only one end of the ice. Vinnie Hinostroza gets the promotion to the top unit with Rust out.

PP1: Erik Karlsson, Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, Hinostroza

PP2: Letang, Lars Eller, Alex Nylander, Jeff Carter, Reilly Smith”

Jesus.

 

[Pancakes]

Third liner Jeff Carter certainly is a decision

 

[Grouch]

Jesus.

At least Vinnie can pass, handle passes and score a little. Not like he has to play D on PP.

Don't understand why DOC keeps getting L1 opportunity.

 

[Andy99]

even The Hockey Guy at the end says firing the coach could be the solution lol

 

[Smasher]

Rust being evacuated from the tire fire...

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I'd rather have Carter on PP1 than Hino.

At least he's big and can shoot when he has about 4 seconds to get it off.

 

[pistolpete11]

If Rust is out, call up Puusy.

I'd also reunite the DOC-Eller-Zohorna line. Eller and Zohorna have disappeared since Rakell got injured and DOC got bumped into the top 6. It's not like DOC is really providing enough to justify keeping him in the top 6 anyway.

Guentzel - Crosby - Puusy
Smith - Malkin - Nylander
DOC - Eller - Z
Hino - Koppanen - Carter

I imagine we are going to see a lot of Guentzel-Crosby-Malkin like the third period against the Bolts as well. Sell out to hopefully score a couple of goals and then hang on for dear life.

Yohe is an idiot lol…

 

[Darren McCord]

Does it matter anymore? Lol

Sullivan is suchs a moron. It was so predictable that Harkins would be his new pet too.

Imagine keeping these guys in the lineup over trying someone new.

Nylander 5gp 0pts +0
Harkins 10gp 0 pts -1
Koppanen 3gp 0 pts +0

Even Shea over Smith
21gp 0pts -1

Like the team cant score right now and you dont even try to bring up some skill. Pitlick has 5pp goals in the AHL and leads the team in goals. at least try something.

 

[Malkinstheman]

How more chances does Nylander need. Does Sullivan have any ability to think outside the box? Give literally anyone else a chance. What do you have to lose at this point. Pustinen, Houde, Pitlick etc

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It *is* weird that even in a pile of worthless crap like this organization's prospect/AHL depth is, the worst seems to always be chosen by the coaches at the claw machine. Ruhwedel for years, Trotman, Harkins, Nylander, hell, even DOC.

 

[vodeni]

Does it matter anymore? Lol

this is one ugly looking offense

 

[MeinerEiner]

this is one ugly looking offense

At this point it doesn’t really matter who’s playing. They play like shit and will do so until the coaching staff is gone.

Hino to L1, Puu to L2, Nylander to L4 and DOC to L4

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

That bottom-6 is somethin' else, and the top-6 winger situation is almost as bad with the only guy worth a damn being Jake, and he just rides Sid's coattails.
