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

[Malkinstheman]

Our lord and savior Ruh is back. Wohoo

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Boy do I hope Rakell will start tearing it up.

 

[vodeni]

Rakell is gonna tear it up on that line until Rust comes back and then Sully will immediately do GCR again

that won't happen in the next couple of months anyway

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

100% I think this is the exact lineup I want to see this team running with at this point. Maybe sub out Carter but who really cares?

That bottom six is still ugly. Our 3rd line should be the 4th line, and our 4th line shouldn't be in the NHL.

Even with Nieto/Acciari back, I'd like to see more skill in that bottom six.

What about...

Guentzel Crosby Rust
Rakell Malkin Puustinen
O'Connor Eller Smith
Nieto Zohorna Acciari

Tatar to Seattle for a 5th. I am unclear if that 5th is a draft pick or a bottle of liquor.

If you were to tell me prior to the start of the season that a third of the way in, Colorado's free agents Tatar and Drouin would be tied in PPG and that Drouin would be leading in GPG, I would have laughed.

Then if you were to tell me Rickard Rakell 17gp 0g 4a, I would have cried.

There is a reason Tatar struggled to get a contract.

 

[BillyOcean]

Graves' looks like he's about to drop a deuce in the pic with name plates showing.

That's not how we do things in Pittsburgh

 

[Grouch]

I don't think Hinostroza is good enough for me to give a crap if he's playing or not.

The 4th line is going to be a shit sandwich until Acciari gets back and they add another top-9 forward to push Zohorna to the 4th line.

But Harkins is. wow!

 

[66-30-33]

There is a reason Tatar struggled to get a contract.

I'd have taken him here, maybe he would have faired better.

Yes I realize I said faired when we have Sully here.

 

[MeinerEiner]

What about...

Guentzel Crosby Rust
Rakell Malkin Puustinen
O'Connor Eller Smith
Nieto Zohorna Acciari

I like the idea of this lineup but I would change Rakell and Smith. Geno and Smith had a lot of chemistry at the start of the season and maybe they get their mojo back.

 

[Turin]

Feeling a Puustinen hattrick

 

[Andy99]

that might be worst second D pair ever…just bench Graves already lol…
and I rue the predictable return of Ruh lol…Sullivan has zero answers

 

[Gurglesons]

RUHWEDEL IS BACK.

 

[Josey Wales]

and I rue the predictable return of Ruh lol…Sullivan has zero answers

OH Good Lord Get over yourself, Graves is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down the list of Problems

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

RUHWEDEL IS BACK.

Who is going to be with the organization longer: Sullivan or Ruhwedel?

 

[Darren McCord]

Who is going to be with the organization longer: Sullivan or Ruhwedel?

They will both retire in 10 years and have their numbers retired.

 

[Andy99]

What about the coaching performance? Are you satisfied with where that is?

 

[Josey Wales]

Mike Sullivan confirmed Acciari and Rakell both participated in a full capacity today. "So, real encouraging stuff. We'll see how they respond, and then we'll make decisions accordingly from there."

 

[Icarium]

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic is Sully's go to move.

 

[SomeDude]

I want to have “performance matters” branded on that stupid idiot’s forehead and make him walk down blvd of the allies while everyone throws trash at him when the organization finally moves on from Mike Sullivan.

Too harsh, or not harsh enough?

 

[Pancakes]

Graves/EK is going to be the most high event hockey of all time....and with the high events happening more in our end than the opponent's.

 

[PensandCaps]

I would definitely move Ludvig to the 2nd pair. Graves is killing Letang recently.

I mean, I'm sure Josey has something stupid there already, so we're gonna need to consult our graphic design people on the layout.

 

[BusinessGoose]

I feel like I'm dying alive
