5 straight loses, one blown 3-1 lead to Edmonton, one loss against Calgary where the shots were at one point like 25-4, multi goal loss against Vancouver, followed by a multi goal loss against Seattle, and now a blown 5-2 lead against Boston at home.


Anyways this is def not a jinx thread
Nothing a long over due coaching change cant rectify.

It’s November 2nd.
Right ! My wifes birthday

Thanks for the early morning reminder !!

Cheers

Father Time gets to the”experienced” teams. It is a faster pace league
Crosby isn’t “The kid” any more
12 points in 10 games leading the team.

10 in 10 for Gino.

Their age aint the problem.

Should have changes coaches like 250 games ago.

Crosby looks great out there. He's not the issue right now. The bottom six has been pretty bad. I think losing Rodrigues created a hole. Carter being injured doesn't help things.

This seems to be par for the course for this franchise. Old generational player starts to wear out and the team dips just I'm time to get the next one in Bedard 😜
I hadn’t even thought of that until just now. As wormy as it is, “The Penguin Way” has certainly worked for them.

You get my vote for “Post of the Day.”

Well done.

Not looking forward to the Sabres depleted and injured defense playing a pissed off Crosby tonight. I may bet all of his player props.

We stink right now, no doubt about it.

I don't think we'll play like this for too much longer. Trouble is, an 0-5 or 0-7 or whatever this ends up being stretch might actually be enough to cost a playoff spot. It's really hard to give away that many points in what figures to be a tight eastern conference.

So we'll see what happens.

You’d have a point if they were the only two old guys playing key roles

Depleted corpse of an old team going through the motions under a coach who has no answers and on a back to back. Sabres are going to roll the Pens tonight.

Only one thing , they can’t ice a full team of AHL players and scrubs like they did when they lost on purpose to get Mario .
League changed the roster rules specifically because of that .
Oh , and they are not almost bankrupt so maybe they won’t win the draft lotto ?

The West
If it's any consolation Calgary went from first in the west to 4 points from the bottom in no time flat. Huberdeau , Lindholm and other top 9 guys can't make points.

Good news is we're only a 6th of the way into this season.

Pens are a good team that has the elements to be very good. Need to change some folks here and Sullivan message is old and stale. Made a big mistake extending him and that was a good indication of why a lazy decision just comes back to haunt you.

They've been in competitive games, and with the veterans that team has they're probably going to be on auto pilot till playoffs
I guess you didn’t see their 4 game west trip where they were out scored 18 - 6. I would hardly call that competitive.
