I'm trying to remember if Bjugstad has done anything memorable since coming back besides just be there...
Can you name something Bjugstad has done since he was traded here?

Probably won't be until late 20 or 21 though, unless their collapse is of historic proportions.
Is it really that difficult to prepare for our PP? You could run tape from 3 months ago and it would be current
Relax. If you're comparing Sullivan to Bylsma then you need to give your head a shake and forget about the Pens for a bit. Sheary and the goalies have nothing to do with this crap play. Sheary has actually been pretty good. 87 is bad right now and so is half the D. Add in the forwards losing in any interest in defense and this is what you get. For God's sake, its not like Kahun was some gamebreaker.
As of 3/8 we're still 98% to make playoffs according to that McCurdy fella. I guess I'll go calm down somewhere. I literally couldn't care less about seedings. Just make the dance baby
I think the PP is a function of not having coaching, which Sully pretty much says, as he says he doesn't want to wring the creativity out of the players...so the players go do what they've been doing for 10+ years, as there are all vets on it...their tendencies are all well known. So give them some damn coaching and change things up....unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Sully or Recchi know what they hell they're doing in that aspect of the game
I will swear on my life that the following is a true statement; When they raised their last Cup banner in 17, two things I observed made me nervous about our future.
First, Recchi looked absolutely lost behind the bench. He had a stare that screamed "what in the hell am I doing here".
But the other thing that really stood out was when Sully was introduced, the crowd went El LOCO.... Sully seemed caught off guard for instant, but then it was at that very moment I witnessed his soul change to a pure unadulterated smugness. It literally sent shivers down to me skivvy's. The crowd confirmed to his ego that HE was most responsible for those 2 cups......
and now we almost know the rest of the story...... G'Day
Or smack them upside the head with a 9 ironYou may have to carry a card or jersey with you because they will be joining you soon.
Maybe snatch an autograph.
No furries, only scalies.Twitter? Please mute Jarry, Murray, Fleury, Fluery, Flower, Flurry, Maury, Jury, Furry....

What was the rationale for the JJ signing? That, alone, negates all of JRS great trades, most of which were made before the 2017 Cup win.
And the term along with the cap hit along with Johnson being shit at everything. Wow.
I've asked once before but never got a reply. It's been going on for like last 10 games but either 1) Letang got demoted 2) They are trying to balance out lines with defensemen 3) Crosby got fed up with Letang and asked for more responsible d pairs, Petts/Schultz but they have honestly been a shitshow. Schultz has been far worse with the pinches last 10 games compared to Letang.
Petts/Schultz are getting a lot of shifts with top line. We've always speculated how Letang would take bottom line minutes and apparently not good. His stats without Crosby are pretty bad. He has 0 goals 2 assist and -10 last 10 games. He wouldn't answer questions from media yesterday. I honestly always thought if he was good offensive d-men as some of you on here think. Getting him shifts against opposing teams 3rd and 4th lines. He would be able to get more offensive and do some things. But not the case. He's looking like a product of Sid.
Letang has been with Malkin. Petts - Schultz isn’t a pairing anymore.
All I ask is that they’re entertaining and give a shit. Their Mike Johnston level of offense from everybody outside a few forwards is depressing beyond the Ws and Ls.
Someone clearly has it in for you then. Be careful.
You forgot about getting pucks deep. Gotta get more pucks deep.The post game interview is not as serious or insightful as people, DK mainly--that dorkass, seems to think.
All we're missing by not getting them yesterday is some robotic answers, taken from a board of cliches, spoken through a thinly veiled tone of frustration.
"How does it feel to suck for a month and a half, Kris?"
"We, uh, we know things are bad. We have to play better as a team. We need to focus on the basics, keep our feet moving. Get better in our own zone, help our goalies out. They've been great for us, but we're leaving them out to dry. Gotta keep things simple on the PP, just find the back of the net. Can't keep wasting the man-advantage like we have been."
You're all welcome.
