GDT: Pens @ Leafs | Friday, Nov. 11 (7:00 PM EST) SBA| Serendipity meets Groundhog Day... @ColePens Deal with the Devil

[vodeni]

lucky to come out 2:2 so many missed chances for Leafs in the second...L2 came to play, everyone else is just there

Jake 12 minutes Geno 8minutes

 

[Pancakes]

GCR went from like an 80% 5v5 xgs in the first to like 30% now lol. Tale of two periods indeed.

 

[Andy99]

Our first period was pretty good. That period was very bad.

This team just can't play 60 minutes. Starting to wonder if they aren't good enough to.

Between that and our special teams, it’s clear this team is not so special…I wouldn’t cancel your vacation plans April thru June…

 

[Pancakes]

(It's fun because one is from 2018)

If Twitter existed from 2005-2010 you'd be able to find some Bylsma or Yeo quotes that say the same thing

 

[Tender Rip]

Move Big Jeff to L1. We need some long pants with Sid and Jake.

Too slow I think. Would go with Heinen. Rust could use the message, so I’d approve.

More likely that he’s flip Rust and Rakell just because though.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

GCR is everything that's wrong with the team. Everything Sullivan says he doesn't like. Malkin and Zucker are dominant with Rakell as a passenger. Why are we doing this

 

[Darren McCord]

I can imagine it.. 5 years ago.. dimly.. Hornqvist to the 4th line.. Rust and Sheary interchanging based on who’s playing well.. fading… gone

Can’t have hurt feelings now. I despise what Sullivan has done to rust. He has no heart and is a prima dona now

 

[dogthateats]

Imagine the look on Petry’s face if he walked into the locker room at intermission and there was a hot plate of crab rangoons for him to enjoy as he listened to coach Sully talk about sticktuitivemess or whatever

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

No teams play a full 60 minutes consistently, at least in the RS. Let alone November.

But that's not an excuse for how shit this team's been. Wheels are fallin' off hard, and Sullivan's just driving along down the highway, sparks flying out all over the place as he's riding the rims jagged.

Letang and Rust look like they’re both thinking of crab ragoons when they’re on the ice…

 

[Trade]

Handlebar mustache Zucker is peak Penguins Zucker.

 

[vodeni]

PGH media still ejaculating on GCR

At least we can catch up on our sleep.

I don’t really blame them. They’re delicious.

Not consistently, but I'm not sure we've even done it once this season. Usually teams at least occasionally do it

Dont players that leave the Pens say it's hard to play the system Sullivan employs?

 

[Flying Dego]

If Twitter existed from 2005-2010 you'd be able to find some Bylsma or Yeo quotes that say the same thing

What coach doesn't have that as a quote?

How many say "we need to be less aggressive, shoot less"

 

[Pancakes]

Probably none. But overpassing on the PP has been a problem for the entirety of Sid and Geno and Letang's careers. It's not a Sullivan problem.

 

[Andy99]

Pens being outshot again…main problem for this team, along with putrid special teams and average goaltending…they deserve to be second from the bottom of the Metro

 

[dogthateats]

I’m thinking 6-2 Toronto

 

[Pancakes]

Dont players that leave the Pens say it's hard to play the system Sullivan employs?

I have no idea

 

[vodeni]

we need younger Hornquist on that L1 with Sid and Jake, try Poehling maybe, try anyone there, maybe Kappy , , Drop Rust on third, let him earn his spot, it used to work on him before he became an elite player...

 

[Trade]

Too slow I think. Would go with Heinen. Rust could use the message, so I’d approve.

I was joking. I’d also just flip-flop Rust/Rak, but L2 is killing it. What’s the harm in trying Hallander there for a few shifts?

 

[The Old Master]

Probably none. But overpassing on the PP has been a problem for the entirety of Sid and Geno and Letang's careers. It's not a Sullivan problem.

if they don't listen, it is sully's problem

 

[Pancakes]

if they don't listen, it is sully's problem

I guess. Good luck finding a coach that's going to get those three to stop overpassing on the PP.
