Post-Game Talk: Pens lose to the worst team in the league

[cygnus47]

This is precisely why the organization continuing to focus on building a supporting cast of complimentary pieces rather than focus on adding some actual players who can drive play on their own continues to kill this team.

You put Sid and/or Geno on any other team in the playoffs where they can just be one of multiple offensive weapons and they're still incredible. The problem with the Penguins is they keep building rosters as though Sid/Geno are still 25 year olds in their peak and can carry rosters of 50 point complimentary pieces.

We saw it this year. Any time Sid or Geno looked bad, the team was lottery levels of bad. A team shouldn't be that dependent on 35/36 year olds, no matter how good they are or were in their prime. Detroit didn't win the Cup in 2002 with 36 year old Yzerman expected to be the sole source of offense for his club. He was one of many complimentary pieces on that club.

Unfortunately a decision made years and years ago starting with Shero and unfixable now.

I feel like it's easier said then done. Look at Edmonton and Toronto.

Jarry gone.

Sully home.

Hextall gone.

That's a plus.

SID gone, Jake gone

Laying the foundation with the first excuse for our upcoming loss to the Columbus Anybodies? Hopefully it's his final loss as coach.

I want to say we all wish, but there's a huge faction of legit Sullivan fans, still.

Sad part.. hoping the Islanders win tonight... hopefully we see bigger changes happen with the Pens.. They are so sloppy to watch .. However we have been very spoiled with such great players.

Dude it has to be a win to miss the playoffs. You want change. This team at best would have won 2 games in the playoffs. At very best. This is a good thing.

Season's over.

f***ING LOSERS

SID gone, Jake gone

Sid and Geno stay, Letang should be shopped if you ask me.

 

[Ryder71]

Sid and Geno stay, Letang should be shopped if you ask me.

Well I will try to ask you right now. So what do you think about Letang?

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

It's time for him to pack his bags!! I'd trade him for Matheson and Marino!!

Well played!

Letang shouldn’t have been resigned to begin with.

And that was before he had stroke #2…..

 

[TKalltheTime]

Letang shouldn’t have been resigned to begin with.

And that was before he had stroke #2…..

Again, he should have been traded in 2017…

 

[Super Luigi]

What we do with Zucker? I like him but we might get decent pieces

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Hey Pens….

 

[Kristopher Letang]

What we do with Zucker? I like him but we might get decent pieces

He’s a UFA… What pieces are you trying to get? He should have been traded at the deadline, we’ll lose him for nothing.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Letang shouldn’t have been resigned to begin with.

Totally agreed, heck even GMJR had a vision and wanted to move him..

 

[Super Luigi]

Yeah, forgot he was UFA. Hextall f***ing destroyed this team

 

[TheGoldenJet]

The silver lining from being eliminated is that Sid and Geno won’t have their playoff stats suffer against the top rated team in the league.

They are the top two playoff performers of their generation, it might be good to keep their averages as good as they are, rather than play playoff games well into their late 30s and potentially lower them.
