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

[vikingGoalie]

So if I was the guy to get Jarry's jersey I'd set it on fire there on the ice

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Now we just stay mediocre for a couple years and not quite make the wildcard spots.

Can't wait!

He will be a back up elsewhere soon or in the minors.

Buddy, that's your starting goalie until 2028.

 

[canadianguy77]

Being as bad as we can over the next few years is probably the best route to go if you think about it. We need to start accruing and compiling young quality assets.

Gavin McKenna, come on down!

 

[Pancakes]

We will see if anyone gets fired.

Would not be shocked to see nobody fired.

I would be shocked if Hextall isn't gone. Surely FSG wants to put their own guy in there.

Sullivan seems safe regardless because of that damned extension. Sigh

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I know we have no shot at Bedard but we deserve him. We're the worst team in the world with the worst coach and management.

maybe we will get his cousin in the 2026 draft!!

 

[canadianguy77]

Was one single adjustment made tonight?

I don't believe so.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Shit tier finishing
Late 3rd collapse
Awful goaltending
Disgraced by a tired, dumpster team
Bottom six did nothing (Heinen goal late and irrelevant)

They died how they lived.

 

[HuskerTornado]

LeShithe Bedard

Should've dealt Rust at the TDL last season, should've let everyone walk this summer, and let Sid decide if he wanted to go down with the ship or chase a Cup elsewhere.

Well, the team should've f***ing nuked the FO and coaching staff in 2020, but Mario and his pedophile-adjacent bud were just as MIA and dumb as FSG's been.

Then we wouldnt have sid set him up for a golden high danger chance only for him to toe drag and bobble the puck and turn it over around 4 minutes remaining in the third.

 

[BigEezyE22]

Does pulling the goalie count?

 

[the penitent]

Well, it's been a great 16 year run, but tonight brought the curtain down on that. Isles won't lose to the Habs, but this crap team doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs regardless. For a franchise that's had some truly shameful moments in its history, this ranks up there with some of the worst. We can try to single out individuals, but it should be painfully obvious that every single man that took the ice tonight should hang their heads.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Well I think I'm gonna go watch Congo.

[Crosbyfan]

For anyone upset about the game don't forget we still would have needed a win against Columbus....

 

[dueling mullets]

Wonder if Anyone will call out Sid, Geno & Letang & others Bob Pompeani just did !! that is a start, But not going to hold my breath. It will be Sullivan Sullivan Sullivan & Hextall Hextall Hextall !! would like to that that Democrat Political Hack David Morehouse for thumbs down on the trade of Letang to wake these guys up back an eternity now

Letang has always been superfluous (see Hainsey, R., 2017), but not sure what more you want out of Crosby and Malkin at the end of the season after Sullivan relies on them 20+ minutes a night all year long.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Why f***ing play like that vs Minny and Detroit if you're just gonna piss yourself vs the f***ING Hawks?

f***ing sickening.

 

[Gurglesons]

I would be shocked if Hextall isn't gone. Surely FSG wants to put their own guy in there.

Sullivan seems safe regardless because of that damned extension. Sigh

Or they are content on just playing out the fiddle with a GM who they believe can “rebuild”.

Whatever. Nothing will change.

 

[pistolpete11]

How do you NOT fire Hextall AND Sullivan after tonight?

Hextall botched the bottom 6 twice. Once in the offseason and again at the deadline.

As bad as the roster may be, you have a home game against the worst team in the league in a must win scenario and you score ZERO 5-on-5 goals (outside of garbage time) with essentially a healthy roster. The roster is not good enough, but it's good enough to win that f***ing game.

 

[Power Surge]

Can't wait!

Buddy, that's your starting goalie until 2028.

6 years 100 million for Injarry. Our big FA will be a 20 mil a year PK specialist that Sully can masterbate all summer on how hes gonna use him.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Should've kept Judd Caulfield

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Watch the new GM come in and trade for Gibson. Then Gibson has injury issues and this board will lose its collective yinzer minds.

Does it even f***ing matter? This team is done winning playoff rounds for a decade+.
This goalie or that. Who gives a crap?

 

[Pancakes]

Or they are content on just playing out the fiddle with a GM who they believe can “rebuild”.

Whatever. Nothing will change.

The most awful outcome would be nothing changing either in GM or at coach so yeah sure what the hell that'll happen. That's how it has gone since the cups.

At least we got those cup dvds for the next two decades before we're relevant again.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

It is indeed a joke that only Hextall will get fired for this.

What does the next GM even do anyways? Like I think Hextall has been largely awful, but this free agent crop sucks, we have no prospects, we have deadweight (Rust/Granlund/Carter being the most notable) and the next GM will probably be stuck with Sullivan.

Fire Sullivan.

Very true, so it's going to take a really creative GM, because this ship is taking on water fast. And that GM is not named Ron Hextall OR Brian Burke

 

[dueling mullets]

f*** every one of you idiots who bitched at me in October and November for getting upset about meaningless pints. They're not so f***ING meaningless now are they?

Just so the people that have you on ignore get your message (I imagine there is a direct correlation).

 

[BrookswasHere44]

It's heavily debated outside this part of the board

Silly
