I simply don't enjoy watching this team win.

They are the most unlikable Penguins team I have ever watched.... surpassing last years team which had been the most unlikable Penguins history for over a year....

This organization (sully) loves nondescript players that excel at nothing.

Dubas, let me help you do your job. From this point forward, any player you add to the roster should excel with at least one attribute. Skill, Speed, Shot, Physicality. Players that are meh in everything... avoid like the plague.

Sully has finally accomplished his goal of having a roster that resembles his pathetic NHL playing career. Mike Sullivan is everything that is or ever was bad in hockey. The fact that he had an 11 year professional career as a hockey player tells you that allot of crappy players go into coaching and live vicariously through plug players that have no business anywhere near the profession.

Andy... Can I sue FSG/Mario & Sully for emotional damages?

One of Sid's better games this year. +3, 66% CF, 2 assists, 88% xGF

That Malkin line was a massive liability. 17% CF. And yet they get like 14mins together at 5v5.
I understand that you wanna give Tomasino a proper first game, but the different standards among players is crazy on this team.
Geno was horrific in this one outside of that assist.

To be fair, Geno is playing with trash (no, I am not excited about Tomasino), while Sid’s line was stacked. Both guys had about equal seasons so far, but Sullsma can’t resist the chance to saddle Geno with third line wingers whenever he gets the opportunity.

Tomasino did not look good but it was his first game so I wouldn’t read too much into it.

The amount of people upset about a win is insane to me. They’re not very good, they’ll lose plenty. You’re cooked as a sports if you’re worrying about lottery positioning in November guys. Like tell yourself “oh Karlsson getting points makes him flippable” or something

That Malkin line got caved in but I liked what I saw from Tomasino. Hope he can find a fit there with Malkin, they need someone playing better than Bunting on LW for that line.

I really like the 3rd line with Lizotte centering it. I don't think he's necessarily an "ideal" 3C caliber player, but he's had success in that role before. I'd like it if their 3rd line was O'Connor-Lizotte-Puljujarvi.

Bunting is a quality winger. We're just getting the worst year of his career atm, unfortunately. Better lately though. 6 points in last 11.
Think he needs to be separated from Malkin. Those two together get caved in analytically a lot.
They were a great pair last year, but for whatever reason this year it's a 180.

Don't get why he hasn't been tried with Sid yet, to see if you can get him going. That should have been the first thing they attempted to get him traction early in the year, before things got too bad.
