GDT: Pens vs Blues (8PM EST)

I’d tell them to lose but that hasn’t worked so far…so GO PENS! Lol

And hopefully Malkin plays…he was out for the optional skate

 
I'm honestly perplexed why they keep playing Jarry. Winning games at this point doesn't particularly help them. Maybe seeing if he can play himself into not being an automatic buyout in the off-season?

More realistically it's Sullivan trying to win every game and going with the "hot hand". Still, he's almost definitely not in their plans next year so why not play Nedjelkovic more? Jarry's starting in like 80% of their games it seems.

God do we need a thorough ass whooping by the Blues.

I don't know how this we'll turn out, sincerely, ok? But our next two games IMO are against the two best teams going right now. St. Louis and Dallas. This should be two regulation losses. I just hope STL and DAL show up and play to their abilities or close. If so we should receive ZERO points.

It's like Sullivan's and the team's goals are very different things and we're not on the same page or something.

Sullivan is an idiot. It's as simple as that. Dubas should have left Jarry down in WBS.

The smart thing to do would be take this time to take stock, but we can't do that because we for some reason want the kids to stay permanently in the AHL so they "get experience" before their playoffs.
 
The head coach is always going to try to win every game. That's their job.

Imo I'd point more blame at Dubas if the Pens end up costing themselves a better pick. Because he could have easily gutted the roster more than he did at the deadline, but chose not to. But Sullivan's always going to try to win every game.

No it isn't, not in this case. He can experiment with the line up. Give his lesser lights more minutes. Cancel practices just because. Stop playing hot goalies. Look at the Bruins, they're doing it right.

We have a chance to get a really nice player in this draft. THAT'S where the focus needs to be. Drafting a future possible member of the core!

Winning now is cowardly! If you can't win when it matters, don't win now when it hurts you! These Fat Pigs need to lose!

"Tank and draft a kid with genuine skill? Blech." - Mike Sullivan, said while violently shuddering, probably

He doesn't know how to manage playing time. It's on display every game, he doesn't know how to line match, and he overplays goalies to the point they burn out, then the next guy is too cold from having zero game time for weeks.

I mean, I hope none of our players or coaches intentionally try to lose.

It's just infuriating that they're always somehow better when they have little to no chance of doing anything meaningful, and hurting the org's chances of improving by drafting higher.
 
Damn…Geno still out…if the Blues can’t beat this lineup they have no chance in the POs lol
