GDT: Pens vs Devils

[Andy99]

Gotta give Kyle credit, his pick ups like Tomasino, Timmins and Dewar look pretty good for a 4th and 5th rounder. Not that I want them to win at this point, but he extracted pretty good value there. Also, Tomasino has SIX GWG's out of his 10 on the season.

I think he’s great…I want the coaching staff nowhere near him to “fix” his game lol

Last season, the push was largely due to being a trap team because we sold Guentzel at the deadline, and therefore, teams didn't take us seriously. This season post-trade deadline is likely some of that, but we're also at least earning some of the wins.

 

[Gurglesons]

Although Dewar did score the same amount of goals today as Nieto has in his entire 55 game tenure with the Pens, so there's that.

Is that a positive of Dewar or a reflection of how f***ing stupid our coach is?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Super stoked for this team to pick like 9th and 15th. Woo hoo

 

[vikingGoalie]

we can't even tank correctly yeesh...

figures Jarry starts playing like an actual NHL goalie just in time to screw us over.
he single handedly lost us a couple playoff series, single handedly was the biggest reason we missed the playoffs 2 seasons ago and is now apparently gonna take us from a top 5 pick to number 10+ by the time this is done.
Then no one will take him in the off season anyway....

Jarry is going to get the last laugh when he screws the Pens out of a top 5 pick and gives them a 32nd overall career ECHL player instead.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

What the hell is this team doing?

It’s so funny that people think we have a chance to get in the playoffs..

I mean..

 

[Honour Over Glory]

For f***s sake. Not this bullshit again near the end of the season. So now they're f***ing up their draft position and that f***ing loser Sullivan gets some benefit of the doubt by truly idiotic blokes.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I mean..

I mean, no. They're f***ing dumb.

Also what in the blue f*** is this new forum shit.

I mean, would it have mattered if Jarry won games before and lost these now?
Same result.

The bigger problem is this team needed like .920 goaltending to make the playoffs, and ofc our shitty blue line.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Its not a new format, its the Xenforo default. We lost all our customizations when they tried fixing the login issues. Pretty much everything went back to the default settings and they are slowly trying to recreate what we had.

Glass looks good too away from Sullivan. Can't fault Dubas for acquiring talent, Sully pissing on said talent.

Sadly this win streak creates two problems. First off it hurts our draft position significantly. 2hd, it'll just reinforce Sullivan as a good head coach to upper management. Not a good situation.

Might not get in even if they win every single game. The wins are fun but meaningless, and we're gonna be outside the franchise players zone in the draft. Oh well.

From DK- March 13th:
There's value in winning. There's always, always, always value in winning. Players get better. Players overcome. Players are found. There's culture. Confidence. Camaraderie.

Hoping for a better draft pick?

Scout harder.

I don't think even Schaefer, the near unanimous pick for 1st overall, is a franchise player tbh. But still, any one of the big four is pretty much leaps and bounds above every other prospect in the system. It's not a do or die situation for the future that they end up picking top 4 but it would be a great add.

The important drafts are the next two though. McKenna and Dupont seem like they're trending to be actual superstar talents, and legit foundational players you build around.

Such a dork ass response.

"No guys it's actually awesome that they're #WINNING these meaningless games in mid-March and ruining their shot at the best players available in the draft, as a team with a 35 year old core teetering on the brink of retirement. Promise!"

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Only good I can see from this would be playing Jarry a lot and getting his stats up, for a potential summer trade.

Agreed but if we were to look at for fun , Rangers, Canadiens, and the Blue Jackets need to win 9 or less and Pittsburgh needs to win out the season.

If they lose a game or more from now on just reduce the number of wins needed for the opposing teams

Just win the head to head match ups and pray for no 3 point games.

Most of the comments were even worse agreeing with him. At least one said that without tanking there would be no Malkin, Fleury or Staal. This isn't the 1998-1999 season when the penguins upset the #1 seeded Devils in the playoffs, and the ownership for the penguins was up in the air.

We’ve seen crazier things happen

Hard to say
