Hard disagree. He looks like a guy that would chow down on a Subway footlong while he's taking a monster shit.
 
I f***ing despise Sullivan. He is a f***ing moron. He is a complete failure in every regard. He is a fraud.

And Dubas is marginally better, if at all.

But hey, we've got Puljujarvi with his deteriorated hips on a tryout and zero-goal Rakell is about to return. Certainly that will help!

Every aspect of the PFO needs to be gutted. From management to coaching to scouting, this team is AHL-caliber.

And another thing.

Drew O'Connor is a net negative on every line he plays on.

He's slow. He's stupid. He's uncreative. He can't handle the puck. He can't shoot.

On a playoff team, he's the 14th or 15th forward, and that's being generous.

Two goals on the year playing almost half the time in the top six.

He's dragged Sid down, he's dragged Malkin down.

Tangradi was better.

Poulin scored tonight. Forget letting him play out December. Bring him and Colin White up. Sign Puljujarvi. Activate Rakell. Demote Harkins, Johnstone, Hinostroza and Shea.

Guentzel-Crosby-Rakell
Smith-Malkin-Puljujarvi
Poulin-Eller-Puustinen
DOC-Carter-White
Zohorna/Gruden

Graves-Letang
Pettersson-Karlsson
POJ-Ludvig
Ruhwedel

Pens also need to go back to the 1-4/1-2-2 passive forecheck and more conservative neutral zone play. They're too dumb to keep playing this aggressively.

It worked to great success against teams like the Avs. You won't win every game with it, but it's well past time to play more conservatively. This team can't win track meets.

I think after last game they are bottom 2 in oddmans against in the league.

IMO, he doesn't have the hockey IQ to play in the top six. He just never seems to read where to be.

But it is what it is. At least we've got Sullivan for another 100 years.

Wonder if we see Pool Party signed now. Cant hurt any more than the other fluff we have out there.

Thing is how or even why? He's on a PTO training with the team, hasn't played a WBS game at all and at this point where do you slot him in?

If you demote Harkins and Gruden, to make room for Rakell back, you still keep up Puustinen on this roster. There is no way Puustinen should be demoted before Dubas waives Gruden, Harkins, or even Hinostroza. Johnstone being up is weird, they played him 1 game for what now feels like some feel good story, then never played again. Acciari and Nieto are on LTIR I think so that's whatever.

At best I would say sign him, have him report to WBS on a conditioning assignment (ideally I would have liked to see him do the PTO and play in WBS for a few games first and then sign him to see how his hip holds up). But also there's the catch that if you sign him, he doesn't last 10 games because of his hip, you get LTIR space, so either way, maybe signing him is just worth it for the LTIR space alone.

Players with that procedure are ticking time bombs, they rarely last 40 games or play ever again. Kane is someone to keep an eye on, oddly enough Backstrom has had this procedure and is basically done (Hagelin had his 4th procedure on his hip and the last one was a resurfacing but his eye injury did him in, that surgery probably would have as well).

Hopefully TBL fires Cooper soon

I feel like Tampa fires Cooper at the end of the season if they miss the playoffs.

I wonder if they promote Joel Bouchard or they go with a veteran coach, Gerard Gallant seems like someone that would be on their radar as well if that were the case.

They're super inconsistent, at first they could have been forgiven with Vas being out for a while but now it's a shot in the dark which version of the Bolts show up, they blow up the Oilers and then lose 4-2 to the Flames.

If I were a betting man, I would wager the problem tonight was that they didn’t get to their game.

Imagine Tampa fires Cooper before the Pens fire Sullivan.

What a world we live in.

Stopped watching at 5- 0

That powerplay where Guentzel got obstruction (weak) to make it 4 on 4 then we got a slashing call (legit)

We killed it but God damn was that weak.

Honestly what a shit show of a night.
