Post-Game Talk: Pens vs Nucks: Sid dining on sushi tonight

[Wattsburgh]

Imagine making the playoffs and getting swept in the first round. First comment will be why did we trade our best playoff performer…

Great game for Big Puus, stll don't love that they didn't use him more for his one timer on the PP. DOC better not be injured, he's been a horse on the forecheck.

Over the last 3 years you can probably count on two hands the number of one timers attempted on the power play. I don’t think the coach likes them. Maybe too unpredictable or something with how the rebounds shoot out or the puck rings around the boards on misses. The preferred shot is the redirect from the side of the net if there are no cross crease plays available. One timers are pretty much off the table. Especially for a Euro rookie lol.

Redirects from the side of the net or tic-tac-toe goals only. Heaven forbid we establish the shot and make those two options easier.

Big Puusy seems to be having trouble getting off his shot at the NHL level tbh.

If Sully coached the Caps, he would've wrote out Ovi's 1 timer because it's too predictable

At what point do you want to try and win again? It's been over 5 years since their last playoff win and all of their best players are on the wrong side of 30. Keep your core if that makes the fans happy, everybody else that has value should be traded for younger legs and assets.

Think we all know we aint winning the cup, Guentzel or not

Teams would rather make playoffs and get swept

Extra money, plus marketing

The illusion of contending is more important than trying to contend

I don’t mind him being traded and I agree we need assets but I don’t trust the Penguins getting a good return no matter what has been reported. I have to now see it to believe it. Not too mention having a lack of faith in when will those assets ever get a legit chance to play (consistently) with Sullivan as HC.

So yeah it’s easier for me to say just extend him.
