I actually thought he might score there just to piss off these boards but apparently his suckitude was too much to even properly troll us

There's no way Harkins would be able to successfully shit in his own ass. He'd miss the net.

hahaha

Rutherford quitting and Hextall/Burke getting hired was the parting gift from Lemiuex and Burkle.

FSG didn't come on until later.

Got my events mixed up. Thanks.

Blaming Hextall for a coach that was already prioritizing shitty players and misusing good ones is a narrative Rossi and Yohe wanted to push super hard. It started under JR and he even knew his power was done and the coach had it and bounced. Hextall knew as well and couldn't fix a problematic coach that negotiated his own extension with ownership.

Dubas is now looking like a f*** up as well. Even the greatest GM could be hired and if he can't fire the coach, would have the same issues.

At one point the Pens cared about winning as an organization and not wasting Sidney Crosby but those days are long since past

wasting what exactly? A top 20 player?
Who f****g cares. A bunch of those guys don't make the playoffs.
And BTW Sid insisted on bringing back 71 (hasn't scored in a month) and 58 (gave away game yesterday). And loves Sully.

Time to acknowledge reality. There isn't juice in this team. One logical path.

I’m more excited to watch the Pirates this year than the Pens limp dick finish.

God damn Harkins.....sealed our fate for the comeback.

 

[Will Hunting]

Tanking this season is actually f-ing terrible unless the Pens end up winning the lottery and picking top 3 because then San Jose gets our unprotected first next season and can I see a show of hands here at anyone who thinks this team won't be picking top 10 again next year?

Just brutal. brutal brutal.

So, do you think that finishing one point behind the playoffs is better? Or miraculously losing in R1? This team is so old, so broken, so mentally weak. They would never win a playoff overtime, if it ever happened. Let alone playoffs series or game 7. Just losers, finding excellent ways to lose. Not with this coaching staff. This is the best possible outcome, easily.

Unfortunately, his chance ends up going wide.

If we’re done we need to call up Hellberg and sign Sparks to an NHL deal and do a proper tank. Like when the Caps called up Yeats down the stretch in 04.

The thing is, you might be right about there not being enough juice left.

But there's only one way to be sure about that and that is to fire the coach and see if the team still sucks after doing so.

But they refuse to do it.

Maybe they do suck and maybe replacing Sullivan doesn't do jack shit. But you have to f-ing try. Otherwise, what are we even doing here?

Sully also f***ed Ned. I stated several times this f***ing doesn't understand how a rotation works to his benefit at all. Ned hasn't played any during this western trip and he is thrown in vs the Oilers after not playing for over a week?

Pure idiocy. The last game Ned played was Feb 20th.

I don't get how anyone defends Sullivan for anything. You have to be so low in IQ to think he isn't the biggest issue.

I'd watch if this was Sullys last game, but lol we are the only team in the NHL that keeps their coach when they suck.

Right now I'm not even comfortable in saying the Pens will beat the Jackets at home Tuesday

If they would sign one more decent pitcher, like Bauer and had Keller, Bauer and Skenes in the rotation, they might have something this year

I'm just really worried that this team will end up picking like 8th, keep the pick, and then next year they'll pick top 5 but lose it to SJ.

If I'm the Pens I'd have to think seriously hard about keeping the pick if it's outside the top 5 range.

Because given the age of this team and their refusal to fire Mike Sullivan it feels like there's an entirely real possibility that they pick top 5 next year.

It doesn't matter. They should have replaced Sullivan years ago and given it a try. It's done. The hole this year is too big and the team is going to be terrible with Malkin/Letang/Crosby/Karlsson age regression next year.

I hate Mike Sullivan but there is no path where we are a contender again. So please do both. Fire Sully and blow it up.

See, this is why you shouldn't watch baseball. Rots your brain.
