Keep on tanking. Play POJ next game.

Hope they don’t cancel practice tomorrow. Taking my wife for her birthday. We used to go when they were at southpointe.

Hilarious that Sully's idea of an in-game adjustment is taking Cody Glass off of 4C where he belongs, and putting that three-goal, 11-assist piece of shit back with Evgeni Malkin. That'll fix things.

It's gonna be a rough couple of years.

Will be rough as long as we have Mike Sullivan employed.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Well I didn't get the couple of points from Sid, but a regulation loss--and an embarrassing one at that--is fine by me.

Trade Rakell, trade Ned, work the phones for EK to see if it makes sense to deal him in season or wait until July.

Just keep losing, dorks.

Agreed. Every morning I wake up and see that the Pens lost, preferably big and embarrassing, is a good morning right now. Better draft pick and every embarrassing loss increases the chance of Sullivan getting fired by 0.000000000000001%. We are still not at 1%,, but still.

When Ryan Shea is your shining light on defense . . .

 

[cookthebooks]

nothing like an utter humiliation by your equally awful cross state rivals to throw some cold water on your face a week ahead of the trade deadline

It is hilarious to think like a week and a half ago people were entertaining the idea that Sully isn't washed.

People still are, you can go to the Pens reddit sub if you want a good laugh.

I don't know how people even watch this Pens team any more, I fast forward most of the games and they still feel like a waste of time. Yes, the roster sucks but you can get 18 random skaters from the AHL and they would play better defense than ours... with proper coaching that is. The Penguins haven't had proper defensive structure for years now, except for brief flashes in the pan when the goalie is in the zone, there is an injury crisis or something else has caused the team to actually play some hard and more importantly smart defense.

It's like they think they are still a star-studded team that can outscore everyone, so they should take it easy on defense most nights. It's getting more bizarre by the minute since the roster becomes ever weaker, yet the effort is ever more lackadaisical and it really doesn't seem like they are tanking on purpose. More like stumbling and falling into the tank head first, so to speak.

Interested to see how the Pens propaganda machine spins this to make Sully the victim.

If you are a Sully fanboy, you could argue no coach would win with this current pathetic group of players or goaltending.

Sullivan is being let down by the depth players he had a hand in signing because he wanted to employ two fourth lines and a neutered line 2, all in the name of playing low event hockey and “good” defense, which never materialized. I feel sooooo bad for him!

Equal treatment to Tomlin

Quarterback=goalie

“No one would win with this group”

“Who would you replace sully with if you fired him?”

“Sully would find a job in ten seconds if you fired him”

The last one is my favorite.

 

[Icarium]

Sully would find a job in ten seconds if you fired him

All the more reason to fire him since that way we won't have to pay him his full salary...

 

[Smasher]

I miss watching meaningful Penguins hockey

 

[Khelandros]

I'm glad the Penguins are back to being a 1st shot 1st goal team. Those last few games where it was 2nd or 3rd shot goals just didn't feel right.

Remember, Ned is here for another year.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

this might get sully fired. Maybe not tonight. Maybe not tomorrow. But someday

“Later that night he set sail for the unemployment office….”

(I wish)

One of the Penguins’ veterans didn’t believe that effort was the problem.

“I don’t think so,” Kevin Hayes said. “Every guy in this room gives their best effort every night.”

In the immortal words of Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The important thing is that you believe that.

If that’s the case, then the Penguins’ problems might be even bigger than anyone realized.

What do you mean if, Yohe, just a few days ago you confidently stated that the Pens always play hard because, you know, Sullivan is a genius.

The guys in front of me are playing really well.

Come on, Ned, I know you can't throw your teammates under the bus especially after this kind of performance by you but if this "playing really well", I wonder how they would need to play for you to describe it as "bad".
