Sullivan is still figuring the team out, give him time, he'll have them back on track soon.

 

[Gurglesons]

It's wild Mike Sullivan is still employed. Just clueless management at this point.

 

[Sensatauro]

This could get the man canned tbh. This is unacceptable results. Crosby must be crying at night a little bit at representing this mess

 

[LevelingSolo]

Wonder where Sullivan ends up next

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

As a non-Pens fan, why does Sullivan have so much good grace there. I don't even think he's a bad coach and he has 2 Cups but 4 straight first round losses and then missing all together the past 2 years, why is the leash so long, he ran his course 3 years ago. He's not even a Dubas guy lol

 

[DickSmehlik]

Remember when Pens fans were pinning a lot of their problems on Jarry? How is that theory nowadays?

 

[Pancakes]

The Pens have a performance like this every few games where us Pens fans just chuckle and think man this has *got* to be it for Sullivan.

It never is. At this point I feel like the man could sleep with FSG's wives and post about it on social media and they still wouldn't fire him.

Sullivan fired. Monty fired. Sullivan hired (Boston) Monty hired (Pittsburgh) or make it easier and get Todd McLellan

Crosby to NYR

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Team is just not very good.

Two cups plus FSG apparently really likes him. Dubas also likes him.

Why? I don't know. Sullivan has done nothing but lose for FSG/Dubas.

But Hextall also was publicly supportive of him. JR loved him too. At least with JR I get it because him and JR won two cups together. But the loyalty he gets from FSG and Dubas is maddening considering the results he's given them.

If the Pens could also just give Johnston a goal that'd be great

Jarry still sucks. Want him?

Sullivan and the current coaching staff suck much more though.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Kahkonen to Pitt stat.

 

[BallardEra]

Sullivan needs to go but that roster is not very good. An aging core with no good young talent to help them with the heavy lifting.

The D and goaltending is pretty underwhelming.

 

[Dominance]

Crosby is such an insufferable idiot for re-signing with the Penguins when the writing was on the wall. Could have gone to the Avs and played 5+ more years of worthwhile games.

 

[Turin]

Team sucks but it’s not worst defensive team by a mile on paper bad. Can only point to coaching at this point.

 

[SladeWilson23]

The Stars scored as many points in one period as the Cowboys did in their whole game.

 

[Romang67]

Allowing 6 goals against in the first period leaves plenty of time for that sweet elusive 6 goal comeback game.

Seems a bit harsh

Part of the reason Sullivan is still here is (allegedly) because Sid still wants him here

I can’t believe he still believes that but…

I mean, some people are just loyal by their nature. I wouldn't blame Sid for wanting to stay in Pittsburgh. It's the team management that sucks horse's ass these days.

Coaching obviously being a part of that problem.

The guy Dubas traded 1 for 1 for Denis Malgin has 4 points already
