Pittsburgh spot Dallas 6 goals in the first period

[ItWasJustified]

Signing Karlsson was a pretty big mistake. Should have gone with a sid and Malkin led youth movement. Seems they refuse to rebuild as long as sid is still there. People always think it's the coach but it's usually the players.

Trading for Karlsson wasn't a mistake. Continuing to play Letang more minutes than Karlsson is. Sullivan can't get the fact that Letang is at the best a #3 into his thick head.

I mean the dude has 3 cups already and another one isn't going to change much for him legacy wise.

Maybe he has pride in being a one club man like Yzerman and Sakic.

Idk...i don't think settling for any amount of championships is ever the way to go about it. Especially for an all-time great player. The more the better. If you have the opportunity to go after more Cups then why wouldn't you?

The Caps are doing what Pittsburgh should have done

We just lost to the pens Somehow we are feeling shame from this beat down

 

[Honour Over Glory]

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

Werner, one of the FSG dorks that owns the team and Henry, absolutely love Mike Sullivan. There all Massholes and have probably blocked Sullivan from being fired several times.

Dubas is likely just letting FSG see their boy is a dipshit and hopefully allows him to fire Sullivan.

That's the hope. There's been multiple games where you'd think this was it and yet he survives.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Kyle Dubas is the most overrated hockey person in quite some time. He came into a hole and just kept digging.

Lol this is about Sullivan and the typical Dubas glazers show up to hate on him when this isn't about Kyle. It's about Mike Sullivan and he remains only because hes very close to the ownership. If you think Dubas could fire him without approval from FSG, you lot are dumber than anything Kyle's done as a GM.

We just lost to the pens Somehow we are feeling shame from this beat down

Pens didn't play well to beat the Caps, the Caps played so poorly the Pens won. Simple as that.

Remember when they signed Karlsson some people on this site actually thought they could be a legit Cup threat again.......

Still mad about the 2009 revenge and hand shake line huh?

Lol

Remember when they signed Karlsson some people on this site actually thought they could be a legit Cup threat again.......

Remember when none of that happened because he was traded for, not signed

Also not many of us thought that would do a damned thing. Sullivan needed to go even after that trade.

You think Sid owes the Penguins a dime after two decades?

You're moving the goal posts. You were calling him an insufferable idiot for staying. HE is choosing to stay and you were insulting him for it.
He's staying for loyalty and legacy, and your post made it look like you have no visceral understanding of either.

 

[BB88]

At what point does Pittsburgh actually embrace a rebuild? Even if Crosby hangs around til he retires like Lemieux did they don’t have enough to do much aside from maybe stealing a wild card spot

There are just no moves that could make them contenders during Crosby era again but they’ll never admit it and will go all in just to get to a WC spot. Which is going to be very difficult as well during what’s left of Crosbys time with the Pens


They are in the worst spot in the entire league and will be for a long time

The "Dubas and Sullivan Invitational" still has 9 rounds left to go.

Letang is chasing down Drew O'Connor!

Lol this is about Sullivan and the typical Dubas glazers show up to hate on him when this isn't about Kyle. It's about Mike Sullivan and he remains only because hes very close to the ownership. If you think Dubas could fire him without approval from FSG, you lot are dumber than anything Kyle's done as a GM.

So, do you think this team is better under another coach? How much better we talking here? I don't think they're a good roster either way.

I also don't understand how Sullivan has survived so long. I think there's a world where Sullivan doesn't fit his roster anymore and Dubas still stinks.

 

[Ulysses31]

franchise seems to like n respect sullivan but isnt it fair to say its not working anymore? why not move him to diff. role within organization?

 

[BallardEra]

The Penguins returned from a three-game road trip on Monday night, which saw them pick up a win over the Washington Capitals but they also lost the first two games of the trip to the New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes.

"I think we played some good periods of hockey this week. On that trip, I thought we did a lot of good things," Crosby later added. "I don't think this game is a sign of how we've played lately, so it's frustrating.

"When you look at wins and losses, we're not where we want to be, but I think leading up to this, we were doing a lot of good things, so if you're asking about our identity, I think what we showed on that trip and previous to that, was a team that works, that's in the other team's face and that's tough to play against when we're all playing together."

'Not where we want to be': Penguins' slow start comes to a head after blowout loss to Stars

Miro Heiskanen scored two of Dallas' six first-period goals, and the Stars beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-1 on Monday night.

realistically, how many "The Penguins are bad" threads can the main boards maintain at the same time? lol.

 

[Tryblot]

Penguins are so bad I'm honestly shocked there are 7 teams below them in the standings. I want a top 5 pick

Don't worry. The league is just waiting for the next franchise changing player to come along to gift to the penguins. Has the crowd stopping showing up yet? That needs to happen first, then threaten to move the franchise. That's when you'll get your player.
