GDT: Return of the Flower!! Wild @ Pens 7pm, SN Pittsburgh

[Ugene Magic]

your a big boy, you can handle it.

I can, it's the effort and all.

That's something most of you wouldn't understand.

That 2026 NHL Draft lotto is the more important one, imo. People have been talking McKenna up for years at this point.

This year Porter Martone and next year Gavin McKenna. Both looked great at the IH tournament last spring

 

[Darren McCord]

I truly don't expect the Penguins to do anything significant during the season, other than trading Pettersson at the deadline.

The offseason is a different story. I'm sure everyone will be skeptical of this statement, but I would be surprised if Mike Sullivan is the coach of this team next season if the Penguins end up one of the worst teams in the NHL this year. Even FSG won't accept that.

Why wait? Keeping him is dumb. He will literally tank the value of any trade asset they have.

So hard to get first overall now. Wish it was like the old days.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Dubas could sign Mcdavid and when he struggles under Sullivan, would be blamed for ruining the team.

This is how stupid it is here sometimes.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Does it matter now?

In 2019 the window was wide open.

Today? Closed like a miser's wallet.

That was what I meant. Fire or keep Sully. It is fairly meaningless until they genuinely start a rebuild.

A great coach might be the difference of missing the playoffs by two games or twenty. Who cares? They are out of the playoffs and have zero chance if they lucked in.

And they don't have young talent to develop. Not much anyways.

So, wake me up when they stop the charade and begin an actual rebuild.

Why wouldn't it matter? You fire guys because they suck at their jobs. In Sully's case, you get rid of him because he refuses or simply cannot coach youth. Keep him far away from the next crop of top prospects this team's gonna be drafting sooner than later.

This team's cooked. We agree. That's why it's important to get this dude, his systems, and his overall approach to what matters in hockey players outta here.

Firing sully is the actual first step to a rebuild. Starts with removing him

He is the losing culture on this team

Not that hard with our lineup and coach!! Jarry plays all 82 games we should be good!!

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

The Pens are pulling one last prank in honor of MAF!

 

[WickedWrister]

Ok a little life

 

[The Old Master]

I don't like losing knowing it does nothing to put the coach on the hot seat. It ruins the fun for me.

i don't like losing.

 

[WickedWrister]

Great shift by Sid and L1

 

[Jaded-Fan]

If you all agree:

1. We are cooked, window closed.

2. Need a rebuild.

Sully is the perfect coach to tank with and assure a turn to a rebuild sooner.

Do you think that any of the core will want to stay if this continues?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Padding stats by Ricky Raks.

Still lose tho you dipshits.

 

[End of Line]

A goal? No way

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Perfect, Rackell and Petts raising their value!!

 

[Andy99]

Rackell doing what he can to save Sullivan’s job…unfortunately lol

More like playing well enough to help Dubas liberate him.

He’s on a journey from Milan to Minsk

 

[Jacob]

Petts should get us a 2nd and Eller a 3rd at least at or near the deadline.

Sully is the perfect coach to permanently put the team in a dark place by instituting a losing culture. Look at Edmonton. Not even mcdavid can pull them out. He was close but look at them again

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Fire him now and run with an interim coach while you search/wait for your preferred target to become available. /shrug

Also because I'd like to see Mike Sullivan being sad.

I feel like before GM's pull the trigger they have a shortlist already ready to go.

Respect? f*** Sully.
