GDT: SEA at PIT Tue Jan 14 @7pm

[vodeni]

We have 7 forwards that are not really good at at least one thing. None of them should be playing. Just bring the entire AHL and let them fly there, and put Jarry on waivers, and fire this coach, that would do it for me

 

[Turin]

Second worst p% in the East, only team worse is Buffalo. Dubas needs to sell hard, this is beyond salvageable.

And they fixed the powerplay!

 

[Andy99]

Yet he doesn’t eviscerate himself or his goaltending lol…what a joker…

 

[farscape1]

I dont understand how the Pens can be this bad and yet the Capitals can be that good.

 

[Turin]

don’t care it was Seattle and they had 16 shots

 

[FlightlessBird]

To make matters worse...

 

[Andy99]

To make matters worse...

Wow…terrible…it probably was Jarry…close as he’ll get to 3 rings

 

[Gurglesons]

To make matters worse...

Jarry in charge of security?

 

[Andy99]

 

[Turin]

To make matters worse...

Tf.

That’s insane.

 

[SEALBound]

Who woulda thunk they couldn't get it done on the shoulders of a goalie sportin a 0.824 sv%.

 

[Andy99]

Waive Jarry…bring up Larsson or Blom..fire the coach…that would be a great start…lol

 

[Pancakes]

Yet he doesn’t eviscerate himself or his goaltending lol…what a joker…

How about asking your $5million dollar a year goalie to make a f-ing save.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Jarry in charge of security?

totally. He's blaming the guard dog.

 

[FlightlessBird]

Also, there was no "annihilation" of the defense. Dejan basically asked if changes need to be made, including players. Sully said something like "the change that has to be made is playing/focusing (I forget which word he used) on defense. We didn't spend a lot of time in our end, but when we did, we didn't play the right way."

 

[the penitent]

Waive Jarry…bring up Larsson or Blom..fire the coach…that would be a great start…lol

Good points all - As for Malkin, hopefully that look in the mirror includes his loafing leading directly to the Oleksiak goal

 

[BusinessGoose]

There's about a 90% chance we outshoot Seattle, like 36-14 and lose 4-2.

Well well well...

 

[Pengu]

This is our future for the next 5 year. It's going to be lots of suffering...
This season is 100% over now

 

[SomeDude]

To make matters worse...

Can’t wait to see how Phil Bourque blames Geno for a lazy effort on security.

 

[Kaptah]

Sending Pulju to AHL seems to have solved all the problems Sullivan had. American boys got the job done.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Dan Bylsma had a higher win % than Mike Sullivan and never missed the playoffs.

Thanks, Dan.

Plus us penguin fans got this during his time as head coach.

Benching Pulju worked again.

Best of luck in WBS!

It's literally just coaching. If we switched coaches the results would be opposite with the same rosters.

Yea, no.

Obviously their coaching is much better, as is the majority of the rest of the league, but their roster is way better than ours.

Their D is vastly superior to ours. They went out and got good players like Chychrun and Roy this summer. Added Sandin last year.

Both their goalies are better than ours.

They took on PLD and Strome as reclamation projects. Let young players like Protas and McMichael not only play, but play bigger roles as they earned it. And still have blue chip prospects like Leonard and Miro waiting to come up.

The Caps have a much, much better roster in every way imaginable than us. They hit on just about all their reclamation projects, but they also moved on quickly from a guy like Kuemper who clearly was a mistake. Meanwhile we’re still trotting Jarry out there and Graves is getting paid bank to sit on his ass.

Caps have threaded the needle of actually rebuilding on the fly. It took a few years of selling, getting lucky with their crappy aging stars LTIRetiring in Backstrom and Oshie, and drafting and trading well. They also have always put a ton of resources into Hershey and their prospects are coming up in a winning environment. We are not in the same class as them.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Okay I think their playoff chances are pretty much cooked now..the teams ahead have 4-5 points more with several games in hand.

Classic Pens to get within 1 point of a playoff spot and then crash and burn again

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Can hardly wait for Jarry to have a regular job.
