[Invalid cuz QoC]

G saves sully. 1 pt vs sharks is the best you can hope for nowadays lol.

 

[Gurglesons]

I'm at the point where I was rooting against us to win tonight. But happy for Geno.

 

[Andy99]

Can’t believe Geno won this Shoot out…why bub?

 

[Pancakes]

Bad result for both teams lol

 

[Turin]

That's about as meaningless of a win you could pull off. Well done

 

[SomeDude]

Was really hoping for a Geno heel turn and he just slapped it into the boards and walked off the ice flicking Sully off.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Lol, this dumpster fire is only like 2 points out of the wildcard.

 

[Extra Texture]

Geno saves Sully job for another week.

Lets be honest, that heroic, dig deep, big balls win against a lottery team probably bought him another 2 months

 

[spfan]

We blew a 3 goal lead against a terrible team, but came up clutch. Sully 3 more years.

 

[MeinerEiner]

It’s the hope that fire Sully after a loss. I have the same hope

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Ummm ..... yay?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

That Sid shootout goal was nasty

 

[Extra Texture]

Was really hoping for a Geno heel turn and he just slapped it into the boards and walked off the ice flicking Sully off.

lol, I was actually imagining exactly the same thing, wind up from the blueline with an aimless shot, followed by going straight down the tunnel

He looked absolutely f***ing joyless after having scored

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm happy that Pickering got his first point and Bunting is making himself more tradeable with him playing well.

That's about all I care about with this game

 

[BillyOcean]

Even the wins are embarrassing

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I could have been watching something more entertaining. Like the council meetings on public access television.

Yep, he hasn’t fully been indoctrinated in Sullivan’s excellent defensive system yet…

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

This has been my favorite sporting franchise for 35 years, but this team is brutal to watch. The players seem more miserable than the fans

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Ned looked drunk during the shootout

Flopping around like an epileptic fish

 

[Al Smith]

I could have been watching something more entertaining. Like the council meetings on public access television.

CSpan's ratings are increasing with Pens' demise. Coincidence?

I guess I'm one of the few that is happy to see them win tonight. The team is so bad that it will lose more than their fair share of the last 3/4 of the season, but Sully will likely not be canned unless they kick him upstairs.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Owen Pickering is everything we need on the blueline and nothing we don't. If he is the one who sits when Letang returns next game, I give up. Ryan Shea is hot garbage. I could not figure out what they see in this guy, until I read his bio and saw that Shea was born in Milton, Massachusetts. The mafia is a thing, folks.

If Beauvillier keeps this up, we might be able to get a mid-round pick for him. Good on him for turning things around.

This lineup looks way more interesting now because they have a third line that can actually be a threat to score. Puljujarvi and Poulin play well together. And O'Connor does not look out of place at center. Again, if he keeps playing like this, we might get something for him too.

We can ONLY win games if Jarry is not in goal. How are we ever going to be rid of that contract? We need to make a reverse-Dubois trade. I don't know if it is out there.

Not surprised Puustinen was scratched, but a bit surprised Graves sat. I don't think he is having a bad season. I don't want this to turn into a situation where he too becomes untradeable. If anything, he needs to play more not sit out.

Now, who is to blame for the consistent blown leads this season? MOST markets would blame the head coach. Not this market, though. Nope. It must be the players. It must be Dubas. I am sure if you asked the coach, he would blame Ponomarev for puck over glass.

Maybe one day, we will wake up and there will be accountability back in Penguins land.

 

[MeinerEiner]

Mike Sullivan confirms both Ryan Graves and Valtteri Puustinen were healthy scratched in favor of Owen Pickering and Vasily Ponomarev.

Sullivan called it a result of “an accumulation of events over time. … Performance matters.”

lol, since when?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Kind of appropriate that there is not post game thread.

This 'win' deserves pretty much that lack of caring.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Even the wins are embarrassing

Serously.

Way to go, Sullivan. Your team blew a 3-goal lead to one of the worst teams in hockey and eeked out a SO win.

What a useless turd this guy is.

 

[The GM]

Some serious sticktouideness tonight to pull that one out
