[BusinessGoose]

Ain't no party like a Sullivan party, cause a Sullivan party don't stop!

... Can we maybe not collapse in every third period, though?

5-0 in the third, most dangerous lead in hockey

Would’ve been nice to keep the SO going.

in sully i trust

And just like that, 2 pts out of a playoffs spot baby!!!!

Take that Sullivan haters!!!! lol

Dare I say.... Are we back???

Jokes aside, Rackell, Bunting and Rust had a very good week. These guys have to keep this up so that teams come calling. The only thing is that KD better not change his mind or plan going forward

 

[Malkinstheman]

Longest win streak of the season at 3 wins lol

 

[Rudy Russo]

The fourth line should be Puljujarvi, Hayes, Accari. Call the Sharks or Avs and see if they would want Nieto.

 

[Ryder71]

Sully in perpetuity!

 

[Malkinstheman]

Nieto : 8 GP 0P -5

Really useful player I gotta say

He at least used to be (before pens tenure) like 40 grit sand paper

He's 1200 now

Trade Ned to Carolina tonight.

Fire Sully 3 years ago.

Yeah man, I'm stoked for another rerun of "mad scramble in a vain attempt to make the playoffs resulting in the 14th overall pick". That's my favorite episode, can't watch it enough!

 

[wheelz87]

good win.

You'll get that 14th overall pick with skating issues and like it spalding!

So long as the guy's 5'10, projects to be a bottom-6 PKer, and is from Boston, you got yourself a deal.

Am I being harsh when I say that there was still a lot to dislike in this game? Ned stood on his head in the first. Calgary easily could have had 2 or more. Malkin was a turnover machine, easily could have led to many goals against, including one while the Pens were on the PP.

I like to reference the "Deserve-to-win-o-meter" website, and the Pens were actually only a 55/45 favorite to win based on how the game unfolded. I wouldn't let an unexpected flurry of goals and some good play by Ned fool me into thinking that this was a dominant win. It also helped that Calgary looked disinterested after the first period.

I try not to be a debbie downer, and obviously watching them peel off 3 consecutive Ws is nice to see. But I fear this is a mirage.

They still suck don’t worry. But they have a pulse which is nice.

There is no carry-over game to game, positive or negative.
We lost the opener 6-0 and then won 6-3 the next night.
We had possibly our best game of the season vs the Caps (at the time) and then followed it up with a 7-1 loss to Dallas.

I'd say it's more about not conceding early than anything, since they're weak mentally and that deflates them bad. Once they get into a decent flow they have a chance, but that's often been derailed before it could take place.
Today that post changed the flow.

Not always, but imo it does happen sometimes and especially the longer a winning or losing streak goes. When you get on those six+ game winning streaks you start to feel like you won't lose again and vice versa with a long losing streak.

Teams definitely start building (or losing) belief in those circumstances.

But now we can trade our first on a middling prospect with attitude problems, knowing it's going to be a useless pick for us anyway

It's big brain stuff, I wouldn't expect you to understand

 

[Andy99]

lol…didnt Watch…didn’t expect this either…hope he keeps it up

I trust Mike "Top 3 coach in the world" Sullivan to guide us through this muddy patch in the organization's timeline, that's for sure.

I see Philly Tomato sauced in b2b games.

If only the Pens got to play teams struggling hard more often. Or wait, no, that just keeps Sullitard safe. Can't have that.

Glad to see Bunts increasing that trade value.
