Out of all the f***in players to be waived, they choose Kap. The sacrificial lamb has been slain so now everything will be better.

If they wanted to send a message they would've waived Big Jeff...but then again you probably can't waive a guy with an iron clad NMC
LOL

They aren't sending a message. They waived Kapanen because they need to in order to activate Rutta, and Kapanen is the player they like the least in the lineup.
If they didn't need to clear cap space to play Rutta Kap would still be here.

Typical square peg in the round hole move by GM/HC Sullivan.

Reading about this Kapanen move like...
No, its not the end of the world. But its just another bizarre move from a GM who put himself in this spot in the first place. And yeah, it has a sacrificial lamb type feel to it, where its an attempt to show "accountability" for a failing roster by chucking a player who wasnt the problem. At least, I have to hope its some type of "Change for the sake of change" move, because if this is some precursor to trading for Luke Schenn, I'm going to go postal.
BTW, for all the "buck stops here" talk about how Kapanen hasnt fulfilled his potential with the Pens, stuff like this and giving him 5 minutes of ice time when he was actually producing didnt help

Agreed this just irrelevant news of the day level shit. I could gave 2 shits for a f*** one way or the other about Kapanen, but it was clear Sullivan never liked the guy since day one and just decided to run him out of town like he did with other guys who probably said something derogatory about his mother.

Could've waived anybody, they all deserve it. Next fire the coach if ownership doesn't laugh in your face when you inform them.

"The Pittsburgh Penguins have placed headcoach Mike Sullivan on waivers. If he clears, he will start a conditioning stint with the Wheeling Nailers."
The part I don't get is why not Ruhwedel and Henien off to waiver wire with him? If you want to cut ties to dead weight cut off majority of it in one quick swoop. The f*** have have the other 2 schmucks done to deserve a space on the roster as well?

They absolutely are sending a message. Kap was the scapegoat the day he was signed.
Why did they choose Kap? They could have done it to McGinn, Heinen, Ruh or about a 5 other names.
This is f***ing hilarious... our only move is to waive Kap. That 6-1 beating was just him? Holy shit...
I don't think Hextall is sleepy just paralyzed by making any meaningful decision.
I think we can all agree... this team is toast this year. Sully and Hex ain't fixing it this year, and if they are together next year... we are toast.

"I'm hearing word that GM Ron Hextall attempted to fire head coach Mike Sullivan today, and upon calling ownership to inform them, the investors told him to, quote, 'eat shit bozo' before they sent security in to give Hextall a wedgie, a swirly, and an awful waffle."

I mean, if I'm him. I fire the coach. If they don't let me, I resign... he's taking the blame either way.
He can write his own exit and go back to an Ass. GM position somewhere else.

Hahah... I stopped at 6-1 there is only so much shit backing up in the toilet that I can take. You guys get medals for finishing that game.It was actually 7-2
Watching that horrible defensive alignment get constantly cycled on because of Sully's "Halves" defense or our PP that literally can't f***ing score but the other team literally waltzes in untouched firing shot after shot...
A goalie who looked shell-shocked from the speed/angles they were shooting at.
but Kap. (I don't give a shit about Kap but we have 10 other problems)

We've got a coach who coaches to what he wants, not to what he has.
Reaves was not what we needed. That’s an example of chasing physicality and not talent.It's been seven years, of course some of Sullivans BS would seep through and be internalized by the organisation and fans alike.
JR tried to bring in what was needed with Reaves but the baboon refused to play ball. Now we have a fully tranquilized and Sullynized roster and people still complain...
I guess some are just never happy.
I’ve never been to NY. Don’t understand why everyone wants to go there. Seems crowded and expensive.
It absolutely feels like Hextall is prepping for a Luke Schenn trade.Reading about this Kapanen move like...

It was because of what I said. They had to clear space and Kap is the player they think is most expendable.

A real jerk thing
NYC is cool. living in lawn guyland like most of these guys will do is dumb and stupid.
if I had NHL'er money I'd have a condo in a fun part of Manhattan and live my dreams.

Then why even mention it in the presser? Everything about this team is just the worst this year.

I live close enough to NY.
It's that, plus the streets, even in the most upscale neighborhoods, smell like vomit, piss, trash, and homeless people.

I lived in NY for a couple of years. The food is amazing, and there's obviously tons to do. Those are the main attractions to me.
It is crowded and expensive and not a place you want to own a car. All good reasons to not want to live there.
