Post-Game Talk: Unfortunately another Penguins game, Jackets taking us closer to lottery odds.

[Honour Over Glory]

So Jackets got 39 shots on net. Penguins were updated to 23 shots.

23 shots on the Jackets.

Bitch and whine about goalies, fine, but getting outshot by the Jackets and not even putting up more than 23 shots? Lol. Sullivan is such a shit coach.

One of the best unintentional tank commanders in the league though this year, goated for that this season.

If Dubas' goal is to tank he's going about it the right way by sending down Blomqvist and keeping Sullivan as head coach

I heart Joel but let's not act like he went down to wbs being 5-0. He was 3-5. The team is shit no matter who we have in net.

This team is absolutely tragic.

 

[Ryder71]

Sullivan coaching at its finest. We went from losing to good teams but beating bad teams, to now just losing to every team whether good or bad.

What a f***ing loser.

How would winning this game help anything in the long run? It's better to lose.

Oh I agree we're shit either way but Blomqvist is/was our best goalie this season. I don't disagree with sending him down, but if the goal was to win he should be up.

The goal obviously isn't to win because they're keeping Sullivan and sending down Blomqvist. And trading Eller for scraps.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The plan is, and has been:

1. Continue to sell tickets and milk the core as long as possible.

2. Accumulate draft picks in a soft rebuild.

3. Give the core the send-off they so obviously asked for.

4. Make the playoffs if possible. Albeit, unlikely. To milk more money.

Basically the same plan as the Pirates.

There was a game tonight?

Someone get an AI image prompt of Sullivan as the tank commander from last crusade

lol…”there was a lot to like about our game in the first two periods”…”OC’s line was really good…they did everything but put the puck in the net”…does he hear himself lol? It’s not like you win games by scoring goals or anything…

Something eerily similar between watching the Penguins play and a 58 year old Mike Tyson box...

Yep, father time is undefeated and the core aged out.

Dubas after Saturday night?

Remember when Pens game threads and post game threads consistently hit 20+ pages? Says a lot about the state of this team that even this forum is mentally checked out.

It's essentially because there's not much to really even discuss at this point. The exact same issues crop up every single game, so we can't even talk about "hopefully they improve in this area next game" or "they just need to fix this area next game" because nothing has changed in like 6 or 7 seasons.

Plus, there's no point talking about changing line combos or utilizing so and so in a different role because that's just re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The fact Sullivan basically will never be fired has sapped probably 90% of this forum's interest in the Pens because, what's the point? Part of being an optimist is believing things can change. But if the organization refuses to change the one area that's so f***ing glaringly obvious, then where's the hope?

Then get Sullivan fired you soft headed wanker.

f*** it just relocate the team to Atlanta.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

And btw yeah Blomqvist was the only bright spot for me and Puljujarvi and Sullivan ruined both. So f*** Sullivan.

So are we getting a hard one for Martone or swaggin for Hagens.

What's our tank motto

 

[Giskard]

+ Mears on the CBJ feed, made my brain feel like we won the game

How long before Sid does the 03-4 Mario thing and says f*** this shit and just LTIRs himself?

Which poster here is going to spoon with Yohe when Sullivan gets shitcanned?

What's most surprising us that there are 6 (SIX) teams behind us in the standings. They have some games in hand tho!

Pens are 5th from last in points %. SJ, Chicago, Nashville, and Montreal are gonna be tough to out tank. But I believe in our tank commanders Sullivan and Jarry.

Its insane cause it feels almost impossible that there are teams worse than whatever on ice product we have now

Lol, that'd be hilarious if he suddenly just ends the season and in the off season we find out...

"Sidney Crosby will be on LTIR for the indefinite future with an ailment that has him allergic to his equipment around Mike Sullivan."

Its insane cause it feels almost impossible that there are teams worse than whatever on ice product we have now

Teams with worse rosters or dumber coaches have beaten the Penguins, we're long past "this team has shit players" and it's just full on Sullivan.

Disorder for Porter

Not down for the rump shakin' for Hagens?
