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

[Honour Over Glory]

Jarry feeling good about himself thinking ok I can bounce back and get traded, it's best for all of us, then he comes up and plays behind a shit show and turns into a shit show again and is probably at home like...

Telling himself "I can just go on LTIR, they'll buy me out in the summer, I made enough, farming is more fun anyway..."

-edit- God damn, I hope they lose to the Sharks. Please lose to the Sharks. That would be f***ing hilarious.

Good to see Sullivan and Quinn figured the defensive part of the game out. Really impressive numbers.

In consideration what kind of players Sullivan likes and how successful the PK has been in the last few years it is really shocking to see how bad the Pens are defensively.

Take Karlsson out of that group. He’s going out like he played his entire career, a loser.

What a colossally bad trade by Dubas.

Incredible how he traded a 1st+2nd for EK65 ($40 mil over 4 years) and gave another $54 million to Jarry and Graves, all in his first month with this org.

Idk man, I got tired of ragging on Sully (been doing it for like 5 years now) I'm on the Dubas hate train now.

Man, are we be punked or something? I know all sports fans complain about their coach but this is getting absurd. Im just genuinely confused

Were you not confused when the chairman of FSG came out and said Sullivan was a top-2 coach in the NHL only a month ago?

Sully is the single most protected person in this org besides maybe Sid.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Yeah, I dunno man. The PGTs are so sparse because there's nothing to talk about. Nothing to pick apart.

Oh, Sullivan's line combos and TOI distribution were idiotic? Team defense was a shitshow? Goaltending was shaky or downright bad? Nobody on the Pens could finish their chances? Sullivan said in the post game that he liked a lot of what the team showed tonight, but one breakdown happened and things just got away from them?

Copy and paste every night for the past two-plus years and you've got good odds to be right on the money.

By the TDL, trade Petts. Trade DOC and Bunting if you can. Fire Sullivan on April 18th. Draft your top-5 pick and hope you luck into Martone or Misa somehow. Bring in Sid and Geno and ask them if they want to retire here knowing they're gonna be on tanking teams, or if they want to be dealt to have a chance to compete again before retirement; honor whatever their wish is. Trade Rust, Rakell and EK during the summer. Tank for McKenna. Turn the page. /shrug

Just kidding, I don't give a shit.

 

[Pens x]

The attendance numbers have to be hurting, right?

I honestly have no desire to go. It is not because they are bad, but the team is run, owned and coached by people I have grown to hate.

We have a coach that should have been fired after the covid playoffs, a GM that has no f***ing clue what he is doing and an ownership group that doesnt give a crap.
