DK’s Daily Shot of Penguins: How to fix it, Mike?

16 comments

1. Keep preaching Sullivan isn’t the problem though. I haven’t even hit play but I’m sure it will be an excuse fest like always

2. So they can’t defend with Letang and Karlsson but it’s not coaching? Man I’m glad I hit play. What is the change needed then dk? You can’t blame Jeff Carter anymore so what is it?

3. DK, why did management and Sully allow these players to be on the team if they are deficient? Who's to blame for that? And regarding Letang and Karlssohn, who's to blame for THEIR poor play?

4. If memory serves… at the end of each of our previous 2 head coaches tenure.

   They also began grasping at straws too.

   Every single one of them. Tried putting Sid and Geno on a line together before their eventual firing soon after.

   I think its pretty obvious, the players are done with sully.

   Rip the bandaid off. Its been a long time coming.

   Get a coach who doesnt value these old ass vets that have no place even playing in todays, young, fast, and skilled game.

   The fact that Puusty didnt even make the team after watching him & DOC did is insane.

5. I think it's very funny that the coach that we got in from San Jose had the worst team last year. And now, all of a sudden, we have the worst team this year.
   So it is the coaching. All the coaching staff has to go.
   The players are not listening to the coaches. The system is not working any more

6. Didnt even watch bc i cant stand the Fleury circlejerk

7. DK – I guess I can just look it up but since you’re on the inside most of the time maybe you’ll have a better answer than what I can find on the internet – but do NHL teams have any (or at all) cognitive training during the season ? like I know drills during practice & working on the powerplay(looks 200% better than last year’s) & on penalty kill (looks great) & 3on3, etc. are paramount . but how often do they use practice time for making the right decisions with or without the puck in a more detailed or should I say it – analytic approach while at practice or even actually off the ice .
   or do more teams do it more than others ? I think that’s the major problem with our favorite team …
   even one of the greatest players in hockey history (so far this year )
   I’m thinking … “like why’d he do that ?!” – & of course most of the others (defenseman mostly)
   there’s so many tools at these guys’ disposal compared to the Mario Days – I’m thinking a more perspicacious training is in dire need for this team WHOLESALE
   there must be experts out there

8. This is only the beginning of what’s to come they’re playing almost as bad as pre-90 penguin hockey

9. Enough with the excuses and the sugar coating. Sullivan has to go! You just said it yourself, he tells the players but they don't listen. He has lost the locker room. Lost it years ago

10. Coach does his best with what he’s given . He’s been given SHIT to work with .

11. So you're saying that we need to live by the definition of insanity, just keep doing what we're doing hoping for a different result. Just keep the coach keep the system Keep On Keepin On yeah that's a great idea

12. Ya cant fire the players. Great nhl coaches get fired all the time. What do you have to lose? Might piss off sid tho

13. 2nd to last in standings for the entire league

14. The Malkin and Crosby line were responsible for 2 of the three goals. So much for it not working. Fleury must retire a Pen

15. Same shit different day same bs from our pathetic outdated coach ,.,, enough already ….sully gotta go ….its just insanity at this point…

16. Should have never got Karlsson I was begging them not to
