They messed up trading Yager
That one interview alone should tell anyone with even half a brain that Sullivan should have gone years ago. But yeah lets just keep Sullivan and keep giving him excuses and outs
Pens looking more and more like the pirates everyday from top to bottom, prove me wrong !!!
It baffles me how everyone else can see who is holding this team back but management seems blind to it. So frustrating.
Grzelcyk can't defend. That's a serious problem. Yeah nice that he can move a pick up ice. Know who else could really excel at that? Dumoulin in his last year. He lost the ability to defend well along the way but Sullivan kept trotting him out top pair with Letang….
Good old Dumbas and Skully doing what won’t work again knowing it won’t work but doing it anyway!
I’ve had about enough of the Quinny winnies and grizzy wizzies these men do not deserve nicknames
You want a name? How about a couple… PeeWee Herman, Danny Bonaduche, Oprah, Alf…. pretty much ANYBODY ELSE!
Expect more frustration vs the Jets, hope for a few bright moments (maybe #600).
Standard is the Standard
8:26 the fans want a coach who will adapt a system around what the Penguins have. Everybody is upset bc it seems like Sully has a system and refuses to adapt it to THIS team. Nobody cares if the coach yells or not?? We care about 2 on 1's, 3 on 0's, blown leads, short handed goals, bad PP, etc
Gerard Gallant
Grzelcyk should have been Harrison Brunicke on this roster
Its like we care more about the pens winning than they do
Rick Tocchet!
The most disappointing team has been Nashville. A lot of people picked them to be a top 5 or nearly top 5 team in the league. Pittsburgh was expected to miss the playoffs.
Why would Montgomery take the Pittsburgh job? He’s getting paid regardless. His best move would be to relax this season and take the best available job this upcoming summer. There will be 6-10 jobs available … because there always are … and if Pittsburgh is one of them, it will be one of the least desirable jobs on the list.
Its amazing how many people.cry for a rebuild, they get a rebuild and cry why aren't we winning? Smh
Exactly !!!! What games are you watching Sully!?! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
If hockey is a business, and its about winning, just on that Sully should be gone. But every year he has shoved something down our throats that simply doesn't work and refuses to deviat from it. This year its the Grzeleck experiment, how many years did we watch Carter on the ice, the numbers showed he shouldn't of been there. Or when the numbers showed Rust at times was really bad or recovering from injury and getting all top minutes, or how about Domink Simon, the least offensively talented guy in the league with Crosby!!! How about last year's PP, Sullivan said they don't coach that, they let the players figure it out….WHAT! WTF! One guy really comes to mind…….Jared McCaan…….the skating, the shot, can pass and possess the puck, was never really given a chance and was expected to put up numbers on the 3rd and 4th line. Its amazing how certain players get choked out in this system and essentially get buried and sent packing, even Granlund's numbers this year have him leading the penguins in scoring? On day one, Sullivan writes down a plan A & B, that plan either has Rust on line one or line two…………and that's it. He may not have the team to win a cup, but he has the team to play competitve hockey, but he refuses to evolve, refuses to move relationships aside and put the hot hand forward. I'll tune into tonight's game, I'll watch the Jets dismantle Letang and Grzelyck, I'll watch Karlsson pinch and play no defense, I'll watch a goalie hung out to dry, but here's something for everyone else to watch. The Jets will have Connors, Sceffelie, and Ehlers for their line one….we will have Sid………..and Rust & Beullivre, really? Seems like a mismatch from the start!
At this point, I'm convinced Sullivan could club a seal pup at center ice and he still wouldn't lose his job. Watching this team now—from the players to management, all the way up to the top of FSG—is like watching someone try to eat soup with a fork.
Speaking of Jim Montgomery. When the Bruins lost in the first round a couple years ago, Jim Montgomery was getting a lot of blame for the loss. Linus Ullmark's reply was: "Something that everybody does when things aren't going the way they want to is they're trying to find a scapegoat." Sounds very familiar doesn't it?
