Comparing the Penguins’ future to those who have gone through it, as well as three underlying causes with one overarching theme. From the roster construction to coach Mike Sullivan, we lay it bare.

I’ve been saying it for years. They need elite players that can carry the mail not roll players now. They need to go after marner and or rantenin next year. And fill their bottom six with these young prospects they have and see where it goes.
For road games, Zoom h4n is a good portable recording device. Zoom podtrak 4 isn't bad either, but you would need to bring a mic and cable too for that one.
I get the notion that Dubas should have tailored personnel decisions to meet Sully's system, but doesn't Sully also have a responsibility to use the players he's given in a way that maximizes their strengths and mitigates their weaknesses?
He's like a band that only knows how to play one type of song, and the first two albums were great, but now we're on number five and no one is listening anymore.
I am surprised to be the 1st comment. Thought your summary was great. Kind of reminds me of the type to expect after the last game of the season ::( I think Dubus brought in the kinds of players we already had but didnt need instead of the kinds of players we actually needed.I do think that if you want to play a speed game, you need speed. The Pens seem to be behind the play most of the game on old legs.
My plan is to enjoy and be grateful for our big 3 while they are still here and watch the young players like Pickering develop. I just cant see the Big 3 in other sweaters but not sure how they want to linger much longer on the Pens and take the physical abuse much more for not much reward
