I'm tired of Sid sucking ass so far this season. Quit throwing a temper tantrum and start playing like you deserve that $8.7 mil that you should have probably not taken. Thankfully I'm too broke to ever support any of these clowns. They've become as much of a joke as the local Kraken will always be.
This team crumbles with the slightest bit of adversity against good teams. The pens are not built to win defensively. The good teams have big, physical, puck moving dmen. The penguins have none of those. They can't move forwards out from the net front. That makes the goalies job soo much harder not seeing the shots. The season is still young but doesn't look good right now. At least the have 2 prospect dmen that fit the mold in pickering and brunicke.
I'm wondering if putting a "younger" guy like JP18 with Sid might help get him going. I think some of the regular guys are just all pressing so much with how poorly they are all playing. Sometimes putting a player who has some skill and would look to feed/defer to Sid more might help jump start him. I'd put PJ18 DOC with Sid and Rust and Rackell with Geno and see what happens. The overall defense is an absolute embarrassment and it really feels like the players have tuned HCMS out. You almost have to try to look as bad as they were on the Western Canada trip. If Sullivan isn't the coach you want to help usher in this rebuild/retool era then cut him loose now so you can get a head start for your next coach before other teams start firing their coaches
Head coach Mike SUCKagain aka Dan Bylsma 2.0 had Geno on left wing on 87's line at practice instead of Bunting. Looks like Bylsma 2.0 is going to try to get Geno off his game as well. I'm sick of hearing about Sully aka Mike Johnston part 2's system. Do you think Crosby's slow start is because he didn't sign his contract by July or August 8th? Or because the Pens traded his left wing Jake Guentzel for left wing Bunting AND REFUSE TO PLAY BUNTING WITH CROSBY? Bunting and Crosby's slow start could both be cured by putting them on the same line. Bunting--Crosby--Rust/Rakell. Bunting has played 9 games and has 1 assist/point. Last year Bunting: 21GP/6G/13A/19 points. Bunting played with top players in Toronto. Bunting had 63 points in 79 games with Toronto's top players. Head coach Mike SUCKagain aka Dan Bylsma 2.0 will NEVER PLAY BUNTING WITH CROSBY. PLEASE MAKE A BONA FIDE TOP LINE AND GET 87 AND BUNTING GOING.
Yeah they are a bad hockey team and there's no easy fix, I'm starting to think that's just what it comes down to. Honestly I fear it's only going to get worse before it gets better. Might be in for a rough few seasons but I'm still gonna be along for the ride.
For some reason, the media and fans want to give Karlsson a pass at every turn. The guy SUCKS defensively. Whether he’s healthy or not! PLEASE quit giving the guy a pass!
I don't think they're giving him a pass, so much as aware that he is what he has always been...90/10 offense/defense. The problem is that the other defenseman, regardless of who they put there, has been terrible, too.
Looking at the team's stats...their best defensemen are Ryan Graves, Jack St. Ivany, and Ryan Shea. Pettersson looks like a human pylon, Grzelcyk looks lost most of the time, and I think that Letang and Karlsson are getting far too much ice time, and are gassed by the third and OT.
You can't spend all of your money on Forwards every year and let the Defense flounder . And look at their Defense . @ of their highest paid player are offensive Defensemen . Dump Letang . He is on the ice for almost every goal against . This team is falling down the basement stairs .
Guys when too many players are not performing well, the issue is the coach 100% It's not an individual team thing
MASSIVE development. SO happy to have Jesse more often!
My only light is Blomqvist putting up Shesterkin level performances in Edmonton
Yeah, the kid finished up with a .920 Save %, even after giving up four goals...that's how many shots he faced.
Just what I said, Hunter! Thanks.🙏
Sully has needed to go for 2-3 years now. His system is as stale as 7 year old bread
I'm getting tired of seeing Mike Sullivan chewing gum on the bench

The issues are systemic. Systemic issues require systemic solutions.

If ownership does decide to get rid of Sully before Thanksgiving, who do you think they go with? Does Quinn get a shot? Someone else?
I’d personally bring in someone from outside the organization but it would probably be one of the assistants. - Hunter

The guy sucks all around even his personality is shit

Regardless of the result for the Minnesota game, 1st star is gonna be Flower.
They all make too much money! Too many big heads. Playing as individuals!!!

Keep the coach 😂😂😂😂😂
