I bet you're right. Just watch, they'll go on a winning streak in March, ruin their chance at a high pick, and still miss the playoffs by a point or two. Literally the worst thing that could happen for this team, but I could 100% see it happening.
Goals against: Sharks 1st, 196 goals against. Pens 2nd, 191 goals against. Goal Differential: Sharks 32nd or worst, -57, Blackhawks 31st or next, -42, Pens are 30th or 3rd worst at -40. When you look at the standings 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th worst are Anaheim, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and Utah. It makes sense why we lose to these teams. Utah: 49pts, Pens: 48pts, Kraken 47pts, Ducks 46pts. Everybody has games in hand on the Pens. YIKES! Top 5 Lottery Team!
I'm a longtime Sullivan defender, but I didn't like his response to your very reasonable question the other night. You were doing your job. He should be grateful there is any media coverage of this team given how they've performed lately.
Some were on my side, some were on his. Not a big deal. We did our jobs normally today. I wished him congratulations on his new grandchild. I don't mind when sports get emotional. I flubbed the Q from how I should have asked it. He reacted. All good.
I believe the Penguins may have philosophically evolved to where they appreciate the transitory nature of things and the relative meaninglessness of winning vs losing. They are actually in a good place: enjoying the game they love but feeling no special need to win.
Pierre McGuire said on the radio today that he knows for a fact that ownership told Dubas to "win now as long as 87, 71, and 58 are here." Uhh, if that's the mandate from ownership then Dubas is failing miserably.
Only player in history to record more than 100 points after the age of 35 is Gordie Howe... Been rooting for Crosby to break that for the past few years now... Seems like this year is another 85-95 points season though.
This roster can not play sullys system. It must be difficult to lace up the skates knowing you are battling your own system and yourselves before having to even outplay another team. Crsoby has said it multiple times in interviews how difficult it is to play this system that worked almost 10 yrs ago. We know sully wont be fired but but even a fire sale wouldnt replace enough players to make this roster /system work.
The Penguins were so flat, even the announcers (Brand & Armstrong?) sounded like they were calling a golf tournament instead of a hockey game. This team had zero energy.
Trade a Crosby package for a Necas package. Trade Crosby and a 2nd for Necas, a 1st, and Callum Ritchie. Trade Crosby, a 2nd, and Rickard Rakell for Necas, Callum Ritchie, a 1st, and Casey Mittlestadt. Trade Crosby, DOC, and Marcus Pettersson 50% retained for Necas, Callum Ritchie, Mikhail Gulyayev and a 1st. Trade Crosby, a 2nd, DOC, and Ryan Graves for Necas, Callum Ritchie, a 1st, and Sam Girard. Force former Av Ryan Graves into the trade to get Crosby. Trade Sid and Geno 50% retained to the Avs for Necas, Callum Ritchie, Casey Mittlestadt, and a 1st.
I thought Mikael Grandlund played well. Grandlund, Blueger, Rodriguez, Heinen, Lafferty, Dumoulin, Mattheson and Tanev could form the basis of a team that could win a 7 game series against the current Penguin roster.
who would have EVER thought the pens would be a last place team ? the bottom feeder teams that have beaten the pens prove that the pens are a bottom feeder team !
THIS IS CALLED A CYLCE. KEEP WINNING AND LOSING HIGH DRAFT PICKS. EVENTUALLY YOU START LOSING AND NOW START GETTING HIGH PICKS AGAIN AND WINNING. REPEAT
It's just a game. Why do people put so much emotion into something they have zero control over? It's just entertainment and the Pens won 3 Stanley Cups during Sidney Crosby's career. None of this is worth stressing over or getting remotely upset.
Everybody talks about Sully's System. Maybe his system is eight years old and outdated. The 35+ year old players can't do it either way. Time to move on from Sully, the players are deaf to him at this point.
Between the Penguins, Steelers, and Pirates, these are some sorry ass times for professional sports in Pittsburgh.
The zamboni circling behind him seems like a metaphor for this season.
very good point
That zamboni is pretty cool.
I think theyll go on a win streak just to piss us off
🤣🤣
lol I swear this happens. Every time I start seriously researching top 10 draft picks we go on a roll just enough to get a shittier pick

The suck is back in Pittsburgh sports. And it's gonna stay here a while.

I'm sorry you had to sit through that, Dan. I went to bed after the second period (and I live in the Pacific Time Zone)
I'll be at the Delta Center on Wednesday. It's my 1st pens game since 2001. 1st time in the Crosby era. I'm hoping they show up 🤞🤞and maybe win.😂😂😂😂
We have reached the point where the only thing left to watch is whether Crosby can get a point-per-game again this season.

Can we finally admit we have a problem so we can fix it? Wonderful. We aren't competitive. Time to trade thosenlder assets for youth and a future.

Crosby isn't going anywhere. He chose to go down with the ship.

Great game. Lost in regulation and Crosby got a goal. Excellent for Team Tank.

Aaaaaand they're done.
What do we expect for being a "re-hab" team??
we asked for better goaltending … we’ve been getting it … & stilll …fuck .
excuse my language but it’s warranted .
damn that barn is small.
Yeah holds a little over 17k
@@r3ggie25 crazy they havent built a new barn yet. built in 92. damn.
Given how poorly the team is performing, if Dubas decides to move pieces, he will be doing so from a weaker position!
THIS IS CALLED A CYLCE. KEEP WINNING AND LOSING HIGH DRAFT PICKS. EVENTUALLY YOU START LOSING AND NOW START GETTING HIGH PICKS AGAIN AND WINNING. REPEAT
Am I the only one who thinks that maybe selling high on Rakell for a first isn’t the worst idea?
All that matters is crosby gets points now it is time to get a Top 5 draft pick so they can get a cheap player that can play in the Top 6 next year
It's pretty sad that nowadays all I cheer for is for Crosby to beat Gretzky's point per game record

Sully needs a change of scenery and so do Crosby & Malkin. But by all means, keep the band together for old times sake…

Fire sale needed !
Worst group of shooters in the NHL.
Don't give up Pittsburgh,there coming games matter...
Drew o'Conner stinks couldn't put the puck in a soccer net trade him.
This season has always been in Dubas’ hands , that’s why the teams as bad as it is . Choices.
It's funny how you talk about how shitty the Sharks are. Take a look in the mirror bud.
The Pens have the top line, and 3 4th lines, too many scrubs on this team. Other than the top line, and Bunting, that's about it.
