"children still playing in caves in finland" 😂😂
Turn out the lights, the party's over 💀
So happy that the best game they played was the one here in Los Angeles... Let's Go Pens 🤘🤘
Just four shots in the second period, was on display. If they want to win they got to make those shots. I believe they do. They need some strong fresh legs with talent and keep bringing the puck to the net. Thanks DK your the best.
I'll be at the Delta Center tomorrow...PLEASE win this ONE game, PLEASE!!!🙏 😂
Granlund did nothing with the Pens and went to the Sharks and has scored 15 times this season. Something is wrong with this team's coaching and player utilization.
100000% !
Why don't you look at Jared McCaan's stats.......talk about not using a guy properly while in Pittsburgh. Think he was buried on a line with Carter, a center who killed careers at that point, and Domink Simon was on line one!!!!
There is a long list of guys that went to other teams and enjoyed success! There is a common denominator, but it won't change!! Very unfortunate!
@@tobrien1112 , oh I agree. But I used him to show how Sullivan exploits talent. Lucky to get 15 goals under his coaching, goes on to score forty. Even if he was a PP specialist, the PP for years was awful or middle of the pack. It was clear McCaan had that offensive talent, and never got his shot with Sid.
He’s their first line center tbf
The Sharks looked like they were skating circles around our old dudes.
They're so bad, they don't know the meaning of the word embarrassing.
Mike Grier clearly won the Erik Karlsson trade. Granlund has been a huge asset for San Jose while...... you already know what I'm going to say.
Why is Sullivan still coaching?
Because it doesn't matter who the freaking coach is, they are who they are. Why would you pay two coaches at the same time to coach a bottom of the barrel team? Makes zero sense from a financial standpoint. And I want Sullivan gone more than most
Same reason Tomlin is. Because fuck it.
Sid's final years will be wasted. Its sad but if that's what he wants to do, I appreciate his commitment and will enjoy it while we have him.
I bet he's waiting impatiently for the 4 Nations though....playing on a team that competes? Holy hell...
It seems to be over the years the 2nd Period is when the team just completely collapses, unless they're already down by a bunch of goals. Hextall di the damage, but Dubas can't do enough to fix it. After they lost to the Caps in the 2nd Round in 2018 it was the beginning of the end
As much as Sid has stated he wants to protect his legacy, one can only wonder what he would think if Colorado came calling? Or perhaps Tampa? Or even - God forbid - Toronto, knowing that if he helped them win a Cup, he'd be treated like a God. So what's more important to him, playing meaningful hockey while he still has the ability to, or wearing one team's sweater his entire career? Boo me if you want, but you know he's at least thinking about it.
@@dhunter1133 considering Colorado has his best friend on the roster, its probably not out of the question
Good morning DK, ok, two words for you.......draft lottery!
Blessings,
Victor from Langley City, BC Canada 🇨🇦
Is there some "the next one" coming up in the draft? You know, a Bedard, Crosby, McDavid or someone like that which we could only hope for?? Now, I really hope Dubas not only trades Petterson but Rust, and one of either Letang or Malkin. Along with Raks only because his value will never be this high again. For all of them, I could definitely see a hot prospect, a young 2nd liner with loads of upside, a young, strong defenseman, at least one 1st, one 2nd, and one 3rd if not more. Along with our draft, which Dubas has done a great job rebuilding, we'd look pretty great this years draft!! Any comment DK?
Losing is one thing - having an "off night" night after night is another thing. Sheeesh!
The highlight of the game was the "Taylor Haase of DK Pittsburgh Sports in her latest piece" shout-out by the TV broadcast team! That was fun to hear y'all get some!
✌❤🤘
Been saying this for 2 years. This team isn't competitive. It's time to take the assets we have and trade them for a future. It's time.
What assets? Seriously who would even want any player from the pens.
Sure I will take Sid off your hands as long as you toss in 4 number one draft picks then I will give you 1 player.
What makes us think that Dubus is up to the task of a successful rebuild of the Pens? What does his resume indicate?
DK! Long time watcher, first time commenting... Why aren't you repeating?! FIRE SULLIVAN!!! And Dubas too if he doesn't make big changes on top of firing a tired worn out coach with no heart, immediately!!!
EK is possibly worse on defense than Josef Melichar was. He has no vision, he has more turnovers than a bakery, and he takes no accountability
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the biggest mistake the penguins made was hiring Hextal as GM and the ensuing catastrophe of resigning Letang and Malkin because “we gotta keep the three together cuz it makes us feel good inside”. They should have dished Geno and Tanger for young talent (boo hoo, I know, sacrilege) and kept Guentzel and Crosby together to actually give the penguins some hope for the future. But no, we resigned stars in their mid 30’s, made no attempt at cultivating speed and young talent, and added on a Jeff Carter here and there or a Noel Acciari or a Boyle or whoever. It just baffles my mind that a GM watch a coach whose success came from a young, fast roster thinks to himself, “hmmm, let’s saddle the team with some old slow relics!” So yay for the penguins, we have Crosby Malkin Letang and Karlsonn, which would have been great ten years ago, but means nothing now. Unfortunately the penguins future seems about as grim as the Pirates and Steelers at this point, and it’s really too late make the moves that should have been made.
But hey, at least we’ve got the Riverhounds 🤷♂️ 😂
Well said on the Malkin and Letang resigning...especially Malkin.
The Pens will be good again before the Steelers and the Pirates simply don't matter
The biggest mistake was pushing Rutherford out the door, and on the list of bad contracts on this team, Malkin and Letang wouldn't be in the top three, probably not even the top 5.
See this take about the core and still disagree regarding the re-signing. Not only were they still among the better players on the team but they were *especially* good for their value of around ~6 million. Even Geno who dipped a bit, he’s not superstar Geno like we’re used to but he’s still one of the better 2C’s for the price.
They kept them around to see if they could still compete then hextall lit *EVERYTHING ELSE* on fire as you mentioned. Also the decision to keep Murray over fleury aged like milk. Those things sinking the team doesn’t make the re-signing of the core bad. You realize they would’ve lost those guys for nothing which wouldn’t have helped refill the cupboard? If you want to argue they should’ve traded them after they missed the playoffs, sure. But people argue they shouldn’t have been brought back which really wouldn’t have helped in any meaningful way. There were so many other terrible issues that I truly feel this complaint over bringing them back is a lazy and misguided reason to blame why they nose dived. Not Matt Murray. Not petty/granlund then turning into 10m for Karlsson, not Jarry being terrible in the playoffs, not sending out guys like tanev, McCann, Rodrigues for nothing, etc….
As bad as things have gotten nothing is worse than the 2003 and 2004 teams. Living through that allows me to not see this as Penguins apocalypse
Tanks and tanks a lot. Worst for first? 😂😂😂
Wide Right!
We need to be doing it next year when there's a true franchise prospect.
@Iamyourboo2 Next several years.
@Iamyourboo2 No guarantee to get 1st overall as we know. That is why I said several years. Look at Bedard wasting away with no talent for support around him. It's sad to see talent go to waste.
Michael Misa in black and gold wouldn't be too bad, huh 😏
fire everyone
Sully first please
Just sell it all.
Maybe this is a naive take, but I think the Pens have a chance to seriously retool next year. I think a skeleton of Sid, Geno, Rakell, Rust, Bunting, Letang and EK is still a good skeleton and with around $30M free (if he buries Jarry & Graves in WBS next eyar) to spend next year gives Dubas a true shot to deck this lineup out with competitive players. The right mix of players.
"Kids playing in caves in Finland " 😂 love it
Yep, it’s time to sell :/
I'm somewhat surprised that the Pens haven't blamed the fans yet.
I mean, that's the strategy Hollywood and the gaming industry is going with, why not?
What? lol
@J1Q DK, is it possible that Sully isn't being fired because he's coaching 4 nations tourney. Might be a bad look for the league to have an unemployed coach leading US team
Lizotte, Grezlyck, Hayes, Beauvillier. Off-season acquisitions to sell (season was already over). Dubas straight out says at end of preseason the goal isn't the playoffs but to have wiggle room at trade deadline. Come late in season penguins need to call up a player, and they call up Imama. Yeah, come on, like this is just screaming, we don't want anyone good on this team. Malkin to IR call up Puljujarvi, who will be back in the finnish League next year. The goal is a top 5 pick now and what can we get for these rentals
The two "Ryan's" - according to the eye-test - seem stumbly in many of their shifts
Boom, that's all i got to say...
Im no longer defending Sullivan i think the pens need a new voice. Those guys in the locker room are so far checked out
😢
Are the Penguins soft? They are a Klondike dropped on the sidewalk in July.
This roster obviously can't play sullys system. To me, it looks like the system and them selves are beating the pens and not the other teams. It has to be very discouraging to try to play a system that you just can't. And then have to actually play another team. It seems like such an up hill battle. We can not change the entire roster, but we can change the coach. Far past time.
The system is based on speed and high energy which the Pens outside of a few players simply do not have anymore
It can be based on jelly doughnuts. Its not working. @TerryMccarthy-s3r
@TerryMccarthy-s3r agreed. That's why I think it is even more demoralizing to keep trying to do something they already acknowledge they can't do on a night to night basis.
Trade Dumbas! Trade everyone! It’s doom and gloom!!! All we can say is Tanks a lot Dumbas the Toronto reject!!!!!!
It’s laughable to think 58 or 71 could bring anything decent back in a trade. On top of that they would have to retain so much salary that it would impede signing players next year, if they want to be competitive. 28 would cost to much to resign, so he’s gone. And if dubas wants to be competitive next year, then why trade 67? Unless he gets a younger less expensive player and perhaps a draft pick then he has to go get another probably more expensive player to replace him.
Just because you think it so, doesn't make it so. It's been a broken record this time of the year for too long. It's nice to watch us get out of a hole. It's worse to see our hopes dashed when we get into a bigger one. Any trade, big or small, will not make any difference.
more Accari Nieto and Ned 🙄
I can’t believe any Pens fan is cool with seeing Sid play out his last years like this. It won’t be any better during the remainder of his career. I can’t believe his fans don’t want better for him. But hey, if Sid wants to spend a few years losing most nights on one of the worst teams in the league then let him.
If we would trade him, it would just depend on what we get back for me, obviously. Wherever he'd go I'd be happy for him and I'd heavily root for that team regardless. I'm just sick and tired of people wanting him out of here SO BAD that they jump at any opportunity to start rumors *cough* Paul Bissonette *cough*
who would have ever thought the pens would be a last place team ?? this general manager should be embarassed but the pirates must have rubbed off on him . bring up some minor leagers and get them some NHL experience going forward
Anybody who didn’t know this was coming is naive.
It’s too late now. Aim for the bottom and a chance at the lottery.
Sullivans time has expired, bruins tossed Montgomery and Cassidy to the curb. He’s lost his touch, we have never had elite prospects but the ability to develop guys like Connor sheary, rust, blueger,ZAR and have them fill out the roster. His refusal to take young guys now and develop them is sad and it’s time for a change in both sides
Dubas has no clue what he’s up to . More and more people are waking up to this fact .
The entire city of Pittsburgh is starting to become the laughing stock of the professional sports world
This Penguins team is just terrible. Only one line has a chance to score. All ,and I mean all, the coaches suck. Too slow, too soft, and pitiful defense. Goaltending can't save you when you give the other team at least 20 great looks a game. Our so-called all-star defensemen stink. Giveaways, penalties, and lack of hitting lead to this disgraceful defense. This team needs a coach not a friend and shoulder to cry on. Geno, Letang, and Carlson need to go. All the rest need to practice shooting the puck on net for days. You have to hit the net to score! 💩
So you did Buffalo and Utah and she did California?she owes you one
Leave Sid, just leave
Crosby aint getting his point per game
He will because it'll be a record he takes from #99
@ourlittleadventures519 the team will have to play a lot better to help him get there
He has 53 in 52. He will get his ppg
@@mrchady not trending in the right direction lately
I'm going to keep asking Mark Cuban to buy ALL the Pittsburgh teams.
No thanks!!😂
