Rierden needs to be let go. PP is bottom-3 in the league.
DUBAS MADE THE TEAM OLDER AND BRINING IN GARBAGE LIKE KARLSSON MADE IT WORSE
Dubas Did what he did from Hextall's mistakes. But yet the fanbase blames him which never makes sense I Trust Dubas its the players who have to start playing up to potential and stop relying on crosby-malkin-tanger
Glad you guys mentioned Zach Parise! I've been talking about this for a few days now. I think he would be a great fit for the bottom six, getting them some finishing that they lack right now for near league minimum. I also still think they'll need to a make a trade or 2 at the forward position for a power forward like Josh Anderson. Not sure if I necessarily want that particular guy but a player like him who can finish in front of the net.
Iâll keep saying it until itâs done. Sully and the coaching staff need to go! The system doesnât work and before you blow the whole team up and start the rebuild you owe it to your veterans to put a shot of adrenaline in the arm. Sully was a great coach with Pittsburgh during his time but itâs time for a new direction.
Listened to the postgame radio commentary. Interestingly they talked about the odds makers picking the bolts to win despite pens dominating them for a while now.
Yes Nick, thank you for spending time on my question. Like I said it was only a thought. Love your show guys!!
great show guys, BTW Jay Caufield confirmed my stance and called for the third line of doc-eller-Z to be reunited. This would at least give us two good lines. Why can't sully see this.
Is it time in Malkins career where he needs to be moved to the wing? Imo we need a very good 2c and have malkin on the wing where he wont be able to turn the puck over as much in the middle of the ice.
I would be willing to trade rak and smith for a solid 2nd line center.
Was your opening music slowed way down or just me? Sounded sluggish, like our Power Play and overall game
At this point, don't decline the penalty and power play, just immediately have Harkins or Carter foul someone and we can just play 4 on 4, which I think we may be able to actually thrive, a little.
The pens are god awful… watching them play this bad is just pain. They wont make the post season sadly
There probably will be some lateral trades throughout this year, but the biggest change the Penguins can make this season is with coaching. We have a coaching staff that just seems convinced they are on the right path, but the players look like they have lost faith. Sullivan will be fine he'll get another job quickly.
We need a coaching staff that gets this team playing some team defense, since speed game went out the window years ago. And a coach that isn't blind to how terrible our powerplay is. Even when they score on the powerplay it's almost always against a bad PK team in a situation where the goal is unlikely to change the outcome of the game.
Bye Sullivan
When Raks was on Malkins line, even though he wasnât scoring, he drew opposing players which benefited Smith on the left side
What about Kevin Constantine. Remember him? He was all about defense. I think it worked well for a season and a half.
When Pens start a PP, I know I have enough time to go make a bag of popcorn and not miss anything
They can just use some high draft picks and………oh, nevermind.
