I wish you all a good evening!✨
The dude can't play defense, pens will find out the hard way 😂
Pens already too old as a team , the collapse after crosby and malkin retire will be hard to overcome
10:53 The Penguins are NOT the oldest team in the NHL, last time I checked. But okay…
Old men pens
Things are not rlly gonna be that much better in pittsburgh
Before watching the video. San Jose should have never traded for Karlsson when they were so close to a retool/rebuild already. Instead they crippled their cap with that albatross deal and traded away prospects and picks.
Miss him in Sharks🦈
See how long it takes to see he's garbage on and off the ice
Not much better in Pittsburgh either
Next > what went wrong in Pittsburgh? 😂
I love Nick Brlansky at the beginning
He got exposed as not being able to take a hit. Sharks should have never signed him he would have never worked in the west. He is not cut out for big boy hockey. Plus he is only good on bad teams. He is the most overrated athlete in team sports history.
Still appreciate he played for us
Covid happened. Threw off 2 seasons for whole world
The only person who thought it was a good move was Dubas. SJ must have giggled their ass off.
What went wrong with pittsburgh last night 7-0 loss oooof
Uh, he's Erik Karlsson
Christine witch Simp son, had got to go. Welcome to Gboard clipboard, any text you copy will be saved here.
We suck for picking up Eric. Penguins don’t need you.
Title should be what has gone wrong in San Jose and Pittsburgh
Sharks fan here. It was fun watching EK65 last year. Wish he would’ve stayed and competed. I think the Sharks could’ve turned it around faster with Karlsson still on the team. There’s some talented young players close to joining the team (Smith, Mukhamadullin, Musty, Gushchin, Haltunnen)…hopefully he gets another run at the Cup in Pittsburgh. Not looking good so far though…
We’ll be ready for your return to SJS in 4 years – Sharks will be Cup contenders again! See ya after Pittsburgh, Karl!
The Letang, Malkin and Karlsson contracts will make the next few years very tough on Pens fans. Letang will be 41 before they can free up that $6 mil, Malkin ties up $6 mil until he's 40, and this guy ties up $11.5 mil, $2.8 mil more than Crosby. Unreal. Karlsson has averaged just 63 games per year over his career, and he's -92 as a defenseman. So overrated, IMO.
I played against Erik many times during our youth. He played in his home town club Vetlanda and I remember in ONE game as a defender, he scored 15(!) Goals. I asked him after that game if he was satisfied with that number. He answered "No, because I missed about 30 shots" 😂
The question should be, “what’s wrong in Pittsburgh”? San Jose is no longer your issue but your current team is – the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The same thing that went wrong when he arrived in Pittsburgh 🎤 drop
Not worried, we believe in you Erik!
