Where's Ponomarev been? Didn't see him in WBS. He should be in the 4th line.
i like gruden over harkins, i'd like to see poulin get some time on the 3rd line ( Bemstrom hasn't impressed me at all), pusti should only get better. Really missing Doc's energy and forecheck these last games. Ludvig isn't great but he brings something we need. Not sure about poj at this point. We need some of that young blood to finish this season off with some life and energy.
Have to say that they either need to build for Sully's idea of a team game or if they can't get the players to fit, find a new coach. Sully can't seem to adapt well to players who don't perfectly fit into his style.
Playoffs?? Are you kidding??? Playoffs??? Boy is that quote relevant…
There'll be some good seats available in Pittsburgh for the rest of the season! Learn about next season… right. Here's what you will find out. They are heading for the bottom of the league.
Jesse Pulijarvi is not the answer! He’s slow and can’t score! What are we doing!? We need a Jason zucker or Phil kessel or kris Kunitz!! These are the type of players we need! Not these guy that are AHL/ NHL level scrubs!
The Pens have had a great run over the past several years of being one of the NHL's best teams, but all teams must rebuild at some point and it is the Pens time to do it.
Amen next year maybe
Honestly that Bunting dude we got for Jake is absolutely terrible!!!! He has a muffin for a shot and is t even half as good as Jake!!!
hopefully shed that graves and jarry contract and bring in a new coach his system doesnt work he should pull a paul maurice and step down if they wont fire him
This was by design. Fenway group. Look no further. When they were bought it quickly became apparent the Pens were a write-off loss
At this point, screw the playoffs. Tank the rest of the season to have a chance at the lottery.
Pusti, PO, are not up to the NHL yet.
The pens need to sit Carter and play poulin but they won’t. Sully loves old guys that try really hard and can win a faceoff
So many questions. Why has malkin not had a shot on goal in 3 games? I dont mean a goal, i mean a shot on goal. Why is EK passing up shots on the PP? Why is reirdon still on the coaching staff? Has the team stopped listening to sullivan? Why does sullivan play guys like harkins over puljujarvi?
Call more guys up from AHL our current team has no energy or grit. Someone trying to prove themselves will play with more heart!
a brutal pens rebuild in-coming (years).. Crosby needs to decide to be apart of the rebuild or go somewhere else for a chance
We don’t even have a first round pick this year lol
So far, not impressed with the Dubas plan. More like Dubious plan. Aside from the obvious knocks, Carter and Ned should haven dealt for something, anything. I imagine both of them would have been interested in chasing a cup this year. I think it’s BS that no GM would want a veteran with face-off skills or a solid back up goalie for depth. Could have fetched a 4th and a 3rd. Now we’re not gonna get anything.
Big Picture…. this is a POORLY coached team that looks clueless on the ice.
For Bemstrom, it’s kinda refreshing to see a guy on the pens shooting the puck at will. It’s not going in but at least he is attempting to shoot the puck instead of passing.
I think the number one thing Dubas needs to do this summer (other than bring Jake back) is to bring in a player, ANY PLAYER, that will plant themselves in front of the goalie, and not freakin leave that spot. The Pens have been able to generate a ton of actual shots on goal, but if the goalie has a direct, unobstucted look at the puck, we're never going to score enough to win.
Playoffs!!, playoffs??!!, are you kidding me, playoffs!!

Yes a pipe dream and pipes are filled with all those things that shouldn't be flushed.
You're overthinking this, in my opinion. Sullivan's going to keep playing his boys. Carter's still going to get his 13 minutes a game, Puustinen will get benched if he makes the exact same mistake Letang makes, Puljujärvi will sit (because Sullivan doesn't trust anyone who's not close to retirement, except Harkins… for reasons ), etc., etc. Until I'm proven otherwise, I just don't believe Sullivan will do anything differently. But Sullivan is the coach for life, so what can we do?
You definitely deserve higher views
