Kyle Dubas made that decision, plain and simple.
Carter as a healthy scratch was long overdue. Probably mattered less vs Sharks, but should make a difference for the 4th line moving forward.
Now it's time to scratch Mike Sullivan LoL
I've been waiting for this summary since the end of the San Jose game. Yes, you were stating the obvious but it was healing/therapeutic just to hear a positive summary of this Jekyll/Hyde team. Thanks!
Carter was the previous GM's pet so Sully really couldn't bench him. It was generous to let JC start the season and give him one last (undeserved) chance to prove himself to help the team. Now, let's hope JC sees it's a good time soon to gracefully ride off into the sunset after a very stellar career.
So many of us said Zahorna and Hinostroza needed to be brought up. Now that it has happened and it has had an immediate positive impact (yes, we need a larger sample), I don't know what to think about Sully's judgement. I hope this is one aspect of his coaching that Dubas can (respectfully) override when he needs to.
I’m not surprised the penguins scored so many goals, the sharks don’t care this season and aren’t all in. It was great to watch, but a college hockey team could’ve beat these unenthusiastic players too. The real question is can the Penguins respond back to the Ducks tomorrow after their embarrassing loss the other night.
I don’t take this sharks game to heart regarding a true evaluation / a reliable penguins report card in their actual performance. Lastly, I might be the only Penguins fan who did not want EK65 and I’m still not sold on him for many reasons. The ending of the ducks game to me is just a precursor to his performance where he was at the sharks. And I’m well aware it was a 5v3 and someone should’ve buried many goals before the fun passes between him and Malkin. & the (Norris trophy winner blah blah) a lot of defensive players could’ve been that too on the sharks last year. Honeymoon phase is over and I know EK65 more for that reason of giving up and sloppy play than his stellar season last year. Prove me wrong EK, let’s go pens
Let’s hope we keep it up tomorrow
