Jesus Christ…….
Dallas scored 4 straight goals vs the Pens. Colorado scored 5 straight goals vs the Pens. WHAT'S NEW? Both the Caps and Oilers scored 6 straight goals vs the Pens. The Oilers scored 4 straight goals vs the Pens. The Devils scored 4 straight goals vs the Pens. FIRE MIKE SUCKAGAIN!
DK is a fraudster. DK: FSG "love Sullivan". Notice DK doesn't mention that FSG knows nothing about hockey and Mike Suckagain doesn't even pass a basic eye test. Seriously if Mike Suckagain and FSG can mutually agree to part ways in the offseason like Peter Laviolette and the Caps he'll immediately get a new job like Cassidy (Bruins to VGK/Cup) and Montgomery (Stars to the Bruins = best record ever). Sullivan getting a new contract with a new team nullifies his Pens contract and they aren't on the hook for his money.
Everybody chant NOW: "FIRE SULLIVAN" "FIRE SULLIVAN" "FIRE SULLIVAN" just like "Fire Lindy" in New Jersey and just like "fire Hextall".
Will the team keep tge draft pick if it's really high? If do, they should lose out.
I wanted to scream when Letang so clearly quit on that play. That very second I knew it was over.
No one thought this team would be this bad and possibly finish the season with a losing record. A serious decision has to be made about Sullivan and the core of this team.
Fire sully and this entire staff it's just insanity at this point
Some of these J1Q questions are the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. What do you think Sid plays next year, starts training real hard, and then retires lmao. Had to be a woman.
There is absolutely no reason not to shoot for the best draft pick possible now. It’s over. Let’s accept it and move forward. And it’s ok to lose, this team has won multiple cups over the years. Can’t win ‘em all forever but we can make the right decisions to be better in the future. Listening from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 this morning DK. Cheers 🍻
Almost every goal scored against , Letang is on the ice . He NEVER plays Defense . Time for Letang to retire . How do you spell Tank ? P – E – N- S .
They killed Malkin's career .
%100 some of the worst management this franchise has endured . Hextall’s teams made OR missed by a point. These clowns at FSG have driven this team to hell …
Letang wasnt fast enough
No matter how disappointing our team becomes DK, I'll always tune in. Your perspective is refreshing.
Sure was fun watching Sid today until that first Colorado goal. I stopped watching after that.
This organization has chose Mike Sullivan over Crosby and the team. If he is the coach next year, there will be zero improvement, and it will only get worse. This should have been over 3 years ago.
"Oh, Sullivan's in this?"
If this game doesn't get Sullivan fired…nothing will.
Penguins are in an entire rebuild. Look for really bad seasons ahead.
Doufous has really helped this team since he's come in . He's all talk and a pathetic little nerd beta male .
Quitting is the unforgivable sin and we are sinning
Hindsight is 20/20 but Jake should have been traded back in January once the slid started
"I thought we competed hard" – the Gotterdamerung of the Pens – Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin! 🙂
But BECAUSE he eats, sleeps, dreams hockey those are all reasons he might ask out of the Titanic
Can't beat Letang wide? Obviously haven't been watching at all the past month or two have you? Or you have and your selective memory fails in the face of not wanting to believe what you are seeing from your favorite players that you refuse to admonish, or pretend it's a blue moon in the sky when you ever do. I can't even make it through 5 minutes of these daily shot things anymore before your entire pugnacious delivery makes me hit stop. I took a couple weeks off, and came back to see if I was overreacting and nope, it's even more bothersome and Pensburg like. This is clearly a fan site, and has nothing to to with sporting objectivity.
I am suspect in believing that if this isn't scripted/engineered for the Penguins to be bad. The play is suspect all year long and even the past few years. This doesn't make any sense. An ineffective coach and staff and players who don't put forth 100%! This just doesn't make sense. I have a feeling the Penguins will land a coveted draft pick, the Pens will bounce back, which will include a Cup win and the core retire! That's what makes any sense at least to me.
They are so disappointing DK! Seriously, they started out great in the first period and a half and then fell flat. The announcers jokingly said the elevation finally got to them. What a joke!
Jeez if I'm Sid I gotta really think of going to another team. I wouldn't blame him at all !
Bad times ahead in the 'Burgh.
Malkin,Letang…i love em but please please retire!
We can blame everyone, but this is just reality sinking in. Last years we've had a moderate team – except for the 1st line – with the goal to win a cup. That perspective and expectation is a setup for disappointment. For me this is mostly on the GM's. When the play of an old core declines, they need more other players to make a difference. That's the main part where this goes wrong. A couple of years ago we had more of such players like McCann, Rodrigues, the ZAR-Blueger-Tanev line, the breakout season of Marino, the first version of Carter and the Matheson-Ceci pair. Instead of building up a good team around an aging core (like Boston or LA), they seem to take a step back with each year. Personally, that's the most painful part to witness. Also seeing what Sid's still able to do.
I actually don't think the Pens are quitting. To me, they are just a really bad team that got great goaltending for the first four months of the season, so they stayed kind of in the hunt unlike the other really bad teams who didn't get good goaltending … Jackets, Canadiens, Senators, Hawks, Ducks, etc. But now their goaltending isn't bailing them out like it did the first half of the season, so they are losing just like the other bad teams. And spoiler alert … they are going to be bad next season, and the year after that, and then again the year after that. I would be more upset if I were a Devils fan … that team was supposed to have arrived, and here they are watching the draft lottery results yet again.
when the score was 4-0, I knew it would still be a loss. Its what they do. Letang got burned in OT, they just do not have it anymore. They cannot compete.
Their opponents are basically playing against empty ice…the fact that Sid is the only one who gives a damn is unsettling
