  1. Mike Sullivan is the problem….his voice is beyond stale ….its so time to move on from him as much as it was Ron Hextall….I wish more people would see this…he has gotta stop getting a pass cuz of 2016 and 2017

  2. According to Sullivan Jarry is a “top tier goaltender” and our powerplay was pretty good. If that is truly how he feels this team is in trouble. Drop the dead weight and bring in some grit and speed. Half the team needs shipped out of town asap. Pretty bad when your own analysts talk about how soft this team is on national tv and radio on a regular basis.

  3. DK: seems the team "attitude" of being winners was overcome by events. They failed to recognize internal weakness due to a false sense of superiority. The new GM must find a way to shake things up, and that starts by not re-signing declining/unreliable players (e.g., Dumoulin and Jarry).

  4. Keep the top 6 an the top D and from coach on start new start fast start young and start with a goalie an the coaching staff.

  5. Agreed with all you said DK, I watched earlier games from this team this season and looking back on the past few, you’d think Boston was wearing penguins jerseys from thanksgiving to Christmas. Set up passes, screens, again the corners, crashing the net, defending with Jarry and rowdy in both blue paints. Pens found their rhythm then forgot it. We can only blame FSG, Ron, Burks, so much. The once strong fire in this team is now a pilot light. One quote that I think supports this team is “Don’t complain about the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do” you let off the pedal, soft slow old players, when I saw them in NJ you’d think it was an old timers game. Embarrassing. Toughen up get grit get speed and hold the entire team ACCOUNTABLE. A top 6 that made a EBUG look like a goalie on NHL 23 with the highest difficulty. Maybe this summer they’ll watch their own hockey games when they were on top of the world. You got all the tools, why go down with a ship when you can fix it!
