Everyone say, “THANK YOU, TRISTAN JARRY.”
Bottom six still struggling to produce minus the late Z goal but our fanbase can at least agree that’s a glaring problem
Sullivan has got to go!!!! He’s stunk for yearsssss and this system he’s running is SHIT!!!!! We got karlsson and our powerplay and even strength scoring is still shit!!!
Same shit. Sully doesn’t learn.
“Elite” Power Play passing, suboptimal zone breakout passing
Inconsistent play leads to the team chasing a win with the EN against a garbage team they should be beating. It’s been fucking groundhog day for the past 4 fucking years.
Well this team has issues. Sid looks like he doesn’t feel like playing lately.
The offense NEEDS TO SCORE.
To everyone who just looked at the score and didn’t watch the game and will ultimately blame Jarry. I want you to take a good long look in the mirror and then go ahead and fuck yourself.
Whadduyaknow…Zohorna with the first bottom-six goal of the year. It’s almost like he’s one of our 12 best Forwards (and always has been).
That PP we had in the 2nd when our top unit didn’t even get a fucking shot off because they were too busy missing passes was really fun to watch
I just want to close my eyes and never open them until I see Carter healthy scratched. Not only can Sullivan not adjust mid-game, his loyalty to some players have cost us big the last few years.
How can a team with this many future HOFs look so bad
We’re into game 75. The Pens are 27-40-8. Fans will still be sucking that Dubas dick nonstop despite assembling the worst bottom 6 in the league. Let Dubass cook🔥
Man if you guys thought this game was bad just wait until the Stars and Avalanche games. You will truly realize the discrepancy of young skill in those games and it will not be pretty
long time lurker, this is my first comment..
FIRE REIRDEN SDLK:FJSD:LFKSDJF
Bye Sully and Rierdan
I don’t mind Potash in the studio–maybe shaking things up with the new RSN isn’t the worst thing.
I’m done. It’s only game number blah blah blah is bullshit. Crosby is fried. Malkin is trying but for how long. Letang is post prime. Just admit it. There should have been a rebuild happening way before now. Typical Pittsburgh sports. They’ll ride the tired old donkeys to the grave then try to rebuild. This team ain’t doing shit. Hate all you want. You know I’m right
Anyone else tired of the Rust, Guentzel, Sid line? Hoping that Guentzel just needs to find his form after returning from injury.
* The third line looked substantially more dangerous with Zohorna than it ever did with Harkins. I cannot begin to understand what the thought process was to shoe horn Jansen Harkins into the top 9 when we had better depth players already in the organization. Which brings me to my second point…
* Sullivan has lost the plot. What in the actual fuck is the logic behind playing Letang and Karlsson together in a game where you’re already bleeding odd man rushes? What is the logic behind playing your 4th line, that couldn’t control play in beer league, the first shift after giving up a goal when you need to swing the momentum back? Sullivan was instrumental in winning back to back cups. But that was 7 years ago. He’s not the man for this job anymore. Team needs a new set of eyes behind the bench.
* It’s not often your goalie gives up four goals and you still say “well shit it could have been way worse without him” but that’s where we’re at tonight. Jarry has definitely played better than his stat line so far.
* Sid was not in it tonight. I realize he’s 36 years old and this is a big ask, but the team just isn’t built for him to have an off night. I’m pretty confident the off nights for him will still be few and far between, but we aren’t going to win many of the games when they happen.
Pens make it way too easy on opposing goaltenders. Miss you, Horny….
Same sh*t, different season.
The worst thing about a loss streak is all the god awful takes from the moronic armchair coaches in this sub.
Team needs defensive structure and a change of scheme. Sorry Sully, take Todd with you.
We looked bad from every angle. Offense couldn’t put anything together. Lacked any proper defense. Couldn’t pass for shit. Team looked old, slow, and tired. That’s not even to mention the glaring issue that is Jarry.
I always wonder if people just come here to comment non-sense without even watching the game. 😂
Mike Byslma Sullivan. Once again, kept a coach seasons too long wasting their valuable remaining years
can someone expand on the Jarry debate please because he is making it hard for me to like him. Between almost causing an own goal off his skate to just not being the goaltender we know he can me, it’s really hard for me to hold out hope.
Didn’t get a chance to watch game. I hope this thread isn’t a sign of things to come this season. Sounds like a lopsided game.
Same problems as the last 5 seasons, sus goal tending and no net front presence either offensively or defensively. It’s going to be a long season.
I’ve always been a Sully supporter, but we’ve had a mostly positive change in our roster compared to last season somehow producing similar results. At what point is coaching staff to blame? Would love to eat my words and see Sully coach them through a great season, bur so far I’m a little concerned.
