I didn’t mind the moves Dubas made heading into the season. There was a lot of turnover actually. On paper I thought we were going to be better. Still old, small, and soffft but enough skill and supporting cast +EK and PP to make playoffs.

The time for shakeups and season-saving measures or coaching changes (Sullivan/Reirden) was two months ago when the writing was already on the wall. Too late now. Ride it out, sell, and let some young guys play the rest of the season.

I’m not happy the season has gone to hell but the silver lining is that this is probably the only way the organization was going to be able to add nhl-ready youth quickly. We needed a season like this where we could SELL and use the opportunity to add prospects or young nhl players to the mix. Make ...

Good coaches get fired all the time. Sometimes you just need a change. Dubas’ recent comments would lead you to believe that Sullivan has a lifetime contract here and isn’t going anywhere…..but I just can’t see it. This team is incredibly stale and needs a new voice. I can’t imagine him coming back ...

Is Sullivan coaching this team next year?

I think Eller has been substandard of late...

I think he looked terrible for a few games after the all star break but has looked faster and more involved since.

Gonna need Reilly Smith to up his trade value over the next week somehow.

Eller has. Rakell has. Ruhwedel has been ok.

Really needed at least one standings point tonight. This one hurts

Yeah but this team made their bed a long time ago….I’ve come to terms with this being a lost season.

The Pens frequently pass up on shot opportunity 1, 2, and 3 for shot opportunity 4 which is almost always much much worse or lower percentage than the earlier options.

This team can’t score.

But we already knew that.

EK dangling between 2 guys legs right before that goal on blueline …..inches away from a 3 on 1. Haha

Puustinen 17:23 tonight including a shift in overtime. He was outstanding and rewarded with ice time

Yes indeed.

Eller and Rakell raising their trade value tonight. (If Dubas wants to move them)

The Risk/Reward meter is broken on a few Penguins.

There’s alot of guys that we can target as problems for the year but I’ve decided Reilly Smith is my number 1. His **** body language out there is just soooo bad. The rumors that he never wanted to be traded here is one thing, but to mope around like he has for an entire season is something. At thi...

We're an average team missing two of our best wingers. It prob ain't gonna get any prettier on this stretch. Which is fine. Would be less than ideal if we gave Dubas some false hope for a few games heading into the deadline. Nothing this team does over the next week erases what we have seen from th...

Fun game

Goalie goal opportunity.

Entertaining game. Has a little bit of everything. Most of our games this season have been snoozers.

1 goal down on that conditional draft pick

If he gets goal #5 he gets sent down to WBS.

Penguin with a huge hit. Penguin scores a PP goal.

These 2 things haven’t happened in the same Pens game all season I’d bet.

Bemstrom is so new he doesn’t realize you must slap-pass before putting the puck on net on the PP.

Nice and clean too

Yep. It’s a shame every big, clean hit has to result in some sort of melee or fight. Give a hit/take a hit and move on. You’re allowed to hit.

I have a feeling though, if Jake gets traded he's not coming back. Otherwise he'd already have signed an extension. I think for every athlete it makes sense to test the open market if you’re this close to free agency. If I’m Jake I don’t sign with anyone until summer. Hopefully the Pens have a leg ...

Yeah we can always bring Jake back in the summer. No issues trading him away if they can’t work out an extension between now and deadline. The only way this team is going to add youth/prospects is by trading some guys away, so I have no problem with this. It’s the only way to restock. I’d value youn...
