Official GDT: Game 19 - Pens v Sabres- 11/19/18 7:08pm EDT

[E-Ramone]

That’s the type of game that coaches get fired after.

I'm starting to think coaching is the problem.

[Trip McNeely]

A coaching change is very much in play.

Zero chance

Zero chance

False.

[crusherstasiak]

what in the hell was rust doing in OT? was he called to the bench? if he wasn't that's one of the more stupid things you're going to see in a hockey game.

[Rx6687]

This was 2 points that you've just GOT to get. Up 4-1 and badly outplaying a marginal opponent on home ice. If there ever is (or was) going to be a turnaround, this game had all the makings...but...

right
he's on the hot seat now and I don't have to be an insider to know this

[MR25]

**** horrendous

[Gaucho]

A marginal opponent that is now 13-6-2.

He has a chance to get off as letang chases down the puck, letang charges back up the ice, and rust decides the time to change is as the puck is sent his way... holy f ing stupid

[crusherstasiak]

5 giveaways by ...nevermind

To be fair,Buffalo is not a marginal team. They've now won 6 straight. They're good. But you can't give up a 3 goal lead like that.

You guys really think he’s on the hot seat? I’m not saying he shouldn’t be...I just don’t see it happening

I've been a yuge supporter of Sully, but their struggles go back to last season, when they couldn't do much at even strength. Their power play saved them last year. So far this season, it isn't enough. In the coaching staff's defense, they are not the ones leaking in squishy soft goals.

Better question is why in the hell did Rust start OT?

[Gaucho]

The Pens are 1-7-2 in their last 10. Of course he is.

[MR25]

The Pens don't have a goalie.who can make a save when needed.

Match against Eichel's speed. Allow Malkin and Kessel to take advantage of tired unit or the slower next wave that Buffalo would have had to put out...right idea.

[nocera]

Yeah that worked out swell.

[shafnutz05]

I feel like HBK... I just want my smile back.

His decision as to when to get off the ice will make it hard to sleep... as in I won’t be able to make sense of it

[mikey]

Yeah that worked out swell.

Well, it's Rust's change that or the pass to him that was poor...putting him out there didn't lose the game, obviously...

[willeyeam]

How can that much bad happen in 45 seconds of OT. It was hilariously bad. Between Rust changing and like three different guys just falling. Wtf

[willeyeam]

The Pens don't have a goalie.who can make a save when needed.

DeSmith made a lot of big saves in the third. No one has a goalie that makes all of them

[the wicked child]

I turned the game off immediately after Buffalo scored to make it 4-2 after the failed PP attempt/big save. This team doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to overcome such things. Good call.

Well if I'm Letang, after racing back to get the puck and swooping back around, I'm assuming whomever needs to change has changed, and hasn't decided to do it as I'm leading a rush. If there is any chance that puck can come to Rust - he needs to stay on, no excuses.
