Oilers this year, complete turnaround. Rich Tocchet Vancouver. Look at how much a coaching change (or refresh) improves the team. Barry Trotz completely dominated Sullivan 8-2 in 2018 and 2019 playoffs with two different teams, following our back to back cups. Look at how this team misses on details and some simple mechanics (i.e. the PP is a liability). Sullivan got outcoached and the writing should have been on the wall then. It is offensively apparent now.
My gut says Dubas was a mistake….and I really hoped for the opposite. Don’t like how this episode ended what so ever…..
😶
The trades have me wondering wtf are they doing
The Guentzel trade demoralized this team entirely. It would feel different if Dubas shipped out everybody for anything like Smith, Rakell, and Ned, but he didn't. Nobody cares more than they have to at this point past making a paycheck, maybe even including Crosby. As much as this team liked to make-believe that they're still a contender and winning now isn't a total long shot, Guentzel getting traded off was the morale blow that crushed the last of this team's already dying spirit. If you don't think every player, especially the veterans sitting in that locker room arent wondering what hellish direction this team is headed in and what their options are, you don't see the realistic short term(seemingly eternity long) future of this organization. The worst part is, the Crosby Era isn't even over… we're watching one of the galaxies brightest stars being sucked into a black hole of a hockey team. This isn't Experience the Evelution anymore… heck, it's hardely even a great day for hockey.
DK with all that’s going on with this team do you think Sidney Crosby will sign an extension as soon as it’s possible to do so?? I think that’s my main concern right now. His legacy is important to Pittsburgh. Also being born in Pittsburgh I feel like it’s sad what hextall and Dubas have done to this franchise. I know other GMs traded the future but they have a few cups in the trophy case.
Wasn't it suspected that hextall was tasked with the job of breaking up the band? Thats why the malking contract extension didnt get signed until the "uncomfortable" last minute ?
FSG doesn't even know the Pens are still playing. If they did they would see the empty seats. Ticket sales might be close to 100% now, but that is going to drop next season, and will continue as the team continues to struggle. Maybe then they will pay attention.
Dump him.
Time for Sully to go . He can't adjust to new play style and his changing players . In fact , time for the Staff to go . Pens have wasted a lot of talent on that team . And Letang needs to be taught how to play Defense . Almost every Goal Against Letang is on the Ice . He needs to retire .
Sometimes you have to say things to keep your job and not rock the boat .
Firing Sully solves nothing. Does anyone really think any other coach can do anything with this team? The team cannot compete in this league they are to old and slow. No coaching change will fix this. The pens are about to go thru a very brutal rebuild, it will probably take years similar to EDM and CHI
FSG knows nothing about evaluating hockey coaches or the fact that they get fired all the time. Dubas has no idea how to specifically hire a powerplay coach or how to fire Coach Suckagain and hire a new coach. Dubas has no idea how to hire a GM and still hasn't. Seriously Dubas got injury riddled Matt Murray in Toronto to go with other crap moves. Karlsson is our John Tavares. Trade Letang and PO Joseph to Montreal for Mike Matheson and Arber Xhekaj. Also figure out how to get Logan Mailloux and refresh the Pens D through Montreal. P.S. It is as simple as the Peter Laviolette model, and the Pens/Mike Sullivan mutually agree to part ways at seasons end!
Must get a new power play coach. IT CAN'T BE WORSE
Hindsight is 20/20 . . . trying to "retool" on the fly with an aging Core by adding more 30+ year old players has failed. Let the "rebuild" begin (get ready for 5+ years of losing as we gradually say farewell to the Core and bring onboard younger players–it won't happen quickly).
Take out his first 18 months and the meathead is what he is, a flop.
This "team" has quit on Sully plain and simple. It's blatant and obvious.
Look, as Penguin fans we have been spoiled with great teams, players, and some great coaches. Now the reality has set in , and the team has hit rock bottom like everyone else does in the NHL. This is what happens when we sell the future for Stanley Cups. The team will rise up to the same status again. You can't dwell in the frustration and the past, but rather keep your head up and see the bright future ahead. The organization is well run and will rise up again. Most of the teams in the league have not had 5 Stanley Cups, yet alone 1 in the last 55 years. An example being Buffalo. Win or lose, the Pens for the most part, play an unpredictable, risky, and exciting brand of hockey that drives me crazy! This is entertaining. I live in Montreal watching the Habs play a boring, predictable, put me to sleep game, that brings out no emotion whatsoever for the last 30 years. Hang tight and be positive. Rome wasn't built in a day. Think of Toronto and all their blunders. When was the last time they won? 1967?
come on DK, spill the beans
Put your job over your feelings bud. You do it for every other coach in the city. You sound WAYYYY to attached to this guy.
