1 question for Sullivan. 0 for 4 against the 26th ranked PK. Why do you still have a job?

Yeah, I wish we had a real HC Sully. Wish in one hand, **** in the other, see which one fills up first

Good game to watch last night. Point might be very important by season’s end.

Why is this team fighting for a WC position? They in all honesty should be fighting for a top three position in the division with their talent.

To be fair, there’s not much of a difference between 3rd place and where the Pens are now. 3 points out of 3rd. Standings are still so bunched up.

A win against Carolina would go a long way.

Smith needs to show up or be traded at this point
He's been better lately, but Rakell needs to score more consistently
Where did Brian Rust go? Did he come off IR?
DOC needs to find a way to put all these glorious chances in net. He should have at least 10-12 goals by now
The 4th line, regardless of all the recent media hype, really isn't impressive at all.
Oh, and the powerplay sucks b#lls

Looked at the power play rankings. Columbus has a better power play than us :shock: If this team had even a 20% middle of the road power play, they would be firmly in the playoffs.

I'm amazed that they haven't done anything on the coaching staff yet. Bring in a former player, bring in a fresh voice to be a power play consultant. Heck, bring Hornqvist in to yell at the guys. Something needs to give. If they miss the playoffs because they had a horrible power play all season, heads will roll.
