Welcome back Ludvig.

Would get Rakell back in the top 6. He's been a ghost on the 3rd line. Puljujarvi looks solid and can play up and down the lineup.

Would be nice if there was a team with a total of $9 million being spent on a LD who is good on actual defense and a 3rd line wing they might be overpaying for and need a change that we could swap Rakell and Graves for them.

I would be surprised if Dubas doesn't make a hockey trade or two to change up the dynamic of the roster.

Should be an interesting game. Winnipeg couldn’t be happy with the last result.

2nd game in a row that Graves does the wrong thing deep in the offensive end and causes an odd man break the other way because he screws over the forwards by a bizarre move they aren’t planning on so they don’t cover for him.

He needs to go. Worse signing than Jack Johnson.

And Graves driving to the net and misses the pass to the point to allow a 3-1 break.

Winnipeg killing the Pens in transition.
Graves is an absolute disaster and is playing even worse than ever.
Another lousy start Sully.

Twice tonight he has created huge chances for Winnipeg by jumping into the piay.
He is a liability all over the ice.

I keep saying this but either this team is doing exactly what he wants or are tuning him out completely. And since he’s not calling anyone out or making changes to players of consequence he either approves of how the team is playing or has also quit on the team.

Sullivan thinks the way he keeps preparing this team to play NHL games will eventually work if they get some bounces. But if you are. a player under 25, god help you if you actually try playing hockey in a manner that is suited to the NHL after 2018.

I actually thought that, until the goal, this may have been some of the best skating this team has done in awhile. They were chasing down pucks and hustling like it was game 7 of a playoff series. Especially Rust.

But Sully seems to be fine with mediocrity, fine with just talking about how they played a great game but just didn't execute. Well, if you keep losing games...you are playing good or the better team. And if it is all execution...how long before failure to execute gets a look towards the coaching?
