I like it! Could be the next Reg Dunlop and play for another 10 years.

Antonio wrote: Thu Feb 15, 2024 10:26 pm Well I read today that Sullivan did say something to the effect of "we need to redefine what we mean by winning" or something similar. As long they "compete hard" or something, that's a victory.
It's easy Sully. Winning is any night where you get 2 points. If we go about redefining what words mean... how about we redefine "firing the coach" as "supporting the coach fully and providing them with an opportunity to seek employment elsewhere"?

Add in Rust and Geno have always been very good together makes it even more absurd.

I think we could get a 1st rounder from NJ for Ned right now.

Yup. For some reason Sully has always tried to will Rakell and Geno to work together. Rakell always looks his best and engaged when he plays with Sid.

Found the quote. It was from the trib live article. I found it... amusing?

"After practice on Tuesday, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan talked about “rethinking what winning looks like in Pittsburgh.”

Great. Maybe he can start showing us by resigning.

Someone told me recently that White actually played in the NHL before. I called them a liar.

Sully probably just going with a shorter bench. He only plays veterans he trusts in third periods…

I see Puljujarvi has been stapled to the bench too. He plays too physical for Sullivan's liking.

Maybe PoolParty? 48 and 20 were out there with 77 just now and I think that was the line when Eller hit the post too. Saw Gruden on the bench but could see him being the guy not rotated in to the three lines now.

And it’s just a short bench and rolling three lines because Puustinen, Puljujarvi and Gruden aren't worth playing.

Sullivan coaches like he played. We need as many plugs in the lineup as possible!

He would have loved Craig Adams or playing for Bylsma.
