Are we in the mix for a lottery pick this year?

I can't remember how far the lottery goes but the Penguins are currently at the 10th pick.

I think it’s the top 10. If nothing else finish to get a lottery pick this year and give next years first to SJ.

Pretty sure it’s the top 10 (hence the top 10 protected line), but it is a very weighted lottery. Ideally, you want to be in the top 5 for the best shot at moving up.

Is there a Bedard type this year?

[Pitts]

Is there a Bedard type this year?

Top 15 or so are supposed to be pretty good. After that there is apparently a pretty steep drop off. So, top 10 should be good

[Sigwolf]

If things aren’t bad enough, Alex Nylander scored #5 tonight. What gives?

I think we know what gives.

Yes, adrenaline. He will revert back to the mean soon enough.

Kind of like Sullivan as the head coach of the Pens?

Whatever. The kid's been through 4 NHL teams already. You guys go praise him if you want.

I wasn't praising him, at all. I was pointing out that a Sullivan coached team (with multiple future hall-of-famers) has won one playoff round in seven seasons (none in six), yet he is still praised as a fantastic coach beyond reproach. There seems to be a common theme here, but no one in the organization appears to be able to see it. It's almost as if a bottom six plugger as a player has reverted to the mean as a coach.

So, should the fans in the arena tonight expect a handwritten apology letter from the team for "not showing up"?

They should get a button that says "sucker"

[Pitts]

Players can cry all they want. They only have themselves to blame.

[Puck-Lurker]

Dumpster fire of a game. Race to the bottom time

[DelPen]

I can give them a pass for this one game looking like **** because they all knew Jake was in the process of being traded before the game started.

But they have looked exactly like this a lot the last 4 years with no distractions or adversity. This coaching staff continually does not have their teams ready to play.
