Official GDT: Pens vs Oilers 3/10/24

[pronovost19]

Gotta put Carter on the power play . Instead of going with young Bemstrom.

Now is the time of the year to see the young guys get their chances.

Carter gets away with that. Any young player does that = dog house

[Crash66]

Sully still thinks they're making the playoffs.

[maopens]

The decisions of who to play and who to sit should be enough to merit a coaching change alone.

Who in their right mind plays a 39 year old on a short back-to-back?

Nice start to this one.

[Crash66]

Is Carter chasing some personal milestone I don't know about?

[Southern Fan]

Letang doesn’t look right sitting on the bench.

[KG]

Yep. Carter keeps deserving regular shifts after that selfish penalty.

Meanwhile Bemstrom has played less than 2 minutes this period.

[Skatingpen]

Yep. Carter keeps deserving regular shifts after that selfish penalty.

Meanwhile Bemstrom has played less than 2 minutes this period.

I can’t help but think this is all being done on purpose. What that purpose is, I don’t know yet

[Zalapski33]

Letang's main career weakness on display all Period.His lousy decision making that invariably costs the team.7 games where he has bottomed out.
Malkin not much better.First shift gives it away, won't shoot,terrible Offensive Zone decisions.
Rust looked full of energy all period.
Nothing as usual from the PP,which is the common thread all Year.
Scratching Puljujarvi another move from Sully that is simply not called for.Guy plays with physicality and needs to be out there.

[Maestro]

Admittedly I was watching Liverpool v. City but that doesn't take away from the truth that Carter serves no more purpose for this team.

[maopens]

Maybe Sullivan is all-in on the Jeff Carter Farewell Tour? Giving him all the minutes he wants prior to riding off into retirement?

[Badger Bob]

I refuse to watch this team until they fire Sullivan. It's a joke. I'd rather watch a Pirates pre-season game.

[Maestro]

So Sully puts 1 player's interests ahead of what's best for the team which would be playing guys who will be part of rebuild.

[Maestro]

Jagr's there again. Sign him for the next 50 days as co-head coach.
Force Sully to step aside.

[penny lane]

Jaromir was traded ahead of the dark days in 2002. Didn't experience futility.

[Maestro]

Too many men on PP at home. Lol

[maopens]

Get a Power Play

Immediately get a too many men penalty.

The Power Play just keeps on showing off.

[KG]

Bemstrom is only good for serving too many men on the ice penalties.

[Zalapski33]

Too many men on the ice penalty while on the rush during a PP.
Stuff not seen that often in this league.

[KG]

Notice how every good power play makes the PK collapse down low. Not our power play. Ever.

[Maestro]

Jagr plays with younger guys on the team he owns. He can relate to guys with less skill/ different generation while also knowing what it's like to be truly elite.

[maopens]

This is a poorly coached team but they do try to overcome it with poor motivation and execution.

[Maestro]

Bemstrom isn't bad.

[KG]

Good job Ludvig . Not a great defenseman but he stands up for his teammates

[maopens]

John Ludvig would like to have a job next year.

[E-Ramone]

Man, this entire organization needs an enema. Meanwhile, Ludvig showing more energy than 90% of the team. Prob time to send him down.
