If I'm an opposing coach I challenge every close Pens goal, what's the worst that can happen? Pens get a power play?

If we get a PP goal here we are making the playoffs.

Geez Letang, get your head in the game, it's kind of an important one.

Wouldn't shoot with a good look in the Detroit Zone,then decides to hang on to the puck instead of making the safe smart play.

The PP is historically bad. Bob Grove should put out one of his random tweets of where this Pens PP ranks in the teams history.

I'd say the pathetic PP is a real momentum killer but the team has to be expecting nothing on the PP and just hoping no SHG, so it probably isn't.

There is still no plan on what to do on the PP. It’s one of four things, whichever assistant is in charge of it want to do something that works but Sully vetoes it, the assistant put together this garbage and Sully approves, an assistant put it together and Sully is too much of a coward to veto it (not likely) or Sully is in charge of it in total.

In any case, PP failure is reason alone to fire Sullivan even ignoring all the other horrendous things this team has done in JUST the last two seasons.

Define PPG. I don't think the Pens know what that is.

Puustinen with strong energy every shift so far.
Reilly Smith just a huge weakness.1 Goal in his last 18 Games.Had a great chance and whiffed here.

I’d hate to think they are that fragile that losing in OT to the Leafs has got in their heads. But all the Toronto media said the Leafs sunk Dubas so I guess they believed the hype? (and that’s ridiculous on every level possible, Toronto media is a joke)

Agreed.Too many bad decisions with the puck in all areas.Not sharp at all.

I think it’s the second worst. One of the early years was worse.

Malkin didn’t impede the play at all, bad call.
