PK still thinks the Pens are trying to be cup contenders apparently.
This team is retooling and has been since the Jake trade.
We need to keep getting younger, get some more skill in the lineup with a new young coach.

I think it’s cumulative with JR, RH and Dubas. Starts with the expansion draft, then the Ryan Reeves experiment, JR quitting and then poor cap management and the Hextall , Dubas trades and signings. Only common denominator is Sullivan and the core.

This mess is on Dubas to solve. Sullivan is part of that mess.
Dubas has been fine --- this season. Sullivan hasn't.

At the 10:00 mark of the 3rd, I saw 2 holding and a boarding with no call.

Malkin’s hold was much less what I saw.

Has to happen.Nieto,Acciari,Beauvillier,Hayes,Glass all need to be moved out.
They aren't trading the Underperforming Letang but simply have to part with Karlsson.Ned should be traded at the Deadline.
The Younger Forwards in WBS (Kouuvinen,Ponomorev,McGroarty and Broz) have to be on this Roster next Year.As do Pickering on Defense and Brunicke in the near future.Blomqvist and Murashov have to be in the mix as Goaltenders.
But the Coach has to be changed.None of this Rebuild will happen with this System and how he utilizes his Players.

Heinen gets a gimmie off the rebound from the Tomasino shot.
Tomasino is one guy who played decently today.

Capitals playing all their big guns on the power plays late in a 6-2 game. F*****g losers! I hate Ovechkin! That Putin lover is a POS.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Caps 2/22/24
Blomqvist trusting Letang to hustle back on this Goal should teach him a Lesson about the way that guy is playing at this point in his career.
"Core Guy" Free from any concern about being held accountable for his play.

Tomasino has been very good since he’s been here. The coach just can’t move him up from the 3rd line. He doesn’t trust his defensive game.Zalapski33 wrote: Sat Feb 22, 2025 5:44 pmHeinen gets a gimmie off the rebound from the Tomasino shot.

Hey Coach. We are like a bottom 3 team in goals against. Whatever you’re doing isnt working !

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Caps 2/22/24
After the 2 Week break the Shameful Effort from this Group is the Daisy Cutter on a miserable Season.Back up the Truck.
From the middle of the 2nd Period it was a complete inept performance in every area.
There was Zero Effort to compete in the 3rd Period from every guy on this Team.
Ned was the main culprit but the entire Defensive Effort was pathetic.No one had a clue.
When it got to 3-2 Caps this Top 2-3 Coach decided that playing his System was going to work.We saw the result.
Just a Real Shame that on a Day where the Great Mike Lange was given that Heartfelt, Emotional ,Well Deserved Tribute this was the kind of Game that took place.He deserved better.

Don't forget the egg they laid last year on Jagr jersey retirement night.

My first game in a long time. Great seats and that was some ugly hockey. Especially in the second. What an embarrassment

At least Buffalo is winning. Hopefully the Penguins finish last in the East.

In the long run this is a good result. Glad to see Sid, Geno, Rakell and Tomasino picking up points.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Caps 2/22/24
And just like that, the 4 Nations hangover began. Crosby playing with sub-prime line mates; EK playing with a group of forwards that are unable to cover his defensive duties; RR from the mountain of pride; a head coach that stood behind the bench and offered little lineup intelligence.
Welcome back, boys.

Was Dan Kingerski always such a Sullivan's hard fan or why is he defending him so much on X? Jeez.. looks pathetic

It will be an interesting game against the Rangers. Both teams allowed 8 goals last night.

Half this team plays a game that looks like they are on their period.
The other half looks like they've reached menopause.
