Usually a team playing like **** to get their goalie pulled responds with more effort. These guys didn’t react at all.
Usually a team playing this **** to a team below them in the standings, when said **** team was supposed to be a "fringe playoff team," and when said **** team has done this same song and dance the prior 2 seasons...the coach of said **** team should be canned.
But, the Penguins are the master of excuses. They'll give Sullivan a pass because there was no Geno in the lineup.
Nice move and setup by Timmins for Hayes to get the tap in,he couldn't do his customary passing up a shot in deep there.
Timmins has been decent from the second he got to Pittsburgh.
I wonder what a guy like Timmons thinks seeing a guy like Graves getting 20M+ contract and he’s fighting for this NHL life. Also, those In PITT saying Gryz has been great fit for the us - I just don’t know what they see. He’d had a ton of PP work all season and has a worst defensive stick the Karlsson - and that’s saying alot.
He’s fine as a 2nd pairing or 3rd pairing guy on a much more structured and defensive team - someone that can help on the PP but got he’s awful 5on5. Career high in points be damned? He’s garbage
We may have the worst 3 defensive defensemen in the entire league all on one team - as far as net front D and breaking up a rush.

Gryz is garbage and has been all year. He's got a bunch of assists because of the time he's gotten on the pp but as a D man he's trash. On a real team he'd be a solid sheltered 3rd pairing and would be a fine option but for what he's used for here he's worthless.
Going belly up late in the year proves how this Team is tuning out Sully and mailing it in.They might drop behind Buffalo,Seattle,and Anaheim in the overall standings now.
With this complete disconnect from this Coach on how to grasp the way this current NHL is played this Organization cannot even dare to attempt to allow whatever Young Draft and WBS Players to be scarred with his touch.Right now it is very likely will fall into the better Position via this Upcoming Draft and hopefully get a strong Player.This has to be rebuilt with a new voice.Period.

Looking at the box score. Tomasino only played 8 minutes a change. Did he get hurt?
Also, Koly played the same amount. I assume he was riding the pine for no reason whatsoever ??
Tomasino wasnt hurt,guessing the Top 2-3 Coach decided whatever skill he has made him the 10th or 11th Forward tonight with Bemstrom.
Kolyachonok clearly wasn't going to do as good Defending as the High Paid Top 4 Defense of Letang,Gryz,Graves or EK so they figured his being the 7th D-Man was the right approach in this System that is last in the NHL in Goals Allowed on Pace for 300 Goals given up.
Nice loss for the standings.. we need two more out of next three games, then its officialy over for the players I think. Mission impossible to sneak into playoffs with some late season miracle run.
Sully never dissapoints which players he sticks to the bench in blowouts and they play much less than others.. never the worst vets lol!? Such a biased moron..
Loved the reaction from Rusty when Sid scored.. he went to the goal to pick up the puck and was super happy for Sid in the group hug
