Say what you will about some of Dubas’s other moves and it is a small sample size, but the Tomasino trade is seeming like a really smart move that works well within Sully’s system. He had zero goals in 11 games with Nashville this season and already has 2 in just 3 games with Pittsburgh so far
DK, has any of the vets stepped up to kick some a$$ and really lead behind the scenes? If not, can this team succeed in the long run without it?
😶
DK glad to have you back after a few days off, hope you and the family had a great Thanksgiving!
#J1Q I really enjoyed the question you chose to answer from Derek. I’ve been paying a lot more attention to the WBS Pens this year because frankly.. they are FUN to watch. Poulin is such a strange situation. Have you spent much time with this kid? What is it that causes him to go play like an animal in Wilkes then come up to the show and sputter out? In my opinion it has nothing to do with Sullivan but that’s as far as my opinion or idea goes. How come we haven’t seen any of the others? Broz, Hollowell, Bemstrom? Why is it Poulin that always gets the call?
It's crazy how a 3 game win streak can change perspective. The last few weeks, I was pretty willing to accept the Pens were going to be a bottom 5 team for the next half decade, and now I'm thinking maybe they can turn this around. Idk, maybe I shouldn't be so pessimistic haha
We need Hoglander
Jesse sitting because of Nieto is freakin' lunacy
Hey it’s only a 3 game winning streak! Wait for the next 25 plus games to see what happens! So far another disappointing season underway!!
Thanks DK – fun part of the rollercoaster ride
3 game winning streak is a positive development, let's hope they can have a positive month of December!
3 game winning streak is a disaster. There's a risk of magical thinking reappearing for a team that clearly isn't good enough. If someone peaks at a level that makes them tradeable and you do it, then maybe it's a positive.
All the credit goes to Dubas for this 3 game win streak. All of the credit has to go to him since it's his fault when they lose! (So much sarcasm it hurts)
This week will be telling to what this team is, we have some legit competition coming up over the next week and a bit
well, maybe they'll turn it around now.
Wait, what am I saying?
This team isn't built to win….meaning they aren't going to be a playoff team…i thought at best bottom 10…..these 'wins' on the scoresheet and with the individual members of the team hopefully help build something that materializes into something before Sidney retires……
Thank you @DK….100% it isn't that sullivan doesn't play young guys…this is professional sports…you perform…young guys haven't been performing….Pusty has been given the direction to shoot….and he hasn't shoot the puck (you shared this example but this is what I always think of)…the players need to do their end…..and they don't so Sullivan doesn't reward them…full context is required in these labels we throw around bout sullivan
Another Awesome Shot DK!
It's broken clock territory, any team with Crosby on it and some competent players will find wins. It doesn't really matter with how deep we dug that hole. #FreePuljujärvi
my main issue with this team, and coming from someone whos accepted the inevitable downfall unlike some other people, is the complete lack of camaraderie between each other. example, nieto blocks a shot on the PK and clearly hobbled him, he's going back the bench and none, absolutely none of the players are standing up banging their sticks, or give him a pat besides the equipment manager who gave him one. no, it's not the coach who needs to be the one to instill that, that's bullshit. that comes from "the boys", it's such a simple thing that gets the players engaged and stuff players like hornqvist did so wee
well the Vancouver win was because they scored enough goals for Jarry not to blow it. Two solid after that.
Thank you DK. They are playing better and still need to improve. If they want to keep winning they need to fight for that puck. Lets go Pens ! Love being here DK
I wish The Penguins could trade Karlsson back to The Senators. Pay half his salary or whatever to get Brady Tkachuk. Throw in draft picks if you have to. That kid is a leader, averages 30g a season, doesn't take a night off & doesn't take sh*t from anyone. Sid could then pass the torch to him someday.
Remember that this is what they're capable of, when they inevitably tune out the coach again and go on another tailspin. Fire Sully.
Hey DK, the penguins need to get on a winning streak because I hate when it comes and goes, but I know it's the way of the games.
Between Vancouver being tired and Boston and Calgary struggling….and the Pens trending upward have set up the Pens up for success. Can they play hard against the Panthers?
