Fire Dubas.
Remember a month ago when I said quit covering for Sullivan… 9:00 here you continue to do it when the proofs been in the pudding for the last 3 years at least. That’s how we know! I mean is this Mike Sullivans burners account with an AI Voice changer? I’m starting to get suspicious Mike I mean DK… one win doesn’t erase 3 years of sucking! This is like when you said don’t spend money on the pirates lazy…. It’s like when you know you’re wrong you just can’t handle ADMITTING IT! It’s time Mike I mean DK… and that doesn’t make it “the easy way.”
You call firing Sullivan and I quote “the easy way out” so I guess we should just cover for the guy forever like you… the easy way would be he coach the team into a winner. Not getting a new coach. Isn’t that his job?
No one covering the Penguins on YouTube seems to be realistic about how dire your personnel situation is. Most of your roster doesn't have positive trade value. You aren't getting back NHL players, and if you do it only extends the amount of time you will be terrible before you start rebuilding.
Sid is one the highest character stars ever to play the game. Should never have made an impossible promise to a guy like that.
I haven't seen every minute of every game, but they just look slow, right? Like, are we too old? Or just not at the same level of skating?
No one can take you seriously when you keep defending the coach, DK
But guys, if most players ore core players are released, where will you get quality NHL-level players overnight? Not from anywhere.
Core players and leaders must take responsibility and motivate themselves, others and to show soul of sportsman.
Sullivan needs to give more icetime to those who want to play. There's nothing to lose, more to win. Anyway you lose if core players not play.
The way I see it is that the Pens are not a head case team. They are a SLOW/old team with little grit. So they can play ok vs the slower teams like the Caps but are behind the puck vs any of the faster teams and that just compounds as the game (and season) goes along. Just think how slow they will be near seasons end? Who do I blame? FSG and Dubus put this team together. Karlsson obviously needs to go..he should be the first to go. He was a very bad choice.
At what point does Sully say this team is hurting my resume? Or are they going to keep him until after the olympics. He is the U.S. hockey coach. Maybe they are thinking they have a coach of "that caliber " they can't let him go. Just throwing darts here. I have no good guess
To completely dump on Sullivan right now is just mind boggling to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's working out with this team anymore, and a shakeup needs done.
Having said that, some of the reactions to him have been flat out disrespectful. This guy was brought in later in his first season, and got this team back to back championships right out of the gate. Something that hadn't been done in this league since 1992. And let's face it, it really hasn't been done since. Tampa's back to back doesn't count… Let's be real here.
As a long time fan, I'm not happy right now either. But Sullivan isn't THE only issue. And at this point, who's going to replace him?
I don't think he's the guy we need behind the bench anymore, but the total lack of respect to the guy isn't deserved.
It's sullivan. It's jarry. It's dubas. It's the defensemen. Nope. It's the fans. They're dumb. Wake up fans. It's an old slow untalented roster that can't be fixed with a goalie or a coach or a new GM or new defensemen. The offense is putrid. The roster is trash. This is called a rebuild. Wake up.
I LOVE the idea of trading everyone but Crosby. This is something Dubas must do if this team is every going to get better. It is one thing to say it, it is something totally different to actually do it.Please make some changes.
The crowd was chanting fire sullivan last night lol DK
Empty seats at home games should tell ownership that change needs to happen
Dubas came into a dumpster fire and you can understand what he’s wanting to do but if your gonna Slowly retool and focus on the future has to start with coaching. Nothing against sully but 10 plus years here 2 Stanley cups that’s pretty good
Who is going to want anyone on this roster except maybe Geno? Maybe Karlsson if you have real defensemen.
Dallas was taking out their frustration of losing to the Jets
Hey DK I've always been a Coach Sully guy I mean the guy only brought home 2 of the best summers of my life back to back but I watched as the announcers were all speechless at the end of the first period and could only muster up only Syd or Mario could turn this around… I'm like what about the coach???!!!… it looked like a game at a rec center last night with Father McGillicutty refereeing with bleachers with no energy in those stands…. is it time to get a firework spark of a new head coach… am I wrong for asking this
Sullivan is not the only one who needs to go. The whole defense is shit. They holding onto Letang. While I love both of them, it's long past time for change. And again, they ain't the only ones who need to go!
And just like that we trade one of the hardest workers on the team
They decided to get old and retain aging talent. This is the result.
Just saw the news, sorry for your loss DK. Hope he is happy back in Washington as he was much better in Pit than I expected him to be.
Eller is gone for 2 picks; a third and a fifth.. He was the one guy I hoped wouldn’t go to the block immediately. What do you think DK?
✌❤🤘
I would sign Debo to a contract just to be the enforcer/ goon for the fray.. Even at his age now..😂 Hockey is football on ice scored like soccer ! 🤪🤯🤣🥁 right?
Hey DK, what do you think about Graves Letang pairing? Bump Grzelcyk down with St-Ivany?
