Break up the lines 1and 4 and 2 and 3 or whatever combination because this looks really bad right now.
😶
All i hear is blah blah blah. Pretty much the same way last year ended.
But we have the CORE 3 ! How can we lose ? Doesn’t the league know that
Ur right about 2an5 being a hard hill to climb. DK. It's early so hopefully it starts to turn around
And DK the blah blah wasn't meant about u. It was for coach Sullivan
Fire Sully…..clearly they have zoned him out
Need to change the coaching cleary
Go back and listen to dk days after the karlsson trade what a complete 180 lol dude just a click bait analyst
Dk was dead wrong about Lars being a 20 goal guy and what we needed on the 3rd line. Really wonder why I listen to this guy. But that a easy fix for me 👋
It goes back to what I said last week they have to play hard for 60 minutes and not 20 minutes Nedeljkovic played pretty solid till the 3 rd so it’s not goaltending
Being hard to play against is getting harder and harder to watch. With all the experience and talent on the Pens, Sullivan might as well let the players choose their own lines, defensive pairings and style of play for the next six games and see what happens. Can't be worse than what's happening now. The team is not buying what Sully is selling. He should adapt or take his right way of playing approach – and Carter – and be shown exit stage left by Dubas.
It’s obnoxious how often it seems like the pens play well enough to win, but they can’t score goals. I can’t lie and you can’t deny the fact too, the opposing teams goaltenders have played GREAT against us as well. Regardless of no screens lol, but still. You make some decent points as well.
Yeah, I’ve been a Sullivan defender, but it’s time to let him go.
Go to the net, fight harder! And sit Carter in the press box.
The first period was awesome… I was so hopeful. Then Dallas slowly just took over.
They just need to play the game right and become difficult to play against. If I can spout this as a casual fan, imagine how many times the players have heard it.
I after watching and being a loyal fan for decades……..same problems same results. HO-HUM………………
I like Sullivan but I'm getting a feeling that it his time to move on.
This team is completely unable to drive to the net, screen the goalie, or elevate a puck. Another goalie that “had a great night” who barely had to move. This team looks completely lost, and I fear unless they change the coach and assistant coach (who is terrible in my opinion), I don’t think anything will change
This season I’ve been seeing the top two lines just don’t have the speed or finesse to beat anyone. The PP which for this team needs to click at 80%, passes too much and never makes the goalie work. Each of these lines would benefit from a young 20-23 year olds legs and energy.
Exactly. Same old same old. Not scoring enough and not shooting the puck on the power play.
The second half of that game they were just lifeless, like they just gave up after that hit.
I do kinda agree with the question though, I could see trading Guentzel to get some physicality but who knows.
most nhl goals are not beautiful
Hard to watch.
