Maybe if Mario handles The Shero db situation better we get the coach we wanted. Lots of blame to go around

what coach could you possibly have wanted that was available?

Dedjardans was the man they wanted.... The one ressererecting the nucks saw how unprofessionally the pens handled db and ran about as far away as possible

It's ok it's only one game in the regular season...it's not a big deal at all lets just worry about righting the ship in the playoffs.

Harrington +4th for Kassian
or
Spaling for Bergenheim

I'm excited to see even some of the haters realize this teams failures to be champs every single year is only minorly in the corner of Shero db. Its in the players. Starting with Crosby and working down.

I just don't understand the constant need to keep sill in. He's adams 2.0. It just baffles me how he keeps him in the lineup. Hopefully his 2 bonehead penalties are enough to send him packing back to wbs

Half the players are garbage because there isn't enough cap to go around to fill the holes adequately. I know Malkin's cap will be a bargain when he's 37. Back to Shero, with Harrington, Dumo, and Pouliott finally getting ice time, its even more evident he didn't have a clue how to draft. None of them are ready to be NHL regs and maybe signing Scuds was the best thing he did because those picks have been terrible. I know once Comeau is healthy, everything will be good!

Yup let's buy up all the FAs we can because it works so well for the Yankees.

It's pointless to just throw bodies out on the ice and never address any underlying issues. inexperienced prospects being expected to play like seasoned vets isn't going to prove successful either. This team has so many issues right now I would never expect any of the prospects to step in and shine right now.

Perhaps now some of you see what I see 4 minutes of PP time in OT. Are you freaking kidding me. I haven't seen that ever.

Visor fighting is now cool?

Elbows crosschecks.

Stick foul and too many men. LOL. We get PP's when theres elbows to the heads and our best dman goes to the hospital. Its beyond conspiracy.

Stick Slam Ref Gate IS Real.

Also Adams is beyond useless. Nothing from him. EVER. Should be released. At least Sill, Farnham, Downie had some balls.

That was super brutal. Absolutely nothing has changed. Mike Johnston may have been a great strategic coach in jrs, but the NHL is full of NHL coaches. I'm expecting the Hawks to tune up the Penguins without any trouble.

Mike Grabcock is going to leverage some poor team and get Detroit to pay him his $10M. I just don't think he'll leave to come and try to finally develop Malkin and Letang. If the Bruins fire Julien, hire him. Otherwise give me Jacques Martin and a 1_2_2 trap.

Nope, still Adams> Sill.

babcock would be worth every penny.

Yeah, I would basically offer him the moon to come to Pittsburgh. He would be calling Adams an bumhole on day one and chain Kunitz to the goal posts.

Malkin's cap becomes a bagin next year. Duh

i do think the officiating has been pretty bad this year. but the bottom line is they had 6 powerplays and didnt convert a single one.

yeah. i know the players are ultimately the guys on the ice, but i do think he would be great for this team. its sad that they need it, but i think he could just walk into the room and own it.

Yep. One powerplay goal and it's a very different mood here tonight. Lots of cute passes though.

cannot wait until hornqvist is back.

It's the old 1 point is better than 0 points. Metro is getting congested & thanks to the Oilers that have AWOL from their objective - (frank)in Oilers just cannot do anything right. , has given us breathing space.

Sounded like a game of anarchy hockey - Bartley was pleased, but why complain, the system has absolutely no integrity. Suspensions based on injury, judiciary hearings based on who the offender is & rules that are officiated when the game needs adjustment to favour a certain team! The officials are biased not just in this game but so many listening to other games.

Rinaldo appears to have confirmed his intent with his comments, he should see 10-20 games on the side line starting AFTER Letang comes back from injury if he misses any games. Any player who intends to injure needs to be rubbed out. Zero tolerance - he confirmed that with what he said he has absolutely no regret with what he did & how it turned out. Time to make a statement Bettman & regain some type of integrity.

Anyway what predictions for tomorrow? Hawks by 4? They have been struggling probably worse than us. We can get a team back into form though.

Go Pens.

F out shooting opponents by a trillion & getting scored against 1-0.

The 3rd team to implement metrics in the past 4 years: Carolina. 0 cups in 4 years and to boot, the same guy to implement them there is now with us!
