Up next the Caps. Gotta get a win next series. Can’t dig an early hole.

Flyers have had some very nice puck luck these two games in what I've seen. I didn't see any of their first 3 in this game..

Jarry looked rougher than a 5 dollar hooker after a Saturday night at a frat party. Right from the get go he looked shaky.

This was an unfortunate game. Pens made too many mistakes early and Jarry couldn't bail them out, but the Pens played a very good game overall.

Geno's line doing nothing.

Sid is basically playing a man down with erod strapped to his line.

Sullivan does nothing to change it up. Mtl series all over again

11 GA in 2 games. Ain’t gonna win too many games like that. Geno is a ghost of his former self.

No veteran backup in Goal. Buckle up!

Haha yeah. They really did play a solid game, but I do think the top six has been too quiet.

Geno, Guentz and Rust have been MIA. Zucker has had a few moments....he's at least skating hard. Erod....well, he's a joke.

Too much of their game is dependent on perfect passing. Not enough simple hockey and driving the net.

Yup who would of thought the 3rd line would be carrying the team a week ago. Def some changes need to be made. If they lose I hope it’s gonna be blowouts so that change will eventually be forced whether it’s by sully or Ruth

Coaching is the problem, Look at the way the Flyers dzone coverage cycled and look at how the Pens are just hope and praying the aggressive pressure will cause a breakdown. Offense isnt any better, if they dont score off the rush and Sid isnt there to throw the team on his back then they mine as well just skate back to the bench.

Sullivan has expired. Is Gallant still available?

Imagine being able to play Crosby Malkin letang and Guentzel together, then throwing out a 3rd line with Marino and Petterson then firing right back with the big boys as a head coach. Then choosing not too. Sullivan is poop.

Pens are just not a very good team right now. No matter how you slice it or how many different line combos you try. The vets look slow and old and the rest of the roster is full of plugs. This is on GM and then Head Coach. They blew up the assistants but let Sullivan keep his job. Still don’t understand why.

I’m preparing for a long short season. It’s going to be back to backs against some really tough teams.

I’d love to see Gallant here! Who’s taking over as GM though?

Can’t wait for the Sullivan presser. “We are a resilient group. We did a lot of good things out there. But we gave up too many quality chances in the danger areas”. Rinse and repeat.

Watching Sullivan, paired with the fact he never had one nhl fight while being a poop player in the 90s pisses me off so much.

Is this team as bad as their record? I'm not so sure, Philadelphia has a good team.

One thing I am sure of is this, a couple injuries and this team is toast.

PHI is good, NYI are too, so are the Caps and Bruins. Buffalo improved a lot. Pens will be occupying the bottom of the table with the NJD and Rags.

And Matt Murray got a win today. If that doesn’t add insult to the injury also.

HCMS: “I don't think games can be pinned on any one person. We win as a team and we lose as a team. To [Jarry’s] defense, some of the chances were high quality. I thought we were the better team tonight. But we couldn't convert on ours and they were opportunistic”. Yawn.

Will he ever say “This is on me, guys. I have no clue what I’m doing”?
