Hex is still enacting that grand plan that can not be put into the written word...

Honestly I'd respect it if all we did was add a 6/7D that plays the side that we have like a bigilion of dollars locked into. Sure, why the (frank) not.

If Hex does what he should do and uses this TDL to shed capspace, trade expiring contracts for picks and look to retool in the offseason with an eye on 2023/2024, He won't be the one to do it. He'll be fired

If he wants to save his job he needs to either stand pat and hope the current roster can win at least 2 rounds, or he needs to go all in and at the least look like he's trying to do something

I think he's gone at the end of the year. Most of his "remodel" moves have sucked bad. I don't think he has the flexibility to make enough moves to give this team a punchers chance. They're not getting out of the east. Hell, they're not beating the B's or Carolina. Selling would probably be the wise choice and try fixing things in the offseason when it's a little easier.

Ok. Good dive. Feel free to hit him in the head when he isn’t looking now.

So up here we're getting the full broadcast. As in Sportsnet is using their broadcast team and not the Pens'. Anyway, they just said the Pens are 7th overall in both PP and PK at home this season. Found that pretty interesting.

About as one sided as a 2-1 period could be.

Classic shot of the bench after that goal. Everyone with mile long stares. They know.

Another thing Yohe said, was that the players have been hoping for help from Hextall for a month.

Penguins should keep in mind that is a possible 1st round opponent for us. We could add the top 10 available trade targets and we still wouldnt beat that team.

Carolina is going to add something good too. I think the owner made some comments to that effect.

Yeah but Sid sticks to the same post game vanilla comments game after game. At some point you gotta call out your teammates and organization. He’s the only guy that can do it and ppl will listen.

But hey “get to our game” “we gotta figure this out” “we’ll see what we are made of” has been working all season I guess
