Anyone else feel like EK65 has gotten worse as the season went on? Almost like he’s lost confidence as the season has gone on.

Didn’t help that Malkin skated into him then turned and glided to the bench, leaving Pettersson with no speed or center options.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Bruins 3/9/24
Sully was going to teach him finer points to his defensive game. We heard that before the season started.Take the Body Shoot the Puck wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 5:37 pm Anyone else feel like EK65 has gotten worse as the season went on? Almost like he’s lost confidence as the season has gone on.

Pettersson is forgiven if that was intention to tank for the bottom

Sullivan needs to put his total effort into coaching the USA Olympic team.

Bunting needs to call Zarley Zalapski to get some perspective on getting traded form a contender to trash. Or Ryan Whitney.

Well being told they way you are used to playing (which earned you Norris trophies and scoring a ton of points) is wrong and being forced to play a completely different way, will do that to you.Take the Body Shoot the Puck wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 5:37 pm Anyone else feel like EK65 has gotten worse as the season went on?

Not played well by Ned going down there.Terrible effort from everyone getting back on that goal.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Bruins 3/9/24
some say the Reaves trade killed the team. It was trading Fleury and a 2nd to protect Murray instead if dealing him for a ransom and getting a goalie to expose in return.

I really don’t understand how Mike Sullivan is still the head coach of this team.

Overreacting to the 2022 Playoff Loss to the Rags and making Matheson and Marino the scapegoats was bad as well.
Thus team has overturned half its Defense(Matheson,Marino >Petry,Ruuttaa>Karlsson,Graves) in 3 Years spent a ton of $$ on the Position and are where they are.

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Bruins 3/9/24
Funny thing is the team has some good pieces. With $12mill in cap space this off season they can ice a competitive team on paper. But Sully can't be the coach. Need a new system, voice.

Agree with the Fleury trade being the line of demarcation .They haven't been a serious contender since that took place.DelPen wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 5:52 pmthere have been a ton of doubling down mistakes. but it all started with not keeping Fleury.Zalapski33 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 5:51 pmOverreacting to the 2022 Playoff Loss to the Rags and making Matheson and Marino the scapegoats was bad as well.

Good result. Get blown out every game here forward to ensure a coaching change in the offseason.

I don't think even Jay Caufield can spin this one in the post-game show.
Wouldn't surprise me if he and Colby just pull out bottle and start drinking on air.
