Dean Evason let go in Minnesota. I always felt like this team over-achieved under him. Their forward depth has minimal top-end talent. Also they have $15mill in dead cap space for next year as well with the Suter, Parise buyouts. Tough sledding in Minnesota. Guess Guerin in safe as he just hired for...

Part of me says there’s no way this rumor can be true, then it’s the Blackhawks. Anything is entirely possible with that franchise…

Living in Sweden I usually have to watch the games on the day after. So here is my late take. - Not the best game the pens ever played, but not a bad one either. After two losses where they kind of deserved a better fate I am happy with this one. - Acciari was on an absolute mission. Even Carter ha...

Josh Yohe @JoshYohe_PGH In their last 64 regular season games, the Penguins have 19 wins in regulation. That's hot garbage right there. This team was a disjointed mess and was not ready to start the season. Now they are chasing it and have lost 4 out of 5. And they are lucky that they haven't been i...

Sullivan needs to explain how moving the player that gets the most power play points, (Geno), off the top power play unit to play Vinnie Hinostroza makes any sense at all. Yes Geno has been struggling of late. But that’s not the answer. It’s not the personnel, it’s the strategy and mindset. Team has...

Coach Sullivan: "They got a power play goal that got them some juice and we've got to be better at pushing back."

This power play strategy is similar to last season when Sully used the McGinn-Carter-Kapanen 3rd line forevvvvaaa until Hextall finally did something.

We don't have the time to just let them figure it out. They obviously need a new strategy and ideas for the PP.

Of the last 11 times Pens have lost a game when leading after 2 periods, 5x they had MULTIPLE-GOAL LEADS. Just inexcusable.

What a garbage loss. Once things start getting physical the Pens lose their heads and structure.

Blown leads. It’s just the same old stuff year after year.

Now under .500 after Thanksgiving.

Sensing an ENG forthcoming shortly

He was fired up pre-game ripping on the power play.

I agree the power play needs changes, but I’m not sure I would have Hinostroza on the top unit. Injuries or not.

The ups and downs. They are a .500 team for a reason. Once again the power play can’t come through.

Tough break for Karlsson there

Didn’t see a penalty on Geno there

Has the NHL seen the Blackhawks logo?? They are their own worst enemy.

We'll take it. We need the points any way we can get them. Going to be real tough to make the playoffs in the East.

Great finish by Eller

PK has been solid this season. I bet our putrid power play never scores on them in practice.

Rust back at practice full contact. Looking like he'll play today. Per Sullivan, he skated in regular jersey, but he is not in the lineup tonight. Rakell injury is reportedly something new, not a nagging injury. Boo. Hopefully Rust will be back tomorrow. We don't have the depth to sustain injuries ...

Coffey wasn't here long enough to be an all-time great Pen in my opinion. Only 3.5 years. He's an all-time great player obviously, but I would put Francis or Fleury ahead of him.

Admin wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 4:45 pm Ron Francis ahead of Fleury?

I was thinking the same thing. I heard it on the radio. I actually didn’t even think of Fleury .

I went with Mario, Sid, Jagr, Malkin, Francis

So 9-9 at the Thanksgiving break. Still can't beat the Devils, Rangers and Canes. Power play is still garbage. Feels a lot like last season part deux.

Reirden has compromising pictures of Sully with farm animals…..it’s the only explanation for him remaining behind the bench. Madden was claiming the other day that Reirden doesn't really have much of the PP responsibility. It's really Sullivan. I haven't paid much attention to see if Reirden is act...

I nominate Hornqvist to coach the power play
