Anyone still not sold on Ned being a significant upgrade over DeSmith?

We changed GM’s and he changed as much as the roster that was possible and on paper it looked like an improvement yet we look worse than last year. Only thing left that hasn’t changed besides the core since 2018 is Sullivan. They can’t be moved and for the most part aren’t a problem.

Sullivan needs to go, Rierden too but he never should had been brought back. Velluci with his own staff can’t be any worse.
I'm all for seeing what Velluci could do as HC and pretty sure he and Dubas can find a replacement for Reirden.
Yeah man, watching that PP in the first period made me think the only explanation can be that they’re trying to get somebody fired. It just seems illogical that five guys with so much talent can be that awful.

They must enjoy watching Ned work because they're sure hanging him out to dry.

It’s quite a thing when Carter isn’t in the top 10 of players who are pissing me off when he’s in the lineup.

Pens are very fortunate to be 1-1 right now.

But for Nedeljkovic, they could easily be down 6-1 right now.

And if he keeps this up we might not be able to resign him next year as he’s a UFA again.

I can’t see Dubas waiting very long to shake this team up. Either a big trade or a new coaching staff is coming soon. At this point I really think they need two new top 6 forwards who can play a tough north-south game.

An awful period of hockey,from the decision making,lack of awareness,structure or sound play.They were a complete mess out there.
Ned has kept this from being a 4-1 game if not worse.
Karlsson,Letang and Graves with some truly lousy play every shift.
Nylander actually was effective at times late in that period,he created some good opportunities.
Malkin sure doesn't look like a guy who is interested in doing anything tonight.

Bourque calling out Graves during the intermission show. Wants to see Ludvig with Letang.
