Official GDT: Pens vs Jackets 3/5/24

[DelPen]

This lineup officially starts the #LoseMoreForTheFloor campaign. Eller on LW is...something. Penguins currently 9th worse, can likely get down to 8th worst.

Getting down to 4th or 5th overall is highly unlikely, but possible.

I don’t see the Sharks, Ducks, Hawks, Sens or Jackets passing us even with how bad we have been. And there’s still the Habs and Yotes to suck worse than. But 8th is certainly plausible, 6th is even possible. If either Sullivan isn’t fired by the draft or none of the players who we are picking is NHL ready for this fall then I let SJ keep the pick because we could be even worse next year with Sullivan back again.

Please note, tripping is not a penalty tonight

New drinking game. Turn the Pens on. Drink Heavily until you pass out and then miss them lose again.

Drink every time Letang is not ready to shoot the puck

Now this made me laugh. A lot.

[pronovost19]

One of the biggest problems with the support players is that they defer way too often to the old guys.

How the heck did Eller get LW on the top line?

Trade deadline showcase ! Maybe….

As good a theory as any!

[DelPen]

I’d ask how we aren’t beating garbage team when we need a win but I saw last year what happened when a Sullivan coached team has to win against garbage teams.

[IntangibleBeer]

Keep shooting from downtown, boys! Cause that’s worked all season.

It's a POOL PARTY!!!

Bench him

He's making Harkins look bad

[Zalapski33]

Way to get his first Pens goal for Puljujarvi,good check on Jenner set that up.

[KG]

Good job Puljujari. Sullivan just leave the guy in the lineup and let him build.

[FLPensFan]

Bench him

He scored, so it's coming.

[BurghThing]

Good thing Sully refused to play him recently. Wouldn't want any goal scoring.

[IntangibleBeer]

Send him to WBS!

[DelPen]

Remember Puljujärvi is only going to be 26 in May. Shrewd move to get two years for under $1 million. Going to need him to get back to his potential and fill some space next year.

Just need POJ and Koppanen to score so Harkins is one of the few left without a goal along with Ned.

I just checked, it’s just those 4 on the roster now.
