Wonder if JJ would wanna coach the Pens??
With the exception of Sid, I can't stand this fn lineup.
The Pens need to get away from Sullivan already. They also need some physical lines at the bottom. They try to finesse all around
This loss really bit after all the great memories from the old days being stirred up. This rivals a Steelers playoff loss in my gut but I should be absolutely used to it by now with this **** team.

Just wow. I had this feeling when it stayed 1-0 clear into the third some bad **** would happen.
This team has zero magic left in it. Nothing.

The Pens are a simple fix but….they lack the on ice personnel for it. Anytime the Pens get a lead. They play a defensive game. Which is fine if you have faster players.

The thing is these guys are slow and sloppy passing with pucks they are easy to pin back. It worked when the team was younger/faster but it’s not working now. I think the team could switch to a more aggressive offensive mindset when they hold a lead but the bottom lines are just not built for it
Great to watch Jay telestrating a couple Jagr goals just now. Brought me out of my slump. Reminder that tonight was about the retirement of a legend..

Wait, you mean the next great Penguin isn't Matthew (Don't Call Me Matt) Phillips? Or Jansen Harkins? Or Jesse Puljujarvi? Or Colin White? Or the next worthless asswipe nobody else wanted who they'll pick off the scrap heap and play for a number of games until they ultimately realize...man, this guy really sucks?
When you've got Lars Eller on your second- or sometimes first-team(!) power play, and he's giving the puck away at the opponents' blue line, and it leads to a building-deflating shorthanded goal against to ruin a Pittsburgh legend's big night, you know you're in trouble. I swear to God, I would have rather seen Jagr out there on the PP instead of most of these guys. They have zero depth, and watching their big off-season acquistions like Karlsson, Graves, Smith, and Eller struggle on a nightly basis is torture.
I've always been a huge Malkin fan, but it's time. Crosby, Letang, and maybe Pettersson are the only guys left worth a shlt. Blow this team up and give Sid one more chance with a fresh group of hungry young players for his last couple of years. Start with Guentzel, as he seems to be a highly coveted trade commodity. There's no point in keeping this current team intact -- they are simply not good enough.
Yep keep Sid and start over.
Nice tribute to Jagr but a shame they couldn't finish it with a win. To give up a short handed goal too. Pathetic.
The Power play started good but after they whiffed on the rest I knew they would lose.
This team right now is predictably mediocre.

Then you have Tanger and Sid basically doing nothing but watching Pelech score in OT.
Sid waiting for Letang to do something since well you know, he is a damn defenseman, and he does nothing.
I am done watching games from start to finish with these guys. ITS DVR and FF through to the scoring plays. They aren't going anywhere anyways.

And they lose in OT after tying it up.
Well if not for Geno and Karlsson's boneheaded plays they might have won.
I don't care how many assists Karlsson has, he has not been a difference maker like he was touted to be.

They just don't have an identity. It's crazy. The trades they made will change nothing. As bottom of the Metro, we will get decent drafting, and no playoffs. Let's see where we go this off season.

I am in a hotel in Bel Air, Maryland and the game is actually on here. Thinking about not watching because the Pens always play like crap when I watch and I don’t want to jinx them. They need every point they can get.

This is the last hope. We had better go on a real strong run if we have any hopes of anything. We can't win this game, and the next few, we have nothing.
Two years in a row of no playoffs, and this team gets blown up. My guess is that what the new GM was brought in for.
Someone needs to put Ol' Eller out of our misery.
You won't jinx em. They manage to do that on their own, no problem. Just a matter of how much you can tolerate.
