notfondajane Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The Pens deserved it. A lack of effort will give you that result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're an old team, and their key players are old as well. I don't like their depth: any roster with 10+ minutes per night for Josh Archibald needs their bottom-six to be improved.

I'm guessing they are trying to get some better pick if possible. If this true I am hoping they make the correct decision on these picks.

I read somewhere earlier today (can't remember where) that the Pens were in talks with the Yotes for Jacob Chychrun. If true, that doesn't sound like the move of a team looking to 'tank'. I still say the Pens are really trying to get one more Cup out of Crosby-Malkin-Letang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they weren't tanking they would be playing a whole lot better than what they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought were joking around this whole time. Teams don't tank to improve their depth; they do it to improve the high end talent in the organization.

If you watch or listen to their games you would see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanking is intentionally losing. This isn't intentional so much as it is they are old, suck and can't hack it like they used to. It's clear half the team tunes out the coach as well because I see 2 separate styles being played lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the return for these 2. I also noticed there is very little communication between the players. I don't know if that is Sullivan fault. I'm starting to understand why the Flyers let Hextall go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hextall didn't do a damn thing to improve our roster, besides say "be patient with our young players", and we've been in patience and rebuild mode ever since. Then, he does things to upset the players like take their snack machines away. He did next to nothing, as far as trades go. I THINK he drafted decently (don't know, at this point), but most of those players haven't progressed much..outside of Carter Hart. I think Hextall's poor history of GMing, seems to repeating itself quickly, in Pittsburgh. Edited February 25, 2023 by FD19372 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks that the second best FA that year was then JVR... But a lot of what he was trying to do was set a floor foundation to build on and, having set that, he got fired and they immediately plunged back into the cap hell that they have been known for... He had his blunders and didn't do anything that makes you go "wow" but when you look at Seattle and St. Louis it might not have been the coaches that were the problem... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to put a fire under their arse (at least in the first period against the Blues.) I think Petry should be traded! The return would probably be small. Hopefully something to help in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
