Let's go Phil….we need you man!!
Morning, everyone! As I lay out in this episode, the next Daily Shots won't come until Monday! Happy Thanksgiving! – DK
I wonder if he will play with Jesse Puljujärvi?
Because this is what they need. Forget D-men, just totally commit and run 5 Forwards. Good grief.
Sully is the problem, he sits people instead of coaching them young players,sully just benches them..
I've been a fan since the early 70's I've seen it before they will get better Go Pens 😀
I say go full tank. Get this Shaeffer kid from Erie in the draft.
DK, if the environment Dubas is trying to create is about giving struggling prospects a chance, isnt the opposite also true? You can embrace your “golden opportunity” kid but the kid also knows, you can also be shipped out just as quickly. A guy like Tomassino is just as mentally fragile from his experience in Nashville as the rest of the penguins. He might be excited for his chance but put him in a room of guys who are as demoralized and unable to sustain any kind of momentum themselves, how likely is this kid to turn his career around – especially given Sullivan's impatience with kids. if this is the strategy, don't you need a coach who is a truly interested in developing young players? Has Sullivan really shown he can nurture and develop these kinds of players?
Better than standing pat, hoping things will just get better.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Great Show DK, Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your Family!! Yell at U Later 😂
The fact that Rackell figured that out on his own instead of the coaches tells me everything i need to hear. Put him in charge instead of "Team Try Harder".
This team is screwed until they get rid of Sullivan. If nothing else someone to reform the lines will help this team
I don’t necessarily think Sullivan is THE problem or that he should be fired, but DK you give another reason to do so nearly every episode. He does bury players in favor of retreads
Barry Trots. Gross
Have a great holiday Dk!
I don't know how it can be a tryout when Sully won't give these guys more than 10 minutes, and on their 1st mistake, shorten their min.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Dk and everyone else.
Dk – i hope you and your family have an amazing holiday and time together. Thank you for always talking us pens fans off the ledge (well..maybe not so much this year)… but still..Great to feel we aren't alone in this world.
Those of us who told people that the Karlsson trade was terrible took a lot of heat. The plate of crow is here, and we are the only ones who don't have to eat.
For a long time now, the problem with this team has been defense. Mostly the D men being lousy at playing D, but also forwards being lousy at playing D. That and only being able to play one way (which isnt working). When you have Jarry in the league for years and are still trying to figure out if he is good, that sends a very strong message. The Pens dont have a forwards problem..or a goalie problem. They have a massive problem with the D-men. So what do the Pens do? bring in more forwards
When all your defense falls apart, time to look at the coach.
DOC is not a first line winger. He’s just not.
Happy Thanksgiving, Penguins Family! Here's to better days to come.🍷☺
Systems don't hide skill, unless you're the 2015 Mike Johnston Pittsburgh Penguins which clearly hid everyone's skill.
I'd venture to bet the house this system is also hiding a tremendous amount of skill.
Example – Erik Karlsson. Sullivan system killed.
Your right DK it is a tryout. Why does dubas continue to get bums. This is why this team is horrible. Just like hextall. Not much difference.
All pens fans and DK have a great thanksgiving
Time to try out a new GM and ownership.
