I haven't watched the Coyotes in a long rear end time. are they always this awful???

they got mildly better for a bit and then got very bad again, so yes.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Rangers missing Fox and Kakko and Chytil and not playing Nils and against the Panthers...and somehow they've had only their 2nd 5v5 +50% xG game in 2 months. Wild.

Definitely rooting for a full series of that, though. The Panthers play insanely offensive heavy. Makes the Rangers a good matchup against them (as good as they can be with their 5v5 struggles) and it was extremely entertaining.

When they start actually playing a heavy and pressure game they can be pretty good but good knows why they’re constantly trying to forget that
Forecheck, puck pressure, force turnovers and score goals and put shots on net? Why do that when we can send cross over prayers over and over again and never get shots on net

Once again history has shown that the 2008-2013 Vancouver Canucks were actually the good guys and everyone who rooted for them to fail was supporting evil.

Backstrom has missed a ton of games hasn't he? He's a pretty big factor on there.

The Pens PP looked pretty poo poo for most of the season up until recently when Malkin came back.

It’s not even just bad luck. Everything about the power play is awful. Entries suck, there’s no movement, no deception, very few shots on goal. Their whole plan was to just pray that Backstrom being injured was the reason it sucked but whoops it still sucks with him back and now they have no answers.

Kuznetsov is arguably a better player than Backstrom at this point and he hasn’t missed much time. Same with Ovie and Carlson, they’ve each only missed a couple of games. There’s plenty of talent to make them like a top 15 PP at worst, even without Backstrom.

Heads gotta roll.

Yeah, but Ovie has an insurance policy taken out for when Backstrom misses games so it isn’t that.

Kuzy isn't as good on the half-wall. They did seem to be trying to incorporate more movement in the Pens game, but it looked goofy and didn't work.

Blaine Forsythe probably just has blackmail on Leonsis or something. Dude also coaches the centers and they have the worst FO% in the league.

Pens powerplay immediately improved when Sid returned and Jake/Rust were available/healthy to keep Kasperi Kapanen off the first unit. Sid working the whole right hand side as QB with E Rod on the far circle and then Guentzel either in front or low circle/goal line and Rust in the bumper spot/crashing down has very good variety and a number of very good trigger plays. Geno's return has bumped E Rod and adds a 2nd lefty to the powerplay shifting people around a bit, but allowing for some different looks and more 1 timer opportunities along with lefty to left pass for Sid to do that crazy little deflection at the goal line.

Rex surely you're not just dogigng on Kappanen because you don't like him. He stinks OPs. Evan Rodrigues is outperforming Kapanen in every metric on the powerplay by an extremely wide margin. Hell Dominik Simon has nearly the same per 60 points on the powerplay as Kapanen. Please trade him while he still has lots of value and the Pens can get something decent back.

No of course not. It just gets increasingly more embarrassing and sad to hold onto cups your team won when members of the current squad weren’t even born. I say this as a fan of a team that’s 28 years past it’s cup that it still can’t stop talking about.
