So not only did Mitch Marner not shoot into an open net on this play but it looks like he did actually hurt himself falling over too, not skating this morning

Leafs are in Benoit’s hometown, Benoit has been playing well, both Liljegren and Brodie have been horrible for two weeks, Keefe has been preaching “increased accountability” which so far has meant benching Nylander once and otherwise playing everyone else no matter what they do. I cannot wait for this meathead to not be the coach of this team anymore.

The Sabres scored with 2.0 seconds left in OT to beat the Oilers…

But literally minutes later, Toronto told them that the play was offside 20 seconds earlier and that everyone had to get back onto the ice and play the rest of OT. The Sabres still won in a shootout but that is absolutely insane. What a crock of poo poo. loving league is insane.

I agree. Punt this season, play it out, wind up with a top 10 pick that can either be used to trade for an Ullmark or a Saros, or just have another potentially really good prospect.

The Pens are old and bad but it's still insane to me that Dubas would rather trade Guentzel than try firing Mike Sullivan.

Like how do you not fire Sully a couple months ago and see if you get a new coach bounce? If it doesn't happen and you still suck, at least you tried something. And then you still trade Jake in that scenario. But to make that move without even trying to replace the coaching staff...ludicrous.

And now they're gonna double down on Sullivan this summer and give him another new set of players and they'll probably still be dogshit next year.

I think it's pretty good odds he gets shitcanned in the offseason if they miss again
when you start the season with your GM trading for the reigning Norris winner and you end up selling the deadline, that tends to mean your goose is cooked

I hope so but I'm not convinced it's coming because Dubas has been firmly behind Sullivan all season long.

Maybe if the Pens tank badly enough even Dubas can't ignore it though.

Dubas has a prior record of holding onto his coach for too long, so I don’t see why he should get the benefit of the doubt. Also the whole reason he came to the Pens was the promise of more authority/autonomy so it’s hard to believe that the org poached him with that promise and then immediately handcuffed him.

FSG also just recently bought the team and is spending full blast

It's not exactly great for their ROI to be a lovely team with a half empty stadium and losing out on the bonus playoff revenue.

They absolutely know they need to maximize their last Crosby years if they don't want to take a bath on the purchase

Not firing any of the coaching staff says FSG said no to me as well. Maybe this time a new pile of assistants will work!

I kinda doubt Dubas came to Pittsburgh without having a full mandate to do what he wants to.

I feel like it's more likely that Dubas actually likes Sullivan and doesn't want to fire him. Alternatively that he's waiting for Sullivan to perform badly enough to warrant being replaced in the off season.

I'm not sure what set him off but, given Ersson is at the bench and Bally's graphic is talking about a PPG, I'm going to guess it was a bad call by Wes "Penalty Announcements With Personality" McCauley and attribute it to NHL officiating and side with Torts.

Freddy Modin, Brad Richards, and Dave Andreychuk watching the whole thing and enjoying it is icing on the cake.

If the Pens keep their pick this year they stand a big risk of handing San Jose a top-3 pick next year. Even if it lands like 6th they should let it convey.

They're not gonna do that though, because a top-10 pick will have a lot of trade value and so they're going to want to have it in their pocket.

As far as I know Wes McCauley isnt on record promoting homophobia and bullying like Torts, and given Torts record of being wrong about calls as often as Tim Peel Im going to just assume he was being his usual giant manbaby self because his team was getting whomped.
