I legit think Sullivan is probably done in Pitt after this first round exit. It is exceedingly obvious Malkin has completely tuned him out and Mike's continued insistence to somehow make the team worse with his line combinations (especially of late) will definitely contribute to his undoing.

It's kinda wild to think that it's taken Stamkos 14 seasons to finally get a 100 point season

It’s also wild that he decided to get a casual 21 points in his last 7 games to hit 100.

I'm much more inclined to believe Geno is the one who's about to leave Pittsburgh.

Sullivan'll leave soon after they tear it all down of course, but I'm gonna hang onto my tiny thread of hope that it won't be this summer. By his own accord, that is. I don't think the team is dumb enough to fire the best coach they've had since Scotty Bowman.

e: and didn't he just sign an extension last year

It does feel like... something is off with Malkin
I do wonder if he's considering retirement or hitting the bricks with his body broken as it is

To be fair, it's more a case of how fast Vegas went from expansion darlings to just a lovely organization.

I don’t know how much blame is placed on the player and his work ethics, the Caps goalie coach that’s failing to develop him, or the GM that took him in the first round to begin with, but I’m ready to move on. I haven’t seen any development from him this season, or really ever since he was brought up to the NHL. I defended him at the start of the season but that was clearly the wrong hill to die on. He’s a good backup for an average team or maybe a bubble playoff team, but not a cup contender.

I guess we’ll ride or die with Vitek for the round one exit, hopefully we can steal a win or two before it’s over. Let’s keep Vitek next year and see which veterans are out there in free agency. But all our cap space is tied up with our aging core, so it’s not looking good to sign any of the top tier ones. But Sammy needs to go. (He’ll probably drop his goalie stick on the way out the door.)

Vanecek/Fucale seems more likely if they fired sammy into the sun and would still probably be a gong show.

Yeah. The aging core could contend for a cup this year and maybe next year with an above average starting goalie. But that window is about to close for good till the inevitable rebuild comes. Maybe sooner rather than later cause Backstrom looks done and needs to retire.

The inevitable happened. Now please actually make some big changes in the summer I don't want to see this same stale rear end group on the ice in October. This year was fun but boy did a 7 game win streak under Boudreau right at the start of his tenure disguise some hideous warts that were present before and after he was hired. Sadly thanks to [former GM's name redacted] it's all but impossible to move anybody on the roster and the team has no cap space. Hurrah!

Who was that one Vegas fan who was constantly and seemingly unironically doom posting even as the team was making the playoffs and had no obvious drop off in sight during the first year or two of the team playing? I blame them for part of it around here at least.
