Yeah our broadcasting team is the same as every other in the league in terms of carrying the water for the org. Do people not remember how over the top, sometimes unprofessionally biased Steigy and Errey were?I didn't mind Mears and Errey and I don't mind Getzoff and Rupp/Borqy/Army/etc. When this comes up and people recommend other PBP/CC teams, I listen in to their games and I'm never swayed and swooned by them. I think the only time I've legitimately liked anyone over who we have/had is Doc.
Getzoff def still better than Mears though.I hate this broadcasting team so much. The fakest, most lifeless, cringe, sorry ass, rag-tag group of hockey dudes. Pretty good microcosm of the FSG era Pens if you think about it.
And his reasoning was because the Pens had a two-on-one the other way.When Rupp was questioning the validity of that trip from Jospeh I felt like my intelligence was being personally attacked.
He was also trying to justify the challengeAnd his reasoning was because the Pens had a two-on-one the other way.
So if Provorov trips Rakell sending CBJ on a two-on-one, you’d be cool with that, too?
Rupp is a f***ing doorknob.
This is why I keep pushing back whenever someone says Sullivan is a "great coach whose voice just lost the room". I don't think he is a great coach. I think he's a dime a dozen coach who happened to have a 2 year stretch where everything fell right. Every single other season of his coaching career has been underperformance by his team.Also there is nothing really surprising about Sullivan— he was a hack as a player, he was a hack in his previous coaching career, he has been a hack for most of his tenure here. He got lucky and had a good team of assistants around him who likely suggested far more of the systematic ideas than was originally thought, plus the last elite years of Sid, Geno, and Kessel.
He loves Carter because he is a vet. He loves Harkins because he sees a younger version of himself.
lol..no surprise

Compare that to, say, a Jon Cooper. Even if you take away his 2 Cups, his coaching resume looks vastly superior to Sullivan's. Another Cup appearance plus a couple of ECF appearances. Outside of our 2 Cups Sullivan has basically been either out in the 1st round or didn't make it.
I want a developmental coach. No more career 90s 4th -liners who no longer understand the way the game is played. That dude who runs the program at Quinnipac would be a logical choice for me.If you fire Sullivan, you have to find another Sullivan.
Likely a big FU to the coach who never even gave him a chance at a hatty with his parents in the stands the other night. Don’t blame him tbh.Malkin, with the most
lackadaisical shoot out effort of all time...
Agreed. It's funny how some of the Penguins twitter guys have turned on Sullivan, but still say shit like this..
@Andy99 I really didn't think we'd be worse than last year's 31st rank. Impressive, Mike. Impressive.What's worse is that we are last...by a ways.
