Rooting for thisImagine if we miss the playoffs and somehow win the draft lottery.
That would be cool.
Yeah I just think decision on Hextall/Burke and Sullivan has already been made regardless of whether we backdoor into the POs or not…imo Hex is gone and Sullivan stays and FSG will put out some amazing press release talking about he’s the best coach in the league lolRooting for this
Winning and getting 8th place just prolongs the awfulness because sully will say we were just so close but ran into a hot team.
Miss the playoffs and it's the only way shit changes.
Getting the next generational talent would probably send the fans into a frenzy everywhere. I don't think we can move up to #1 anyway if we miss the playoffs. I think the #3 spot is the most we could move up, if we're the highest seeded non playoff team.Imagine if we miss the playoffs and somehow win the draft lottery.
That would be cool.
Yeah but 3-1 record over the next four games probably won’t do it…requires either the Isles or Fla lose twice…they haven’t been as bad as .500 over the last couple months, as the Pens haveFlorida playing tonight. We can definitely beat Chicago and Columbus. The Wings not so much.
Tonight should be a good indication if we’re going to make it.

lol, if he sits friedman instead of Ruhwedel for Rutta, that will tell you everything you need to know why this team under this coach has declined in recent years..those kind of decisions erode slowly but surely all the good juices this team had once upon the timeLooks like Rutta is close to returning. Among all the guys Hextall brought in, he's probably the been the best, when he plays. I like what he brings for the most part.
Florida might but yeah that’s hard. So we pretty much need to win out and hope one of them don’t?Yeah but 3-1 record over the next four games probably won’t do it…requires either the Isles or Fla lose twice…they haven’t been as bad as .500 over the last couple months, as the Pens have
You can only move up 10 spots. I'd definitely take it, but it's not like we're getting #1 overall.Imagine if we miss the playoffs and somehow win the draft lottery.
That would be cool.

Yep. One of them need to lose 2 points in their combined 8 games left.Florida might but yeah that’s hard. So we pretty much need to win out and hope one of them don’t?
Lucky for us Vancouver turned it down, not 1 bu 2 1st!!!Imagine if Hextall would have traded the 1st for some player that would not have lifted us into the playoffs anyways. Not that throwing away a 2nd would have been nice.
Better that then missing and picking 15th or 16th. I'll gladly take pick #5 or #6Imagine if we miss the playoffs and somehow win the draft lottery.
That would be cool.
Minnesota's offense has been 6th in the league with Kaprizov out. 26th with him in.On the bright side, we have been incredibly good against teams from the Central this season.
On the other hand, we have been incredibly bad at winning must win games.
So what will it be? Unstoppable force or immovable object?
I'm betting Islanders lose tonight against Tampa.Yeah but 3-1 record over the next four games probably won’t do it…requires either the Isles or Fla lose twice…they haven’t been as bad as .500 over the last couple months, as the Pens have
It is impressive how the FO refusing to commit to one path or the other put us in a uniquely terrible place.We are in the worst place we can be at the moment. Too crappy to make a dent in the playoffs. Too high to get a good chance at change/good lottery pick. Just right there at the bubble with 4 games left.
IF the Pens make the playoffs, I will full-heartedly and blindly root for them to go the distance. Until then, I think the best thing for this team's long-term health is to miss the playoffs. Apparently years of first-round exits aren't enough to make any significant changes and instead earn the coach a sweet multi-year contract. Even a crap-filled year of mediocracy isn't enough to make any significant changes apparently. I hope missing the playoffs is what will help turn this sinking ship around.
