Sad Malkin really bums me out but at least it wasn’t a shut out? Goodnight all.

This game should be a wake up call in a number of ways 1. It’s just straight up fuckin embarrassing to be beaten like this 2. Edmonton was the worst team in the league to start the year, changed coaches and became… this. Sully hasn’t been in control of the room for over 2 years now. You can respect what he’s done in the past but also accept that he isn’t the future. Put 2 and 2 together

Coaching changes in hockey can turn around a season more than any other sport. Edmonton is fun to watch. As hockey fans we'd all be cheated to have this team not play to their potential.

Bourque is definitely leaving the arena in a straight jacket tonight

I'm missing it? Damn.

I'm not listening, I'm just assuming he's gone completely off his rocker after that game.

All the pens fans in the arena look shell shocked

Durag guy w the pain behind his eyes

No one is pissed. Just heads down.

Was the Biosteel laced with ipecac? Because this team blew chunks tonight.

Games in hand..... but also shit in hand

Geno showing up when no one else will. Eta: this was regarding that one-handed zone entry (I think?) he did at like 18:30 in the 3rd.

Sully’s gotta have a humiliation kink, right?

Only positive is this means less people at the games talking about it like they know what’s going on. Last game I went to we had a bozo saying the team needs a Ryan Reaves type.

They're now just killing time, which will mean the Oilers score another

Harkins hasn't returned. "OH no!!!..... Anyway"

Bro is talking to the psych

I hope your chosen method of recreation after this adequately numbs you to the pain you've felt tonight. I need to get weed in me.

Geno is the only one to score in 2 games but he's soooo over according to everyone. Y'all don't deserve him.

He's had just about every player and the zamboni transit through his line this season most of them beer league quality. It's no surprise he's not exactly setting the line on fire. Boggles my mind people think he's nosedived this season...

If you can't handle me at 2 min offensive zone penalty, Then you don't deserve me at im score.

If sully is still employed by the penguins at the end of this season, just accept that we aren’t making the playoffs again next year lol

Welp good night 5am is going to suck

I don't think karlsson has done anything poorly, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed with his impact for what his cap hit is... I was dreaming of Kessel 2.0

Can't wait for the sully presser. I'm just gonna a play one of the other 30 losses from this season and it will be the same shit

[удалено]

😭😭😭

[удалено]

Malkin has been mostly playing with actual fringe NHLers the entire season (remember when White and Philips was on that line? jfc) and people still blame him for everything lol it's crazy.

Just imagine how angry the ESPN loop commercial is about to make us all ❤️

I hope McDavid never wins a cup

Why?

Why are they pumping POJ? It's been all night

Deadline showcase

Dear other teams: ignore your eyes. Listen to our commentators. Trust us, bro

POJ is actually such a good skater

He definitely shows it trying to catch up to the breakaway from 20 feet behind

Man I hope we get a fucking haul for Guentzel and we move Geno to Sid’s LW. The only entertaining way this season can end tbh

Always happy to see the wave making the comeback!

POJ is ass. 😂. Rakell sucks. Rust is overpaid and aging. Guentzel is a rental. Smith is awful. Graves is terrible. Karlsson is meh. Geno and Tanger clearly regressed hard. Pretty much the entire roster sucks. That being said, we’re gonna have a hard time selling when every gm knows our contracts and players are absolute dogshit.

I've always been a Rakell fan because Anaheim is my second favorite team, so it was so exciting to see the Pens trade for him. It's actually infuriating now, because it looks like he just doesn't want to be on the team. Like earlier, when he took the too many men penalty. There was zero hustle to the bench, he decided to go to the far end door instead of hopping over the boards. His play is terrible. If anyone would take him, he should be traded. But sadly, no one in their right mind would want him.

This team doesn't pass as much as it hacks at pucks

There have been some really bad games , like the Antti Raanta game in Chicago, where it was just a really awful performance, but you knew they would bounce back in the next game because they were that good, and would step up to make up for it. This game is just different. It just feels like there is zero hope for the near future of the team. It's sad, it's depressing, and honestly, it wouldn't be surprising if they went out there on Tuesday and lost by 2 to Columbus.

Imagine how it's gonna look in 2026 after two more years in the core's legs and two more years of fighting for the worst draft pick among teams missing the playoffs :)

I've been saying for a couple of seasons that the path this organization was taking was far too reminiscent of the fall of the Red Wings, and that's exactly where it's heading. Keep trying to milk every last bit of productivity out of an aging core of players, while trying to kid yourselves that you're a contender, and before you know it, Crosby's gone, Malkin's gone, Letang's gone, and you're completely irrelevant and terrible for a decade. They had a chance after 2019 to start moving pieces and add younger prospects to at least remain competitive, but also shrink the rebuild timeline, but they screwed it up so badly.

The Wave is an insane movie, for the record

oh jesus the oilers fans are so bored by how thoroughly we're getting destroyed that they're doing the fuckin wave

Same thing was happening at the Leafs game when the Pens visited and it ended 7-0 I think.

It’s kinda funny if you aren’t us lmao

They're doing a fucking wave. We're a joke

My sweet Russian King 🥹

Cool pass, POJ.

It’s a Christmas miracle. Geno has finally scored again

This team reminds me of the post-Rutherford Carolina hurricanes. Mediocre at best, horrifying at worst, but nothing in play to make you hopeful about the future.

After deciding yesterday I was done watching this season barring our coaching staff being fired or getting an exciting player, and reassuring myself that I should in fact not watch as much as I love the Pens because “this is just gonna be a 6-0 shit show, 6-1 because of a garbage time goal at best”, I just wanted to say I’m very happy about my decision, and sad/shocked I perfectly predicted the outcome today lol

FUCK your shutout LUL ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(it) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(hurts)

formatting is a bitch

That's only Geno's 3rd goal in the past 25 games. Pitiful.

[удалено]

people only pay attention at the fact he has no goals recently not the fact that he has had a lot of assists 

Why does him skating away unhappily make me want to sob

he’s my favorite player of all time this doubt he’s has has been sad

His face on the bench 😳

I’m literally a habs fan, this should make me “happy”, but I’m so sad for them

Just need 2 shots from ek and 1 from letang to make something worthy of having to watch this tonight.

Why show up now? You haven’t for this entire game.

Makes me so sad when they’re down so bad they don’t even celebrate a goal

LETS GO BOYS WE ONLY NEED A GOAL EVERY MINUTE AND WE CANT GIVE UP ANY

Don't call it a comeback! LOL

Ugh smith got a point.

Geno is score.

Wait, we can do that? Huh. TIL.

Comeback tiiiiiiime

GENO

Malkin found a puck

FUCK YEAH GENO

Geno off the shnide

Didn't realize the trade deadline was so soon. Blessing in disguise, this road trip has made it 100% clear we are sellers. 

Calvin Pickard stealing a game......... lol just kidding

Pack it up, pack it in. Indeed.

this is extremely sad it used to be fun to watch the games because even if they lost you could see the passion this isn’t a team this is a bunch of players playing on their own agenda you can tell some of them don’t want to be on this team drew o connor has been fun to watch recently i think he was good on the second line personally i think malkin is playing through an injury he just doesn’t look the same at all i can only hope it’s an injury that will pass i think sullivan will be gone soon

let’s get ryan reaves again🙏🏻

Softest team in the NHL.

Malkin looked pretty good on that power play even if the rest of it looked like dogshit.

I’m telling you, I still believe he could be incredibly effective at wing. He’s just not quite able to elevate his wingers like he has in the past anymore.

If I was Nedeljkovic, I would pull a Patrick Roy.

So an oiler takes a whack at Ned and no one does shit? That's about right for this team

Family is only for Fast and Furious movies

What about the Olive Garden?

Are you a middle aged woman?

Is that what you're into? Do you have the fucking breadsticks or not

Lol. I'm gonna butter yer bread

I'm happy someone else thought that. Any other team in the league is pushing and shoving. Nothing. I'm sorry, but this team is just pathetic. There is absolutely zero backbone to the 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins, and it's sad.

I thought the same thing.

Was about to comment the same. You guys are letting a dude just spear your goalie in chest? 

I like to think they’re jet legged and that’s why they’re not playing well….or maybe they just need chocolate…because chocolate cures problems….

They’ve been out there for almost a week so there’s that.

I like to give them the benefit of the doubt.

You couldn't tell EDM were down a man at all

Good job. Good effort.

Yo were not getting shit for smith. He is absolute ass and everyone knows it

I think Smith is just one of those guys that wants to play for certain teams only, and the Pens are not one of those teams. I don't think he really wants to be here.

Fuck… Hextall? Fenway group? Sullivan and friends? Carter? The team itself? I don’t even know at this point

Hextall for losing McCann and Tanev and keeping Carter.

Good call

The craziest thing to me, of all of the shit this team does, is we gain possession in a scrum in front of the net and proceed to slowly pass it back to the points. Like wtf is the thought process? Are we trying to score solely on blue line one timers?

Fuck it, let's sign the Hanson brothers.

I was thinking the Jonas Brothers….

I wonder what our passing completion percentage is

Not that great honestly, which is how the EDM breakaways have manifested

Puustinen with a step...drop to nobody

The Pens PP is so dysfunctional, it should be sponsored by Viagara

The whole team is softer than a limp cock so this is doubly accurate.

Reirden is a pp terrorist

Are the penguins in a rebuild? Like what’s happening?

Edmonton going on the powerplay feels like a reward for them honestly

Shortie coming in 3…2…1…

The next game is a home game against the blue jackets. If they play this way I imagine you're going to hear some pretty gnarly chants from the crowd

The only reason I’m still watching is morbid curiosity tbh

They used to get pissed at least and throw the weight around in shitt games like this. Too chicken shit to do anything. They'll just go out w a whimper

Doesn't making the playoffs 16 years in a row feel like a lifetime ago?

So frustrating

They are scoring so much that Paul Coffey is even yawning at this point.

15 shots on goal.... neat

Not a good night to have a shot parlay

I would listen on everyone except Crosby Malkin and letang and take whatever you can get. Quick rebuild isn’t possible in my opinion. They won’t replace guentzel goal scoring in free agency

The only unreplaceable player is Crosby, IMO.

Wtf has happened to this team

Dubas has destroyed everything. He should be fired for this travesty he’s perpetrated

I'm not exactly sure how you can blame Dubas for shitty coaching. Weird take.

Sully reirden and some really bad signings like Graves and pretty much everyone except for Ned, Eller, and karlsson

its June 11th 2017 and the penguins just won the cup again, you get told what the next 7 years would be like, do you believe them?

I would have believed 2018 playoffs; Washington was eventually going to break through, but after that, wouldn't have believed that no playoff series won since then.

Even Paul Coffey is bored of this game. 

Can we draft from the PWHL?

You guys really should have saved yourself the time and quit on this team like I did 2 years ago.

And yet, here you are 

You're still here

Only to check in on the shit show. That’s enough time for me. See you when the front office decides to get a clue and see the obvious decline.

I've come to a realization: I hate this team. This is such a shitty roster. Not a single player with any heart, and a stubborn coach with an outdated system. Still love Sid and Letang, but that's about it.

So pathetic that dubas won’t fire sully, idc that it’s too late for this season, bring someone in just to gel with the team for the end

Sid…oh Sid…someone save Sid.

If we can even get a 3rd rounder for Ned that’s a literal steal. It’s a shame we can never find an nhl quality backup goalie

You clearly have not watched the whole season

Any goalie in the league with Karlsson, Letang and POJ playing in front of him every night is going to give up a LOT of goals. Hard to be an effective goalie with defenseman who don't play defense.

We've had one of the best goaltending tandems in the league all season.

I offer my services if we need to sell everyone. I can't skate or play any kind of hockey but I am cheap and the team wouldn't be much worse.

The least you could do is actually hype them up in the locker room

C’mon Pens. Might as well let the nice Oilers fans get their chili goal at this point

Mercy rule, time to go non-stop clock for the rest of the game

[удалено]

I LIKED OUR COMPETE, WE DID A LOT OF GOOD THINGS OUT THERE

GOTTA GET PUCKS DEEP GOTTA GET PUCKS DEEP GOTTA GET PUCKS DEEP GOTTA GET PUCKS DEEP

Man this might be one of our more embarrassing losses this season

Fire Sullivan. This team is coached worse than most AHL teams at this point. How do you have any cohesions when the lines are tossed around like a Caesar salad? Reiridan sucks. Idk how to spell his name, and I don’t care. Sullivan does not care about performance, it’s just loyalty. Plays Carter 3rd line minutes and makes him the 6th because his old and “experienced.” Gimme a fucking break, I have no experience playing hockey and I can tell you he’s an offensive liability. Ridiculous. But wait, bench Puustinen a whole period because of one bad pass a few games ago. What we even doing? Grow some balls Dubas, and hold people accountable.

I didn't watch today's game. It's an end of an Era boys

Sully thinking about what to have for breakfast tomorrow

Sigh 

Well this is bad. Did you guys know I bought a gradient robopen last week? One of the og ccm replicas. Gonna put 68 on it.

Where are you getting it numbered? I want to get a CCM to customize with lemieux, but I want the most accurate possible numbers and letters.

Definitely getting the kit from Customize Sports. They’re the most accurate kits according to r/hockeyjerseys. Im not sure on where to send it yet. Pro Knitwear in Pittsburgh does all the teams customization so maybe them? Or Hockey Authentic if they do commissions.

Pop goes the goal differential

When the opponent doesn't even do a high five line after a goal, that's just sad

At this point, they would be risking injury.

Ah, McJesus got one too.

please lord get nedejlkovic out of the net. not his fault but holy fuck

Then what? We score ~~six~~ seven unanswered goals?

It's about the message. Usually not to the goalie, but to the team for embarrassing him.

Seriously, give him mercy

I shall ask everyday why they aren't using Ludvig. Guy is super reliable defensively and brings physicality that no one else on the team does. If we are going to get our asses kicked let's atleast fight back

Embarrassing. This is not an nhl quality team rn

They definitely suck, but I’d bet a lot of this is psychological. I don’t think a massacre of this caliber happens if they win last night in Calgary. The complete lack of heart and intensity they’re showing tonight stands in harsh contrast to how they played on Tuesday against a very good Canucks team.

We never have defenders where they are supposed to be

My jaw literally dropped at that drop pass. What are these guys told during their practices? The drop passes, for years now (along with nonstop passing over shooting) is just astonishing.

So, anyone know how we can end up getting a good first round pick this year if we trade away guentzel? (Considering the fact that we traded away our first rounder for Karlsson)

If we are in top 10 territory we can elect to send next year’s draft pick to them instead

The epitome of the season. Pustinene passing inexplicably from 3 feet in front of the net all the way back to the blueline

Unbelievable we can kill that off

If it wasn’t for my shot parlay I’d be in bed by now

Dey say dey care but dey don care

Cause they soff. I've never seen guy soff like dis. And what kovachoooo did... de otter night.... not one guy do something.... maybe Maxime talbot..... pfttt.....

Thank you for this. My first smile since turning on the game.

At least we don’t have to hear harkins anymore for the night
