Biting my tongue so hard right now.
Every time that Penguins tweet notification hits
Kyle Dubas being asked about hiring a GM
NHL doesn’t need to add more teams to the postseason and it most definitely doesn’t need to go to a 3-2-1 points system. I’d go back to the 1v8 seeding for the postseason and ditch the regular-season points system for straight-up win-loss standings.
Jeff Carter scores a power-play goal (442nd career goal) to tie things up in what figures to be his final NHL game.
Valtteri Puustinen is to the Islanders what Brock Nelson is to the Penguins
Crosby and Malkin sealing the back post with their skates will always be one of my favorite things to see them execute.
Mike Sullivan has been head coach of the Penguins for 9 seasons. There have been only 23 coaches in NHL history to spend 10+ seasons with a single team. Sullivan has missed the playoffs two seasons in a row and hasn’t won a series since 2018. It’s time.
What Penguins fans think Mike Sullivan does during power-play discussions
Across his age 35 and 36 seasons, Sidney Crosby produced 5v5 points at the 9th-highest rate among all NHL skaters (2.72 per hour). The Penguins missed the playoffs in both seasons.
Will be another interesting offseason for the Penguins. Are they going to try and be competitive again next season? I don’t see how you can bring back the coaching staff if so. Power play woes a worthy reason on its own. Poor team defense and structure are two more.
Penguins have missed the postseason for the second season in a row.

The power of social media
I do enjoy me some Ruff hockey, though. He's a flawed coach, but I like the way he doubles down on player instinct. Buffalo will be the diet coke version of last year's New Jersey team -- a compliment!
@ntrider825 they're calling it corsi and it's lots and lots of shots but they're not very good and we are not expecting goals anymore. they're expected goals but we aren't expecting them
@DannyShireyPGH Oh, how I understand you Danny. I too am waiting patiently for the Ville Koivunen has been assigned to WBS tweet 😉
@DannyShireyPGH I actually applaud his answer on this. He could easily see the writing on the wall here, that this isn't going to be an easy road, throw someone in there and deflect blame. But he does the exact opposite. I respect that
@DannyShireyPGH I think that they should do away with the loser point. You either win or you lose. If you lose in overtime or shoot out, you don’t deserve a point.
@DannyShireyPGH As long as some games aren't worth three points and others only two
@DannyShireyPGH We are in the same boat but this is funny bud
I hope everyone can spare a thought for @DannyShireyPGH tonight. With Jeff Carter retiring, he can finally go back to sleep.
A hype video for a facemask color change? That's probably a first.
A new era of Browns football returns.
@DannyShireyPGH All coaches have a time. Even good/great ones. And it isn't necessarily a "shelf life" thing. Rosters change, players change, personalities change. Change at this type of leadership position can often times be good and not an indictment on one's ability.
@DannyShireyPGH Yeah no that’s exactly what I figured. Anybody who assumed the head coach, the guy who has the final say on all decisions, supposedly saw that disaster and let it happen is delusional
Detroit is solely alive because of an officiating mistake, that's obscene
@DannyShireyPGH @SynonymForWet First Samsonov giveth, then Samsonov taketh. Isnt' that right, @TopherDaisy ?
@DannyShireyPGH @SynonymForWet Live look at me this morning wondering what happened.
