Penguins coach Mike Sullivan angry with team effort in shoot out loss to Islanders

[howard-iq]

The play was offsides. The NHL got it wrong. The player leaving the ice had his foot on the ice when the puck entered so he was offsides, but they ruled that the foot came off the ice before the second Penguin crossed the blue line making the play onside. However two issues with this. The current rule is that the foot doesn't have to be touching the blue line anymore it has to be in the plane of the blue line. When the penguin lifted his leg off the ice the rule still applies it would have to be in the plane of the blue line. This would technically be the same as having the player jump in the air in the offensive zone and as long as the second player made it over the blue line while the first player was still in the air it would be on side then the player would land back on the ice but the play was deemed onside. The way to test this would be the following: since there is no rule for getting onto the bench the Islanders instead of regaining the blue line they should jump onto the wall of the bench like they are climbing off the ice into the bench but as soon as the player goes over the blue line then jump back into the the offensive zone it would be the same thing.

The Pens are good at 2 things: blowing leads, and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Maybe that isn't Sully in the interview or even coaching.
I believe that Fred MacMurray is coaching the Pens and acting like Sully.

[blutomindpretzel]

blowing leads is the only consistent thing the team knows how to do

[mogwile]

please please please. this is unacceptable

That core is just plain old and isn't what it was. Sell it off.

“We need to play better”-no shit Sully. All talk.

Look, I don't give a shit about how good a coach Sully is, he's proved everything that he needed to here in Pittsburgh, but enough is enough. The team and the coach don't match right now, and as long as he's not playing against the Pens, I'll be happy and not surprised at all when he succeeds in another market, but this hasn't been working for years.

Sully looks like Fred McMurry of My 3 sons

Ok Mike, we get it you’re pissed, now what are you going to do about it?

[nunyabidnis]

Yawn, didn't play the right way, need to limit mistakes, need to play 60 minutes, need win Puck battles. Yawn.
