When the crux of the troll is "look at how stupid and wrong I am" it kind of falls flat when coming from someone who is very stupid and always wrong.

The pens still have a very good core. Their issue was very much coaching and defensive depth.

I think you don't fire EVERY assistant when you have a top half PP and a top half PK. The main albatross here is named Jack and it's nobody's fault but the guy that signed the deal.

What's the gm going to do, admit he's a moron that signed one of the worst contract in the league, or blame some lackeys and move on?

They should buy JJ out or bury him in the minors, but the Pens have historically been unwilling to do that with bad players. JJ is an anchor though and they'd be better off with dead cap space than having him on the roster. He's that bad.

That said, I don't mind these coaching changes. They haven't looked right the past few playoff series and I'm fine with them shaking up the coaching staff (while keeping Sullivan, who is a very good coach) to see if that changes anything.

I'm not sure the remedy is firing one of the best defensive development coaches for one player in the league, though. The sore thumb's just going to stick out more.

I dunno, I'd kinda like to see how long 3v3 OT can go in the playoffs.

3 on 3 with a bunch of dead players skating through mud would be a thing. I'd love to hear Gord Miller say "Long lead pass and it's a 2-on-0 the other way!"

(15 minutes later) "aaaaand he whistles it wide!"

I wonder if after a game like that, do you hate the other team more or less. At some point you have to start identifying with the other guys dogging it around their end super tired just like you are.

I could see hate coming in if it was a chippy game but it didn't seem to be. Columbus was the 2nd least penalized team in the league this year. Yanni Gorde was being a bit of a dick in game 1 but there wasn't a lot of chippy stuff overall.

Firing every assistant coach at the end of the season is basically just saying “the head coach will be fired sometime next year” and I don’t understand why NHL GMs don’t just do what they want in the first place.

Sullivan just got a contract extension I think last year and JR has been pretty huge in his praise of him.

I mean, no GM will ever publicly criticize their coach. Sunk cost probably plays a large part of it but it’s pretty clear what the message is when you fire all the special teams guys when those things weren’t actually issues.

The Leafs have done this exact thing twice in recent memory and both times they would have been better off just firing the head coach when they wanted to.

Sullivan is a good coach so I don't have a problem with giving him another shot at turning things around.

Nothing says "I'm responding to the fans cries for change but I don't want to do anything meaningful" quite like firing the assistant coaches.

I'm not saying Sullivan needs to go. But publicly signalling that your team underperformed because of coaching and then firing everyone else but the person ultimately responsible is a pretty clear message of what the GM thinks.

Caps got 7 power plays and the isles still out shot them and won, neat

Would be nice to not give them 7 power plays a game going forward though because that would be a pretty hard series to win

Holtby blew it on two goals and the rest of the Caps were rear end except Oshi. When Nick went out everything got hosed up. A lot has been said about Coach Reirden, he couldn’t rally them at all. Ovechkin looked lost.
