Mike Sullivan is the most successful coach the Penguins ever had.

Scotty Bowman is the best coach that ever coached them.

Bob Johnson was their most important coach.

I looked at what went wrong for the New York Yankees. It wasn't Aaron Boone or a lack of fundamentals or anything else like that. They just weren't good enough. And that's on them. www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles...

Yankees need to bring back 'Evil Empire' mentality

It's all about the mindset. Or more specifically, the lack of a mindset that used to make them winners.

I don't understand Bettman's fascination with every team playing on the same day. Like he thinks that's something that's going get people all fired up or bring in new eyes.

Real "we're all trying to find the guy who did this" vibes.

No NHL games tonight. Between 28 teams playing last night and all 32 teams playing Saturday, Friday got squeezed. Not ideal obviously.

I kinda want to call in and just be like, "Hey, yeah, I got a Sixers question..."

"We open up the lines here, let's start with Sal in Delco ... what have you got for us, Sal?"

Sal in Delco: "FUUUUUUUUUUCK."

Brian Daboll seems like a huge asshole. Like, massive asshole.

If the Eagles don't get their shit together this is going to be an all-time clunker of a day for Philadelphia sports.

5-on-5 HD Chances were 14-6 in favor of the Penguins for the game. Had a 60 percent expected goal share for the game. They really took over the third period for the second game in a row.

Credit to Jarry for coming up big at the end after some shaky moments.

Tristan Jarry handles every shot like the puck is a cactus and he's not wearing any equipment.

Adam Gretz @adamgretz.bsky.social · 1d

Fascinating to see this come across the timeline because the first two Penguins games this season are more enjoyable than any game I watched from them all last season.

Kevin @kpower90.bsky.social · 1d

This Rangers team is bad AND boring. That's the worst possible scenario right now.

It will get forgotten because Brazeau did not score, but that was a really slick pass by Kindel to set him up.

If Erik Karlsson keeps playing like this we're going to have accept one of these: Either Mike Sullivan hated Erik Karlsson, or Erik Karlsson hated Mike Sullivan, or both.

Silovs should get the bulk of the playing time just to find out what he is. We know what Jarry is.

Everybody focussed on the Noah Dobson trade but I thought the Zack Bolduc addition was a HUGE underrated trade by Montreal.

Evgeni Malkin looks like he found the fountain of youth this season.
