The Pittsburgh Penguins release a practice schedule at the beginning of the month for the media that lays out the various practice times, locations, game days as a road map for what is ahead. Due to the collective bargaining agreement there are also so many days built in for players to be off, where they get a break. Perhaps luckily for the players, one such off day was scheduled for today on Sunday.
Coach Mike Sullivan was not a happy camper after another sloppy, poor, uninspired, just plain bad, pick-a-negative-adjective-of-your-choosing performance.
“I think we’re a team right now that just wants to score instead of playing the game the right way,” Sullivan said after the 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
