My colleague, Other Rick, is fond of saying if he ever wins the Powerball Jackpot, the first thing he’d do after buying the Penguins is fire Mike Sullivan.
After watching Friday night’s 4-1 loss to Winnipeg on home ice, I second that sentiment.
It’s not that our boys played horribly. Actually, for who we currently are as a team, I thought the effort was there and that we acquitted ourselves at least reasonably well against the league’s best team. That includes frequent scapegoat Tristan Jarry.
Rather, it was an incident that occurred at the outset of the third period that set my blood a boilin’ and triggered the anti-Sullivan rant to follow.
