Game 2 on Saturday wasn't one of the better games for Mike Sullivan and Evgeni Malkin.
Take away the four straight losses in December after Head Coach Mike Sullivan took over for Mike Johnston and Saturday afternoon was quite possibly the worst performance by the Penguins during Sullivan's tenure.
A fair amount of the criticism should always be on those who perform and rightly so after Saturday's ghastly execution or lack-there-of by the Penguins, most notably their defensemen.
Yet, Sullivan shouldn't escape his own minus mark for how things turned but before the game it didn't appear that would be the way this one would go.
