Last night’s game was hard to watch. The Penguins’ usual problems were on full display: turnovers galore, no structure, a lack of offensive pressure, puck-watching, blown leads…and don’t get me started on the zone coverage.
But something more concerning happened…
Before diving into that, let’s address a few things first. This game isn’t all on Coach Sullivan. As I’ve said before, I consider Sullivan one of the NHL’s best coaches. But he’s not the right coach for this team anymore.
It’s also not entirely his fault that this group seemed to give up after that third goal slipped past Nedeljkovic, who was having a rough night.
