Pens Bloggers Blame Everyone But….And Nothing Changes
After fifteen games last season, our Pittsburgh Penguins were 8 – 7 – 0. After fifteen games this season, with all of last season’s scapegoats gone, Mike Sullivan has guided his boys to an astounding turnaround, 5 – 8 – 2. It is painfully obvious that last season poor performance was all on Todd Reirden, not.
This season the names have been changed, with Reirden gone, and the results have gotten worse. Therefore, the Sullivan apologists need a new scapegoat. Next up, Erik Karlsson, another large personality is in the crosshairs (I just read another web site pushing that very deflection from the truth after last night’s loss).
Before I rant any further, I want to remind everyone here that I was never in favor of trading for Karlsson. It was asinine to bring in another soft puck moving defenseman on a team that only has soft puck moving defensemen. I also stated that trading for the old “Karlsson” was even dumber. If a team felt the need for a “Karlsson” then trade for the new “Karlsson”. In short, I have no love for number 65, I have no real desire to defend him.
