At this point, deserves its own thread.

I get that it’s still early in the season but with zero coaching turnover and a pp unit that essentially swapped Ghost for TDA (who was here the year before), it already looks exactly like it did the previous two seasons. I don’t think we generated one high danger chance last night on our four opportunities. I know on two of them, we didn’t even generate a shot. I would like to believe Svech will come in and fix it but history says otherwise. 

Scoring short handed is not a sustainable counter to our pp being defunct lol. I think it’s a very real chink in our armor.

I think we just get way too focused on trying to create rebounds in front. We need to try to displace some of the bodies in the slot so we can get something cross crease more often. Nearly every chance we do get comes from working in deep, kicking it up the boards, getting it center blue line, back to right circle for a one timer or having them skate it in looking for a dirty rebound. It hasn't worked. 

Teams know what we like to do and force us into it while parking three in front of the net and one in the slot to keep pressure on the blue line/take away the circle to circle pass.

We did score a PP goal against the Sens and that first PP last night did everything BUT score. It was a beauty. However, it is still lacking right now. Give the kings some credit, that is a playoff and cup team we beat. 
 

3 short handed goals in two games is unbelievable though. At least we are scoring so far this year.

      Like who? We have had far more leave and not pan out than vice versa.

      Evero HC requests!

      By t96 · Posted

      My point is they are not going to make a bad hire, in all likelihood. Evero may or may not be a serious candidate for him. Like it or not, many teams interview certain coaches to check the rooney rule box. But if he is a serious candidate and they do hire him it means there's something there we probably don't see. I HATE Evero's scheme and playcalling decisions, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be a good/great HC. They are ultimately 2 different jobs, especially if as HC he let his DC call the plays.   Maybe you're right about Tomlin but I don't get that vibe personally. I doubt they'd have fired him this year, maybe he saw writing on the wall for the following year but based on comments from Steelers ownership I think they were happy with him having them competitive every year, even with the playoff losing. I mean all Tomlin really needed to break through in the playoffs IMO was a QB. Harbaugh got fired (mutual*) because they couldn't break through again despite having a probably future HoF QB and multiple time MVP.    I think Tomlin wanted a break and a change himself. I think he'll go back to coaching in a year or 2, but isn't waiting for the right opportunity just actually wants a break and a less stressful media job for now to kinda reset. Also wonder if he was getting frustrated at how the Steelers' FO kept approaching the QB position recently.

      Green Bay may very well open up after next season. I agree, I think he will likely choose a spot with a settled QB situation. He thrived with that in Pittsburgh but he had to scrap hard to make do with the parade of misfit QB's since Roethlisberger retired.
