Fellow PenguinPooper Caleb Di’Natalie and I were discussing the merits of former Penguins defenseman Jeff Petry in the wake of his recent trade to the Red Wings. When I mentioned the fact that we had a pretty good record with Petry in the lineup, Caleb replied, “He didn’t do a bad job. He just didn’t fit (coach Mike) Sullivan’s system.”
No sooner did Caleb utter his truism than a light bulb turned on in my head.
I wonder how many other players were basically chewed up and spit out because they didn’t fit Mike Sullivan’s system (or weren’t Sully guys)?
