It would appear keeping only one defender back and giving McDavid multiple odd man chances isn't a winning combination.

Gotta love when a ref's blown call leads to a goal.

Would be nice if Letang stopped playing like a giant softie and moved someone out of the crease.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for any physical play from this team. You’ll pass out.

And on cue, Letang gets pushed off the puck and the Oilers get an ENG. Can we healthy scratch him Saturday night?

Well, that was a 2021 Penguins game.

Great PK
Bad PP
Gave up lots of odd-man rushes
No hits
No fights
No scrums/anger/emotion/dislike
Very few flashes of skill
Some blocked shots
Inability to finish
Not many high danger scoring chances

What’s the Penguins identity?

I don’t know. And that’s a problem.

I'm going with "Aging team on the inevitable decline after years in contention."

Is this aging Crosby or rusty, post-covid, post-surgery Crosby?

He seems to lack significant jump which I just don’t see him losing that quickly. Wonder if he just feels sort of shitty after covid.

Side note: everyday that passes by, the worse the latter years of Rutherford’s regime look. Kapanen nailed to the bench during the third. Zucker just isn’t very good at all. Paying JJs buyout for years.

Also, the second line is struggling big time right now but that fourth line, Jesus. Why is DOC down in the minors when you have freaking Sam Lafferty centering a fourth line with the ghost of Don Simon.

IMO you have to get kapanen out of the top 6. I know you don't have a ton of options but that line is useless. Swap him and mcginn for a few games or throw DOC up there

I don’t get Kapanen. That dude worked his ass off in the playoffs and then decides to be a lazy **** to start the regular season.

Hes a headcase. He makes such stupid plays with the puck and is basically only useful in transition but that doesn't work well on a line with old and slow jeff Carter (who I love but he is still slow) and zucker who is kind of just there, fine as the 3rd guy on the line but not a driver.

You can't have a line that doesn't have anyone that can drive puck possession. Carter could, but not at 36.

Christ I'd rather see Simon there than kapanen at this point.

Hopefully Dumoulin remembers how to play 2-on-1s going forward
