Yes, I am aware penguins can’t fly, though the team takes flights to each city for their games. Can the team turn things around?

Not sayin just sayin: McFleury before trade deadline?
The Erik Karlsson trade 2.0 couldn't have honestly worked out better for the sharks. Got rid of 10 million dollars, got a grade A defensive prospect, and got Granlund who has been a PPG forward for the sharks. Even if he wins a Norris in Pittsburgh it won't change anything about the trade for the sharks.
The 2020s are going to be very tough…
Pens need a pretty decent shake up.
Pittsburgh seems to be in trouble. There is still talent on this team, albeit a little on the old side. But at some point, teams like Detroit and Ottawa are going to be moving up. That's not good news for the Pens. Last year at this time, I thought both Pittsburgh and Washington were in similar situations. The Caps seems to be better off than the Pens at this point. If the goaltending continues to be a problem, then Pittsburgh will be below the playoff line.
The Penguins are old.
It’s over time to rebuild they are old
The reality is that Crosby/Malkin/Letang/Karlsson is not a good enough core to win with. They've all accomplished great things, and have nothing left to prove, but in 2024 they are old, soft, and injury-prone. They haven't won a playoff series in 6 seasons
That’s problem they keep trying to fly when they really need to learn how to swim differently
If the coach's name wasn't Mike Sullivan, he would've already been gone.
I think the penguins need a new coach, Mike Sullivan has been a phenomenal coach for years, but I don’t think his coaching is fit anymore
This team has needed a rebuild years ago.
Team is top on the expected goals on both ends of the ice. Same issue as last season, lacking defensive play. Not just that the defense makes idiotically risky plays on the offensive blue line, but there is no collective defensive effort when play goes to own end. Just change the style of play to fit the aging team. Head coach change should be done soon as possible. Should have been done already last year. That is if the team is still in "win one more time" mode.
Unlike the Caps, Pittsburgh did not revamp their team in the off-season. So they just got another year older and slower so it's no wonder they are again struggling.
Crosby needs to take the Four Nations off. He won’t though.
This team has far surpassed and outlasted their viability. Now it's just sad watching them grow old together.
The Pittsburgh Opus’ 🐧
Maybe they can rock out to Billy and the Boingers 🎵
Blomqvist has been pretty impressive its honestly sad to see the team in front of him allow 50 shots on goal knowing that they can do so much more.
Imagine if the Penguins win the draft this year.
we all know that Jarry's "conditioning stint" isnt actually a conditioning stint, right?
put letang and karlson on 3rd pair together and limit there minutes. ugh
Dubas is just a poor GM. Look at all the guys he’s added. At best you could say 2-3 of the acquisitions have been just decent.
maybe trade one or two star players that can help playoff contenders for somewhat younger depth on offense and defense?
You just HATE to see it. 😘
Karlsson is poison, lacks work ethos.
I saw a curious list of statistics that showed Crosby is about the 9th best player for the Penguins this season by most metrics, and that he's terrible 5v5. Funny how none of these statistics get mentioned. The facts just don't line up with the narrative, do they? I bet he gets voted the best player again, no matter what the facts are.
I mean, if I'm GM for a day, Welcome home Rickard Rakell.
Pens fan here, well this is after the loss to Vancouver and to be completely honest I think that coach Sullivan’s years in Pittsburgh needs to come to an end and this defense needs to be fixed it is terrible to watch.
Lol they got Karlsson (wirst defensive player) and then the next year got an old matt gryzlek who is terrible… all after "prioritizing" getting younger
