Pressure on Kyle Dubas, Penguins after Sidney Crosby extension? | Concern about Pirates’ Oneil Cruz?



On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to Sidney Crosby’s contract extension with the Penguins. How much pressure does it put on GM Kyle Dubas and coach Mike Sullivan to get back in the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs and win? Do additions including Cody Glass, Blake Lizotte and Kevin Hayes make the supporting cast around Crosby and fellow starts Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin better? And what are the consequences if the Penguins struggle and miss the playoffs again in 2025?

Jason tackles those questions, plus Oneil Cruz’s shift to center field for the Pirates. Are some fans overreacting to his early mistakes? And are the overall results actually promising for manager Derek Shelton and GM Ben Cherington?

  1. I could be wrong, but isn't Sidney still one of the leaders in the league with points per game???

  2. Wild Bill from Willard Hill says…
    Sidney Crosby has played the most seasons with more than 1.00 point per game, with 19 seasons.

  3. You should change the name of your videos to “Mackey’s Dirty Dozen.” You’re always around 12 minutes.
