Whats wrong with the Pittsburgh Penguins?
I still love this team and believe in this group
Should of never signed Jarry
#FireToddReirden
Big Jeff Carter gotta go
Not panicking
Still better than Sharks! That's a plus!
Should of rebuilt when they had the chance
No joke, sign Kessel for league min. He can help the pp and contribute in the bottom 6. PP has never been the same with out him
Pens are always looking for the big deflections in front. I agree, we need someone to park in front of the goalie for a screen. Let Karlsson rip a few and look for a rebound.
Reddit comment from RangerGoradh – "The point about screening the goalie on the PP is apt. Nobody does it. And how about the fact that Karlsson looks completely boxed out on almost every powerplay? The team doesn't even try to make passes to him and instead forces one-timers to Gino. Completely boggles the mind."
Reddit comment from Stormlight85 – "What's wrong is that this core/team's window is closed and no one seems willing to accept it. Y'all wanna why Jarry got signed? No other goalie to be gotten with our available cap and the goalies on the market. 87 and 71 cannot take over games anymore, they're slow, easily out-skated and old. We're the oldest team in the league.
The longer people believe this team can compete for a Cup just because they have 87/71/58, the longer and harsher the re-build is. Chicago started theirs properly even though they still had Toews and Kane.
Rebuild is now, but no one wants to accept it. That's what's wrong."
They hired Dubas….
