See us finishing 2nd in the division if healthy.
When the chips are down Andy comes back to the lightOn the edge of playoff irrelevance, maybe even 9th, but I put them in 8th. agree with Dave that new strategies are needed, and I would include alternating b2b off for the old guys and trying to split up PP1…but Sullivan will never do that lol
Molinari: Penguins Need Fresh Approach to Old Issue
The average Age in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Opening Night lineup Thursday figures to fall somewhere between Stone and Bronze. Go to a hockey game at PPG Paints Arena this winter, and you just might see an AARP meeting break out. Indeed, if Ron Hextall would make a deal to acquire Methuselah, his...pittsburghhockeynow.com
Uh…good luck with that …lolTo elaborate on my pithy answer, this team is going to have, by sheer virtue of the fact that Crosby and Malkin are all-time greats, streaks of looking great, and by virtue of their ages and the mediocrity of the supporting cast + injuries, stretches of looking f***ing awful. The regular season isn't really proof of how this team will fare in the postseason for a billion different reasons.
What I'd like to see is a more cohesive effort this season, smarter roster moves in general, and I'd like to see how the new blueline moves shape up when put to the test in the stretch. I don't care how we pace or what our GF% or other heatmap bullshit is looking like, I don't care about the seeding, I don't care about how many individual awards we win. If we can see some actual real stylistic changes on the ice that better support where our aging stars are now, then I'll feel hopeful about the postseason. Otherwise, it's just a nice trip to see Geno, Sid, and Letang go down as one of the best trios in Pens history.
