Penguins Struggling to Take Flight Early This Season

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?

  1. 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.

  4. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  22. 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.

  24. 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.

  26. I said this a while ago, this franchise set itself back by who knows how long by chasing a cup when the window was painted and nailed shut on them. Age, cap and salary problems. They have no picks and the pipeline cabinet is empty. My Pens are in huge trouble. This is what happens when you say "Well, we owe this player for the loyalty they've showed the franchise. So we have to keep trying instead of rebuilding." The only thing you owe any player is the salary you promised them. Love Sid, but he's put this team in a weird limbo until he retires.

  27. I have only been watching them because of Pulju. What can I say ? Karlsson is BRUTAL, 87 seems disinterested, they are constantly outshot & outscored. They are SLOW. Definitely a lottery team and trending down…
