It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Yeah sorry that that offends you, but even during these past few years the Pirates have been good and even with the most beautiful goddamn baseball stadium in the universe, they've stayed right at the bottom of the league in attendance.

They have a few diehards but so does every baseball team that's existed for 100+ years.

Should have pulled Murray after the 4th goal, IMO.

Getting Hainsey was understandable when the Penguins were having trouble finding 12 defensemen capable of skating to fill out the Pittsburgh and WBS rosters. Playing him 20 minutes a game now, long past when it's obvious he can't play anymore... yeah, that doesn't make sense.

I've actually been watching this closely and can report that so far Hainsey has successfully passed the puck to a teammate twice tonight, versus about 25 turnovers.

It's worse than that though because his defensive positioning is also Derrick Pouliot level LOL bad. Like he's actively trying to avoid getting between the puck carrier and anything else.

Pittsburgh is definitely a baseball town, that's why Bob Nutting is so insidious, he gets families to go to his honey pot stadium because the parents remember Clemente and Stargill, and they bring the grandparents who remember the days when of Maz and Dick Groat and can feel young again and then they bring their kids with promises of fireworks, bobbleheads, and enormous amounts of cheapish food. All the while maximizing profit by going with lowest effort in making competitive teams with cheap contracts and trading our best players for peanuts. Bob Nutting deserves nothing more than the guillotine while watching his Seven Springs Resort burn to the ground.

On a happier note, the Senators blew the Penguins out once too so whatever. Just hoping we get through garbage time without any major injuries and the Preds still have to win 3 out of 4.

Not really. Outside of the Ottawa series, the power play hasn't been very consistent at all. They were 1-3 in Game 1, 0-7 in Game 2, and are now 0-3 in this game.
they scored 5 pp goals in 5 games against columbus, i dont know how much more you can ask for. all power plays are streaky and its exacerbated by how games can be called in the playoffs. its operating at 22% for the playoffs which is super high.

Yes but that inflated by the two teams they played which are not very good. Against the two teams they've played which are actually good, the Pens' PP has been a disaster. "But but but they were really good against the Blue Jackets!" ain't much help when you're playing the Predators.

The big surprise for me has been that the Penguins' PK hasn't been a total disaster, given how Hainsey/Maatta get like 60% of the PK time.
