The Full Story: Idiot Takes Puck From Boy, Penguins Fans Go Nuts
There was side drama to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday evening. Many fans at PPG Paints Arena and those watching on screens large and small were left to wonder what in the world was happening as a larger corner of the arena was going bonkers and chanted...pittsburghhockeynow.com
Keep me postednot really as I have admitted that my issues with him are more personal but I do worry that what I see that annoys me may actually be a future problem
He had a few clunkers in December that contributed to him losing 6 of 7 starts, but he's been excellent since the Winter Classic. All in all, he's let in a few more back breaker late softies than I'd like (or expect out of him) and he's been a touch more hot/cold than I'd like. I'd like him to have a better 2nd half than 1st half and I think that is a reasonable expectation given his contract and past track record.
But right now is a very weird time to criticize. He was no less than our 2nd best player last night in a 2-1 victory and he's been above average in 4 of his last 5 starts.
