Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like I’ll be able to more content when we’re truly, truly bad compared to now. At least then we’ll have a defined direction and can look forward to high first rounders and following potentially good prospects. Plus every game I’ll have the mindset of…well, if we win that’s great but if we lose, better draft odds. Instead of now having some sort of expectations and being frustratingly let down the last few years.
I think Penguins fans are in a for a rude awakening when it comes to this.
We haven't seen that level of crap since before 83. It's been 40 years.
I worked in Phoenix for many years right after 2012. It wasn't pretty.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have no incentive to attract talent. They had Lemieux and Crosby and barely could do it with them.
They'll have their legacy, but look at how that has worked out for a team like Detroit.
It's really easy to say after this core that it'll be easier to root for them, but it's going to be a grind of mediocrity without the enjoyment of the star players even at their age that we have now.
Look at Philadelphia over the last 14 years. My father was a diehard fan since 74. He hardly even cares about them at this point due to their lack of success.
