Holy f*** that's awful.

I peek into the Pens future. Very satisfying.

I peek into the Pens future. Very satisfying.

Reminder that the Pens system was ranked #20 while the Capitals were ranked #9 by Scott Wheeler over at the Athletic.

Further, Pens don't have any core players in the NHL under the age of 29 (except for Pettersson who they just traded) except for the goalie Blomqvist. For the purposes of measuring 'core', I looked at top 10 in points and top 10 in average TOI. [For comparison, Caps have 6 of their top 10 in points 28 or younger and 4 by TOI]

You love to see it.

While the Pitt collapse is satisfying, let us not forget the lengths that Uncle Gary went to on their behalf the last time they were the suck. Middling is the goal. Think the past 60 years of the Leafs.
