This Pittsburgh Penguins Act is Getting Old

[StittsvilleJames]

Is this thread going to get bumped every time they lose?

They are old and they stink. Everything is stale. But man, what a 20 year ride.

Amen.

Everything is cyclical, and getting a dominant stretch for so long is something most fans would kill for.
I"m a Patriots fan, so I know what it's like to be on top for so long, but all good things come to an end.

Maybe the Pens or Pats (or Sens ) will get another all-time run, maybe they won't, but at least it happened, and you have to be happy about that.

Jesus, is this thing going to bump every year until Crosby and Malkin are dead?

Let them ride off into the sunset in peace.

I didn't know it was that bad:

Most high-danger chances against, NHL-wide, while on the ice 5-on-5:

1. Crosby, 44
2. Karlsson, 36
3. Pettersson, 36
4. Letang, 36
5. Rust, 36
6. Grzelcyk, 35

Yea it's bad. They could be a lottery team this year. 30th in defense so far. Have yet to give up less than 3 goals all year.

Aging core but Karlsson, Crosby and Malkin are still elite. If this core was together 10 years ago it would be a dynasty.

The numbers don’t lie folks, this is the Rutger effect. Winnipeg dodged a real bullet

Rutger has been a Penguin since 2022-23 apparently.

Guys ego is so big even space time can’t contain it. Sad

You guys should've known the team was doomed as soon as Dubas was in charge. Just look at what he gave Marner, I would've fired him the minute I heard the terms of that contract.

Clearly we're on the other side of the hill, and sliding down.

A 20 year run isn't bad, and while Malkin and Crosby can breath, we'll still he hoping (say hoping) we can get a little lucky .

Aside from a game or 2, the Pens have been fun to watch so far this year, so there is that too!

Wash, Rinse, and Repeat. It’s time to get top 5 picks and start the process over again.

Penguins will be back. Certainly not this year or the next, but it’s certainly better than close but not good enough.

Let other teams fight to squeeze in the playoffs each year to get embarrassed. Penguins have their sights set on cups. Not mediocrity.

There is simply no way out of this other than to tank and get really good prospects.
