The Pittsburgh Penguins exciting season came to an end a few days ago in game 6 of their first round matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. The team lost all 3 of their first games in the series and despite a strong effort to climb back; they’d end up losing in overtime in game six. The Flyers and goaltender Dan Vladar shut down the high flying Penguins in a hard fought battle between two rivals.

I think that the penguins need a 2nd line center badly. I would try to get rid of Novak and Girard as well.
As a Penguins fan they tried hard but it was not enough. The games before the playoffs showed that. When the main 4 were "sick" they lost hardcore. The back end of the team is not there. They have to stop relying on the main 4 all the time.
It was a fun year. I was happy to see the Pens back in the playoffs. The legacy of the top 3 is already secured, which I think is a double edged sword. On one hand, they have nothing left to prove and a lot of fans are just happy to see them in the ice. On the other hand, you need the hunger to push deep into the playoffs. I think it’s pretty obvious that they lacked that hunger in the first two games of this series. Did I think they’d make a deep run? No, but I think they are a better team than Philly. If they had showed up hungry in game one… well, we’d have watched them get dominated by Carolina last night instead of Philly.
Would like to see Letang gone but the contract would be tough to offload
