Aging Pittsburgh Penguins face uphill battle to snatch post-season spot
Sidney Crosby has seen a lot during his nearly two decades in the NHL. Championships. Scoring titles. MVPs.
As Crosby spoke, Jake Guentzel’s nameplate was still above the stall next to Crosby’s in Pittsburgh’s dressing room. By Friday morning, it was gone.
Six months after saying he was confident his team could prove the doubters wrong, Dubas instead finds himself trying to thread a needle that former league powers Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles could not by attempting to rebuild around his franchise icons without bottoming out. There are still 21 games to go. Yet the exhibition-like nature of a sloppy win over Columbus on Tuesday and the no-show against the Capitals on Thursday gives off vibes of a team that’s ready for summer to get here.
