Friday Polls: How are we feeling about the 2024-25 Penguins postmortem

It’s the offseason, it’s Friday, you know what that means. Or maybe you forgot, if so fear not the Friday Polls are back. We start today by looking back at the Penguins’ 2024-25 season. It may feel like a forever ago that many or most accepted that the Pens were not a very good team, but there was still a lot of optimism as little as seven months ago about the team’s prospects.

Despite loud voices to the contrary, most people tend to be outwardly optimistic or not expect worst case scenarios given how the last 20 years of Penguin hockey has conditioned us all.
