With the Penguins’ 2019-20 season now at the halfway point (last night was game 42 to start the second half of the 82 game schedule), here’s some random thoughts and observations of items learned so far.
It’s kind of interesting that while Evgeni Malkin and Jim Rutherford don’t have much left to prove or accomplish, their seasons are standing out as two really good years, after there was a lot of justifiable concern that would not be the case this year.
Evgeni Malkin has still got it. How 33-year old Evgeni Malkin would or wouldn’t respond or bounce-back was a major key of the last off-season.
