Penguins: It runs down hill.

It is an old saying. I have said it many times, heard it many times in different contexts and in slightly different ways, but it must be said again; “Victory has a thousand fathers – defeat is an orphan.”

Like most Penguins’ fans, out of morbid commiseration I have been reading post-mortem after post-mortem these last couple of days, in the wake of the Islander disaster. Media personalities and fans are all weighing in on what went wrong and where they think the blame lies. Some of the sources try to lay the blame on GM, and some on the coach but by far most of the finger pointing has been thrown at the players.
