The one facet of the game the Penguins were lauded for so much in the past now seems like a distant memory.
Speed.
To avoid the dramatics, this new “reality” has really only been a sore spot for the team these past three games. The Penguins, as a whole, are still relatively fast on paper in comparison to the rest of the league (who only seem to be catching up as each day passes). However, it’s hard to ignore just how slow this team looks right now, and it’s effectively destroying their victory chances.
