In my last article, I opined that, barring a total collapse, the Penguins are a playoff team. Well, don’t look now, but that worst-case scenario may be playing out before our very eyes.
Our once-promising season continued to devolve last night at Madison Square Garden. (That 10-game winning streak seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?) With captain and linchpin Sidney Crosby sidelined due to a non-Covid illness, the Pens’ pop-gun attack (28th in the league in finishing) sputtered once more en route to a 3-0 loss to the Rangers.
The game pretty much followed our recent pattern.
