Les Pens ont raté les séries éliminatoires et ont choisi de doubler leur retour dans le contentio plutôt que de se réoutiller ou de se reconstruire.

Letang said in an interview that he mentally wasn't able to get back into the swing last year which between his stroke and his father's death, I think everyone was surprised to even see him play again last season, let alone feel mentally there. I hope he has a great season this year.
It's been a few years since I was this excited for the Penguins
Amazing how one game can change the 🥠 furtunes of two teams and maybe the whole Playoffs.
Amazing how long Pitts has danced the line of using assets to stay in playoffs/ win a cup, vs crash and burn of delaying a rebuild
I do agree this can work for Pitts if the trio stay healthy
Jarry is so weak and a head case on top of it. Pens need to upgrade G soon or they will continue to hit the greens every April. Sad but True!
"The last march of the Ents" I think they are a good chance to make it this year.
After that though…
They'll probably get back into the playoffs, I don't believe the addition of Karlsson makes an old team a little older, and not that much better to do anything significant when they get there. Unless the goaltending is lights out, it's another year of Crosby pulling the sled of slim forward depth scoring
Talk about going all in. I have questions considering age and the goaltending duo, but they'll be fun to watch. 4th in the Metro and just short in the WC race with 91-96 points.
I still think the top three is Canes/Devils/Rangers but maybe the Pens can sneak into that third spot if injury luck smiles upon them. That’s a huge “if.” Especially for Karlsson.
The Pens also have Hellberg from the Wings, who may give Ned a run at backup goalie, similar to how it was when they were both here in Detroit.
they are ahead of many teams in the East : montreal, detroit, ottawa, philly, columbus, washington.
they will fight for the wildcard unless the rangers start tanking.
Even with Karlsson, all that offensive power is not gonna cover up their defense and goaltending.
The dearth of secondary scoring last season can't be understated. I think people have a tendency to compartmentalize any team's shortcomings. But if one aspect of a team is exceptionally bad, it has a domino effect on other aspects of the game. And Pittsburgh's nonexistent secondary scoring significantly affected ice time, frequency of defensive zone starts, and a million other things. If you know you're not getting any goals from your bottom six, it puts so much more pressure on the top six, in many different ways.
Now, I'm not sure Dubas has put together a league-best bottom six together or anything. But on paper, they seem significantly better than last year. And who knows–if they are a lot better, maybe they can shelter Carter better, and make his shifts more impactful (in a good way) in his likely final season.
The Penguins won't even come close to the playoffs.
My fantasy picks: Crosby, EK65, Guetzel, Malkin and Letang
They legitimately could win the metro if things went right, I’m hopeful for 2nd or 3rd
Can’t wait until they’re in purgatory for 10+ years after they all retire
Brock Nelson is going to snap a few GWGs through Jarry. Isles take season series 3-1.
I am glad Acciari is here in pittsburgh. He will shock some people with his grit no doubt
I'm a Kings fan, but it's so cool to see in depth looks at other teams. It's amazing that THG does 32, insane.
Evgeni Malkin will score his 500th goal!
Rem Pitlick did 37 points (15 goals) in 66 games in 2021-2022, he was stuck playing with offensively incompetent teams for all his career, Nashville, Minnesota, Montreal. Last season in Montreal, we kept benching him to showcase Veterans with bad contracts we wanted to trade, not a good environment to perform knowing no matter what you do Armia or Hoffman would take your spot, we also had quite a few youngster to « evaluate » so who would be moved aside ? You guessed it …
Hopefully he gets a real stable shot in Pittsburgh.
10:56 if I'm not mistaken, Pittsburgh had no chance of drafting first even with a lottery win
