They were resilient enough to cover for mistakes when they were younger, sure. But now that they can't, it's up to the coach to preach responsibility instead of relying on athleticism that they had 5 years ago to bail them out.
I don't think that's the case because in both pictures he's facing back to the D-zone. If his intent (no matter how stupid) was to go for a change, his back should be to the play the entire time as he's racing to the bench. But in both pictures his body is turned toward the D-zone and not the Pens' bench.

Penguins' top line victimized in loss to Maple Leafs
As Sidney Crosby goes, the Pittsburgh Penguins tend to go. And neither went in a particularly good direction Tuesday night. During a 5-2 home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at PPG Paints Arena, Crosby had a goal but was somewhat directly involved in two of the visitors’ scores. In
I dont think so…they watch the practices, he’s been skating with the team with no mention of him still being injured…I mean maybe it would behoove a member of the fourth estate to actually ask Sullivan if POJ is back to full health and let us know, but I think they know he’s fine and just haven’t spelled it out for us that directly
No teammate of any value in a professional environment is going to straight out throw their teammate under the bus, regardless of how they are feeling about said teammate. Just look at Crosbys reaction to the question asked to him in the tweet. He looks like a guy that just wants to let loose but knows he can't.No quote but I saw some tweets at the time and then see the comment at the bottom of this article after the game….

the difference this time is that back then he was snakebit, he was getting chances and was somewhat defensively responsible (although they were steel leaking chances, they just were lucky with unsustainable PDO), this time he is not even in position, just floating around...
he is around the same number of shots 2 per game 5 on 5 and 3 per game all situations....and his shooting percentage is the same 5 on 5 around 8.5% 8.8% this year, its that he was scoring PP goals last year and his shooting percentage in all situations (PP and EN included) was over 13 % last year where this year is still a little bit over 8%. Anyways, this still does not include missed shots, last year even when he was cold, he still had great opportunities, this year he just looks meh
That would work if only Hextall hadn’t decided to gift him with a full NMC to go along with his six year contract lol…doubt he waives lol
why would we play guys nursing injury at this junction, does not make any sense
