News Article: Penguins situation shaky as they prepare for another Flyers loss at home

[Dessloch]

On a bone-cold day in Butler County, inside the splendiferous Lemieux Center for Undisclosed Injuries, the Penguins on Wednesday completed preparations for their regularly scheduled home loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

That comes tonight, at least if history is any indication, but regardless of whether Beau Bennett returned to practice (he did) or whether Kris Letang is day to day (aren’t we all?) the larger question is the perceived direction of a hockey season hereabouts that has had all the appeal and potential of a drainage ditch by the side of Route 228.

Tonight’s loss should begin to calcify the notion that these 2015-16 Penguins are never going to be much beyond what they appear — an underachieving team that might well save itself the embarrassment of a first-round playoff exit by bolting for vacation at its earliest convenience.

As a betting man, I would love to have a crystal ball.

Isn't Collier a joke?

No more a joke than the Pens at home against the Flyers.

But in all seriousness, I have no idea who Collier is. Nor do I really care. The vast majority, if not entirety of the Pittsburgh sports media is pure garbage.

It'd be easier to argue this if the quoted part wasn't ringing true.

 

[BobCole]

The funny part is that it's idiots like this who will also criticize players for their "bad attitudes."

Reverse jinx.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Oh man. The internet never forgets.

Nobody has fewer wins in this NHL than the Toronto Maple Leafs, for example, but the Leaves just beat the Flyers,
