Pens last 17 years is so superior to the Flyers and imagine being a Flyers fan who was used to being one of the premier franchises only to have the Clarks and Hextalls just keep a crap franchise going. Pens need a win and playing for something is better than not. But if the message is clear to FSG abot needed changes , then maybe it takes not making the playoffs to get their attention.
