We don't really have an NHL level D-Corps and just played against a team that ran more interference than a signal jammer. I have no clue if the rules changed of if Boston just gets to play however they want but those were two brutal games to watch.
Other than that - the Penguins are built (at this point) entirely on skill and finesse. Teams built on size and structure are going to play better at the start of the year. Our squad is going to need to work the kinks out of their passing, shooting, skating, etc before we start looking good. I'm not nearly as disgusted as I'd have expected or a lot of you are. I knew our bottom 6 had basically zero scoring threat - knew that after ditching Horny we'd have a tough time winning 1 goal games that get chippy....so what's the big confusion here?
