Anyone who’s read PenguinPoop over the years knows the Penguins’ size and toughness…or lack of…has been an ongoing concern of mine.
After watching our guys do battle with the ultra-heavy Wild in a game that featured a healthy dose of physical play last Thursday night, I began wondering anew if we have the requisite size and strength to not only survive a run to the Cup but thrive.
I worry about injuries. I worry about pushback. I worry about what happens to us when we absorb punishment and aren’t handed a spate of power plays to redress the balance.
