Last night I visited Hockey-Reference.com to check out the Penguins’ stats and get caught up on some things. As I glanced at the standings, I was astonished to see our Pens sitting dead last in the Metropolitan Division. Talk about a shock to your system.
I guess it really shouldn’t be given the way we’ve played since the end of October (languished is more appropriate). Indeed, since returning from our glorious road on a four-game tear, we’ve gone a dismal 1-6-1. Talk about a tailspin! If we were a fighter pilot, we’d be ditching our jet in the Pacific amid shark-infested waters.
