Gene Collier: Not the kind of break you want to catch

This is an odd little intersection we’ve wandered into right here in the dead of Penguins winter.

We can say pretty definitely that we’ve reached the sunny side of What-The-Heck-Is-Wrong-With-Sidney-Crosby Street, but this new road looks just as potentially puzzling, a long, slushy, foggy traffic circle around the NHL All-Star weekend.

Such as it is.

If I were Mike Sullivan and my hockey club had the current pulse rate and battle temperature of these Penguins, I would want to go straight to Washington to play that postponed affair against the Capitals, then hop aboard an Amtrak metroliner for a run through the eastern corridor of the Metropolitan Division.
