I’m going to start this post with a well-deserved shout-out to Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now for his outstanding article, “How the Penguins Can Change the Story, Be Competitive.”
To his credit, Dan scored a direct hit on some of our most egregious issues.
“The Penguins need to build a little hate, slather it with some anger, then top it off with a generous portion of coarse resistance,” he wrote.
Amen, Dan.
I confess, his article set my blood a boilin.’
For years I’ve been taking the team to task for its abject lack of fire and hunger, along with an almost pathological avoidance of physical play (and players).
