The more things change, the more things remain the same. As I look at the NHL Standings today, I see the Pittsburgh Penguins placing 7th in the Metropolitan Division, 8th in the Eastern Conference (I noticed there are many teams tied with points, so it feels worse), and placing 10th overall in the NHL.
Ouch, this does not feel so great, and I have a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach.
It was on this day, exactly one year ago, when I wrote this article about the Penguins and how they had faired to date.
