Penguins Update: Has the Fire Gone Out?

You’ve just dined on a full course Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, crescent rolls…the works. Indulged in seconds, too.

You’re lounging on the couch, trying to get comfortable, perhaps even watching your favorite local hockey team on the tube.

“Hungry for dessert?” someone calls from the kitchen. “We’ve got fresh-baked pumpkin pie with whipped cream.”

Ugh. While you sure would like to say “yes,” the truth is you’re stuffed. Can’t eat another bite.

Excuse the clunky holiday analogy. But perhaps you’ve guessed where I’m going with this.

Having scaled the very pinnacle of the hockey world with back-to-back Stanley Cups, are the Penguins still hungry?
