The fine line between panic and patience

There is every reason to be frustrated with the Pittsburgh Penguins right now.

They have not only lost six games in a row, they have lost them in pretty maddening fashion.

In three of those games they have had multiple goal leads more than halfway through the game 3-1 in Edmonton, 5-2 against Boston, 3-1 in Buffalo), including two in the third period.

They have already lost three games this season when leading after two periods, matching their total from the ENTIRE 2021-22 season.

It is a bad, terrible stretch of hockey that deserves every ounce of criticism it is getting because there are real flaws and concerns.
