Sorry, for the delay in this series but it was a long, long week.
Perhaps my expectations of Pittsburgh Penguins Defensemen have dropped significantly over the last several years, but I may not have been as disappointed as some in the play of this embattled corps. They are just who they are. Face it, this is not the same defense as the defense that won the Cup in 2015-2016. Gone are Ian Cole, Trevor Daley, Ben Lovejoy, and Olli Määttä and Kris Letang and Justin Schultz are not the same Letang and Schultz of yore.
