For a lack of kinder words, Sidney Crosby had an abysmal road trip performance, especially in the game against the Colorado Avalanche. He looked sluggish, unsure of himself, and, at times, careless with the puck. Something’s wrong with Crosby this season, and if it’s fatigue from playoff runs in the past, it’s seeming to, due to the giant microscope he’s under at all times, affect his play the most.
Consider this: the Penguins dropped four of their last five games, as well as five of their past seven. This puts them at sixth in the tough Metro division, and two points out of a playoff slot.
