Is there anything new or insightful to say about the 2022-23 Penguins at this point?
Their problems are abundant and apparent no matter how well the team's top players mask them on certain nights. Even then, amid so many challenges across the board, it's a challenge in and of itself asking the stars to be absolutely perfect, game after game ... after game.
But that's what continues to happen.
The roster hasn't changed. The lineup has changed minimally (certainly not to any sort of consequence). And that was reflected again when the Penguins suffered a crushing loss Saturday here at PPG Paints Arena.
