To me personally, 87 retiring as a penguin And the multiple things he has done for this franchise and this city (3 cups) I feel like that’s more important than winning. So if this team starts to decline over the r next few seasons I will be loyal to Crosby. Although I think we bounce back and make a wild card spot.

"Keep rolling the old man out there!" Really laughed at that one.😂😂🙃

Forget the 1st round pick. The trade was well worth it!

The fans and organization should make it all about Sidney Crosby because him fleury, letang, Malkin saved this team from very dark times when the penguins almost moved cities….Sidney is the best player since Mario Lemieux has played here other then Jagr. He saved hockey in Pittsburgh. Point blank period end of story

It's only preseason but the power play didn't seem to click at all.

Yo DK..Amongst the borderline players who do you think makes the team and who doesnt? You know which players to talk about. Seems like Zahorna is getting a good look this time and he's been active and around the puck quite alot. Does he make it? Drew? PO doesnt seem like a certainty given the new acquisitions..etc. Ed

Sid and TJ are the only two bright spots in a miserable Fall sports season this year in Pittsburgh!

musings...Dont know why anyone should disagree with what you said about Sid and to a lesser extent Malkin and Letang. I watched quite a bit of last nights game hoping to wash away some of the stench of the Steelers game.. It got a bit chippy at times for the pre season. The announcers called Zohorna's number quite a lot..Drew's not so much. I have mixed feelings about Carter...Comparing him to someone who was clearly on the ice last season when he shouldnt have been (#8), he's miles ahead of that. Carter actually had quite a bit of jump last night on the wing and still can provide some value to this team I think albeit with limited minutes. The Pens may have too many toys on the PP. Karlsson is magic. I think the fan base is often too quick to fully embrace certain players and to ridicule others on the Steelers and Pens.

6 powerplays with KARLSSON AND NOT ONE GOAL.

The Penguins were obviously not prepared to play this game. It's ok I know this was a bonding trip for a lot of guys but don't look completely unprepared on the power play like this again or I will have a more than a few words about it in the regular season.
