Penguins Struggling to Take Flight Early This Season

Yes, I am aware penguins can't fly, though the team takes flights to each city for their games. Can the team turn things around?

See, this is humorous because penguins do not posses the ability of flight.

THG has been cooking with these video titles 🔥

The plight of the flightless Penguins 😔

Unlike the Caps, Pittsburgh did not revamp their team in the off-season. So they just got another year older and slower so it's no wonder they are again struggling.

I think the Penguins need a red bull.

All jokes aside...the team defense is really not fun to watch as a neutral that's for damn sure.

They’re too old. They remind me of the Sharks towards the end of their golden years.

I just don’t see this really turning around with Sullivan at the helm. I love him, I’ve defended him right up to opening day this year. But man this defensive system is just horrible. Constant odd man rushes. No possession of the puck. Forwards aren’t back checking. It’s really bad right now. Not even a rookie goaltender could get them going even a little bit

[JohnnySilverhand-ok]

The reality is that Crosby/Malkin/Letang/Karlsson is not a good enough core to win with. They've all accomplished great things, and have nothing left to prove, but in 2024 they are old, soft, and injury-prone. They haven't won a playoff series in 6 seasons

They were outclassed by Edmonton yesterday. Game wasn't even close. That was a coach is gettig fired type of poor performance. This could be the end for Sullivan in Pittsburgh.

Fun fact: All the penguin species we know today are not really penguins!

They are part of the part of the _Spheniscidae_ family, and are only called penguins because they resemble the great auk, _Pinguinus impennis_, which went extinct in the 19th century.

Pittsburgh fans and Flyers fans finally have common ground; Ron Hextall fucked up both teams with that "concepts of a plan that I did NOT write down"

[matthewsimonds]

One of the craziest stats so far is Crosby is second in the league in GIVEAWAYS with 18, and only has 2 TAKEAWAYS 🤯

[BryceThompson]

Pens fan here, well this is after the loss to Vancouver and to be completely honest I think that coach Sullivan’s years in Pittsburgh needs to come to an end and this defense needs to be fixed it is terrible to watch.

[donniel]

I said this a while ago, this franchise set itself back by who knows how long by chasing a cup when the window was painted and nailed shut on them. Age, cap and salary problems. They have no picks and the pipeline cabinet is empty. My Pens are in huge trouble. This is what happens when you say "Well, we owe this player for the loyalty they've showed the franchise. So we have to keep trying instead of rebuilding." The only thing you owe any player is the salary you promised them. Love Sid, but he's put this team in a weird limbo until he retires.

[Tomatohater]

This team has far surpassed and outlasted their viability. Now it's just sad watching them grow old together.

[seangalvin]

The Erik Karlsson trade 2.0 couldn't have honestly worked out better for the sharks. Got rid of 10 million dollars, got a grade A defensive prospect, and got Granlund who has been a PPG forward for the sharks. Even if he wins a Norris in Pittsburgh it won't change anything about the trade for the sharks.

[kevinhirtle]

If they lose tonight they need to fire sullivan enough is enough players have quit on him

[joeynova]

This team has needed a rebuild years ago.
