2. We must sign Malkin.
3. Fleury only gets bought out if we need cash to sign 58.
4. Gonchar just got 5 mil a year. Letang is getting bank.
5. I would give it to him despite his many faults.
6. We are counting on growth and maturity from 87, 71, 47, 19, why not 58?
7. The only pick up we should keep is 3. Perhaps 36.
8. Thank you Cooke, Kennedy and Dupuis. You at least got one cup.
9. Three months until camp.
10. Let's Go Pens.

Players take on the mentality of their head coach.

I think that more accurately describes a big percentage of our fan base, than our team.

Some, sure.
But I don't think you can fault the fans for thinking that the team that could arguably be said to have had the best roster (on paper) are disappointed that they were eliminated in four straight, went 0-15 on the PP and scored a lousy two goals in the entire series, for thinking they should have had a better showing in the conference final.

2. Fleury needs to be bought out/traded/demoted...whatever it takes.
3. Geno probably needs shoulder surgery (just speculating).
4. Sid is injury-free, which is a good thing. Other than that, not much else to say...
5. Paul Martin is the Pens best all-around defenseman.
6. Letang is a bonehead and not worth what many think he will ask for. Trade him
7. Orpik is on the decline.
8. Iginla and Morrow are old and slow.
9. Disco Dan needs to be canned.
10. Pens need an infusion of youth, speed and size.
11. Shero has a lot of work to do this summer....see points 1, 2, 6, 9 and 10.

Maybe they are the most arrogant organization in the NHL.
“I tried,” Malkin said. “I tried. If you're not (shooting), you're not scoring goals. Sometimes I'm not scoring and I'm nervous and I have good chances — I don't know, try to shoot quicker? Sometimes I can wait and get an empty net. It's tough.
“I have no confidence. You know, zero goals.”
Malkin launched 21 shots on goal during the series.

He inherited a team that was committed to defense but unhappy with treatment, and it was a perfect combination at the time. Since then, he has ruined the development of Kris Letang as a defenseman by not making him accountable for his mistakes. The offense on this team will come, but they need a coach that will remind them how they need to play.
I am close to saying Letang is in the same category as Fleury, who is broken and needs to go, but he's so talented that it makes me believe he can be coached. Bylsma did absolutely, positively nothing to bring out the best in Letang. It's almost as if he did what Boudreau did with Mike Green and said, "Just go do your thing." Once upon a time Letang talked about playing a game similar to Nik Lidstrom's, and he's about as far from that as humanly possible.
