Anyone?

PP1 looked better, but the same result.

If you told my in September that at the end of January that Jeff Carter would had played in almost every game and he wouldn’t even be close to being in the top 10 of what is wrong with this team I wouldn’t have believed you.

All three forwards chasing the puck within 4 feet of each other. When it’s Sid, Jake and Rust doing that it’s a coaching issue.

Pettersson with a bad decision to leave that side of the ice uncovered.Too easy a look and its behind Jarry.

The stretch passes are so outdated. How about the forwards come back and support breakouts.

That was 100 % on Pettersson. I can’t understand the thinking of not covering anyone. Left Jarry out to dry.

I don’t know what the org is so afraid of when it comes to making a coaching change. It’s like there’s some fear that the team will tank and fall apart. I mean, they missed the playoffs last year, and are currently likely to miss them again this year. Do they think another coach would somehow be worse than this? IMO, it’s a low risk, high reward situation.

Really needed 4 points this weekend, getting just one should be the final straw to get some people fired. But it won’t.

Which historically is so stupid because the last 3 coaching changes in mid season lead to Stanley Cup Finals and some Cups.

When was the last time a Penguin took the puck to the net?

White had a chance to take it straight to the net and tried a diagonal pass.

Goaltenders. Giving the Pens very good chances to win almost every start.
