Penguins Season Update 1

So far the 2014 season is looking bright for the Penguins.  They are off to an 11-4 start at the end of October. The team recently underwent a small 3 games slide where they were outscored 9-4, but this short streak may have been overshadowed by the return of Kris Letang, who was out with an injury for most of this month, and a few injuries to key players such as James Neal and Rob Scuderi.  Being without James Neal for nearly the whole month of October has hurt the team's production.  The return of defensive star Kris Letang has seemed to put a little jolt in the team, but the team is still missing something.  With the possibility of Neal returning to the lineup in the upcoming week, it gives hope to the fans and the team.  The return of Neal may also spark a pitiful power play.  Hopefully the Penguins can make a habit of winning in the month of November to help keep their playoff hopes alive.

  1. The injuries may have a bit of a damaging effect to the team, but what's really killing them is Malkin and Crosby's lack of production. They are all-stars, the leaders of the NHL, we should be outscoring each team we play by at least 2. Yet we can't produce, so our two-headed monster needs to step up their game and put the puck in the net. They are getting chances, beautiful ones at that, but they can't finish. If they want to win the Cup, they need to finish. Period.
