NHL Weekend Shockers: Penguins’ Turmoil, Sharks’ Rise, and Toronto’s Unthinkable Collapse
Well, get ready, because it sure looks like that playoff appearance is going to happen … in Pittsburgh, which wasn’t supposed to be an option this year.
Maybe we should pump the brakes just a bit, because this is a very weird team. Yesterday’s win over the Canucks was their fourth straight, the third time this year they’ve had a streak at least that long. But they’ve also mixed in an eight-game losing streak back in December, not to mention the stretch of four losses in five games just a few weeks ago. Mirtle has them among the league’s most compelling teams, and you can’t really argue. But in a league where we love to tell teams to pick a lane, the Penguins are just wildly swerving down the middle of the road to the playoffs.
