Sidney Crosby is doing Sidney Crosby things, Kyle Dubas is going international again, and the Pittsburgh Penguins chronically cannot stop winning games. They remember they're supposed to be tanking, right?

"This team knows how to win and they know how to crush your spirit to get there. God help anyone who gets in their way."

@matthewauch.bsky.social reflects on the dominance of #TimeToHunt against the Lightning in Round 1: buff.ly/wIamQIK

"No, actually. Panthers, look at me. What in the name of all that is dear and holy do you call that?"

@matthewauch.bsky.social looks back at #TimetoHunt's no good, very bad, Game 1:

Early this season, I asked Sidney Crosby about the inevitable trade rumors that will involve him.

He laughed.

“I don’t worry that stuff. I’ve said I’m going to always be here. I just signed a new contract to be here. I’ve been very up front about it — I’m a Pittsburgh Penguin.”

Over the holidays, the #LetsGoPens :
- Won in overtime
- Won the P. O. Joseph trade by receiving... P. O. Joseph?
- Lost in overtime
- Terrorized the Flyers

So, about as expected. Catch up with @MadisonAuch.bsky.social and the Pens, here: https://buff.ly/40wjvWr

Some days they defend, and some days they don't. The Pittsburgh Penguins are last in the metro even if they've gotten better since October.

"The more defensively responsible the Penguins play, the more success they seem to have. Gee, wonder who could have predicted that?"

Introducing the Kyle Dubas tracker! If you see Kyle Dubas in Pittsburgh or another city, let me know so we can keep it updated. Thanks as always to @mmirandyy.bsky.social for editing this so it is funnier than it has any right to be.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are not having a good time. Blown leads and scoring issues are just the beginning.

"When your week begins with conceding six goals in the first period to a struggling Dallas Stars team, you think it’s going to get better. It has to, right?"
