Default Are the Penguins done from the playoffs?

I don't mean eliminated, because no one is, obviously...
but losing all three of the first home games is a bit disquieting. If they lose the next home games, but win the road games, I would have to say that they are cursed. Sorry, that's just me. But one thing is clear. They miss Staal. A LOT.

The team simply suffers from a complete lack of organization and communication in all areas of the ice. Drop passes to no one. Dumps with no one chasing. Cycles down deep, with one forward just not cycling. Passes to empty points. Clearing passes to forwards who just aren't are expecting them/paying attention. Passes to space, where the nearest player is an opponent. The proverbial right hand doesn't know what the proverbial left hand is doing.

Bylsma just needs Mario's boot up his ass and we'll be the first seed. :

I never thought he was a good coach. It seems like he got the best situation in the world, and then when he needs to be a coach, he can't.

Relax, they aren't even ten games into the season. The Pens are a talented team and have all the time in the world to turn it around, although I sure don't mind them losing .

Not even close. Its just the beginning of the season, and they lost three one goal games at home. One of which was a complete lack of attention by their goalie. There is no panic.

Last night, playing with two callups on defense already due to injury, the Pens limited the Leafs to fifthteen shots on goal. If anyone needs a little attention, its Fleury. He doesn't seem to thing the season's started yet.

But as a team, I don't have a problem with the way that they are playing. Even when playing well, there are still going to be missed drop passes and such. But the Pens are a puck posession team, and they are doing that quite well at the beginning of the season. When they start finishing their chances, the goals will come.

While I agree with the above statement 100% they also need to stop passing the puck and shoot the damm thing more.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! They've lost 3 of their first 4 games hit the panic button! They'll never recover from this! This will ruin the franchise forever and the Penguins will be relocated. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

But seriously they'll be fine. They just are off to a rough start, they'll end up being one of the best teams in the east and they'll make the playoffs easy.

Theres a lot of hockey to be played between now and April and ANYTHING could happen.
