A Great Day for Hockey?

FSN has been jamming the kool aide (aka the great day for hockey commercials) down our throats all season long, and yet, in the last 21 games, has there been a good day for hockey? In Pittsburgh anyways. Today the Penguins suffered another in a series of losses falling 4-0 to the New York Rangers. The Pens, once again looked ok, put the puck on net, showed some promise, but failed to do anything. As these dog days of winter continue to pass us by, our casual annoyance of a slump is slowly turning ugly, as was have to either accept one of two things, we are in an unusually long slump, or we just aren't that good. The Penguins play Atlanta tomorrow, and as we have the last few games, we are all sitting here saying slump breaker time, and I do hope that is the case. If the Penguins are not able to pull out a win against Atlanta, we have to start accepting the possibility of the second conclusion. It is undeniable that the Penguins have their fair share of tallent this year, but as of right now, for whatever reason they are just not clicking like they need to in order for us to win games.

Here at Pesonen and the Pens we will be calling for Mikey T's job, but before you jump on us, we never really liked him and we are not just blaming this entire slump on him. We feel that the system that Mikey T runs is never going to bring us a Stanley Cup, and we are wasting talent by running it. Anyways, right now is the quiet before the storm...if we lose this next game against Atlanta, the Pens Blogosphere might get worse than the LA riots... I would not be suprised to see some call ups if we start really eatin shit here...
