Of course there will be other moves, but the craziness from the Expansion Draft and first day of free agency is officially done. In this segment, we will be taking a look at two players from each NHL team who are set to bounce back next season. Sometimes players will have down seasons, but end up completely turning it around in the following one. This will inevitably happen for this upcoming year, too. In this article, we will be focusing on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
After another strong regular season, they found themselves knocked out of the first round again. With the core getting older, the clock is ticking for them to win one last Stanley Cup. For them to have more success next season, they need these two players to bounce back. They certainly are capable to when looking at their past campaigns.
Knowing full well that we were going to get drubbed by Edmonton and not caring because it was fun. By their own admission they say it is a business. That would make me a consumer. As a consumer I have the freedom to purchase a product based on quality, need, and desire. Why is it I have to be denigrated if I am not fully loyal to the Penguins. How many players left for money over team? Plus the Pens are not fully loyal to me!
Loyalty is only of value if it exists in a egalitarian relationship. Great article Dan! True fan win and enjoy the wins the pens give you and you take the losses on the chin but you buck up for a better performance the next game. True fans are louder and more … Read more ». Take another stab at this article when pandemic is over and folks are getting paid a living wage. No bandwagoner here, but my health takes precedence over attending games in person.
Some of us have health issues that makes us too vulnerable. Great article! The story specifically was in favor of getting more people, who have been priced out, back. Surprised at your take Dan! These are the bandwagon fans. Great story I have been following the Pen before they ever won a division title or Stanley cup …. When we had seasons tickets from our family owned a small business, and we used the tickets to enjoy as well as a giveaway perk to our hard working team.
The last year in the Igloo we had four tickets in C7 center ice. They doubled in price and playoff tickets cost about the same as the regular season if the boys made a deep run, which we never complained about, but cost a … Read more ».
Maybe it has something to do with a pandemic and not bandwagon fans abandoning the team. Also could be the fact ticket prices are through the roof and only the corporate crowd can afford tickets for a night out. I stream every game on my hacked game center and not just pens games, hockey every night for me.

It all changes Monday night, when the story lines go from theories and thoughts to a real-time, on-ice matchup of Pittsburgh, chasing its second straight Cup and third in nine years in a city that has grown accustomed to hockey celebrations, against Nashville, a first-time finalist in a festive town learning to love hockey on the fly.
The Penguins -- who beat Columbus, Washington and Ottawa to get to this point -- feature world-class offensive talent and the speed to make their transition game and forecheck tough to handle, even if their defense has used a by-committee format with top defenseman Kris Letang missing the postseason after neck surgery. Nashville showed in beating Chicago, St. Louis and Anaheim that it also has speed, plus a stingy but swift defense and a goaltender in Pekka Rinne who not only is having probably the best stretch of games of his life but also is such a good puck-handler that he often gets the Predators' transition game going.
