Will the "team" that played in Dallas tonight please tell us where the Penguins are?

The other day my daughter asked me if we were going to the Penguins-Stars game. I said no. The reason was two-fold--The Penguins have a terrible record in Dallas (I can't find the actual figures but I did a couple of years ago and they weren't favorable) and the Pens aren't playing well this season, particularly on the PP (0-23 going into the game tonight). Guess what? The Penguins played like a BAD last-place team, including Brent Johnson who was on a hot streak, and they lose once again in Dallas.


Speaking of the PP, it's time for Bylsma to put the five lowest goal-scoring players on the roster together and try them out on it. How could it be worse? I know anytime an opposing player of any significance comes into a game with the Pens on a long goal-scoring slump he always seems to get well that night. Why couldn't it work for the Pens?


Speaking of worse, my patience are running out with Malkin, again. On one PP the Stars failed to get the puck out of their zone on three straight occasions until it finally found it's way to Malkin who proceeded to mishandle the chance, knocking it out of the zone for them. An he is getting how many millions for the "effort?"

Hopefully Jordan Staal will return soon and we at least have our best penalty-killer back on the ice, giving Fleury one less excuse for being scored upon.
