Well, here we go again.......despite being in a position to win the game the Pens again find a way to lose...they did pick up a point, but both Buffalo and New Jersey are playing far better and have games in hand.....the Pens seem destined for a 4 or 5 seed in this seasons playoffs..........That is frustrating, as they are leaving points on the table everywhere this month....Fleury in my opinion snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by giving up a softie to allow the Canes to tie a game they eventually won on Saturday, and tonite he blew a 2-0 shootout lead allowing the Caps to beat him on three consecutive tries........Monday, they just did not come to play with the intensity the Wings did......not long ago I wrote that the Pens only had to go .500 or so down the stretch to be in good shape for the playoff seedings, and well, now that .500 records seems to be a challenge, considering that the Pens have only picked up 6 of the last possible 16 points.......ouch..........Their stars are letting them down......it is a toss up for me who has been the most disappointing this year.....Malkin or Fleury........even Sid seems to have fallen off the map when the teams needs to make its stretch run...................I hope I am wrong, but I do not go into this post season with anywhere near the high hopes that I entered either of the past two post seasons with.......Saturday brings the Flyers to town with both teams desperately needing 2 points..........
