from Anthony J. SanFilippo of the Delaware County Times,
It’s a good thing for the Penguins that the Steelers are in the AFC Championship game, keeping the spotlight off of them.
Making matters worse are reports that there is an internal rift between the players and coach Michel Therrien and that the Pittsburgh coach might not be around if it matters get much worse.
Speculation is that former Carolina Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette could replace Therrien at a moment’s notice.
It’s not just the coach.
Malkin and Crosby are still scoring points — they are the league’s top two scorers — but they are getting little help from teammates and finding that play has gotten a lot more physical compared to last season.

And the spotlight is just so far off the penguins too. I mean, no one is even paying attention to them at all. They are just STILL selling out games and there is article DAILY in both the Trib and the Post Gazette trying to explain why they are sucking. But seriously, no pressure at all.
I just love when idiots from out of town try to justify the feelings of a different city.
