Penguins Need To Play A More Desperate Game

from Shelly Anderson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
There weren’t outward signs of anger after the Penguins’ fourth loss in a row and fifth loss in six games. Nor was there an outpouring of bewilderment.
Yet definitive answers weren’t forthcoming, either.
“It’s kind of like we’re just showing up and—I don’t want to say expecting to win because you do have to have kind of a confidence or swagger that you expect to win, but I think right now we think we’re good enough to show up and beat whoever we play, and we’re not,” defenseman Brooks Orpik said yesterday after the Penguins folded in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay at the St. Pete Times Forum to match their longest skein of the season.
“I don’t know how good we are, to be honest. I think early in the season we got lucky with a lot of games in a lot of different aspects. Maybe it’s catching up to us. I guess that’s the best way to describe the picture—the level of desperation isn’t what it needs to be.”
