Penguins Angry; Why Friday’s Loss Raises Big Issues

The Pittsburgh Penguins showed a little more emotion after the game Friday than during it. The team slumbered through a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at PPG Paints Arena.

Later scoring chances gave the Penguins 11 shots through two periods, but they were originally scored with only nine. They ended with 27 shots after a late push that resulted in more shots but few scoring chances.

After the game, Penguins center Lars Eller ripped into his team’s effort.

From PPG Paints Arena, Dan Kingerski skipped past the game details–there wasn’t much to break down–but dove into the big issues already threatening the Penguins season, which Eller and Kris Letang articulated. But also a couple of other issues that could unwind the Penguins’ hopes.
