U mad, bro?: Penguins are down 2-1 to Canadiens. So, yeah. We're furious. - TribLIVE

Well, the Penguins just blew a 3-1 lead to the Montreal Canadiens in Game 3 of their best-of-five preliminary round series.

The franchise is now on the verge of losing its third straight playoff series.

This time, it’s looking like the Penguins will be sent packing by a team that ranked 24th in the NHL entering this revamped playoff format?

So, what do you think?

Do you think Penguins fans might be a little mad right now.

Up 3-1 and then lose 4-3 to a bad team who they made look like the early ’80s Oilers!”.

The way the Penguins are making them look right now, it feels like Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jeff Petry are better than those bums Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey ever were.

This is the 13th consecutive playoff game in which the Penguins have failed to break the three-goal plateau.

Take a look at some of these numbers in the series so far.

I think this is just what they are now?

We don’t have a time machine that is going to take us back to 2009.

Every look.

All that said, I don’t think Murray is the reason they are on the verge of elimination.

But it’s not like I watched Game 1 or 3 and thought to myself, “You know what, if Tristan Jarry is in the net, they win that game!”?

The Penguins are down 2-1 because they don’t score enough anymore.

If they lose this series, is Sully’s job in jeopardy.

With this amount of talent to lose to this team it’s unreal.”.

By comparison, after the 2009 Stanley Cup, Dan Bylsma won one playoff series against the Senators in 2010.

After the 2017 Stanley Cup, his team beat the Flyers to open the 2018 playoffs, then lost to the Washington Capitals, the New York Islanders (2019 opening round), and may lose to the Canadiens?

Ben is upset Patrick Marleau keeps getting ice time.

That’s a little of it right there.

I also think they are deferring to a veteran.

And I think they are trying to justify Marleau’s unnecessary acquisition.

And I think the rest of North America is figuring that out now, too.

“Pittsburgh plays like a team that thinks they are better than what they are, which in turn leads to losses to inferior opponents.”.

I didn’t catch it live, but whatever he said, he’s 100% right.

Because the Penguins played like a team that was up 6-1 with two minutes left.

Because for the amount of time Penguins shooters have hit the glass so far in this series, maybe they’ll break it open again.
