Put a Fork in ‘em, Penguins Fall to Jets

“Them guys is done like dinner.”

The immortal Dave “Tiger” Williams offered that blunt and colorful assessment of an earlier black-and-gold (then blue-and-white) squad during the 1977 playoffs.

A wholly apt description of our present bunch as well.

In the wake of the Penguins’ disheartening 2-1 loss to the Jets in Winnipeg last night, I’m going to dispense with a traditional game summary and offer a few thoughts and observations.

IMHO, the Pens lost more than a hockey game last night. Our playoff hopes bit the dust as well. We trail the stubborn Flyers by a whopping nine points in the race for third place in the Metro.
