They may score the most goals in the league with their offense as skilled as thiers but still lose many games to shotty defense and goaltending. 

 Where is Fluery the goalie?? They played him throughout the last season. Is he now too young and not good enough? I would say he is alot better than Thibault and his bad hips.

 Pens forking out money to some free agents may be a waste if they don't get the goaltending.

 I feel sorry for Mario. I hope they can make the playoffs. By the way Mario looks good and trim out there. I get the feeling that all this attention thrown Crosby's way will help super Mario fly under the radar. Ever listen to Mario's interviews as they are always about Crosby and never himself. With less pressure and expectations from his home town fans,look for Mario to be top five in scoring this season.  I think he still has the magic!
