They&#8217;ve lost 13 of their past 19 games, and nothing&#8217;s changed.  Maybe nothing should?  Maybe they just need to endure and consistent winning will beging again tomorrow with the Flyers (23-10-9, 3rd Place), Washington (27-13-3, 2nd Place) on Wednesday, and Anaheim (22-17-5, 6th Place in the West) on Friday?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve watched anything of the Pens the past few weeks, you&#8217;d suggest they won&#8217;t start the winning this week, and that&#8217;s perfectly understandable.  But how long will Sid and his team keep losing?  I can&#8217;t see it going much further.  Remember, this team has 2 of the top 3 scoring leaders, and a handful of guys only 6 months removed from the Stanley Cup Finals.  There are pieces this season that just seem to not be filled from last season, but I keep faith in Shero to make any personnel moves necessary.  We aren&#8217;t at the All-Star break yet, so that could be a good thing&#8230;time to make up for the losses.<\/p>\n<p>Well, here&#8217;s to hoping <em>something, anything<\/em> happens this week!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s Go Pens!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the Pens fell out of the Conference Playoff outlook this past week.
