Don't Blame the Refs
In Pittsburgh, it's always the same - blame the QB or the goalie. That being said, there was a lot of talk about the defense sucking yesterday, probably only because it was so damn obvious.
At least Orpik called the team out again:
Remember this Wednesday night, even if the Penguins defensemen probably couldn't wait to forget, because it generated this assessment from trusted voice Brooks Orpik.
"Which one do you want to talk about?" he said of four third-period goals that were scored within about 13 minutes. "Take your pick, and I'll tell you.
"It's not that (other teams) are doing anything. I mean, everything they get, we give them. It's just (our) guys got to be accountable. Part of the problem is we're not playing to the situation. I mean, why are defensemen playing like forwards when we've got a 4-2 lead — this is the problem to me.
"We've got enough good forwards here. We don't need our defensemen playing like forwards when we're up 4-2."
I seriously love that man. So proud to rock his jersey.
