They just can’t get over the hump most nights, particularly when they’re playing bottom-dwellers like the Ducks or Sharks. As the Pens head into the Shark Tank this evening for a 10:30pm puck drop against Macklin Celebrini and Co., it is this podcast’s opinion that (a Penguins fan) ought not get one’s hopes up. \n\nThe schedule over the next month is chalk-full of divisional games, versus teams the Pittsburgh Penguins haven’t necessarily fared too well agains. Frankly, in the interest of contending next season, this organization might do well to take the next 10-15 games as an ‘opportunity’ to climb in the draft lottery standings. \n\nWe close this episode out with a full discussion of Robert Eggers’s “Nosferatu,” a captivating new film that Jeff and Jordan took in, together, just last week. Warning, it’s definitely not a flic for the ultra-faint-of-heart.\n\nThanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh’s finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.
