Well, it's not going to work, okay? I'll start right there. I probably could end right there.

Sidney Crosby and Yaghani Malkin, skating together is not going to work. Good morning to you.

Good Tuesday morning. I'm Dan Kovachach of DK.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot of Penguins.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into football and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and pirates

in the same place that you found this.

Penguins versus Wild tonight at PPG Paints Arena.

All eyes will be, well, a lot of eyes will be on the other team since Mark

Andre Fleury will be in net for what's almost certainly going to be his career finale

in Pittsburgh.

But I have a feeling that once all of the fuss settles and the introductions

and the video tribute and everything else, everyone's going to be reminded that this is a hockey

team, meaning the local one, that's in trouble.

And if anyone needed a further reminder of that, beyond the three, six and one start,

beyond the disastrous, Western Canada trip just that, beyond the three, six and one start, beyond the disastrous.

Western Canada trip just now, beyond all of the statistics that have the Penguins ranked

as the worst defensive team in the NHL.

There they were at practice yesterday in Cranberry, Sid and Gino.

Same line.

It was Sid, Gino, and Ricard Raquel.

Now, I'm not going to be a dummy here and suggest that there isn't some skill on that line.
