Hi.

This is double shot of penguins.

And if you're here, first off, thank you.

The place to become a member is dkps.net slash join penguins.

But more than anything, if you're here, it means that you're into, as Nolan puts it, pain and despair.

Drackel actually takes issue with that and says, no, it's pain, just pain.

But we're not finished, I think.

Ryan comes in with a really, really mellow afternoon, D.K.

Jerry says, hello, everyone, down.K. Jerry says,

hello, everyone. Down,

but not out. I think we get the idea.

It's not a happy bunch.

And you know what?

Neither are the athletes.

That room was tough last night.

Brian Rust was sitting there eager to be accountable, as always, leader that he is, and could hardly summon answers that were

longer than three or four words, which is not like him at all.

Eric Carlson, Sidney Crosby, the guys that were in there were struggling with it.

And that makes sense.

I think there's a shock to what's happened so far.

Reiner says that the penguins look old and slow.

Teams can make you look old and slow schematically. That's true actually,
