If Worrell is running around elbowing skilled players, Kristof Oliwa should be able to do what he is able to do, and that is enforce a code of conduct on the ice. In a worse case scenario, they are sitting together in the penalty box up to 20 minutes and their focus is on one another instead of the skill players. Rest assured, when players like Norton and Niedermayer, both pacifists, are doing the chopping, we are on the verge of spiralling out of control. Let's be pro-active, not reactive. They can't seem to close the deal, last night's Kings game was another shining example.
Panic seems to set in, and they all seem to fall apart at the same time.
I still don't think there is enough leadership on that team. Brian Leetch can't do it all. Yes, they have gotten faster and younger, but they don't have the leadership that they need. With the numerous moves the Penguins made at the trading deadline, and the return of Jaromir Jagr, it seems the 'guins have been playing better the last two weeks. I think the Pens will make it.
