Looking at the incredible 8-3 score line, you’d be hard-pressed to believe that the opening 25 min of the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals was a competitive affair. Both teams scored a goal a piece, but it all fell apart for Sidney Crosby’s team in the second period. The Capitals scored five goals, with Jakob Chychrun beating goalie Alex Nedeljokvic twice within five minutes.
Despite Alex Ovechkin not scoring a goal, shoddy defense and goaltending cost the Penguins dearly. Naturally, the uninspiring performance invited criticism, and ESPN’s P.K. Subban didn’t pull any punches. “This is a poorly built team. They’re undersized, undermanned, they’re soft, they’re set up to fail,” Subban said about the Penguins after the match.
However, Subban wasn’t equally harsh toward everyone on the team. Having watched Sidney Crosby lead Canada to the 4 Nations Face-Off title, he demanded justice for the Team Canada captain. “Crosby deserves way more than this. At the level that he’s playing at, where he’s at right now in his game, this is not enough for Sidney Crosby to do some damage,” said Subban, saying the rest of the team failed to provide the support Crosby needed to respond to the Capitals offense.
