The Pittsburgh Penguins were off to a great start this season, but after they rattled off two straight wins, they've dropped their next three games, getting them to 2-3-0 for the year.
Given all of their talent, it's no doubt been a frustrating start for Pittsburgh, and after their last loss, superstar Evgeni Malkin has expressed just that in an interview.
After all the success this team has had since Malkin and Crosby were drafted, it's no surprise that the standards are high, and with all of their pre-season expectations, tensions could run high if the struggles continue.
With the additions of Erik Karlsson and Reilly Smith among others, this is a stacked team with lots of veterans ready for another Cup run, and with that comes incredibly high standards.
Ultimately, some may look at this as a bad thing, but veterans calling out their team has happened for years, and if the team can regroup and get back on the same page, this will be one of the NHL's most dangerous teams.
