Let's talk about the Pittsburgh Penguins, and whether or not it's time to blow up the team, following the Pens' somewhat "embarrassing" loss to the Montreal Canadiens in their 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs qualifying play-in series. In fact, the loss adds to a string of only one win in the Pens' most previous ten playoff games, which isn't a great look.

So today we're looking to Josh Yohe's article on The Athletic and Spectors Hockey to discuss whether or not it's time for Jim Rutherford to make significant changes to this Penguins team.

The 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs are involving sixteen teams, which are the Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, New York Islanders, and Columbus Blue Jackets in the East, and the Colorado Avalanche, St. Louis Blues, Vegas Golden Knights, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, and Dallas Stars in the West.

Additionally, we spoke about the idea of a Matt Murray trade for the Toronto Maple Leafs' Frederik Andersen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAbrfj2Zw8s
