Sidney Crosby, hits Penguins with reality check on Stanley Cup Playoffs chances

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been on an incredible run as of late to keep their playoff hopes alive, but with one game remaining in the regular season, they still need some help from other teams, and Sidney Crosby got real on where the team stands in comparison to where it was a few weeks back. “Obviously we need some help, but given the position we were in a few weeks ago, I think we would have taken this opportunity,” Sidney Crosby said, via Pens Inside Scoop. The Penguins picked up a 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday, a game in which Crosby scored a goal and had an assist. Crosby has been on a heater down the stretch this season, as he is now up to 42 goals with 50 assists for 92 points, according to NHL.com.
