Questioning The Culture Change In Pittsburgh

09/17/2014 at 8:29am EDT

from Rob Rossi of he Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

No team in this city is better at controlling its message than the Penguins, so I have to believe the messages management has been sending behind the scenes are the ones they want out there.

Crosby's been crushed by the burden of being Sidney Crosby.

No.

Malkin needs to become a better leader.

Nope.

Ray Shero was too close to his players.

Not true.

Dan Bylsma ran a country club.

Not really.

It's time to change the culture.

Now, that might be a fair point, but accountability is a tough sell from a franchise with owners who only take questions when they're trying to sound like they've been paying close attention....

I'm also pretty skeptical of the overly layered management structure working out the way the Penguins think it could.
