from Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

Things will change.

Things must change.

If these Penguins go down in flames for yet another Stanley Cup playoffs by falling to the Rangers in Game 7 on Tuesday. If they do so after barely breaking a sweat against an exhausted and otherwise unremarkable opponent. If they do so after two of the least passionate postseason performances in franchise history — including the 3-1 throttling in Game 6 on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden — then this really would be it.

This would be a gag unlike any we've seen, even in a half-decade of spring failure.

This would be the one that gets Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle involved.

This would be the one that brings meaningful, maybe seismic change.

I'm told ownership is fed up. They're furious. That's not a guess, either. They don't like what they're seeing, and no, unlike the bulk of the fan base, they don't see it solely as a coaching issue. They don't like any of what they're seeing.

And the changes that could result from that … wow, the mind boggles.

Dan Bylsma tops the list, and there should be no question that he should.
