Are the Penguins in real danger of missing the playoffs?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off perhaps their most embarrassing loss of the season over the weekend against the San Jose Sharks and Hunter has a lot to say about it. He starts the show by going over the main reasons for the loss, including how this team has a weird ability of not starting games on time or ending periods on time. Hunter goes over some potential reasons for that while slamming the Penguins for their horrendous defensive zone coverage throughout the game. He looks at several plays where the Penguins were leaving Sharks players wide open in front of the net and why that's been a problem all season. He also didn't like how Casey DeSmith played on the fourth and fifth goals as those are saves that he probably should've made. After that, Hunter looks at how even the New York Islanders are making win-now moves now that they have Bo Horvat and makes sure to drive the message home that the Penguins need to do something. A change is needed to spark this team after they've been way too inconsistent all season long. Finally, Hunter ends the show with what improvements he's looking for from the Penguins in the second half, both systems-wise and player-personnel-wise.
