Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Pens won't be in the playoffs for the first time in 16 years.
Isles clinch playoff spot; Pens' 16-year streak ends
The Islanders defeated the Canadiens on Wednesday night to clinch the final Stanley Cup playoff berth and eliminate the Penguins, ending their streak of 16 straight playoff appearances.
The last time Pittsburgh didn't take part in an NHL postseason was 2005-06, Sidney Crosby's rookie season. Their 16-year streak -- the longest active run in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB -- included a qualification-round loss in 2020, when the NHL expanded the playoffs to 24 teams because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

What a shame their last memory of the playoffs for what appears to be a loooong time is Artemi Panarin snapping a wrister in game 7 OT. Eat shit, Crosby.

There was a really bad one in the Sabres/Sens game last night, too. Giroux very clearly kicked a puck in the net, but good old Toronto decided a foot clearly moving forward towards the damn net is NOT a kick. Okay.
