Both Crosby and Malkin will be out for a good chunk of the start of this season. pic.twitter.com/pgdWff3ImP

I can't even believe this... Both Crosby and Malkin out to start the season. Things can go bad so quick with that.. Wow...

Jeff Carter and Teddy Blueger are your 1C & 2C...

That's definitely good. What's not good unfortunately is Crosby being out for six weeks after getting wrist surgery. That's not what you want to hear, especially if you're a Pens fan.

Starting the season without Crosby, Malkin, McCann and Tanev

Should be fun…#Pens pic.twitter.com/KdrHAIy8eS

Crosby out 6 weeks and missing the start of the season... Pens missing 2 of their core players now. Not a good start to the season that hasn't even started 😑

Sidney Crosby is going to be out six weeks, which means he'll miss the first two weeks of the season. Those first two weeks of the season for the Penguins with that schedule, and without Sid and Geno to begin the season is going to be rough.
