Pat McAfee unleashed frustration as Penguins fall to Blackhawks in season opener

Pat McAfee, the passionate Pittsburgh Penguins fan, didn't hold back his frustration as he reacted to the Penguins' disappointing start to the 2023-24 NHL season.

In a game that was highly anticipated, featuring the showdown between Sidney Crosby and rising star Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks, it was the latter who had the last laugh.

Despite the Penguins taking an early 2-0 lead, they squandered the advantage, eventually losing 4-2. McAfee, known for his candid remarks, minced no words on his podcast:

"We stink again. The Chicago Blackhawks got a 14-year-old leading their team. Guy's smaller than everybody on the ice. He gets an assist. He was great on our show btw, but yeah, the Pens stink."

His frustration was palpable, as he expressed disappointment in the team's inability to hold on to their lead. He also issued a warning to the Penguins, saying:

"If the Pens are going to lay this type of cr*p on the ice, we're not going to be able to talk about it."
