Can Sidney Crosby breaking Mario Lemieux's record spur Penguins to better play after losing streak?

Post-Gazette Penguins insider Jason Mackey recaps an eventful weekend for the team, during which Sidney Crosby surpassed Mario Lemieux as their all-time leading points scorer.

What was it like being at PPG Paints Arena for that moment? What were the emotions for Crosby, his teammates, his coaches and the fans in the building? How can we step back and appreciate the connection, respect and history between those two icons of the Penguins franchise?

What did we learn from the Penguins' losing streak, which mercifully ended on Sunday night against the Montreal Canadiens? Can Crosby's record-breaking performance spur them on to better performances? And why should we dismiss common hot takes currently surrounding the team, like second guessing the Tristan Jarry trade or calls to fire Dan Muse? Jason tackles those topics and more.
