Whats Worse?

Whats worse right now the Penguins Power Play or the Steelers?

This is a question that everybody will easily answer because the Penguins are doing so well right now and the Steelers have choked any playoff chance away by losing to the worst 3 teams in the league. But when you step back and really look at it I think you would have a good argument that the Penguins PP has been worse. Can you name one game this season that the Penguins have won because of there PP (I can think of one where they had a PP goal in OT). They have been winning because they are head and shoulders better than most other teams, but most of there games have been close and could have went either way. If their PP was producing they would be beating teams by 2 or 3 goals rather than having these nail biting finishes.

Even though the PP was bad once again last night against Montreal I was glad to see they changed what they were doing a little bit, Crosby was playing much higher than he normally does. I would really like to see them play an umbrella with Crosby and Malkin on opposite sides of the ice.
